With my Naga I often found myself finding a reference point in grid and counting down to the button I needed. Furthermore it is quite easy to misclick in the heat of the battle due to the closeness of the buttons and the difficulty of remembering your position. Worse since it relies on your least dextrous finger (the thumb) its usually very hard to reach more than the central few buttons. A grid along the left is the hardest way to memorize a button layout. MMO gaming requires immediate access to many different functions. Whether that's a good thing or a bad thing will depend on your genre preferences. Like its predecessor, the Naga Epic Chroma is ideal for one genre and so-so for others, but Razer purposely designed the mouse this way. I'm not nearly a hardcore enough player to need more than 12 buttons at thumb point, but if you are, you can even shift between keymaps to give yourself access to more than 100 buttons with only a few clicks.
When playing through The Old Republic (and World of Warcraft, for good measure), having my most frequently used skills at my fingertips was incredibly handy. The mouse’s unusual shape and preponderance of buttons mean that instead of keeping one or two vital skills close at hand, you’ll have to put up with a lot of unnecessary buttons or remap every skill in the game to your thumb.įor MMOs, however, the Naga Epic Chroma is about as good as mice get.
The mouse was functional with all three titles (and some of the thumb buttons were useful for Heart of the Swarm when I created multiple subgroups within an army), but the Naga Epic Chroma is not the right tool for the job. I have nothing exciting to report about Titanfall, Heart of the Swarm or Assassin's Creed Unity. I tested the mouse with Titanfall, StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm, Assassin's Creed Unity and Star Wars: The Old Republic. While it doesn't present any significant problems for other genres, if you plunk down $130 for this mouse, you'd better be prepared to spend most of your time with World of Warcraft or a similar title. As the product's design suggests, the Naga Epic Chroma performs extremely well with MMOs.
