Razer Naga Hex Gaming Mouse Review

So now we have the Naga Hex itself. We’ve already talked about the shape and coating of the mouse, but now we can see the main feature and the reason why the mouse is called the Hex, and that is the six thumb buttons (although the buttons themselves are octagonal shaped).

The Hex has eleven buttons overall, including the scroll wheel. The left side of the mouse contains the six buttons which is where the Hex gets its name from. These are by default, the numbers 1-6 or if you flick a switch on the bottom, which is essentially the same as the num lock key, they become the num lock equivalent. There are also two buttons directly behind the scroll wheel that act as a forward and backwards navigators whilst browsing the web.

From the front of the Hex you can see the soft contours and smooth shape that is true to all of the Naga mice by Razer. The shape suits any gamers that have the “claw” grip.

The right side of the mouse is contoured with a ring finger rest, to fit comfortably in your hand. The ring finger support is made of a textured plastic that offers more grip.  In the photo below you can also see the high gloss coating. When plugged in, the hex buttons and the scroll wheel light up green. The Razer logo pulsates like it whole thing is alive.

The belly of the Hex is very simple in form. There is no weight management system, just the 5600 DPI infra-red laser sensor and a switch to change the functions of the six hex buttons.

So now we have had a good look at the Naga Hex, lets see how the mouse performs in the real world.
