Great mouse, perfect for MMOs
By Sixaola on Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2013
I bought this mouse to replace a Razer Naga Molten Edition. I am avid MMO player and I have grown used to the multiple buttons of this mouse, which provides amazing flexibility when playing other action games. Having so many buttons at your fingertip is great. The TOR mouse is exactly like the Naga mouse. The Molten Edition is wired and this one is wired and wireless. I have found it to be extremely responsive and a great fit for my hand. The mouse has many settings for sensitivity and for the lightning effects. As well, the battery is extremely long lived, I can play for 10 hours straight and it never ran out of battery. There are 2 small issues I have with this model compared to other mice I have seen. 1. the buttons on the wheel are usually "on top of" the wheel, you know, closer to the edge of the mouse. This mouse has the buttons "under the wheel", closer to the center of the mouse. Not sure if this makes sense, but it is the only way i can explain it. All the models I have used of mice in the past use the first configuration, so getting used to the change in this mouse required a bit of work. Nothing major, but I know many people really pay attention to this. 2. Light on the SW faction logo. While you can select the color of the light in the wheel and the charging base of the mouse, this logo is stuck to yellow color. The mouse actually glows white in this section, and the logo part attach to it is the one that provides the color. Don't expect this logo to change colors. I didn't reduce any stars to this product for these 2 issues since one is cosmetic and the other didn't represent a major issue for me. The mouse is fantastic and works marvelously. I have seen many people complain that the drivers didn't work properly, but that was before the Synapse 2,0 version which is very stable and very reliable. Installation is pretty easy. Plug your mouse, download the driver installer and that's it. This mouse model has been discontinued, and many people are afraid of not finding replacement parts. I don't see many people attempting to replace things like laser sensor and such, so for me it all boils down to the battery replacement. While this battery can provide good 3 or 4 years of work, you might want to buy a replacement Naga battery, which is the same model. I don't think Razer will change the batteries they are using in the near future. If you are buying this mouse for the SWTOR crystal, that promo is not working anymore, so you won't receive anything there. Sorry for that. I am sure many people will think about getting a Naga instead of this mouse, and in my book, but are pretty much the same mouse. They can both do the same thing and in the end they will provide a very close experience to gaming. I bought this at a very reduced price, which is an advantage over the Naga which remains close to full price. And last, having the ability of going wireless and wired with a 17 button mouse is a great addition to this one. I love being able to just plug a cable and be ready to continue playing with no downtime

A comparison: Naga Epic or SW Mouse???
By Zen on Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2012
Having both the Naga Epic and the SW Mouse, I have to say the Naga epic is irrefutably better. The ergonomics, and the ability to adjust said ergonomics makes the Naga epic superior. As mentioned in some previous reviews, the sharp edges of the SW mouse feel rather uncomfortable, and the mouse is surprisingly small. As with the naga, buttons 10 through 12 are awkwardly positioned. With all this in mind, the SW mouse is without a doubt worth the purchase if upgrading from a regular mouse. However already having the Naga epic, I feel this is a downgrade in comfort. Another flaw with the SW mouse is the scroll wheel. As it is slightly lower in the mouse and it feels awkward if using the middle finger to scroll. From an aesthetics point of view, again the Naga epic takes the cake. The interchangeable colored lights of both of these mice is a wonderful feature. However with many of the colors, the silver [SW Mouse] just does not complement them. However the black [Naga Epic] suits quite well with all of the colors. Seeing as most of my hardware is also black, it is no surprise the preference to the naga remains here. However there is one feature I do like about the SW mouse aesthetically, and that is the changeable faction plates. It's nice to add that extra sense of belonging if playing tor, however the light is a white/yellow which doesn't go well with color changing LEDs. Both mice are cordless/corded and come with charges/batteries. That being said, response time is always next to 0 when playing corded, and I highly recommend such with both mice. For me there is no comparison between the two mice, as mentioned earlier, the Naga Epic wins this battle, however the starwars mouse makes a great collectors item and a great upgrade from your average mouse or earlier gaming mice. I would rate this 3.5/5
