Review: Razer Naga Epic Chroma

If there is a mouse that is well known to MMO players, especially World Of Warcraft, it is without a doubt the RAZER NAGA, a mouse with a very good quality, and with good control to play these games. In addition to having the integration of RAZER SYNAPSE software in the same game.

That mouse is the classic and best known version, but today we want to bring you the newest version and with a hybrid connection system of the RAZER NAGA, I am talking about the RAZER NAGA EPIC CHROMA, a mouse that any MMO player would have to try since It offers us some advantages over the classic version.

Before proceeding with the complete analysis of the mouse we would like to thank the people of RAZER for sending us this mouse to be able to do the analysis.

Packaging and accessories

The RAZER NAGA EPIC CHROMA comes in a black box combined with the color green, the 2 already classic colors of the brand.

On the outside of the box we can see the main characteristics of the mouse as well as some reference image.

When we remove the outside of the box, we find inside a black box, which when opening it will allow us to access all the contents of the pack.

After opening the box, the first thing we find is a quick user guide, with a Razer sticker kit, something that is also customary for the brand.

Below the quick user guide we do not find a small, very thin foam-rubber square that divides the quick guide from the rest of the pack content. After removing it, we can appreciate the content of the kit, in a shaped cardboard, which in turn protects the mouse and accessories.

In this last section we find the RAZER NAGA EPIC CHROMA mouse, the wireless charging and reception base, and the USB to micro-USB cable, 2 meters long with gold-plated connectors and braided nylon finish, which we can connect both to the charging base, as to the mouse directly.

Technical data

The mouse

The RAZER NAGA EPIC CHROMA is a gamer mouse geared towards MMO games, with dimensions of 119x75x43 mm and a weight of 150 grams, it is a medium-sized mouse, and with very good ergonomics, which adapts very well to any type hand. Helped with the non-slip rubber that the mouse has on the right side.

The mouse has a total of 19 fully programmable keys. The first 12 keys on the left side divided into 4 columns of 3 buttons. The next 7 buttons are at the top where in addition to the 2 sides, we do not find another 2 in the center just below the roller. Now if we do the math we are missing 3 buttons and the roller has a button down to the left and right. All keys are mechanical, and the roller has a smooth but precise turn.

At the top we also find the chroma lighting, divided into 2 sectors, the roller and the 12 side buttons.

Finally, at its bottom, we find 3 Teflon pads of a fairly large size, something that is usually common in RAZER mice, distributed throughout the base. In the same we can also see in the center the 4G Laser sensor that gives us a resolution of up to 8200DPI, and next to the on-off switch that only works in wireless mode, this switch has no use when we use the wired mouse .

As a curiosity under the sensor, in the rear part of the mouse we find 2 plated connectors, which will make contact with the base, and a small rectangular magnet that will allow correct centering and adhesion with the charging base.

Regarding the battery, they officially indicate that it lasts 12 hours, something that should be more than enough for any hard session of games.

The charging and receiving base

The charging base is quite simple at a glance, it is shaped like the back of a mouse, and it weighs quite a bit. On the bottom it has a rubber that at the same time is somewhat adhesive, without being purely an adhesive, and on the back it has an entrance for the micro-USB cable of the cable.

Otherwise it is an elegant and aesthetic small base.

Configuration and Software

The configuration of the RAZER NAGA EPIC CHROMA mouse is carried out using the RAZER SYNAPSE software, with this software we can change the lighting configuration of the mouse in its 2 independent zones, roller and side pad, and we can also change the entire configuration of the layout of the keys to add the function we want in any of them.

The software also allows us to adjust the sensitivity of the sensor, and to link with the World Of Warcraft game, in order to have a quick configuration of all the mouse buttons within the same game, something that lovers of this MMOs love it.

RAZER SYNAPSE is not just another control software, it is a complete management panel for all RAZER devices, which, in addition to allowing their configuration, allows us to keep them up to date. After connecting the mouse and turning on the software, we received a notice to download a firmware update, something that was done very quickly and that allows us to always keep our RAZER devices up to date.

Conclusion

After several days of testing I can clearly say that it is a fantastic mouse, in terms of quality of materials, but not only that, but its ergonomics make it perfect for long gaming sessions.

The battery life is within what is established and we have been able to use it for more than 10 hours in a row without the need for charging, which in general is also very correct for those who want to use it without a cable.

If we talk about the delay that wireless mice usually have, here we have a very pleasant surprise and that is that we have not noticed it with this RAZER NAGA EPIC CHROMA behaving tremendously well and with a very fast response time. Something that is appreciated.

Therefore, and although it may seem unfair due to the fact that I have used a NAGA previously, with which I played for more than 2 years, I can say that this dual version continues to have the same essence of the traditional NAGA, basically it is the same mouse only that Without cable. And that only allows me to say that it is a highly recommended mouse for MMO players.
