CONCLUSION
With the Naga Hex Razer has introduced yet another well balanced gaming mouse with incredible speed and accuracy thanks to its 5600DPI laser sensor, great grip thanks to its ideal weight and design and finally plenty of buttons to go around so i guess that these features are more or less enough to consider any gaming mouse as perfect. However you all know that i don't really believe in perfection (not 100%) and so during the days i used the Naga Hex i always felt that something didn't feel quite right and that was no other than its two primary buttons which although have a life a very good life cycle of up to 10.000.000 clicks felt just way too soft when used and that let me down a bit since this was the only bad thing i encountered. Of course the fact that I’ve been using and testing gaming mice with harder primary buttons might be the reason behind my opinion and so it may just be me since a friend of mine didn't feel the same way (on the other hand he didn't like the design). Razer also packs Synapse 2.0 with the Naga Hex (and pretty much all their latest products) which is a quite impressive piece of software not only because it automatically detects, downloads and installs every available software and firmware update for your product without your intervention but it also stores your settings automatically and according to Razer they will also soon implement an in-game UI to store specific game settings.
At this exact time the Razer Naga Hex retails for USD79.99 inside the USA (Amazon/Newegg) and at 69.90Euros inside the EU (Caseking) so i do expect some people to consider it as a bit expensive, however this gaming mouse is mostly targeted towards hardcore gamers who usually ignore the cost of anything that could give them the extra edge in online games. Overall the Razer Naga Hex is an impressive gaming mouse that should cover the needs of pretty much every gamer out there, hardcore or not thanks to its many features and automated update software (no more checking for updates every now and then, you now get them once they are out). As mentioned i didn't really like the feeling when using the two forward buttons and i would like to see more illumination colors supported but the first could just be me (personal preference) while the second makes sense in a way since the entire mouse is green. Because of everything mentioned we are happy to award the Razer Naga Hex with our Golden award.
