WEBVTT 00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:06.200 This video is brought to you by our trusted graphics partner, NVIDIA. 00:00:11.280 --> 00:00:16.240 This is the Razer Naga Hex LOL. Oh, 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 00:00:19.359 --> 00:00:26.160 laughing thing. Okay, so this is the Razer Naga Expert Moa, which I actually 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 00:00:28.720 --> 00:00:34.480 something. can't remember. Multiplayer online battle arena. That's a genre now. 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 00:00:37.680 --> 00:00:46.800 there you go. Optimized for mobile and action RPG games or I mean MMO probably 00:00:43.680 --> 00:00:50.719 is just as valid for something like this 00:00:46.800 --> 00:00:53.680 because uh however, unlike the regular 00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:58.000 Naga, which has 12 buttons on the side, the Naga Hex is named such because it 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 00:01:01.520 --> 00:01:07.920 for tons and tons and tons of different functionality, but more like you want to 00:01:05.680 --> 00:01:12.960 have a bunch of different profiles with a few different um 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 00:01:15.600 --> 00:01:21.439 you've followed Linus Tech Tips, you probably already know that I do like the 00:01:19.360 --> 00:01:25.280 Naga, uh the original one. I've never tried the Hex, although based on what 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 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 00:01:32.720 --> 00:01:38.640 biggest disappointment for me out of the lot just because um and again if you've 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 00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:49.840 the tracking to feel sort of um a little bit laggy. There was some some latency 00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:54.880 there that was bothering me. Whereas the Naga I have never had that problem. So, 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 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 00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:06.320 we pull something out and it's sort of nearby and convenient, but it's 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 00:02:08.160 --> 00:02:13.760 have a look at what Razer includes. Dominate the Fields of Justice with the 00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:16.879 Naga Hex. Cool. Okay. So, there's a little card there. They're so good at 00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:20.800 packaging, giving you little like things that are sort of neat. Changing the 00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:24.800 rubber thumb rest. Okay. So, there's a thumb rest in the middle which you can 00:02:22.640 --> 00:02:28.319 apparently adjust to different side grips right there. So, you've got a 00:02:26.480 --> 00:02:31.520 larger one and a smaller one. And then it looks like the medium one comes 00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:35.120 equipped on the mouse. And this is smart actually for a reason that I'll explain 00:02:33.040 --> 00:02:39.040 in a moment. Uh we've got some Razor stickers which are obviously pretty 00:02:36.959 --> 00:02:43.120 sweet as well as the rest of their usual documentation. Ah, yes. You get a free 00:02:41.040 --> 00:02:46.480 champion with the mouse. And since I don't need a League of Legends champion, 00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:51.920 I would be happy to give him to you guys. So, you get a free Trindir. 00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:55.519 Yay! First one to reclaim the code gets it. 00:02:53.519 --> 00:02:59.200 There you go. Enjoy. Free giveaway for you guys there. All right. So, what's 00:02:57.360 --> 00:03:03.120 good about the Naga Hex? First of all, it has the same shape as the original 00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:09.200 Naga, which I like. It's perfect for sort of smaller and smallish medium 00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:12.480 hands to be very nicely contoured. So, you can see from both angles here, 00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:15.599 there's somewhere to rest your pinky, somewhere to rest your ring finger, 00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:19.120 places for your middle and index fingers, and of course, somewhere to put 00:03:17.519 --> 00:03:24.400 your thumb. I find for myself personally, this is the best ergonomic 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 00:03:26.640 --> 00:03:32.480 really like this this improvement on the Hex here versus the original Naga. So, 00:03:30.799 --> 00:03:36.000 people complained with the original Naga that you would often accidentally hit 00:03:34.480 --> 00:03:39.440 these buttons when you're trying to lift the mouse off the surface. I personally 00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:43.280 never had that issue with it, but some people did. So, what they've done is 00:03:41.040 --> 00:03:47.280 they've added this thumb rest right in the middle of your six buttons here. 00:03:44.959 --> 00:03:50.799 Number one is that depending on what size you use, you can optimize it so 00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:56.080 that you can easily feel your way around these buttons. And number two is that 00:03:53.599 --> 00:04:00.159 also gives you a comp a convenient place to hold the mouse should you want to 00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:03.920 easily lift off the table. So without using these two fingers at all, I can 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 00:04:05.760 --> 00:04:12.080 without actuating any of those side buttons. I can move quite vigorously. So 00:04:09.760 --> 00:04:16.400 this is extremely handy. Now, in terms of uh mappings, similar to the original 00:04:14.799 --> 00:04:20.079 Naga, it looks like they've changed the uh the pad on the bottom. So, the 00:04:18.400 --> 00:04:25.280 original Naga had a ring-shaped pad around the entire mouse, whereas the Hex 00:04:23.120 --> 00:04:28.880 version has got smaller pad feet that are here. Uh these approaches look 00:04:27.280 --> 00:04:31.759 pretty similar to me because the surface area, see, it's quite thin around the 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 00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:41.120 here. So, you can either use the number pad to uh to bind to these keys 00:04:38.479 --> 00:04:45.600 automatically or you can use the number keys across the top of the keyboard. 00:04:43.280 --> 00:04:49.600 They both also include more support right around the sensor itself. It is a 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 00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:55.759 middle of the mouse, so it glides extremely smoothly. Now, in terms of 00:04:54.240 --> 00:05:00.800 buttons on this guy right here, there's the six on the side. So, these are 00:04:57.840 --> 00:05:05.280 mechanical buttons. They've got a very satisfying click to 00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:08.880 them, whereas the original Naga didn't really have that click. It was a very, 00:05:06.960 --> 00:05:16.000 very different feel. That are actually rated for up to 250 00:05:13.440 --> 00:05:20.000 clicks per minute, which I think is actually pretty interesting. That's an 00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:24.639 awful lot of clicks, especially given that you'd never click one of the 00:05:22.400 --> 00:05:30.160 individual buttons 250 times a minute, unless it's about five times a second on 00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:34.320 one button. So, it's pretty much optimized for the most demanding 00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:39.440 workloads, I think, as far as that goes. It does include support for Synapse 2.0. 00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:42.639 Now, Synapse originally, there were a lot of complaints about it, but Razer 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 00:05:46.400 --> 00:05:51.680 essentially store your profiles for your peripheral and take them with you 00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:55.199 because anytime you're connected to the internet, you log into your profile and 00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:58.240 it'll go boom, you're using your Razer peripherals. Okay, these are all the 00:05:56.800 --> 00:06:02.479 settings that you like to use. So, it's just a cloud-based thing, but it 00:05:59.919 --> 00:06:05.520 originally if you didn't log in, you wouldn't be able to even use the 00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:08.639 profiles on a peripheral that you'd already plugged in. So, they've 00:06:06.880 --> 00:06:12.479 completely fixed that now. So, it works even in offline mode, and it'll give you 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 00:06:14.400 --> 00:06:18.960 mouse, they've relocated two of the other buttons as well. So, by default, 00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:22.479 these are your back and forward buttons on the original Naga. Whereas now, 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 00:06:25.520 --> 00:06:32.880 one anyway, they've relocated them here in more like the traditional DPI sensor 00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:37.039 switching location that people are more used to seeing, whereas this is a bit of 00:06:34.720 --> 00:06:41.360 a uh there's not that many mice that use this particular configuration. Uh, did I 00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:44.800 mention already it has a 5600 DPI sensor? I hope I did. Um, in terms of 00:06:43.280 --> 00:06:48.479 the rest of the looks, there hasn't really been that much that's changed. 00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:52.000 So, instead of an illuminated Razer logo here, there's an illuminated League of 00:06:49.840 --> 00:06:56.560 Legends logo, which goes along with the co-branding of the mouse, as well as 00:06:54.400 --> 00:07:00.000 instead of a blue illuminated scroll wheel, they've gone with a yellow one 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 00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:08.840 it lights up. And we're going to finish up with 00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:18.400 a quick unboxing of the accompanying League of Legends Goliath mouse pad. So 00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:22.479 there you go. It has some League of Legends artwork on it. It's also got 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 00:07:24.960 --> 00:07:31.520 has an anti- fray edge, so it's not going to well fray. Although in my 00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:35.599 experience, usually even the ones that go straight to the edge with the regular 00:07:33.039 --> 00:07:39.440 mouse weave usually take two to three years to start fraying. It's got a nice 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 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 00:07:45.520 --> 00:07:54.240 tight weave, so it's a fairly smooth surface for a cloth pad. So, personally, 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 00:07:55.840 --> 00:08:00.479 user's choice. And I think that pretty 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 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 00:08:07.599 --> 00:08:14.639 whoever gets the barbarian there. Thank you for checking out Oh yeah, I think 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 00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:22.560 the mouse. And I think that's everything that I wanted to say about it. Thanks 00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:26.160 for checking out this unboxing. Don't forget to subscribe to Lin's Tech Tips 00:08:23.919 --> 00:08:29.520 for more unboxings, reviews, and other computer videos. And no, there was one 00:08:27.759 --> 00:08:34.560 more thing I wanted to say. There's 24 click spots. Razer, for whatever reason, 00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:37.120 calls that out. 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 00:08:38.560 --> 00:08:42.279 now. Make sure you subscribe.
