1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:06,200 This video is brought to you by our trusted graphics partner, NVIDIA. 2 00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:16,240 This is the Razer Naga Hex LOL. Oh, 3 00:00:14,559 --> 00:00:21,359 wait. League of Legends. Hold on, that's different. Uh, yeah, it's a game, not a 4 00:00:19,359 --> 00:00:26,160 laughing thing. Okay, so this is the Razer Naga Expert Moa, which I actually 5 00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:30,720 had to look up. I hadn't heard of that before. So, it's apparently uh something 6 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:34,480 something. can't remember. Multiplayer online battle arena. That's a genre now. 7 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:40,480 I mean, I always thought we just called it Dota and League of Legends because those are sort of the primary games. But 8 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:46,800 there you go. Optimized for mobile and action RPG games or I mean MMO probably 9 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:50,719 is just as valid for something like this 10 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:53,680 because uh however, unlike the regular 11 00:00:50,719 --> 00:00:58,000 Naga, which has 12 buttons on the side, the Naga Hex is named such because it 12 00:00:56,239 --> 00:01:03,840 only has six buttons on the side. So, it's not quite as uh as crazy optimized 13 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:07,920 for tons and tons and tons of different functionality, but more like you want to 14 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:12,960 have a bunch of different profiles with a few different um 15 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:17,200 commands that you'd want to be able to execute at a moment's notice. Now, if 16 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:21,439 you've followed Linus Tech Tips, you probably already know that I do like the 17 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:25,280 Naga, uh the original one. I've never tried the Hex, although based on what 18 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:29,920 I'm seeing so far, they're going to be pretty similar. And I do like the idea 19 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:34,560 of mice that have a lot of buttons on the side. Uh the G600 was probably the 20 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:38,640 biggest disappointment for me out of the lot just because um and again if you've 21 00:01:37,119 --> 00:01:45,600 watched Linus Tech Tips videos for a while you'll have you'll know this already, but because I found the I found 22 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:49,840 the tracking to feel sort of um a little bit laggy. There was some some latency 23 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:54,880 there that was bothering me. Whereas the Naga I have never had that problem. So, 24 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:58,880 it's um I mean you can see that it's one of the ones that's actually on our 25 00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:03,439 gaming test bench. So, we do actually use it. It's uh you can always tell when 26 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:06,320 we pull something out and it's sort of nearby and convenient, but it's 27 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:09,759 something that we like and actually use day-to-day. So, there you go. So, let's 28 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:13,760 have a look at what Razer includes. Dominate the Fields of Justice with the 29 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:16,879 Naga Hex. Cool. Okay. So, there's a little card there. They're so good at 30 00:02:14,879 --> 00:02:20,800 packaging, giving you little like things that are sort of neat. Changing the 31 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:24,800 rubber thumb rest. Okay. So, there's a thumb rest in the middle which you can 32 00:02:22,640 --> 00:02:28,319 apparently adjust to different side grips right there. So, you've got a 33 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:31,520 larger one and a smaller one. And then it looks like the medium one comes 34 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:35,120 equipped on the mouse. And this is smart actually for a reason that I'll explain 35 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:39,040 in a moment. Uh we've got some Razor stickers which are obviously pretty 36 00:02:36,959 --> 00:02:43,120 sweet as well as the rest of their usual documentation. Ah, yes. You get a free 37 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:46,480 champion with the mouse. And since I don't need a League of Legends champion, 38 00:02:44,879 --> 00:02:51,920 I would be happy to give him to you guys. So, you get a free Trindir. 39 00:02:49,599 --> 00:02:55,519 Yay! First one to reclaim the code gets it. 40 00:02:53,519 --> 00:02:59,200 There you go. Enjoy. Free giveaway for you guys there. All right. So, what's 41 00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:03,120 good about the Naga Hex? First of all, it has the same shape as the original 42 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:09,200 Naga, which I like. It's perfect for sort of smaller and smallish medium 43 00:03:06,319 --> 00:03:12,480 hands to be very nicely contoured. So, you can see from both angles here, 44 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:15,599 there's somewhere to rest your pinky, somewhere to rest your ring finger, 45 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:19,120 places for your middle and index fingers, and of course, somewhere to put 46 00:03:17,519 --> 00:03:24,400 your thumb. I find for myself personally, this is the best ergonomic 47 00:03:21,920 --> 00:03:28,560 razor mouse that I have used and I've used pretty much all of them. I also 48 00:03:26,640 --> 00:03:32,480 really like this this improvement on the Hex here versus the original Naga. So, 49 00:03:30,799 --> 00:03:36,000 people complained with the original Naga that you would often accidentally hit 50 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:39,440 these buttons when you're trying to lift the mouse off the surface. I personally 51 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:43,280 never had that issue with it, but some people did. So, what they've done is 52 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:47,280 they've added this thumb rest right in the middle of your six buttons here. 53 00:03:44,959 --> 00:03:50,799 Number one is that depending on what size you use, you can optimize it so 54 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:56,080 that you can easily feel your way around these buttons. And number two is that 55 00:03:53,599 --> 00:04:00,159 also gives you a comp a convenient place to hold the mouse should you want to 56 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:03,920 easily lift off the table. So without using these two fingers at all, I can 57 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:07,599 take the mouse. I can go like hold on. There we go. Yeah, I can go like this 58 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:12,080 without actuating any of those side buttons. I can move quite vigorously. So 59 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:16,400 this is extremely handy. Now, in terms of uh mappings, similar to the original 60 00:04:14,799 --> 00:04:20,079 Naga, it looks like they've changed the uh the pad on the bottom. So, the 61 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:25,280 original Naga had a ring-shaped pad around the entire mouse, whereas the Hex 62 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:28,880 version has got smaller pad feet that are here. Uh these approaches look 63 00:04:27,280 --> 00:04:31,759 pretty similar to me because the surface area, see, it's quite thin around the 64 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:36,160 edges here, looks pretty similar. They're going to take a long way to wear down either way, but there's selections 65 00:04:34,639 --> 00:04:41,120 here. So, you can either use the number pad to uh to bind to these keys 66 00:04:38,479 --> 00:04:45,600 automatically or you can use the number keys across the top of the keyboard. 67 00:04:43,280 --> 00:04:49,600 They both also include more support right around the sensor itself. It is a 68 00:04:47,840 --> 00:04:52,400 laser mouse. There you go. So, there's that one on that one in right in the 69 00:04:51,199 --> 00:04:55,759 middle of the mouse, so it glides extremely smoothly. Now, in terms of 70 00:04:54,240 --> 00:05:00,800 buttons on this guy right here, there's the six on the side. So, these are 71 00:04:57,840 --> 00:05:05,280 mechanical buttons. They've got a very satisfying click to 72 00:05:02,639 --> 00:05:08,880 them, whereas the original Naga didn't really have that click. It was a very, 73 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:16,000 very different feel. That are actually rated for up to 250 74 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:20,000 clicks per minute, which I think is actually pretty interesting. That's an 75 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:24,639 awful lot of clicks, especially given that you'd never click one of the 76 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:30,160 individual buttons 250 times a minute, unless it's about five times a second on 77 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:34,320 one button. So, it's pretty much optimized for the most demanding 78 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:39,440 workloads, I think, as far as that goes. It does include support for Synapse 2.0. 79 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:42,639 Now, Synapse originally, there were a lot of complaints about it, but Razer 80 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:48,479 really addressed them with one of the most recent updates. So, it's their cloud-based software that allows you to 81 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:51,680 essentially store your profiles for your peripheral and take them with you 82 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:55,199 because anytime you're connected to the internet, you log into your profile and 83 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:58,240 it'll go boom, you're using your Razer peripherals. Okay, these are all the 84 00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:02,479 settings that you like to use. So, it's just a cloud-based thing, but it 85 00:05:59,919 --> 00:06:05,520 originally if you didn't log in, you wouldn't be able to even use the 86 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:08,639 profiles on a peripheral that you'd already plugged in. So, they've 87 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:12,479 completely fixed that now. So, it works even in offline mode, and it'll give you 88 00:06:10,639 --> 00:06:15,919 the most up-to-date ones if you are not in offline mode. Going back to the 89 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:18,960 mouse, they've relocated two of the other buttons as well. So, by default, 90 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:22,479 these are your back and forward buttons on the original Naga. Whereas now, 91 00:06:21,039 --> 00:06:27,759 instead of having two buttons up here, which I actually found were quite difficult to reach, particularly this 92 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:32,880 one anyway, they've relocated them here in more like the traditional DPI sensor 93 00:06:30,639 --> 00:06:37,039 switching location that people are more used to seeing, whereas this is a bit of 94 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:41,360 a uh there's not that many mice that use this particular configuration. Uh, did I 95 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:44,800 mention already it has a 5600 DPI sensor? I hope I did. Um, in terms of 96 00:06:43,280 --> 00:06:48,479 the rest of the looks, there hasn't really been that much that's changed. 97 00:06:46,319 --> 00:06:52,000 So, instead of an illuminated Razer logo here, there's an illuminated League of 98 00:06:49,840 --> 00:06:56,560 Legends logo, which goes along with the co-branding of the mouse, as well as 99 00:06:54,400 --> 00:07:00,000 instead of a blue illuminated scroll wheel, they've gone with a yellow one 100 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:05,199 instead. So, we're going to go ahead and plug this in so you guys can get a good idea of what the mouse looks like once 101 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:08,840 it lights up. And we're going to finish up with 102 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:18,400 a quick unboxing of the accompanying League of Legends Goliath mouse pad. So 103 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:22,479 there you go. It has some League of Legends artwork on it. It's also got 104 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:26,800 sort of the usual things you've come to expect from any Goliath mouse pad. So it 105 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:31,520 has an anti- fray edge, so it's not going to well fray. Although in my 106 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:35,599 experience, usually even the ones that go straight to the edge with the regular 107 00:07:33,039 --> 00:07:39,440 mouse weave usually take two to three years to start fraying. It's got a nice 108 00:07:37,199 --> 00:07:42,160 rubber bottom on it. So, I mean, what is there to say about it? It has League of 109 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:48,240 Legends graphics on it. It goes with your mouse and it's made by Razor, so it's probably fine. It has a pretty 110 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:54,240 tight weave, so it's a fairly smooth surface for a cloth pad. So, personally, 111 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:58,960 I do prefer a bit of a less dense weave, but that comes down to the individual 112 00:07:55,840 --> 00:08:00,479 user's choice. And I think that pretty 113 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:03,840 much wraps it up. Now, it's come to my attention that you guys guys may not 114 00:08:02,479 --> 00:08:10,479 have seen the game code the first time around. So, I'm just going to flash that one more time. And best of luck to 115 00:08:07,599 --> 00:08:14,639 whoever gets the barbarian there. Thank you for checking out Oh yeah, I think 116 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:18,800 they're rated for yeah, 10 million click life cycle for the uh for the buttons on 117 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:22,560 the mouse. And I think that's everything that I wanted to say about it. Thanks 118 00:08:20,879 --> 00:08:26,160 for checking out this unboxing. Don't forget to subscribe to Lin's Tech Tips 119 00:08:23,919 --> 00:08:29,520 for more unboxings, reviews, and other computer videos. And no, there was one 120 00:08:27,759 --> 00:08:34,560 more thing I wanted to say. There's 24 click spots. Razer, for whatever reason, 121 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:37,120 calls that out. 122 00:08:34,560 --> 00:08:42,279 24. We can count them together if you'd like, or we could just end the video 123 00:08:38,560 --> 00:08:42,279 now. Make sure you subscribe.
