I use 13 buttons for fps games, I love having every weapon on a key
Awesome, been looking for this answer. Thank you!
I do this in noita for spells/items :)
what do you play?
Then what's the point of the keyboard

Excellent review. It answered all my questions, especially about the different connectivity options.
On the dot. Let's go!!! I've been looking forward to this mouse since the Viper came out!
I've been using the Razer Naga Epic since 2011 and the orginal Naga before that. I haven't wanted to make any upgrades since then because I would be losing features. Either I'd be giving up the 12 button side or I'd be giving up the dual mode wired/wireless. This is the first real option for me in 10 years and I'm looking forward to taking that jump and spending the money for this.
Thanks for this review. I really appreciated the sound test: it seems a bit on the loud side, so would you still advise it in a productivity environment where everything would be close to silent apart from the mouse click? Now, tough question: I know this is compatible with macOS but synapse isn’t. There’s a utility out there for Mac users but I wonder: how do the different side-buttons map natively on Mac? I used to have the Naga Molten edition back in the days and it had a switch to map between top row numbers or numpad. Thank you very much
Thank you for the comment about lefties at the end! I will check out the Naga lefty option. Though I am right-handed, I have been using a mouse left handed for last 15+ years to reduce repetitive strain load on my right arm. PC gaming is a bad habit to have for your arm's health if you're coding and typing all day!
I own the g604 and already use a few binds on the side. I think for me the 12 button layout on the Naga pro might just be what I am looking for to balance my build binds and other binds I may need in a pinch like crouch. Also the G4 and G7 side buttons are kinda hard to reach on the G604.
i have the naga trinity and this new naga pro is insane
The wired version was my all time fav mouse. Finally they have a wireless version now!!!!
Brilliant review on the Razer Naga Pro, after watching your review I decided to buy myself one which I will be collecting tomorrow from Argos! Merry Christmas 🎅🏻 🎄😊
Hi, do you know if the weight changes with different side panels?
I hold myself from buying naga trinity cause it still wired connection. So i buy basilisk ultimite, which arrive 2 days ago.. and now this badass came out, damn it 😤
If it makes you feel any better, I bought a full price copy of mirror's edge from the Xbox store only for it to go free about a week later
I got the trinity and it was unimpresive to say the least I have the naga pro and its so much better the updated feet make it slide like butter and with a lazer mouse clicks there will never be a double click again
@@darkfox2401 My Naga Trinity just got the dread double click on the right mouse button. I'm so upset...really makes it hard to play competitive games. I've read horror stories of most Razer mice getting click issues. I'm tempted to get the Naga Pro...but so worried that the clicks will be an issue later on.
@@adamm784 my trinity naga just got the double click as well did you end up buying the naga pro
@@Sgtbabyshambles I did yeah. So far no issues. It feels really great too. It's a touch bigger than trinity, my hands are like mediumish large so it's perfect. Because it's optical triggers I'm assuming there shouldn't be an issue with left or right click..there is no physical contact. It's really pricey but once you get it you won't regret it. I got it during the deal they had with the charge base, not sure if it's still going on. It looks slick in its charging dock.
Can you use this mouse with a cord/wire instead of wireless? and does it come with the mouse? Great review thanks!
It's in the mail brother can't wait!
something not mentioned by razer minus on reddit is the fact the naga pro has the updated optical switches that are supposedly more clicky due to mush complaints as well as much less pre and post travel.
Can the hex plate from the last Naga be used with this new one?
It looks perfect for what I want, but I'm not sure I can bring myself to pay £150 for it. I feel like it should come with the charging dock as well at that price.
best buy has it for 100 til the 4th
i loved my regular naga but the double click issues showed its face one year later. not sure how long this one would last. wheel felt super cheap too..
Great review, thanks!
could you make a video showing thumb teaching every side button on the 3 side panels with hand realistically holding mouse please? i suspect not all the keys on both 6 buttons or 12 buttons side panels are easy comfortable to reach ? thanks in advance
$150 WITHOUT the wireless charging dock. Imagine.
Razer is THE most ridiculous gaming brand out there.
Tbh I use the 6 button for an fps so I don't have to worry about reaching for the numbers for like my score streaks on cod or something like that
How much bigger is it than the Viper Ultimate? I was thinking of getting the basilisk ultimate simply because the Viper is to small for my hands. I need something more the size of the basilisk. I don't care about weight. I actually feel the heavier the more accurate I am.
1:40 - This sets it aside from other "gaming" mice. That tilt & programmable scroll wheel makes a huge difference in either gaming or day-to-day use. Personal pref, I wouldn't even consider buying a "gaming" mouse without a programmable tilt-wheel in 2021+.
I'd love to find the 6 button side plate....I can't find a replacement for sale anywhere
Mmh I was about to buy the Viper Ultimate.. Then I saw this video. Does this mouse have all the qualities of the Viper Ultimate? All these buttons interest me a lot for mmo.
Does the 12 side buttons, clicks feels lime the old Naga Razer mouse? Or same as the cheap buttons like Razer Trinity Mouse?
Really wish they would have done so that the right side of the mouse could be switched out too, with a normal "flat" side, then it would have been amazing.
like the very old Naga i still use. it had 3 right side panels and i use the middle one
are those dip button easy to press? they are recessed compare to the naga trinity or the 2014 version where the side of my fingers can press on them so I don't even have to move my index fingers too much to go forward or backward while browsing websites.
When does this come out
Looks like you can get the mouse and the charging dock now on their website for $20 more.
With code NAGAPRODOCK, for anyone who didn't get the email about it. Otherwise the dock is $50 more.
@@Akires23 doesnt work as of right now
@@Akires23 false, doesn't work
@@goofgoobernicus Strange. I just went to this mouse's page on the Razer website and it had this when I scrolled down just a bit - "Get an exclusive bundle price of US$169.99 for the Razer Naga Pro and the Razer Mouse Dock Chroma when you use code NAGADOCK at checkout. "
@@sethh3048 I would check if you are right or not but i don't really care enough so, thanks for the info!
The new laptop I'm getting lacks a numpad, could I use the Naga's buttons in place of one?
Still waiting on a customizable mouse with the deathadder shape
Hey there! Thanks for sharing this review. I was considering getting the Razer Naga Pro, and this video seems quite promising. Can you tell me more about its performance in MMO games?
Been using nagas since their first one, I love them sadly my trinity just died so pro is my go now.
This seems like a great work mouse. I'm going to need to try this in person. I've been thorough a lot of mice trying out which feels best for me and so far it is asymmetrical mice. The deathadder V2 and the model D are my favorite mice now. I like their shapes followed by how lightweight they are. This will be on the heavy side. Hopefully I'll like it more than the Mamba wireless because I didn't like that. The dav2 and the model d are the first mice I've used that just felt right.
If the deathadder is comfy for you, you will hate the trinity. I have used it extensively for work and it's extremely uncomfortably. I found the death adder v2 sooo comfy though!
@@Evikeuklavier thanks Brian. I'm getting the DA V2 pro. I'm using the Model D and the Model O for gaming
@@kayseeday I am looking into that one too :)
@@Evikeuklavier yeah my hopes were that Glorious was going to release a wireless model D as that shape and scroll wheel is amazing, but looking at the release cycle it seems that a wireless model d will be out next year. They still have to release the models I and N
Apart from it’s not. Unless you always use it by plugging it in. There is no way to turn off the automatic sleep mode. Maximum time before it goes to sleep is 15 minutes. Once it goes to sleep, it takes forever to wake up and most time it never wakes up. I went to disconnect it and re-pair it every time when it happens and won’t bother to wait for it to wake up. Most unpractical mouse ever existed.
the 12 buttons are great for games like doom eternal weapon wheel fallout 4 favorite options I have the classic edition
the side buttons has optical switch ?
Got Naga, its good but sometimes it doesnt connect when u hit The side Buttons. U need to take off The side and put it back again, then it connect and Buttons works again. This can happen 2-3 Times a month.
so i bought the trinity mouse and it felt awful to hold with it's textured plastic and the buttons on the side wasn't great either and i was not a fan of how loud the clicking noise was, atm i have a corsair scimitar and it's not that much better as the scrollwheel is fucked and it sometimes double clicks but otherwise it's a good mouse edit, the trinity was also made noise when moving it around compared to my corsair which is silent
can you use the charging dock from the epic naga?
you can buy the charging dock separately on their website
Do you need to plug in dongle for bluetooth connection?
what handsize do you got?
Next video! razer naga pro vs viper ultimate, Im torn between these two, I only wish they came in white..
Viper Ultimate comes in white now.
awesome!! Petyr Baelish now doing tech reviews ~ +1 sub! kidding aside, great review! this is what I need before buying :D too bad Razer didnt maintain the front grill design and less RGB for now
Is there a third primary button
Does it have double clicking? And if it does... is it good?
117g still lighter than razer Naga chroma 135g and lighter than naga epic :D this is good i have both now i use them on my computers. i was waiting to have a naga with better sensor like this "finally"
Does this work with the Naga Epic Chroma dock?
Why don't the 6 button plate light up! like 12 button plate. I find this a flaw. And actually bought it for the 6 plate option. but if that's not to light up. will be sending back for a Trinity.
Does it have the same accidental doubleclicking / unclicking issues as the Naga Trinity had ?
I think no
Hello there. I just bought a Naga Pro but side buttons are not giving light. I tried reinstalling Synapse software, changing side panels, cleaning button contacts etc. Nothing worked. Buttons are working fine but they just won't give any light as they do in this video. Can you give some suggestions please?
Inventory slots?
What is the different between this and razed nage epic chroma
For MMOs and MOBAs this shit took me to a whole new level. In WoW I like to change the action bars so theyre in a 3x4 row so that it perfectly matches the buttons on the mouse.
Mouse scroll stopped working today on my Naga Pro and i feel they have done it on purpose. It's outside warranty so I cant RMA. I took it apart (i work in I.T) and completely cleaned / reseated all the cables. Everything functions as expected APART FROM THE SCROLL WHEEL JUST NOT WORKING. I can click down on the mouse wheel, works fine. The two buttons by moving the mousewheel itself left or right also works fine. I genuinely feel this is a ploy to get consumers to purchase a new mouse. I can't even order a replacement mouse wheel or the mouse wheel cable. This mouse cost $300 where I live so you'd think it can last longer than 1.5 years. Can anyone offer advice? Thanks
i need this!
I have Naga Trinity.. can I just buy that new sideplate?
Do you guys think they'll release grip tape for the Naga Pro? I'd almost want to wait to get it with tape to keep it clean and sleek
They added grip tape for it recently
I just looked it up on Razer.com
@@robertlozier4915 I'm digging around but not seeing it - just all the other tapes. Hit me with a link when you get a chance?
Does the the infamous double click issue exists on this Naga?
Do you know anything about the razer naga lhe
Just ordered myself one, because my original Naga Trinity (Wired) sounds like it's on its last legs. Probably going to send it for RMA.
How long did your trinity last bro?
@@christianjunetubera665 It's still fine, albeit one year. it radomly double clicks (Left) which can be annoying when playing FPS Games or off clicking @ NPC when playing FFXIV.
@@mr.kermit3761 thanks for your reply. ah yeah you can send it for RMA. I think it has 2-year warranty.
was hoping it was going to be lighter than the trinity.
The video: Flawless The mouse: I am using the wired version and it's the best mouse in history. I am amazed however, that they don't offer the dock ...
how is this mouse with smaller hands?
I recently bought a razer naga pro, the battery keeps me about 15h under 50% light, is that normal?
is that the siren?
So Razer Naga Pro or Logitech G502 ?
wish it had a 3rd button like g600, g-shift
I need extra buttons because I'm a UI designer any good mice for UI design with extra buttons I can set to the ctrl, shift, alt, ctrl+c, ctrl+v, ctrl+d, delete
sry for maybe a stupid question but when you say you can still play while charging do you mean you can still remain wireless? I assume I need to plug the cable into the mouse. You showed the usb dongle when mentioning this and I thought the dongle was only to exten range, correct?
A very late response but just in-case it's of use to your or others; using standard bluetooth is significantly slower than using the provided dongle. This is often true with any mouse, however for this specific mouse the data transfer delays are as follow. Wired 3.0 ms Included Receiver 3.5 ms Bluetooth 11.9 ms As we are down to very low micro second figures, the delays won't be humanly perceptible. However, across all hardware the delays do begin to build up without even considering potential multiplayer server traffic ping delays. With all these delays reductions combined, you'll begin to feel the difference. With just the one devices improved data speeds, though not perceptible, you will in fact be marginally more responsive.
@@HRHNeil yeah thanks for the reply. I've ended up just using wired. Everything points to using wired is better. Thanks Legend
I have a question When wired, can you control your bios with this mouse?
Yes, and you can also you it wirelessly in the BIOS too. (At least for me)
I can control my bios with one of those 2-1 wireless keyboard+mousepads from logitech, I was also able to control my bios with a $1 keyboard from frys. I'm convinced anything can control the bios
All is good but can't understand why there is no pice (Hex2) like the previous one model...
Yeah I love my Hex V2, tried the Trinity and it was worse.
@@CRANEREVIEWS Same, the Naga Pro looks amazing, but i think if there is included (Hex2) panel will be the the very best :)) I have Naga Hex2 and my scorll is fuked, but still i using it because of the panel.
Why wouldn't they let you put the plates on the left side as well for left handed gamers :(
The Naga Pro does get mentioned as one of the best gaming mice even in 2023. Personally I skipped over it because I am not a fan of wireless mice. Batteries add weight and the chance of the battery dying mid game would only bring me frustration and aggravation. So I went with the wired version of this mouse, the Razer Naga Trinity. It comes with the same 2 button and 12 button side plates but instead of the 6 button setup the Naga pro has, the Trinity comes with a 7 button ring plate. Its that setup that I am most looking forward to because it would place 7 buttons equidistant from my thumb. I wish the Naga pro kept that design, it seems the most useful to me.
You could keep the mouse plugged in and never use the wireless.
I already have both the G Hub (for keyboard) and Armoury Crate (motherboard) on my computer already, so I don't feel like installing ANOTHER app just for the mouse, but holy shit is this one really tempting me...
I have a Naga Epic Chroma and its a mess of a mouse. Its unreliable and buggy causing the cursor to jump all over my screen after about an hour of use. And now its dead(probably the battery). Even before it died i had reverted back to my far far superior Logitech MX Master(2015). And its till going strong. After some months (possibly) of using this mouse, has it become an unbearable mess like the Naga Epic Chroma(which there are a few of "Fix this problem with your naga" videos on youtube)? Has there been any glitch's, or things of concern? Did you buy this yourself or did you get send a golden sample form Razer? All those features are great, but only if they last. I'm using a 6 year old mouse that lasts for weeks (maybe even months) still on a single charge while my Naga is dead. If Logitech ever made anything similar(but only the 12 buttons) i would gladly pay the asking price (unless its like $200, then i'd wait for a good sale, my mamma didn't raise no fool!). But i really miss the 12 macros and side click mouse wheel!! i had the slide clicks mapped to jump left and right through my tabs in my browser!
the 6 buttons is what i need
150$? I bought it’s for 96.66$ did it decrease in price as time passes?
The wireless 12 side buttons really appeals, but does RAZER SYNAPSE 2 still lag a few seconds when switching between apps? I switched to Corsair Scimitar Pro because of this issue.
@mick Hey I am planning to buy this one mainly productivity purpose so I can skip those shortcuts in diff apps which usually needs many keystrokes i.e Ctrl + Shift, Alt + Tab in diff app environments + desktop windows explorer scenarios. Will it do these kind of tasks and will switch to automatically those shortcuts or I have set or define for each app? Suggestions feedback will be highly helpful, Thanks!
@@jojeemad8374 it'll do those simple macros with ease. From memory, the only thing not available was programming the "scrolling actions" on the scroll wheels. My main issue was the Razer Synapse's delay in switching profiles when I switched between apps. It was so annoying.. but from more research, there maybe a way around that.
@@jojeemad8374 To confirm your question, the answer is yes.. with ease.
@@MickRatanapanyo Thanks dear for detail reply One more thing how many profiles can I make and do these profiles are set to be app specific and switch automatically ? And what kind of delay? And Is Corsair mouse much better for these tasks?
@@MickRatanapanyo means we cannot set shortcuts / macros ko scroll wheel itself and its button specially those tilting the wheel left or right would be nice to set them for swiping left right or switching tabs im browser.
please compare it against the basilisk ultimate! i'm getting a new mouse soon and i'm hoping to get either one of them...
SAME
If you want a light weight mouse that feels good you should go for the razer viper ultimate
I just got it 2 days ago and it is amazing
naga is amazing, i’ve been using the naga chroma for years now. it’s so good
Get the Basilisk ultimate. I personally think its way better and plus who needs 20 programmable buttons!?.
Would be so awesome for a lefty version of this. I don't want a wired mouse.
Try the g pro x mouse or g pro x superlight or the DeathAdder v2 pro or Viper ultimate. Best ambidextrous mice for their company and value. I recommend the g pro wireless, but up to you. Tho this is a late reply, hope this helps!
@@rounakrai8187 Hi man. I appreciate the comment! I'm not really looking for an ambidextrous mouse though. That's kind of what us lefties have to settle for unfortunately. We never get something like this made for a leftie. Fans had to beg razrer just to bring back the wired version.
@@EnE85 Ohhh I understand what you're saying now. Yeah, they really should! That would increase sales a decent amount and especially people would be delighted to see that companies are expanding their horizons and are going out of their comfort zone to help people. Sorry that I don't know any mouse that has a left-handed design :(
mirco USB at the end of 2020, who decided that Razer?
The boss of cos
its a wireless mouse who cares what the cable is your not using it anyway
@@truthtimetv4575 anyone who wants to charge it Einstein. Unless they strapped a fission reactor on this mouse.
Dammika Jayasekera forgot the peasants don’t have a base to use from their viper ult or basilisk ult. My bad 😂
@@truthtimetv4575 You guys brought out the edge lord. Lmao what a fuckin dork.
Does anyone know if the scroll wheel has the clutch which allows it to scroll smoothly without any friction? Because if not, that's a deal breaker for me. It's so handy, all modern mice should be equipped with it. Especially if it costs $150
did you ever find out it it has hyperscrolling?
@@MangaMark it doesn't :/
Hmm not the Ultimate though...
Really wish this one came in Mercury

Does it come with all the swapable side panels?
Yes
Question about the Naga Pro, can you sync it with one computer via Bluetooth and a second computer via their 2.4ghz wireless and swap between using them by switching the mouse between modes?
Yes
150 bucks in 2020 with no wireless charging and no USB type C? That's a deal breaker for me.
Who knew one mouse could be 3 fancy 🎉
BEST EVER!
does it lag when switching app profiles, like the Razer Naga Trinity did? It drove me up the fucking wall.
Wait so how do you charge it if it doesn’t come with a dock?
probably comes with a type c charging cable.. but the dock also just released, i ordered both, so you're looking at 200$ for both.
Jay Waldon ahhh ok thank you
These are my favourite mice. However I've owned 3 different ones and they all break eventually, the button will eventually stop working (sometimes) or start double pressing. Really unfortunate for what is otherwise a phenomenal product.
How bout a side plate with 9 buttons, now there's an idea!!! Then there wouldn't be a 4th rear row to get confused about! It would then truly cater to EVERY genre ;)
Tiene botones laterales?
En la rueda
I want it
