"I absolutely love it. ... Have used one since like 2016 and I can’t play any game without it even non MMOs."
"I personally have been using a razer naga for 15 years now"
"My OG Naga lasted like 4-5 years ... If you can get your hands on a new original Razer Naga they're the best, current generations went down in quality like crazy."

"can ’t seem to find another that fit as good"
"I use them entirely because they feel extremely good in my hand ... whereas the competitors like the corsair and logitech just don't feel right."
"It feels so much better in my hand."

"I won’t even consider playing a MMO without it. ... With shift and ctrl modifiers I can bind far more skills/abilities/consumables/etc than I would ever actually use."
"Only the Naga let's me assign shift to one of the middle row buttons, then easily roll my thumb left and right to get shift4 or shift6 from just my thumb."
"With the Naga I map the center button on the bottom row to shift. ... And with that I can roll my thumb up, left, or right and get another three keybinds. ... And just having shift there also lets me press that for shift, instead of my left pinky. One less thing for my left hand to do. Makes Shift+4 while moving and jumping easier. ... This gives me ready, instant access to the entire hotbar. And with shift, an entire second hotbar (excepting shift+7 and shift+9)."

"i agree wholeheartedly."
"The mouse came with 2-button, 7-button, and 12-button options. ... Moving up to the 7-button version made a huge difference and gave me so much more freedom to play."
"Side buttons variations for 14 buttons, 2 buttons or none depending on your gaming needs"

"After 7-ish, double clicking Nagas"
"The only problem is the scroll wheel always breaks after about 6 months and becomes useless. My 5th Naga just broke with exactly the same problem, and I'm very reluctant to buy another. ... Mine does the same but it's really bad, you can't control where you scroll at all. ... When things get intense in PvP I definitely grip and press the buttons harder than I need to, but I honestly can't help it. The only thing that can't take the punishment seems to be the scroll wheel. Either the click stops registering properly or the scrolling breaks. ... It doesn't always break in exactly the same way, sometimes the click stops registering properly and it either doesn't work or will start double clicking, sometimes the scrolling stops working and starts rubber banding back and forth erratically no matter which way I spin. ... I've been living with the issue for well over a year. ... I definitely think part of it is a me problem, but it happens to enough people that I think the components are just very cheap too and can't take the punishment. From the research I've done today, Razer aren't well known for their longevity that's for sure."

"Or the Razer Naga that is 122g ... I've used all of them and the weight savings on the Aerox helped me no longer get any kind of wrist discomfort after days of longer gaming sessions."
"wanted a more FPS friendly gaming mouse ... Mice as big as the Razer Naga, but lighter ... I still use my Naga for mmorpgs and I switch to the Pulsar for every other game."
"only wish the naga on its own was lighter"

"they broke so damn fast"
"having to buy a new "gaming mouse" every year cause their shit breaks constantly. ... another one of my Razer mice broke, i think the Naga ... the Naga i bought from Razer before i realized im wasting shitloads of money on that brand. ... Their base Logitech G305 has outlasted the 2 Deathadders, the Copperhead and the Naga i bought from Razer"

"All of the MMO mice I’ve tried have terrible scroll wheel sensors that don’t last me more than a year or 2. ... Even the naga and aerox… thankfully I was able to get replacements for both under warranty."

"learned you CAN actually have TOO many buttons. ... Took some pliers and actually snapped off 7_12 because I kept misclicking, so hard to differentiate between rows."
"Naga is too many small buttons for my fat greasy fingers."
"Naga's side buttons feel the best - very snappy, but its shape causes me to misclick at times."
There's not that many that exist, your options for ones you can reasonably find are: * Razer naga * Corsair scimitar * Steelseries aerox 9 * Red dragon m908 All of these are mediocre mice with large QC issues and whether or not you get one that lasts 5 months or 5 years is complete RNG. You're going to have a bunch of people pop up and say things like "I've used the X for Y years and its the best!" and its some bullshit, they won the lottery that their mouse didn't arrive defective or shit the bed after some short amount of time. There used to be the logitech g600 which was both cheaper than 3 of those 4 mice while also being just as good if not better quality... not by much though... but they discontinued it. You can find them used but they're mostly overpriced and yknow.. used mice are pretty gross. They all have minor differences, pick whichever one suits you at whatever price point you're ok with paying every year or two and pull the trigger. The razer and steelseries are the most overpriced, the scimitar isn't as bad price wise, the red dragon can be bought right now on sale for 22$ and is normally like 32$. Red dragons a budget brand though so don't expect the world.
r/wow • Best mouse for WoW with side buttons? ->There's really only 4 from well known brands at this point, all of which are overpriced for what they are and have pretty terrible QC. * Corsair scimitar: This things known for having issues with the plastic that actuates the left right click being too soft so it ends up indenting and then stops working. Scroll wheel also has tons of issues. * Razer naga: Razer is infamous for their horrible QC / quality at this point while often being the most expensive due to riding the name the company made for itself back when it was decent. * Steelseries aerox 9: This ones the only one that is designed to be light weight but its overpriced, the side buttons are crap and often have issues along with the scroll wheel. * Red dragon I forget the number: Its a red dragon so yknow, you get what you pay for, but at least its cheap! Another option is getting the "logicool g600" which is the japanese (iirc) version of the logitech g600 which is no longer sold in the west... but this would probably be a bad option for you as its probably the chunkiest and heaviest of the bunch. The rest are all similarly sized and shaped and none meet all your criteria. The smallest / lightest is the aerox 9 but its also one of the most expensive only beat by razer. Red dragons the cheapest followed by corsair.
r/wow • MMO Mouse for small hands ->Think that was right around the time their QC started plummeting. My original naga lasted me 6 years, then made the mistake of getting 2 newer ones that failed in months.

r/pcmasterrace • Daily driver for 12 years and started double clicking randomly, RIP ->I've had so many Nagas. Hands down my favorite mouse, but every single one has done the double click thing after like a year or so. If they were to bring back the original design I'd buy like 5 of them.

r/pcmasterrace • Daily driver for 12 years and started double clicking randomly, RIP ->Razer naga was my go to years ago but only had 6 buttons. Bought one of the newer ones and my fingers are too fat because there’s more buttons so a lot of times I hit the wrong button lol
r/wow • What MMO mouse would you Recommend for WoW? ->What's your hand size? I'm a ecuba diver and get custom made gloves or XXXXL+ shipped if they have stock but sent it back multiple times. I also have 6 mice in front of me right now and another 5 or so in another country I live in, I've gone through a couple dozen mice in my life from $50 to $250, none of them are truly comfortable but if anything the Razer Naga showed me what I should be looking for. The original razer Naga, not the trinity, pro, or v2, all of those change the left buttons but the original changed to different grip positions.
r/pcmasterrace • Help for a mouse that fits my hand ->I've tried so many others but nothing beats the OG Razer Naga. I own multiple because of switches or something eventually failing because they're so old. I even tried Razer's throw back to the OG Naga and that thing is a fat turd in comparison. It looks a little similar but is dog shit quality and a fatter shape. I'm not sure why so many companies are obsessed with reinventing the wheel and making shittier versions with less buttons and bad ergos. If Razer literally made a OG Naga with the exact same ergos with maybe updated hardware inside it would sale like hotcakes
r/MouseReview • Where have all the MMO-styled Mice Gone? ->I kept trying to find one with those two buttons by the left click. All the new mmo mice put them near the scroll wheel which I hate.. I'm probably going to resort to soldering my Naga just to fix everything and not have to worry about it

r/MouseReview • Where have all the MMO-styled Mice Gone? ->I've been using Razer mice since I got my first gaming laptop in 2016. Had zero issues with my original Naga, then I upgraded to the newer version with the swappable side plates a few years back, which I just had to replace this year because occasionally the side buttons wouldn't register. I'm using the Naga V2 Hyperspeed right now and apart from having to relearn my muscle memory for the side buttons, it's been great. Maybe I've been lucky for 9 ish years lol

r/pcmasterrace • Daily driver for 12 years and started double clicking randomly, RIP ->I've got some old razer naga with 2 buttons by the left click and 12 numpad buttons. I'm not a stroke victim, but the mouse is amazing even without fancy binds. I don't like scrolling for hotbars or reaching across the keyboard
r/pcmasterrace • How I Returned to PC Gaming with One Hand After My Stroke ->I have a razer naga, but the old one without any swappable buttons, just the keypad. If I had that or a swappable one but also an ergonomic gaming mouse id never touch anything else
r/pcmasterrace • The 25 most recommended gaming mouse according to Reddit (in the past year as of Jun 2025) ->Razer Naga. I have 2 of them. The original version that I replaced after 10 years with the Razer Naga X. I've had great success with them, so I will continue to use them. My brother tried the Corsair Semitar and hated it. He's currently using some Red Dragon, and he loves it. I'm tempted to buy one to try it out purely due to the price.
r/wow • What MMO mouse would you Recommend for WoW? ->My younger brother rocks the reddragon mmo mouse and keyboard. He loves them. He even bought two of the mice, one for his desktop and one for his laptop. As I said, I use the Razer Naga X currently, which I believe I bought back in 2020ish? Before that, I had the original Naga from back in 2009. The original still works outside the scroll wheel. So I've been lucky with my longevity of the Nagas.
r/wow • The box for the SteelSeries World of Warcraft mouse has an ESRB M rating ->For what it’s worth, I’ve been using the razer naga since around 2009 too. I had to swap last month because my last few have been breaking way too soon and I can’t justify the price tag anymore. I’ve tried a few other mmo mice and all felt horrible to me until i tried the redragon m908. It felt wrong for the first day or two but that’s expected after using the same mouse for 15 years. I’m loving it now and the price is wayyyy better than razer options.
r/wow • The box for the SteelSeries World of Warcraft mouse has an ESRB M rating ->I had two Nagas. My first one was the first edition Naga and that one lasted a looong time. It actually still worked when I bought the new 2014 version, which started double clicking a year later. Switched to Corsair and Logitech and never looking back (for mice at least).
