Most of the Nagas received positive critical reviews, with Wes Fenlon of
PC Gamer, a video gaming magazine, listing the Naga Hex v2 as one of the best gaming mice, and Marshall Honorof of ''
Tom's Guide'' website listing the Naga Epic Chroma as 2016's best
MMO mouse. The original Razer Naga had a positive reception, although many pointed out the obvious targeting towards MMO gamers. Nicholas Deleon on the tech site
TechCrunch said the Naga is a good and comfortable mouse. He noted that it is not any better than using a keyboard, and how the usefulness of the mouse would depend on how much the user is willing to practice and learn how to use it. Ben Kuchera, of
Ars Technica called it a "niche product", stating the buttons were unappealing to people who did not play MMO games. The reviewers at
PC Magazine thought the Epic was expensive, but commended the mouse's attractiveness and wireless feature. Mathew McCurley of
Engadget commended the long-lasting battery and the wireless capability of the mouse and stated that "if you're interested in trying something new, give it a shot." Reviewers thought the Naga 2012 was a good mouse overall. Russell Holly of the technology site Geek.com said he would recommend it to anyone Daw believed that having seventeen buttons may have been overkill, but continued by saying that "a little bit of overkill is okay." Brian Westover of
PC Magazine said the hexagonal layout of the buttons made them easier to understand and use, but felt the placement of them was sub-par. Westover said that after using the mouse for long periods of time, the surface becomes "slick". The Naga 2014 received positive reviews, with many reviewers enjoying the comfort and the feel of the buttons. Nate Ralph of
PC World said the Naga 2014 has a more comfortable design compared to the previous versions. Matt Smith of
Digital Trends said the mouse was comfortable and the buttons felt robust. He noted that the button arrangement may "take some time to get used to". Rob Keyes of
GameRant said that when compared to the previous iterations, the Naga 2014 has better buttons and is more user-friendly. He recommended the mouse to people who liked the previous iterations and to people who wish to have better control in MMOs. Both the Naga Epic Chroma and the Naga Chroma were praised by reviewers. Marshall Honorof liked the quality and design of both mice. Honorof commended the wireless capabilities of the Naga Epic Chroma, along with the lighting and comfort. Marshall Honorof's biggest criticism of the mouse was that "most people won't need one", though he continued to say that for those who do, it would work exactly as expected. He said that at first, the button arrangement threw him off. Michael Crider of
Digital Trends said that once the user gets used to the button layout, the actions are "quick and responsive." Matthew Buzzi of
PC Magazine also believed that the user would like it if they play MOBAs, but if not, another mouse might be a better option. He also asserted that the Naga Hex v2 is reliable and well made. Kane Fulton from
TechRadar listed the Naga Hex v2 as one of the ten best gaming mice. Similar to historical Naga mice updates, the Naga X had mixed reviews from critics, mostly since it dropped one of the Naga Pro's defining characteristics, the swappable side plates. Mike Epstein from PCMag noted the dropping of the modular side panels, wireless charging, and tilting
scroll wheel as some downsides of the Naga X. However, reviewers at Setup.gg noted that the tradeoffs may be worth it for some gamers, particularly since dropping some of these features helped the Naga X reach the low 85-gram weight, which is light compared to competing MMO and MOBA gaming mice. ==Notes==
