A better Naga without the price tag
350109
Ever since buying a Naga 5-6 years ago, I couldn't go back to gaming with other mice again. The side buttons offered too much flexibility in MMO's, and worked wonderful for games like Dota 2 as well.

The Perdition from Redragon does exactly what I've come used to with the Naga, except it has half the price, more ergonomic, and responsive. Currently, I don't see it having any cons.

I need to caveat this review with the fact that I only paid $40 for this mouse, and use it solely for office use which includes a decent amount of CAD (requiring a good fast tracking mouse). I realize many others paid a lot more for this mouse, so their reviews are still justified.

The mouse tracks very well, and with the palm extended, fits well in the hand. It is a little smaller than a conventional mouse, but matches the size of a similar Microsoft laptop mouse. The build quality seems high with an aluminum chassis.

Some of the buttons are in awkward positions. The 3D side button can not be used with accuracy (clicking it 'in' instead of 'down' or vice versa). I instead mapped this to simple commands rather than movement. The secondary bottom to the left of the left click is also stiff and can only be pressed if you pinch both sides, However in general the additional buttons come in handy over a conventional mouse at this price.

The software leaves much to be desired. It is buggy at best, and I found it very difficult to get it to work as I wanted. Finding the right drivers (I use this both on PC and MAC, was very difficult. In fact I could never get the software to work for my mac, and so therefore could not map any of the buttons, and have to use them for their default functions. Would have much rather seen a more plug and play type of mouse.

I spend a bit of time trying to get the Bluetooth connection to my MAC to work, but could never get there. My PC does not have Bluetooth. I instead just use the included dongle. I seem to have no connection issues using the dongle instead of using Bluetooth with, which I am happy enough with.

In summary: This mouse promises a lot, bit falls short on many of these. However, at a $40 price point it still out preforms many other office/laptop mouses.

This is a nice mouse for the price.  Let's take a look from the top and see if it is for you.

Packaging:  This is trivial, but so many of these plastic packaged products require a chainsaw to open.  That's not the case with this one.

Setup:  This model (and the V320) do not come with an installation CD with the Set Point software.  In order to utilize all of the features of the mouse, you need to download the software from Logitech's web site.  The file is just under 60 Mb so allow a few minutes for download.  The installation took about 10 minutes on my laptop.  Everything is straightforward, just make sure you allow about 20 minutes total.

Usage:  This mouse has some nice features.  The on/off switch is automatic based on whether the USB adapter is docked or not.  You can also turn it off manually.  Tracking is very precise, and it has a couple of extras on the scroll wheel.  If you push down on the scroll wheel, you get a magnifying glass and can then use the scroll wheel to zoom in and out.  The scroll wheel also tilts left and right for horizontal scrolling.  If you hover over the Logitech icon, you get a reading on the battery life in the mouse.  The only thing I would like to see different is for the mouse itself to be a little bit larger.  If you have larger hands, this may be an issue (consider the V320 instead).

Conclusion:  If you are only looking for a basic mouse, this should do the trick.  You will not find any added features for controlling media players or gaming.  If those are your needs, you should consider an alternative.

There are generally two camps of people looking at this mouse. The first group is people on a budget. This is a great mouse for the price. In 2013 there is no reason that you should have to pay $40+ for a gamin g grade mouse. Logitech definately delivered on the value front by making a mouse without a ton of extra marketing features but with what is important like the nice sensor and the strain relief on the cord (previous iterations of this design were notorious for the cord breaking but this addresses that).  The mouse is great at 500 hz and 1000 dpi, but look elsewhere if you need huge dpi numbers or more than the standard three buttons.
However, there is certainly a lot more to this mouse than just being a value mouse. It is, in my opinion, the best mouse in the whole G series range. If you open up the mouse you can remove the internal weight. Once you remove the weight, you end up with one of the smallest and lightest mice on the market today.  I can definately get much better control with the G100S than with the higher end G400 (which I also own).  I can throw my mouse across the mat for hours without fatigue, and fingertip grip is very comfortable as even my little finger can comfortably slide this mouse due to its ideal size and weight.

I've been using it the better part of 200 hours (almost a month).

Pros
-It's cheap, so it won't break your bank.
-It's large, so people with wide and long hands will appreciated the ergonomics.
-5/7 of the colors look vibrant.
-4 DPI settings so you can switch from sniping to regular firing on the fly.
-Glides smoothly over a mousepad (not so much on anything else)

Cons
-The coating on the mouse smells, and will rub off on your hands.
-The lights just strobe colors (you can press the DPI button to switch to the next one). Not really a large problem, can just see how it might upset people though.
-The scroll button is starting to come loose (sometimes it won't scroll properly or switch weapons). I'll probably need to replace the mouse in a couple of months at this rate.

All in all, it's not a bad mouse if you're just needing something to hold you a few months before you pick up something else.

I'm on my 3rd Naga in about 10 years.  Nothing wrong with the other two, my kids take them  :)
I love Razer Naga, with all the extra features and buttons.  I do with one hand what many gamers have to do with two.

At 4 months in, this mouse has performed very well. I use it for CAD / Photoshop / Rhino modelling work and it's been very adept in its accuracy. I appreciate the weight chamber (it keeps the mouse cursor put when doing precise work), and I would even say this is a viable competitor to the Logitech G-Series mice, at half the price (or less), although the feel is different. It seems best suited for larger hands.

The 'click' is loud, but not outrageous, and the feel of the build-quality is solid, but not overdone. It has no real graphic panache but this mouse is sleek, accurate and comfortable and deserves some recognition, especially for its price.

I'd recommend it.

I've been using it for about a week, and have played a lot of Skyrim, edited photos in Photoshop CS5.5, and have done general web surfing tasks.  I'm running Windows 8.1 at 1680x1050 (older GTX video card), and I need very precise while editing portraits or other photos. My prior experiences are with Dell and HP "cheapo" mice, and several different Logitech mice (both wired and wireless).  I can't bring myself to spend $50+ on mice.

PROS - highly responsive all the way around, well made and sturdy, perfect weight, wide bottom feels very stable, fits my medium sized guy hand well, solid feeling clicks, glides across desk surface perfectly, can change DPI on the fly (surprisingly useful feature while Photoshopping), surface textures of the mouse feel nice

MEH - relative loudness of button clicks = 6/10 (which only bothers my wife)

CONS - A wee bit gaudy for me - particularly the lights, which cannot be dimmed or turned off.  This is simply personal taste.

I want a wired mouse with more than 2 side buttons and less than 12. That alone limits my options to almost nothing! The two side and two index buttons here are easy to press and don't look too Transformers-y. The satin finish of the mouse is comfortable and not at all plasticy. The third thumb button, freespinning mousewheel, and and RGB are pure gravy. This mouse would still be excellent without them. The weights are kind of pointless for my taste. This mouse is decently hefty, I can't imagine people needing it to be much more heavy.

All this and the price is on the mid/low end of the premium gaming mouse market. This sure is an unbeatable deal.

I migrated to this from a G600, which is also a great mouse, but I just never used the 12 buttons or third mouse button due to ergonomics.

On it's own it is a very solid mouse. Compared to the original Naga it is a downgrade.

-I am a big man with long fingers and the 1-12 thumb buttons feel too far apart. Better clicking but harder to get to.
-Moving the bonus mouse buttons from the left click location to under the scroll button stinks. Feels much more awkward to click.
-The L and R clickability of the middle scroll button is good in theory but i find it almost impossible to click the middle mouse without also clicking left or right. I had to unbind those clicks because of this rendering them useless.
-My biggest beef is with the R click. On the old version wherever your finger sat it was clickable. On the new version there is an elevated edge that is solid and not part of the R click. It has been weeks and i am still not used to that aspect of the changes. I have to keep my middle finger tucked closer to the middle mouse button than i would like. It's a little maddening.

All in all it still is a very solid mouse. People with smaller hands might find it difficult to get used to. I really wish they hadn't changed the old design.

Mouse works fantastic, the little weights aren't the best but you can take em out if its too heavy for your preference.
the actual build quality of the mouse makes companys like razor seem like they just charge so much more for mice that are just as good.
this would replace a razor naga hex. easily!

Incredibly easy to configure and works great.  Bought this mouse to save money and not buy a Naga.  Has yet to disappoint me.

This mouse has many of the features you will find on the higher end mice. Unfortunately the design and quality somewhat suffers. For the price, this mouse would be acceptable. For me, I chose a higher quality and paid a little more.

The wireless seems to be more reliable than my previous Naga Epic that I was forced to use wired.  The form factor is good for my hand size even though you can't adjust the grip size.  So far I am very happy with this product.

I have used this mouse for about a month, so far, it has been a very pleasing expeerience.

The buttons are very smooth and functional to press, and the scroll wheel feels very responsive. The lighting area which informs the current sensitivity is in a very convenient spot, since you will most likely be using it in your right side. Also being the battery life indicator means sometimes you have to wait for the DPI level indicator to change, which can be bothering to those who want immediate access.

The default back and forward buttons are responsive, but don`t seem ergonomic in my hands. The horizontal orientation of the buttons are inconvenient to me, since my thumb usually rests below the button`s height. There is a republic of gamers (ROG) mouse which has the back and forward button in a vertical orientation, with one button below the thumb and one above. I believe this system is more practical and comfortable the the mamba mouse.

The DPI range is extreme and can easily be adjusted via software (which you should download the latest version at their site). I never use the highest default sensitivity though (5600 DPI is more of a marketing strategy rather than a user advantage, in my opinion), It becomes very unpractical in most FPS games. Again, this can be adjusted via software.

This is my first wireless mouse, and the fact it`s not AA powered is most pleasing. The cable can be used to charge the mouse directly, allowing it to be used as a regular mouse, and also go wireless, by connecting the same usb cable to the dock.

It`s not that efficient as a mouse for laptops, since you most likely will have to carry the dock with you for wireless mode.

It`s great in lower DPIs for photoshop too. Gives that extra precision for details, as it does for FPS headshots.

I recommend this mouse only when it gets a little cheaper (currently $100). It`s good, but not all that the company believes.

I was in the market for a new gaming mouse for a few reasons; 1, I was sick of only having 2 programmable buttons on my Logitech MX518 that I had had for 6 years, and 2, that mouse was starting to look really ugly...it was over 6 years old..seriously.

I researched and researched all the MMO mice on amazon.com as well as a few other sites. I had to make a big decision between the Cyborg MMO 7, the Razer Naga, and this mouse, the Corsair M90. The Cyborg looks just out of this world amazing, and that was one of my big draws to it but the reviews just weren't very good, they said it wouldnt last.  It was almost twice as much as this mouse and I didn't want to waste that kind of money a mouse that would end up breaking a month down the road.  The Razer Naga has lots, and I mean LOTS, of buttons, all programmable. That was exactly what I wanted, but I hated the fact that they were just in a simple grid pattern.  I tried one at best buy and knew that it wouldn't be for me since the mouse itself is really tiny, alot tinier than it looks in the pictures.

So finally, after much meditation, and seeing that the price of the Corsair M90 dropped to $53.99 (for a while) I decided that I was going to just pull the plug and buy it, and I haven't had any regrets yet. I'm going to go through some things I like and dislike about the mouse.

Likes
-The buttons, 9 programmable on the side by your thumb, 3 on top. In total (including the left,right,middle click) there are 15 buttons, all of which are programmable to whatever you want, even macros! The 9 buttons on the side are arranged as such so that finding and remembering where the buttons are at is a piece of cake, there is no learning curve since they aren't in a grid, they are just all arranged around your thumb.

-The software, the software is a little tricky to get the hang of since there isn't much documentation on it, but once you figure it out its a piece of cake and its really really powerful, you can have infinite configurations if you don't do hardware playback, which is amazing.

-Size/weight, this mouse has a great size, its only a little smaller than the Logitech MX518 (or G400) which is what drew it to me the most. I was really scared that it was going to be super tiny like the naga, but luckily my hand is still full when I hold this mouse.  It also has a really good weight to it, its not light at all, although you cant customize the weight.

Dislikes
-When I first got this mouse the left click on it was really really sticky, I applied for an RMA right away in hopes that they would replace it.  In that time I let it sit on top of my desk and chill.  After about 5 days of waiting for an RMA (not impressed with Corsair's customer service) I decided to plug it in and try it out again.  To my delight the left click is not sticky at all now and its been working great ever since! Why this happened I have no idea, but I'm glad I waited because an RMA would have taken so much longer.

I use this mouse mainly for Minecraft and Everquest and I have all the buttons programmed as such for each of those games.  I also have a Windows profile with actions like cut, paste, CTRL+W, etc. Its really nice to be able to swap profiles at a touch of a button on the mouse too, although that does take up a couple of the programmable buttons.

All in all, I cannot recommend this mouse highly enough, for the price it is utterly amazing, I could go on for another 3 pages but I really can't since I'm in college and have homework staring me down as I type this. If you're in the market for a gaming mouse but don't want the learning curve of the naga or the price of the Cyborg MMO 7 then this is the mouse for you! It is truly a solid performer.

I decided to splurge and upgrade from using a cheapo wireless mouse I had originally bought to take along with my laptop in school.  I did some research and determined this should do the trick, albeit about twice as much as I wanted to spend.

Pros:

- It looks nice.

- It functioned as a mouse, for the most part.

- It did not scare my cat.

Cons:

- The DarkBeam technology or what not totally failed on my desk, which my aforementioned cheapo mouse performs flawlessly on.  My desktop is painted a semi-gloss white, nothing exotic.  The cursor would lag, stall, and jump until I moved the mouse to a different surface.  Two thumbs down.

- For over $70 and what amounts to a few buttons and a scroll wheel, I was hoping the build quality would stun me.  I was, however, unimpressed.  The materials and colors looked and felt nice, but the scroll wheel was chunky and clunky, and the L/R buttons rattled and buzzed.  So now, not only does the cheapo mouse out perform the heavy hitter, it's also a better build quality even after 9 years of constant use!

- The unifying receiver did not work with any of my older Logitech stuff.  Not overly surprising, but, bummer!

- I have smallish to medium hands.  This did not fill up my palm as I was hoping it would.  If I placed it so my palm contacted the back of the mouse, my fingers would hang a knuckle over the edges of the buttons.  Placing the tips of my fingers on the buttons left my palm completely in the air.  I feel like it needed to be about 15-20% bigger.  If I had kept it I probably would have used some molding silicone to re-form it; precisely what you'd want to do to a brand new higher end mouse.

- Not only that, but the ergonomics were...weird.  If I hold it like it LOOKS like it should be held, the button placement is off.  The left button lands under my middle finger, ring finger gets to scroll and pinky mans the button right.  The thumb buttons are inaccessible (and I'm fairly flexible).  If you hold it so you can actually use the buttons, it looks like you're twisting it and no part of my hand feels supported at all, basically I am hanging my arm in the air and resting my fingertips on the buttons.  They really should hook up with Evoluent's ergo people, I have the VM4R at work and it's my gold standard for ergo (and I'm finally just biting the bullet and buying one for myself after these shenanigans).

- It makes me question my judgement and the normal-ness of my hands as I can't understand how so many people are thrilled with this thing and I couldn't return it fast enough..

- Amazon put it on a Gold Box deal a week after I bought it while still in the "maybe it will grow on me with some use" phase.  DOH!  That said, I don't think I would have kept it, even at under $50.
