Razer Taipan, Razer Naga 2022

Razer Taipan

Razer's Taipan has been out for a picayune while but it certainly deserves a spot in our roundup every bit it's built from the start to be the company's all-around elite gaming mouse and information technology's priced equally such at $80.

Nosotros thought the Taipan felt a trivial light during our start utilise and we were right to think and so as it weighs but 110g -- a potential bargain breaker for some since in that location'southward no weight system. Combine that weight with a pocket-size frame (124mm long x 63mm wide x 36mm tall) and big-handed palm users are more often than not out of luck.

In saying that, nosotros managed to use it for hours with a typical claw grip and the lightness wasn't likewise bothersome as it's very well balanced. That's partly cheers to the contoured rubberized sides that flare outwards likewise, giving excellent grip for decent gaming sessions.

If you're worried near accidental clicks, Razer used pretty sturdy silver/chrome buttons on the side. As right handers, we establish those buttons a little hard to use at commencement (as was the case with nearly mice in this roundup), but nosotros imagine this won't exist an issue after regular use.

The Taipan has nine solid-feeling programmable buttons and its ambidextrous design checks near all the expected boxes.

Razer did an exceptional chore with the Taipan'due south hardware and the visitor's Synapse two.0 deject software does equally well at maintaining your settings across Razer's products, offering lighting changes (only greenish, which may upset some people), lift-off/surface scale, the usual sensitivity and acceleration tweaks. Recording macros is all too like shooting fish in a barrel.

Every bit the cherry-red on top, the Taipan's 4G dual sensor setup offers lethal accuracy in games, relying on a combination optical and laser sensors to provide a DPI of 8200.

Razer Naga 2022

Razer isn't new to the peripherals marketplace and its latest efforts have been as trigger-happy as e'er. Forth with its Taipan, the company supplied united states of america with the $80 Naga 2022 to prove how information technology has improved an already well-respected mouse.

The Naga also stands on the lighter side of things at around 105g (sans cable) and as with the Taipan, information technology lacks weight tuning. To exist honest, we were a little surprised it weighs and then niggling considering it doesn't feel light, and certainly not inexpensive.

Thanks to its well-designed form (offered in both left and right mitt versions), the Naga'south balance is correct on and it measures a comfortable 119 long ten 75mm wide x 43mm tall. The 2022 version also fixes the side MMO pad with more than pronounced mechanical switches and a more contoured shape to better match your hand.

The Naga 2022 is well suited for both claw and palm grips. When using the latter, nosotros had no problem reaching all of the device's nineteen buttons. Meanwhile, its matte anti-slip, anti-fingerprint finish is a stride up from the Taipan's extra rubberized side grips, while Razer'southward Snyapse software is equally powerful here.

Creating or recording macros is easy, even with delays. We also like the addition of the in-game configurator being easy to bring up at your will, by setting your own shortcut. This could salvage quite a few alt-tabs in your favourite MMO, and adding your own images to each button adds a fiddling more than personalisation that we liked.

This is one impressive MMO mouse with our biggest gripes existence its price, even though information technology's justified in our opinion, and the fact that you tin't alter colors is a bummer, though Razer as well offers a wired/wireless multi-color Naga Ballsy.
