Razer SW:TOR Edition Wireless Gaming Mouse Review

The mouse is based on the Naga model, with a similar button layout and designed for a right-handed user. The overall style conforms with the rest of the product range, with a off white colouring, angular lines and black buttons and faction logo.

The left side of the mouse where the thumb normally presides, is covered with 12 buttons. Typically these represent the numbers 1 through 0 and the – and = buttons, which fits in perfectly the hotkeys in SW:TOR.

The front of the mouse has the usual left and right click, with the scroll wheel in the centre. You can see the large gap at the bottom of the front – this is where the cable connects to the mouse when using it in wired/charging mode.

The right side of the mouse is relatively plain considering the style of the mouse, but there is more than meets the eye – we’ll explore this later.

As with the Naga, the SW:TOR version is a similar shape, albeit much more angular which ties in with the SW:TOR theme. It could be possible for southpaw to use this mouse, as it is not overly ergonomic, although, the benefits of the additional buttons will go missed.

On the bottom of the mouse there are two switches which control what mode you have it in (wired or wireless) and what functions the 12 numbered buttons have. This is either numbered 1 through 0 (with – and +) or follows the number pad on your keyboard, so makes use of the home, end page up/down buttons. The laser sensor in the middle has a max DPI of  a staggering 5600 DPI, which is more than enough for most players. Just below that is the contact point for the mouse to sit in the dock and charge, and below that still is a hexagonal button that pairs the mouse with the wireless transmitter.

The faction emblems on the back of the mouse can be swapped out. A nice feature albeit a little pointless for the average SW:TOR player – although not for the hardest of hardcore Star Wars fans out there.

Earlier we mentioned the relatively plain right side to the mouse, this in fact hides where the battery is kept. This easily pulls open, revealing the slot for the batter, which is held in with a small clip.

As the mouse is wireless, it requires a wireless transmitter. This is housed in the dock for the mouse which also charges the battery when the mouse is docked. Again, this is styled like the rest of the mouse in an appropriate Star Wars theme.

The mouse simply fits on top of the dock allowing you to charge the battery when not in use.

When connected up to the PC the mouse lights up yellow, with a slow pulsing effect on the rear emblem.
