Our Verdict

Razer Naga V2 Pro

Corsair DARKSTAR WIRELESS

The Razer Naga V2 Pro and the Corsair DARKSTAR WIRELESS are wireless gaming mice designed for MMO gaming. The Razer includes three separate modular side panels, providing different button layouts, one of which has a full 12-button grid that provides more programmable buttons overall. It also has better build quality and a significantly longer advertised battery life. On the other hand, the Corsair is a bit lighter and has a six-button side panel. It also supports tilt gestures, which the Razer lacks.
