so one of the jokes that cameraman and I
0:04
uh often joke about and that he actually joked about before we started this video
0:08
is uh the selling point of more technology because I went to buy some
0:12
badminton shoes once and he was with me and uh I asked the guy what's the
0:16
difference between this one and this one for $10 more and the guy said oh this
0:20
one more technology and I went well what other Technologies does he have he's
0:23
like oh no it has more technology I'm like okay well I'll take the other one since clearly there's no difference
0:27
between these shoes so cameraman point out before I started hey you unboxed
0:31
this before and I'm like no no this is a more different one he says what does it
0:35
have more technology inside I said actually no it does because unlike the
0:40
regular Razer Naga the Razer Naga epic Elite MMO gaming mouse features Wireless
0:45
technology which is more technology by the way as well as interchangeable grip
0:50
technology which is well not really technology it was more of an accessory
0:55
so let's start getting this thing unboxed so that we can have a look at
0:58
the product itself this is actually
1:01
an open box product at NCIX so I won't be breaking any seals today but you
1:05
should pretty much get the point so the first thing we find inside is the Razer
1:09
Naga epic which you can clearly see does not have a cord attached more on that in
1:14
a bit next we actually see the base
1:17
station which has some nice weight to it so it shouldn't move around
1:20
unnecessarily if you don't want it
1:24
to okay taking out that piece Razor's always so good at packaging so what
1:28
we've got in here is their usual 3 in thick of
1:33
documentation congratulations there's no turning back you're a razor owner now uh
1:37
Razer Naga epic grid trainer ooh these are good this is that uh here you go so
1:43
little tabs that you can put on the MMO buttons on the side to help remember
1:48
which is which so you can feel uh where the buttons are quick start guide Master
1:54
guide yes manual principal so that would
1:57
be another Master guide product catalog and some razor
2:01
stickers next we find a box Inside the
2:05
Box we find some phon actually Inside the Box we find a lot of good stuff so
2:11
this is our cord just like the Mamba the
2:15
Naga epic allows you through the use of
2:18
this connector right here just like that to switch it into a quartered Mouse
2:23
should you so desire at any given time maybe your battery dies maybe you want
2:28
it to charge while you're using it whatever the case may be you can switch
2:32
to corded if you want at any time we also have a battery pack nice beefy
2:37
looking thing I'm actually not quite sure how to install that but I'm not
2:40
going to worry too much about it at this
2:44
time yeah I'm really not going to worry too much about it at this time okay we
2:48
also have the other two grips so according to Razer there are the three
2:52
grips there is one the Palm grip which I
2:57
guess is this one they're not actually labeled so that's that's a little challenging oh no they go this way okay
3:01
so here we go so there's this so let's let's try and let's try and approximate
3:06
which is which so I'm going to go ahead and say that this is probably the claw
3:09
grip okay this has got to be the classic
3:12
grip and the one that comes on it is the Palm grip so the Palm grip is a little
3:16
bit wider okay so that means that you can cup it better with your hand we take
3:20
that off and we put on the classic grip
3:24
that's going to be the one that the regular Naga ships with so it's a little
3:28
bit less uh you can't spread out your hand quite as
3:32
much but still quite comfortable it's more of a three fingers on the mice and
3:36
one one kind of Dead Space okay and then
3:39
finally you've got the claw grip which goes on just like that okay and the claw
3:44
grip is intended to be used with only these two fingers actuating the buttons
3:49
your ring finger or your pinky finger gripping the mouse on this side and then
3:52
your thumb gripping the mouse on this side personally I don't feel the Naga is
3:56
best suited for claw grip because you need control of your thumb for these
3:59
button so it's better to be holding on to the mouse over here oh sorry claw
4:04
grip no no claw grip you do still have your palm on I forgot that's fingertip
4:07
grip that I was thinking of so you can still control the buttons here you hold
4:11
the mouse here here here you stabilize with your palm and you hold it also with
4:15
your ring finger or pinky finger finally I did happen to find where the battery
4:20
pack goes when I opened it up so you put it in there it goes in this way there's
4:24
a little eject button well oh I think that's the eject button just like that
4:29
and and you can take it out should you so desire so it is a user replaceable
4:32
battery just like the regular Naga you have 12 yes 12 buttons on the side of
4:39
the mouse which can be used to you know use potions or cast spells or whatever
4:44
it is that you want to do okay you've also got your two standard Mouse buttons
4:48
your mouse wheel two more buttons here and on the bottom you can actually
4:52
change the mode of these buttons on the side you can switch them to either bind to the number pad or to bind to the
4:57
number keys at the top of the keyboard you can turn the mouse on and off it
5:00
also has a pairing button which matches the pairing button on the base don't
5:04
forget to subscribe to Linus Tech tips oh actually hold on no here's one more
5:08
thing so you can also do this if you want to charge the mouse on the base
5:12
station you plug this in here put on the base station boom now it charges that
5:15
way or you can plug it directly into the mouse you have both of those options
