The Razer Naga Pro is an amazing mouse for MMO gaming. It's a wireless version of the Razer Naga Trinity with minor aesthetic changes. It comes with hot-swappable side panels that have two, six, or 12 buttons, and all buttons are programmable, including the scroll wheel's up/down and left/right inputs. It's well-made, and the virgin grade PFTE feet provide a smooth gliding experience. It has incredibly low click latency and an extremely consistent and accurate sensor. People with medium or large-sized hands should feel comfortable using it, but it may be too big for small hands with any grip type.

Our Verdict

7.9
Work 

The Razer Naga Pro is excellent for office use. It feels well-made, and it's very comfortable to use if you have a medium or large-sized hand. There are a ton of buttons you can program to help with your workflow, including the left/right tilt on the scroll wheel. Sadly, the scroll wheel can't be unlocked for infinite scrolling.

Pros
  • Very comfortable for medium or large-sized hands.
  • A ton of programmable buttons.
  • Excellent build quality.
Cons
  • Scroll wheel doesn't offer infinite scrolling.
8.5
Video Games (FPS) 

The Razer Naga Pro is great for FPS gaming. It has incredibly low click latency, a wide CPI range, and you can adjust the sensitivity in small steps. It feels well-made, and the feet help the mouse glide smoothly. Unfortunately, it's on the heavy side, and there's no weight optimization.

Pros
  • Very comfortable for medium or large-sized hands.
  • Incredibly low click latency.
  • Smooth gliding experience.
Cons
  • Heavy.
9.2
Video Games (MMO) 

The Razer Naga Pro is amazing for MMO gaming. It comes with a 12-button side panel, and there are a ton of programmable inputs. It's well-made and comfortable to use for most hand sizes with a palm or claw grip. The click latency is incredibly low, and it has a very wide CPI range.

Pros
  • Very comfortable for medium or large-sized hands.
  • A ton of programmable buttons.
  • Incredibly low click latency.
  • 12-button side panel.
Cons
  • Software not available on macOS.

    Differences Between Sizes And Variants

    We tested the Razer Naga Pro in black, which is the only color available. You can see the label of our unit here.

    Popular Mouse Comparisons

    The Razer Naga Pro is a standout choice for MMO gaming due to its 12-button side panel and the ability to record a ton of macros. It's better-built, offers a smoother gliding experience, and has lower click latency than many competing MMO-focused mice. However, it's on the pricey side, and if you don't need a wireless option, there are cheaper wired choices available, like the Corsair SCIMITAR RGB ELITE or the Razer Naga Trinity.

    Also see our recommendations for the best MMO mice, the best gaming mice, and the best wireless gaming mice.

    Razer Naga V2 Pro

    The Razer Naga V2 Pro is a continuation of the Razer Naga Pro lineup. The V2 Pro has a new sensor, a new generation of optical switches, and a longer advertised battery life. It also has a customizable scroll wheel, which the previous Naga Pro lacks. That said, the Naga Pro is somewhat lighter and has somewhat better sensor latency performance.

    Razer Naga Trinity

    The Razer Naga Pro is better than the Razer Naga Trinity for most uses, but they're similar mice. The Pro is wireless, feels better-built, and the feet offer a better gliding experience. However, the Trinity is wired and has a lower lift-off distance.

    Razer Naga V2 HyperSpeed

    The Razer Naga Pro and the Razer Naga V2 HyperSpeed are wireless mice with similar shapes and gaming performance in the same lineup. The Razer Naga Pro is older but more versatile, including a set of three modular side panels with different button layouts. It also uses optical switches for its left- and right-click buttons. On the other hand, the Naga V2 HyperSpeed has two additional buttons on the outside edge of the left-click button. It uses mechanical switches and AA batteries instead of an internal, rechargeable battery found on the Naga V2 Pro.

    Razer Naga X

    The Razer Naga Pro and the Razer Naga X are both excellent MMO mice. You can use the Pro wirelessly, and it performs better overall. You can adjust the Pro's CPI range more precisely, and its click latency is much lower. If you play various types of games, it has three swappable panels with different button layouts, while the X only has the 12-button one. However, if you don't like the feel of a heavy mouse, the X is significantly lighter.

    The Razer Naga Pro looks a lot like the Razer Naga Trinity, with some slight changes. It has a gamer-oriented look when you use the six or 12-button side panels, but looks more like a standard office mouse with the two-button panel. It's matte black and there are new glossy accents near the scroll wheel compared to the Trinity. There are RGB zones on the scroll wheel, the logo on the back, and the side panel, and you can customize them to any color.

    The Razer Naga Pro is easy to carry around and there's a slot to place the USB receiver. However, it may be too bulky to place in most laptop cases.

    8.5
    Build Quality

    The Razer Naga Pro has an excellent build quality. It's made out of solid matte plastic, and even though the scroll wheel wobbles slightly, it's hardly noticeable and wobbles a lot less than the Razer Naga Trinity. The virgin grade PTFE feet are of great quality and the mouse glides around smoothly.

    This mouse is heavy and not suggested for ultra-light gaming. There's no weight optimization, but the two-button side panel is about 7g lighter than the 12-button side panel.

    Hand Size Recommendation
    Palm Grip Hand Recommendation
    Claw Grip Hand Recommendation
    Fingertip Grip Hand Recommendation

    The Razer Naga Pro has a very comfortable right-handed design. It's made for a palm or claw grip due to its tall back, and most people should feel comfortable using it, except those with small hands. The two and six-button panels have a nice, textured grip, but the 12-button panel doesn't. It also has a pinky rest and feels much like the Razer Naga Trinity. If you're interested in a similar MMO gaming mouse with a rest for your pinky and your thumb, check out the Redragon M913 Impact Elite.

    The Razer Naga Pro has incredible wireless versatility. You can connect to it either through Bluetooth or its proprietary receiver. It comes with a USB extender that allows you to place the receiver closer to your mouse to optimize performance. Razer advertises the battery life at 150 hours on Bluetooth and 100 hours through the receiver, but this isn't something we test for. The scroll wheel blinks in red when the battery has less than 5% left. Unlike the Razer Viper Ultimate, it doesn't come with a charging dock, so you have to charge it with the micro-USB cable. If you're looking for a wired alternative with a large number of programmable inputs, including special inputs like pressure-sensitive buttons and gyroscopic tilt gestures, check out the Swiftpoint Z.

    The feet are outstanding. They provide a very smooth gliding experience on a desk or mousepad. The feet are thick enough that they don't cause scratching. It doesn't come with extra feet in the box, and there aren't any third-party ones available, but if you find some, let us know.

    The Razer Naga Pro has an incredible number of buttons. The scroll wheel's click, left/right inputs, and up/down are all programmable, as well as the left and right-clicks, and the CPI switch buttons below the scroll wheel. You get an extra layer of programmable inputs with the HyperShift button, which you can assign to any button. The left button can be reprogrammed, but the left click action has to be assigned to another button first.

    It comes with two extra hot-swappable side panels. The six-button side panel has a more straightforward design with two rows of three buttons than the hexagonal design on the Razer Naga Trinity. The two-button side panel is aimed at FPS gamers but can also be used in the office.

    The Razer Naga Pro has incredibly low and consistent click latency. It delivers an extremely responsive-feeling experience in-game. The latency is significantly higher and much less stable when using a Bluetooth connection, but this is normal. A Bluetooth connection isn't recommended for gaming, especially reaction-based or competitive games.

The mouse has onboard memory, so you can use your custom profile on another computer even if it doesn't have the software downloaded. Unfortunately, the program is only available on Windows.
