I LOVE this mouse. I’m so glad I was subscribed to your articles otherwise I would have never heard of this thing. It’s uber pwnage in PVP, so much that it’s hardly even fair (especially on twinks). I went for at least 6 hours straight on my mage with the 1 and 2 keys binded to Arcane Blast and Arcane Missles with basically no thumb strain at all! I LOVE this mouse SOO MUCH and I love you too for making this thing known to me!

What I’m after is a decent gaming trackball. After using Trackballs because of a shortage of desk space, I couldn’t go back to a mouse, but I would like some extra buttons. There’s two type of trackball too. On where you use your thumb and on where you use your forefinger.

Actually that’s not really the case. you can choose to buy it if you like, but even if you use our link, it’s a very small compensation for us. We throw products out from time to time that improve our play and that might help others. But we probably won’t even make enough to pay for a time card, just so you know. And, btw, you buy everything in the world at your own risk, so your comment isn’t as negative as you think. If you don’t like it, return it. Your purchase ot not will have virtually zero effect on us as a whole. Something either has value to you or not. The Naga has a value to us primarily as a tool for play and not so much as a vehicle for profit. If profit was the primary motive we would do it a very different way.

We don’t receive direct compensation for reviews. We throw things out there that we like, and like we have been for some time. If you think it will help you then get one, if you don’t then that’s fine too. I love it , and some others will – some won’t and that’s just the way things work.

How much did they pay you to write this?

If they didn’t, you might want to mention that at the start of the article. You sound like Shamwow Vince

The buttons do take a bit of practice, so I started just as you are describing, with using just 4, 5 and 6 for a few hours for the most part with cleanse on number 2. (chain heal, riptide and totem drops on 4,5,6 while using Vuhdo and a mouseover macro). It will take some time to easily muscle memory all of them, but what it does do is give me four or five extra skills that ARE easier to use than even the regular fourth and fifth mouse buttons. What WILL give you a hand cramp is trying to use the fourth and fifth regular buttons on this mouse, they are way far forward and I only use them to refresh water shield and an alternate totem drop (such as faction champs). I think it helps a TON if you are used to using Healbot or Vuhdo to heal with lots of mouse clicks on your right hand. My thumb was already used to toggling spells with buttons, it’s just a matter of getting a feel for the new ones.

With all that being said, it cant be any harder than learning multiple keystroke combinations on the keyboard. The difference is that if you started the game with the Naga, you would have had plenty of hours to adapt to the new style and feel of the buttons. Since I test out so many things, I’ve gotten a little used to doing this. Moving from the Fang on my right hand back to a mouse took me a couple of weeks, and the G13 also took some time to get really good at.

The real point is that at least this mouse gives you the OPTION of doing more on your mouse hand. You may very well find that you only use two or three of the buttons for combat moves, but it’s three more than you had before. Besides, the real thing for me, beyond the expansive capability of the Naga, is simply the comfort and control it offers. Even if the side buttons didn’t exist, I would still not use anything else.
