Razer's Naga series has always been a bit eye-catching. Slapping tens of buttons on a gaming mouse will naturally make it stand out in the looks department, but having owned two Nagas in my lifetime, I can see it only really takes an evening to get why people love 'em.
MMOs are notorious for demanding lots of shortcuts and macros, and it's just not feasible on most keyboards to reach over to the nine key every thirty seconds. When considering the hundreds of hours MMOs tend to eat up, that's an awful lot of stretching time. You can make do with custom controls, but MMO mice offer not only out-of-the-box usability, but specifically crafted ergonomics.
The Naga V3 Pro follows on pretty routinely from its predecessor with the exact same dimensions, but a lighter weight and different internals. As such, it's a pretty by-the-numbers upgrade and will fit at home in the palms of a Naga V2 Pro owner. But is it really worth $180 just to get a better sensor, cleaner clicks, and doubleshot moulded keycaps? The answer for anyone but the most hardcore (and well-off) MMO gamers is 'probably not, but it's pretty neat anyway'.
And still, I'd say it's the nicest MMO mouse I've ever used. Thanks to the addition of a love-it-or-hate-it switch sound (I personally quite dislike the noise), it's not the best in every single compartment, but taking it for a spin in all manner of games shows it's no slouch in even non-MMO use cases, and for its price, it's gotta be.
✅ You play lots of MMOs, but not all the time: Thanks to easy-to-use and well-built faceplates, this functions well as an everyday mouse too
❌ You have a Naga V2 Pro: Though it's certainly an upgrade, it's a relatively straightforward one, and not something I'd pay $200 for.
With updates to its switches and sensor, the Razer Naga V3 Pro is a pretty straightforward upgrade on the Naga V2 Pro, and just as pricey.
