Razer NAGA Pro Modular Wireless Gaming Mouse Review

How Much Does it Cost?

The Razer NAGA Pro Modular Wireless Gaming Mouse is available right now from the usual retailers. Of course, this is a very high-end mouse, with a lot of premium features. The price certainly reflects this too, with an MSRP of £149.99, it’s clearly not going to be an impulse purchase. However, It’s currently just £125.54 on Amazon, which is a bit easier to swallow. However, if you want it with the Mouse Dock, which I admit, I do, it’ll be £196.79. However, if you want a similar modular design, the Razer NAGA Trinity is only £69.99, but overall, it’s wired and uses older technologies throughout its design.

Overview

The price of this mouse is pretty high, I will admit, but I still think it represents very good value for money. No, seriously, I really do. Let me explain! A 12 button MMO gaming mouse is anything from £70-90 for the Corsair Scimitar Elite RGB or the Logitech G600. However, they’re not wireless gaming mice, which certainly adds to the value. Furthermore, it’s a high-end wireless with lower latency, so more comparable with the new flagships from Corsair and SteelSeries, which are again more expensive.

Then we get onto the sensor, and it’s fair to say that Razer has most gaming mice absolutely whipped here too. The Razer Focus+ Optical Sensor has a blisteringly high-end 20,000 DPI true tracking speed. Razer claims that it’ll do 99.6% resolution accuracy, which is to say, it’s fantastic. It’s also far above what we would normally see on a wireless mouse, as it’ll be a little power-hungry. However, I suspect the slightly heavier design of this mouse is for a bigger battery to compensate for this; around 80-100 hours wireless or even 150 hours in Bluetooth with the lights off.

They’ve equipped it with the Razer Optical Mouse Switches too. These use an infrared beam to register the click, rather than a copper contact. Giving them a 0.2 milliseconds response time, with no debounce delay, making them sharp enough to spark interest in the eSports scene.

Then you’ve got the multiple points of connectivity. Fully wireless using the USB dongle and 2.4 GHz technology, which, as far as I can tell, is just as responsive as the mouse is in wired mode. It doesn’t compromise on performance at all. And, as I just said, you can use it as a fully wired USB mouse too, which is also a way of keeping it charged, so you never have to stop playing. Finally, Bluetooth mode means it’ll pair directly with a mobile device, laptop or similar too.

The list keeps going on because there are no mice on the market with the same level of hardware, and also that offer three fully realised button layouts. There are other modular mice out there, but again, nothing with a sensor, battery life and switches that come close to matching the Naga Pro. Being able to switch between a 2-button FPS mouse, a 6-button MOBA mouse, or a 12-button MMO mouse means that you always have the best tool for the job.

Should I Buy One?

The value of this mouse can be found in every single aspect. It has a class-leading sensor, switches, and battery performance. You get multiple connectivity options too, so you can always play no matter what/where. However, the fully modular side panel means you’re getting three styles of gaming mouse in one package, making this exceptional value for money. It’s not cheap, but for a flagship wireless gaming mouse with this many features, it’s currently the most versatile and advanced mouse I’ve ever used. Highly recommended!
