RAZER Naga Epic RZ01-00510100-R3U1 Black 17 Buttons 1 x Wheel USB Wired / Wireless dual mode Laser 5600 dpi Gaming Mouse

Pros: Good looking mouse and does what I need it to do.

Cons: Right click is dead after 6 months. I have four gaming computers for my family. We play WoW together. This my 5th Razer while my R.A.T and Logitech still work after years on service. Three of the five Razer had problems or went dead after several months.

Razer Customer Satisfaction

Pros: I am extremely thrilled with this mouse. I don't how I could play WOW without it. I find it reliable and sensitive to touch. It is very attractive and have had many positive comments about the appearance.

I cannot say enough positive about this mouse. One of the best PC accessory I have ever purchased.

Thank You,

Bob LeRay

Cons: If I were king I would add at least another row of buttons (two would be even better). I am running out of buttons to put my macros.

Pros: Excellent feel and customization for this mouse. Love the colors and color cycling. Good concepts for the wired/wireless operations.

Cons: This mouse has the 'capability' to be so much more.

I am VERY careful with all my technology and would consider my usage as fairly soft but this mouse has never been reliable. From the beginning the wireless has always 'dropped out' intermittently so I generally have to use it wired. But even wired, the mouse will go away, usually in a raid or other 'intense' fight (Rift) and nothing will bring it back except unplugging it and waiting for the Windows 7 'chime' and then plugging it back in and everything is fine. I'd blame the system/software except that if I use my inexpensive Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse, it never drops out until the battery goes low at the end of a three month usage. Of course, at that point the mouse was blinking the red led at me for weeks.

How intermittent is this mouse's failure? I'd say it goes away anywhere from a couple days to weeks. It's so intermittent that I still, after nearly two years, have it hooked up as my primary mouse and just deal with the mouse resetting.

Other Thoughts: You'd think that paying for a premium mouse would get you a better experience than this one. I did not take up the return process because I thought that it was me, my system or the software and while I can 'deal' with needing to 'reset' the mouse, I have to wonder, why? As I said above, after over a year of usage and experimentation, I know it's something in the mouse that makes it 'disappear' and need to be unplugged, wait, replugged to function normally. I cannot, in good conscious, recommend this product for someone who needs the device to function reliably.

Pros: Well this is a pretty good mouse. It fits in my hand perfectly.

Cons: LEDs went out after 3 months but everything else works.

Other Thoughts: Looks cool. DO NOT BUY THIS MOUSE IF YOU DON'T NEED WIRELESS. I suggest just getting the normal razer naga

Pros: it worked for the first month

Cons: i did work but it did disconect all the time
no it doesnt even work outside of wired and charging

Other Thoughts: If you want to get a naga get any of the other ones. This is just a waste of money

Razer Customer Satisfaction

Pros: Stable mouse, great button positioning, strong, long braided cord, cool lighting feature that matches my Razer Black Widow keyboard and desktop LEDs perfectly.

Cons: After about 2 years of ownership, I'm having the double click issue. But as much as I've banged it around and such, it's to be expected. Took a while to learn to use it perfectly and get used to buttons, but after a couple weeks at tops I'd say, for most people, it's awesome now. The software isn't great, but I didn't intend to use it anyway. No right or left tilt on scroll wheel.

Pros: good response time - buttons are easily accessable

Cons: the only reason i rated 4 and not 5 is that it seems to lag a bit, not respond as quickly all the time after having had it nearly a year - i go through mice, so its to be expected - definately wouldnt recommend against this mouse because of it

Pros: When buying the Epic over the normal Naga, you're paying extra for the sheer amount of preferential depth the Epic offers--which, imo, is extremely satsifying. As a claw-grip user, having the option to change the side grip of the mouse to my specific preference is invaluable. After a month of using the mouse, I have to admit that (along with the rubberized top) the entire form is the most comfortable mouse I've ever used. To be able to go between wireless and wired is quite nice if you're a desktop-user and your tower is further away from your mousing area, and even better when you're a laptop-user and prefer hooking up to a larger screen via hdmi with a wireless keyboard. And, of course, the programmable keys w/ macros really takes your games to a different level. Nowadays I mostly play League of Legends, and though the Naga Hex is more geared towards the MOBA genre, having six more buttons than the Hex is actually quite convenient when you have other commands or preferences that usually require multiple button inputs (I have the 8 key programmed to activate Singed's Invisible Poison... and his laugh, at the same time >:P). Finally, the lighting of the mouse, whether spectrum or your own desired color, is definitely a nice bonus to an already great piece of hardware, and is always impressing my friends, gamers or not.

Cons: Software is meh. Razer definitely doesn't skimp on hardware quality, but the software leaves something to be desired. Changing the settings on your mouse via Synapse 2.0 is easy enough, but you'll experience your fair share of hiccups along the way. Nothing game-breaking, usually just gotta wait an extra minute or two longer than intended for some changes to fully process when customizing.

Pros: good mouse very smooth pull

Cons: the drivers wont sink with the mouse so I cant change color or customize it

Pros: Great mouse that has extra buttons, once I started using the mouse I knew I was never going back.

Cons: After about 8 months of using the mouse it started to double click while I was doing single clicks. It has only gotten worse over the next several months and it is at the point where I need to replace it. If you are getting this mouse, it is a great item but be sure to get the extended warranty.

Other Thoughts: This is the second line of Razer mice (last one was a Lachesis) that has had this double click problem for me. As I stated in the pros, I do need this mouse as it is the only one that feels comfortable to me, I just wish it was more reliable.
