Trying to search out good gaming mouse should you’re left-handed remains to be a attempting expertise at the present time. Sure, there are rising numbers of ambidextrous mice on the market, equivalent to our best gaming mouse champ the Asus ROG Pugio and Steelseries Sensei 310, however they pale compared to the variety of right-handed mice. Well, that small variety of leftie-friendly mice is about to get somewhat bit greater, as Razer have introduced they’re going to start out making a correct left-handed model of their MMO gaming mouse, the Razer Naga.
Sadly, you’ll have a wait a good previous whereas earlier than it’s out there, as manufacturing isn’t resulting from start till someday subsequent yr. You can, nonetheless, pre-register your curiosity for the Naga Left Handed Edition over on Razer’s website.
According to Razer, pre-registering will assist “support the production” of their left-handed Naga, as the entire endeavour is seemingly going to be fairly the “costly venture” for them. “Work has begun” on the left-handed Naga, nonetheless, in line with Razer’s press launch, so I’d be stunned in the event that they abruptly canned it mid-production. It all sounds a bit hand-wringing should you ask me, however I suppose understanding tough numbers upfront will assist guarantee inventory ranges don’t instantly run out as quickly because it goes on sale.
Razer haven’t launched any further particulars concerning the Naga Left Handed Edition’s specs both in the mean time, so we’ll in all probability have to attend till nearer to its launch to search out out what sort of DPI vary it’s going to have, in addition to whether or not it’s going to be a full-blown leftie model of Razer’s moderately good Naga Trinity mouse, which comes with three completely different facet panels and button mixtures versus only one with a calculator on it. I’d think about not, given the additional value of producing these further snap-on facet panels, however you by no means know.
The Naga Left Handed Edition wasn’t the one new mouse Razer introduced this week, both, as they’re additionally introducing two new wi-fi mice, the Razer Basilisk Ultimate and Razer Basilisk X Hyperspeed. Both are right-handed mice, sadly, so received’t be a lot good for lefties, however every one might be powered by Razer’s Hyperspeed know-how to make sure extremely low latency and tremendous quick response instances. Indeed, Razer declare their HyperSpeed tech offers you the bottom click on latency of any form of wi-fi mouse know-how, though fairly how a lot 195 microseconds differs from the alleged business better of 270 microseconds in line with Razer’s website is up for debate.
Still, the Basilisk Ultimate (above) may have an enormous 20,000 DPI optical sensor (the identical because the Viper Ultimate), 11 programmable buttons, and it’ll include Razer’s personal optical mouse switches as nicely. These don’t require any bodily contact to ship their electrical indicators to your PC, so ought to assist get rid of the necessity for issues like debounce delay. Razer say it’s additionally obtained a battery lifetime of as much as 100 hours, so you must have the ability to use it for an excellent lengthy whereas earlier than it wants charging once more. It’s going to value you, although, because it’s set to value £170 / $170 if you wish to get one with Razer’s charging dock, or £150 / $150 by itself.
As for the Basilisk X Hyperspeed, this may value “just” £60 / $60 by comparability. That’s as a result of this wi-fi mouse solely has a 16,000 DPI optical sensor (the identical one because the Deathadder Elite), 6 programmable buttons and Razer’s mechanical mouse switches. It additionally has Bluetooth help, which you should use to get a battery lifetime of as much as 450 hours, in line with Razer, or 285 hours with its 2.4GHz wi-fi mode. And should you’re questioning why this mouse’s battery life is a lot longer than the Basilisk Ultimate’s, that’s as a result of this one has no RGB lighting to talk of.
