the corsair carbide air 540 high airflow cube case is great for air cooling or liquid cooling check the link in the video description to learn more now i've recommended this mouse any number of times this is the original razer naga it has 12 MMO buttons on the side the only criticism of which would be that they're kind of mushy and kind of hard to distinguish from each other it included little pads that you could put on them but i personally never even ended up applying them I didn't find they were that helpful and includes an ergonomic shape that I personally really really liked it also tracks like a dream and I'm done gushing about the Naga because there's the Naga razors really got to figure out their product naming scheme here because it can between this one and the Death Adder 2013 in Black Widow 2013 and the Death Adder was like how do you make you know how do you improve on perfection you don't change anything but then it did change things and then there was no reference to it being a 2013 edition anywhere on the blocks except for like one little like spot somewhere and so this is called the Razer Naga not to be confused with the Razer Naga they're taking the same approach it said it's funny it makes perfect sense because as a company that's all about you know gamers and gaming they've taken a page right out of game developers handbooks OH what should we call the new Tomb Raider let's call it Tomb Raider so anyway there you go that's my rant about that what has razer improved about the all-new Naga well they've done a couple of things that I think are a very big deal number one is they have changed these buttons on the side to be mechanical buttons so I want you guys to really hear the difference here I'm going to hold it up to my lav mic original Naga very mushy very membrane II new Naga very clicky very tactile really really like that they have also updated the ergonomics so gone are the two buttons right here which I never really liked anyway I had I rarely find myself in a situation where this is a comfortable movement for me those were the two buttons that I really had trouble reaching and they have instead put two buttons here these can be actuated with the middle finger which if you use a three fingers like this sort of orientation then at least there's that you can kind of reach I personally have trouble at this one I don't have very flexible hands but at least now I can reach one of them comfortably they've also added a tilt click scroll wheel so this and this are additional function so it now has a total of 19 buttons twelve on the side two on the top well one two three four on the top and then an additional two here giving you like I said well plus a middle click so that is a total of nineteen buttons they have implemented their low friction of quiet pads on the bottom which i think is kind of unique they have also updated the sensor so it now uses an 8200 dpi 4g laser sensor and check this out here we go here we go there we go there's the naming scheme this is the Razer Naga 2014 so they've gone with the car approach now where you actually buy next year's model in the previous calendar year and of that is the way it works which isn't to take anything away from the mouse itself one thing that's improved on the top is well that they didn't have in their kit but I can already feel is the grip enos of this top surface here instead of having a soft touch feel it has a very mild lightly textured feel that I find quite appealing and makes it less likely to slip they've also updated the color scheme whereas the old Naga was blue the new Naga is aligned with the latest Razer branding which is green so there you go all of the buttons on the side are illuminated the Razer logo is breathing by default although you can reconfigure that in synapse and the mouse wheel itself looks absolutely outstanding in green something else that they've done with these side buttons is they've changed the shape of them significantly so you can see the way that the older ones work you were expected to find the difference in them simply by feeling these bumps right here but other than that they're configured very similarly now they have changed them significantly so some of them are arced this way some of them are arced this way the middle Bank okay so you can I want you to see this from the side maybe we'll do some macro footage here but they're all angled really differently in such a way that you can really feel whether you're on pads 1 to 6 or pad 7 to 12 and then from there these ones the middle ones have ridges on them that you can really you can really feel they're kind of sharp along this edge this edge this edge and this edge allowing you to more easily figure out what button you're actually touching is it necessarily perfect the answer is probably no but I think it's difficult to put 12 buttons on the side of a mouse such that you're expecting anyone to be able to find them all in the heat of battle without any practice but once you have practiced I've heard people say even about the original Nagas that it's not that difficult now in terms of updated ergonomics you can see the mice look quite different the one complaint I heard about the original Nagas quite often was its really small which is great for me because my hands are small but there wasn't much room to rest your pinky and your ring finger on it that has been changed the Nagas 2014 has a much expanded pinky and ring finger rest and what I really like about the pinky here was there was nowhere to really rest it on the original Naga it was a glossy smooth surface they've added a rubber grippy serviced surface just like the Death Adder 2013 with the rubber grips on the side I think they're a huge improvement and I love it I don't necessarily need to put my pinky down on something but having a rubber grip is much more comfortable to me than trying to squeeze the mouse to have it to have my pinky stick to it particularly when you consider that on the other side of the mouse are a bunch of buttons so if I'm squeezing too hard here I'm going to accidentally press them speaking of which side of the mouse okay they didn't send me one so I'm having you look at the mouse but it's totally pointless razer has a left-handed version of now both of their most popular gaming mice the Death Adder as well as the Naga so that was a crowdsourced initiative kind of thing that razer did and i can tell you from a business perspective it makes no sense to go through the molding and tooling that is involved in releasing a left-handed Mouse when you consider how few of them sell remember I worked at a retailer before I know how many of them sell isn't very many but for you southpaw guys out there there you go razer was listening and they wanted to bring you a left-handed mouse so kudos to you I think that makes it the only left-handed MMO Mouse I don't believe any of them are and be dexterous because of the way that you have to lay out MMO buttons for them to be mostly accessible using the thumb which is the most the most flexible of the fingers that you're probably using for it software wise they've made some more improvements here as well so there's an animal configurator that actually overlays on the screen so you can use it to respec in the middle of a game without actually even all tabbing out and this one for me personally is actually cooler because I tend not to change around characters too much I play mostly single-player RPGs when I am playing an RPG such as Dragon Age or torchlight 2 and this is really neat so they take this grid of 12 and then they actually give you a screen overlay that you can set up different icons so you can see visually on the screen is an overlay what each of these is mapped to I think that's absolutely outstanding because a big problem for me with 12 buttons particularly when you're going from game to games what the devil did I have button seven bound to camera if you can't remember no big deal taking care of that with a screen overlay and I think that pretty much does it I liked the Naga hex with its six mechanical buttons and it felt like an improvement over the original Naga with 12 buttons well now they've taken those mechanical buttons and between the Naga hex and the Naga 2014 edition you should have something that you'll pretty much like the wider shape addresses the issue I think for people with larger hands although if you have baseball glove sized hands it might still not be the perfect Mouse for you but they've definitely improved the appeal and there you go what can you improve about something that's already awesome make it just a little bit more awesome thank you for checking out my unboxing and overview of the Razer Naga 2014 don't forget to subscribe don't forget to like this video if you enjoyed it and let me know what you think I mean just even looking at it you know seeing some of the some of the close-ups of my hand on it has razer improved the Naga by making it a bit of a wider stance more compatible with larger hands Mouse and adding the mechanical buttons or would you prefer to grab an original Naga now so you don't have to stop using it in the future thanks guys
