Finally upgraded to RAZER NAGA V2 PRO Mouse (Unboxing & Review)

[@Ana-we5qd]

Thanks for the review! Does it have on board memory for the programmed buttons? Would you know, if it can be used on other laptops with saved programmed button functions, without need of installing the software on those other laptops?

[@NEON-Jai]

It has on board memory, you can save 5 profiles to it. This should allow you to use the mouse on other computers without installing the software. I haven’t tried it personally. Hopefully someone has and can confirm?

[@Ana-we5qd]

thank you @@NEON-Jai

[@Controcetica]

Thanks for your review! Felt really genuine, appreciate it a lot!

[@mohammad-zabih]

haha its funny how when im writing this i almost had exact same experiance !!! i used my Logitech G602 for almost 10 years !!! insane life time mate i know and i loved every single day of using it , till it actually died on me i mean not turning on , and then i order this Razer few days ago and waiting to have it hopefully tomorrow or next day :D hope it go a good run just like the logitech did for me

[@NEON-Jai]

So far the Naga has been good to me. I do wish Logitech continued making the G602 or a newer version, but well...

[@mohammad-zabih]

@@NEON-Jai actually they did with G604 which i also have but trust me it is not even close to 602 specially Software wise :S thats why i have no option but to move to razer

[@oscarjeong9438]

Original wired first ever Naga was one of the best mouse for me. And hope the V2 pro will be the same.

[@NEON-Jai]

I haven't sed the first wired one, but this one has been good for me.

[@thinktech2go]

You only need to buy the wireless puck for bottom of the mouse then you can use any QI charger. I have a cheap one that I place mouse on when I shut my pc down.

[@NEON-Jai]

That's pretty smart. The entire charger combo is way too expensive. 👍😉

[@kennedyvskali]

My deathadder v2 cable is pretty similar but non detachable. Typically premuim razor products seem to be very well made

[@NEON-Jai]

This was my first razer product and I’m really surprised by the quality, much higher than Logitech imo.

[@comprehensivecomparison]

okay about the scroll wheel thing, for some games you can actually set up your scroll wheel as a jump button, or an interact button, or any similar input that you want to spam like no tomorrow, i use bhop inputs for nearly every game i play sometimes even if bhopping isnt really viable i just like to be able to jump with the scroll wheel but that aside the scroll wheel actually is very helpful for repeating inputs like that and obviously just makes scrolling through menus generally a little bit better, scrolling through items or weapons feels nice as well especially with the customizability of the tension so you can go one weapon at a time or all the way across a hotbar, i found personally i like adaptive scrolling best out of the presets since flicking the scroll wheel down over and over again is substantially less cool and useful with higher resistance, but at the same time, i’d like to be able to scroll through hotbars and weapons etc, without having to swap to the wrong weapon and go back to the right one its also helpful for just avoiding accidentally rubbing over the scroll wheel and making an input since it starts with more resistance, if you frequently use scroll wheel inputs, this is actually a game changer

[@Valkaneer]

The 6 button set is nice, but then you lose the G11 and G12 602 buttons. I also have a G602 but the mouse keeps having a mind of its own and randomly loses track of itself. I think it's a software issue, but I can't figure out what it is that's doing it. So I'm starting to look for another mouse. I even swapped out the mouse with my Son's G602 and still has the same issue, so it's not the physical mouse, but something software or dongle related, some sort of interference. I don't know but I've basically had it with this issue and am starting to be willing to play what ever get it fixed. I use to use Razer, but I've never had a single Razer last more than 2 years. My Logitechs have lasted way longer, my old G9 I think it was called lasted me nearly 6-7 years.

[@jerryy538]

this is not really an issue because you can change your sensitivity in game. but using the 2.4 connector my mouse sensitivity is much slower on the same dpi. 800 dpi should be 800 dpi no matter how the mouse is connected I thought. but maybe not. currently i just was afk and my mouse goes into sleep mode to save the battery. I woke the mouse up but it didn't reconnect to my computer. So I had to swap to 2.4 connector then back to bluetooth and now it's suddenly connected again. 12 buttons is great for MC like games. games with 9 slot hotbars. you get used to them after pressing for the same item after a while. having extra ctrl alt or exit buttons on the mouse i find handy for not needing to find them with my other hand. or for fps games if you struggle to find your buttons with your left hand while moving it's handy to put them on your mouse. crouch,nade, punch. i also used to have a wired version of this mouse and the clicking was much more silent. the clicking on the wireless one is clearly louder though.

[@troybryantIII]

I've gone through so many mice. If Logitech software and razer could get together for this mouse it might be the perfect mouse for productivity. The side buttons work great. But yea the software is some what solid. When it works its great but it does just often drop or disconnect

[@NEON-Jai]

It’s been very consistent for me since the software updates. I don’t get disconnections. Only a small, like a second of delay when coming back from stand by occasionally. But overall, I’m happier with the Razer than the Logitech mice I had.

[@briangueringer3673]

Question. Im not clear on the battery issue. I know about the puck stuff. My question is does the battery that comes with it rechargeable? Or do I need to buy a certain battery or is the one it comes with plug and charge? Im coming over from console so this mouse stuff is new to me. Thanks.

[@NEON-Jai]

The battery that comes is rechargeable. You just charge it with the included usb cable if you don’t buy the wireless puck charger. 👍

[@briangueringer3673]

@@NEON-Jai Thanks!

[@alen7492]

You do need to spend more on this mouse if you want optical switches. Dont buy Naga v2 Hyperspeed because it has MECHANICAL and not optical switches.

[@NEON-Jai]

yeap, big price difference between the Hyperspeed and the Pro.

[@nikolailu]

many are having side buttons sticking problem (literally some people are having 5 times replacements to get a normal unit), do you have that as well?

[@NEON-Jai]

So far I had not had any hardware issues with this mouse. I only use the 6 buttons side plate and it's been solid. Aside from minor software issues at the beginning with auto profile switching, I have not had any issues. And that also got solved with updates quite a while back.

[@nikolailu]

@@NEON-Jai thank you, i think the problem is only on 12 button clipon, but it seems to be serious from what i gathered reading up on it, its immediate if you put on the 12 buton layout and in a couple of minutes you may notice some buttons getting a little stuck, if u test it please let me know

[@NEON-Jai]

@@nikolailu I would only recommend this mouse for those who must have 6 side buttons because there aren't many options. If you want something with 12 buttons, I would say give the Naga V2 Hyperspeed a try. No inter-changeable plates and much cheaper.

[@nikolailu]

@@NEON-Jai thank you, problem with Hyperspeed is only 1 profile, I been using chinese mmo mice for work for about 10 years, and on average I switch between 4 or so profiles dependent on work programs i use. Chinese ones seem to be quite good at multi button and multi profile functions, but general quality is not as good.

[@NEON-Jai]

@@nikolailu You have profile switching from the Razer app. I think that's a feature available for all their mice. It can switch based on app automatically or you can also assign a dedicated button to manually switch profiles.

[@billjuus2268]

Profiles don't auto switch if the software is open.

[@NEON-Jai]

I had that issue at the beginning. After Razer software update, auto profile switching now works about 90% of the time.

[@Ragernor]

Imagine this logitech mouse had some issues after 6 years of usage... while my razer mouses generally break after few months :D

[@NEON-Jai]

Ohh no, my Logitech died after 2 years just a few months over the warranty. I’ve been fixing and replacing the switches myself for over 6 years.

[@Ragernor]

@@NEON-Jai oh lets hope naga will last a bit longer ;P

[@PaulWinkle]

Can you turn off BT/Wireless and still use the mouse via cable? Or is it just a charging cable?

[@NEON-Jai]

No, the mouse doesn't work with just the cable alone. At least it didn't for me.

[@PaulWinkle]

@@NEON-Jai Strange someone else told me it does work with cable, but maybe he didnt turn off the bt/wireless

[@NEON-Jai]

@@PaulWinkle Ohh my bad. I checked again and it does work, I had the cable connected to a charger previously instead of the computer. LOL

[@PaulWinkle]

@@NEON-Jai wow cool thanx, important information for me, now I am assured

[@Nobody-hc1rw]

While i think the mouse is really cool and i might upgrade my naga from 8 years ago (still works :D i'm well over the max clicks) with the V2 pro, i must say that the negatives are a bit of a disappointment with a 170 bucks MSRP mouse :/

[@NEON-Jai]

I hope my v2 last half as many years your v1. The v2 is great when on a discount. I wouldn’t have bought it at msrp.

[@shadeofthenightttv3052]

for low battery light: the Razer Naga Pro dies have that. (i mean, it also has RGB light on the scrollwheel, which the V2 doesnt have) when the Naga Pro has low battery, the Razer Logo turns off, and the mourse wheel starts blinking red (i think its below 10% battery). but for me personally its not a big thing, cause i have a Razer battery indicator on my Streamdeck. so i am fine. for me it is a downer that the V2 has no light on the mouse wheel, but its understandable, thinking of how many tech must be in there for the adjustable scrollwheel tension and such. what sadened me on the Naga Pro: the 12 button sidepiece has light on the side buttons, while the 6 button sidepiece has no light. and it seems that the V2 has the same thing? :(

[@NEON-Jai]

After a few software updates. The logo now blinks when battery is slow. So that works for me. It doesn't look like the 12 button side plate has light on the keys. I ended up selling the extra side plates. I thought I would never use them. lol

[@shadeofthenightttv3052]

@@NEON-Jai well, I only ever used the 6 buttons on my Naga pro. But I still have the other side pieces. The V2 should arrive today, I am pretty hyped for the upgrade (except for the not-enlightened wheel, but you can't have everything)

[@NEON-Jai]

@@shadeofthenightttv3052 Congrats & enjoy the feeling of new tech!! I didn't use the V1 but I'm more than happy with the V2 Pro. It was expensive, but I still think it was well worth it. 👍👍

[@Fex.]

I'm using NAGA v2 Pro with the two button sidepanel since it fits perfectly for a smaller hand. It's wider but "shorter". There really aren't similar mice around. I loved my Logitech G900 I ran for years, but after changing to this (review unit), I haven't even thought moving back.

[@NEON-Jai]

I really like this mouse too. So much that I’m thinking to switch my Logitech keyboard to Razer as well.

[@agp2528]

I'm using Logitech G604 but it has double click issue so I want to replace it. I need mouse with 6 buttons on the side mainly because it's really convenience for browsing and programming.This mouse looks perfect except the price :(

[@NEON-Jai]

I waited until it was one sale and it was still expensive. But I had the double click issue with 3 Logitech mice that I just got tired. The Naga is rated at 90MM clicks vs Logitech using 20MM clicks. So I figured is the can last double or triple, it's worth it.

[@stevesutton772]

Man. If you only wanted 6 on the side maybe should have gotten MX Master 3s? Also if you get a razer KB you can do hyper shift and instantly switch what your side buttons do on like the Basalisk v3 pro.

[@NEON-Jai]

I looked at those and don't have the extra button I needed. So far I have no regrets with the Naga Pro.

[@stevesutton772]

@@NEON-Jai there's a thumb button, 2 side buttons, a 2 way scroll button. So that's 5. But if you hold the thumb button or the scroll button and go up down left or right it can so things like volume or swap tabs ect. Plus it will automatically switch for each app you are in. So in reality it has 15 things it can do PER APP other than click and scroll.

I'm still using this mouse since I made the video. For me, it's working with no issue and I like it quite a bit more than the Logitech I had. A couple of software and firmware updates also solved some of the initial issues I had.
