At first I was gonna go with the Logitech G600 since I've always found them a reliable company, but I've decided to try out the new Razer Naga 2014 since I don't think I would've liked the G600's G-Shift button. Although the mouse with my favorite feel was the Microsoft Intellipoint 3.0, but the DPI was really low and decided that I had to upgrade. I got this and I really loved it, the feel was really good and even though the feel wasn't as good as my previous one, it's for the better since it'll fit more hands in general. I have used the other Razer MMO and Moba mouses, but first time owning one. These are your 2 primary buttons, scroll click button, mouse 4 and 5 below the mouse wheel, 12 side buttons, and 2 from tilting the scroll wheel left or right, so it is a total of 19 buttons. The 12 side buttons will come in handy for Photoshop, Blender, and Dota 2 which I really like. The DPI is 8,200 which is really nice and it feels so much better with this much DPI. The mouse buttons are very responsive and clicky and overall makes you feel like you have more control over the mouse. Overall this is a very nice mouse with tons of control for this mouse. The biggest problem in general with this mouse though, doesn't affect me, but will to some, there's no adjustable side panels. It is rather a one size fits all type of mouse and it does have a great shape. The others are $10 cheaper right now, excluding Epic. Also fyi, if you're a lefty, then you can get a lefty version.
I haven't used the Logitech G600, so I can't compare which mouse is better, but it looks like I'd probably prefer the Razer Naga 2014. Still haven't tried the Logitech G600, but tried the 2012 version at a friends place and used my bro's Hex before.
tl;dr the first part
Pros:
-19 buttons total
-One size fits most hands
-Easy to tell which buttons are which on the side
-Synapse allow tons of customization to the mouse's function
-8,200 DPI
-Congrats Razer Naga 2014, first MMO mouse with a lefty edition ^_^
Cons:
-The the other versions are cheaper right now (Excluding Epic)
-No wireless (doesn't affect me, but some people likes their wireless)
-No adjustable side panels like 2012 and Epic
Preferences:
-Nice finish imo, not slippery. Finish is matte btw and has a rubber part for your pinky to rest on.
-The finish isn't glossy :( But I think it's for the better
-the glows are amazing :3
Comparisons to the other popular MMO mouses
Naga 2012 (gonna add assumptions on Molten and Epic) vs. Naga 2014 vs. Naga Hex (This one is Moba, but similar enough for a comparison and also, I might add one for Logitech G600 later when I get a chance to use one)
Naga 2012:
-17 buttons total
-Side buttons aren't mechanical, so not as clicky
-Adjustable side panels
-You're gonna have to use trainers probably to get used to using the side buttons at first, well for some
-Glossy side finish, prepare to clean it when all that gunk gets on the side
-Max DPI is 5,600
-MOLTEN ONLY (Also applies to the original): Mouse 4 and 5 are located on the left click button, top left corner of it
-EPIC ONLY: There's a wireless option
Naga 2014:
-19 buttons total (The additional 2 buttons are the tilt scroll whell, left and right)
-Side buttons are mechanical, more clicky in terms of sound
-Side panel can not be adjusted
-Side buttons are easier to tell which one they are
-Side finish is not glossy, the whole mouse is matte and has a little rubber part for your pinky to rest on, keep in note that when the mouse was glossy it got dirty more easily and I don't like that personally.
-Max DPI is 8,200
-No wireless
-This mouse is wider than the other one, just fyi.
Naga Hex:
-11 buttons total (Only 6 side buttons rather than 12)
-Side buttons are mechanical, more clicky in terms of sound (Main reason why some got Hex over regular and the fact that Hex was easier to tell than the other versions, the new one shows pretty much no point to use it over the Naga 2014 other than finish and size or feel)
-Side panels can't be adjusted. T.T
-Side buttons are easy to tell which one they are (Again reason why some people prefered Hex over Regular Naga, but the Naga 2014's side buttons are also really easy to tell)
-Whole mouse is glossy and looks REALLY nice imo, but get prepared to clean it often if you get a lot of gunk on it.
-Max DPI is 5,600
-No wireless
So you can always use this comparison as a reference to which one you would want. And look through the images and think which shape would fit your hands the most, do you actually need the adjustable side panel? Think about the advantages the Naga 2012 had and think if you ACTUALLY need them or not, well the only ones it had as far as I know is it is cheaper and adjustable side panels, along with the glossy side finish. If not, then dip in some extra cash or eat a little bit less lunch and be a little more patient to get more bang with the buck if that's the case. In general 2014 is better in my opinion, but 2012 can work better for you and maybe even Hex would do fine for you. I hope this review helped and again, will try continue updating it as things go on.
