14 DAY TRIAL // Knowing that good peripherals have more or less the same bearing on the gaming experience as video boards and CPUs, Razer has created a new iteration of its popular Naga MMO mouse, one that can operate both as a wired and a wireless peripheral.
The Naga Mouse from Razer is especially designed for players of MMO (massively multiplayer online) games.
At a glance, what sets it apart from most of the other mice on the current market is the large number of buttons it is designed with.
The product utilizes a 5600 dpi 3.5G laser sensor and has 17 programmable MMO-optimized buttons, 12 of them being set on the side, as a thumb grid.
Actually, the new Naga Epic is, one might say, identical to the 'regular' Naga, only it features wireless connectivity, although it can also be used as a wired device if owners so wish.
The Naga Epic also comes with backlight, a response time of 1ms and a battery that can keep it running for up to 17 hours, or 12 hours if used continuously.
"With the Naga Epic, Razer gives MMO gamers around the world more freedom than ever before," said Robert 'RazerGuy' Krakoff, President, Razer.
"We combined the MMO gaming capabilities of the original best-selling Razer Naga and took it to the next level by giving it a true gaming-grade wireless option utilizing the same technology that we developed for the ultra high-end Razer Mamba," Krakoff added.
“Every aspect of the Razer Naga Epic’s design, from its ergonomic form factor to button sizes, placement and angles was rigorously tested both internally in our R&D labs in San Francisco and Singapore, and with seasoned pro-gamers,” said Min-Liang Tan, CEO and Creative Director, Razer.
“The Naga Epic is also one of the most comfortable mice we’ve ever designed, with 3 interchangeable side panels that ensure an ideal fit for various hand sizes and grip styles,” the CEO went on to saying.
The newcomer will begin shipping next month and will have a price of $130, or 130 Euro in Europe.
