 This video is brought to you by our trusted graphics partner, NVIDIA. Ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha ha! This is the Razer Naga Hex loli- Oh wait, League of Legends, hold on, that's different. Ah, yeah, it's a game, not a laughing thing. Okay, so this is the Razer Naga Expert MOBA, which I actually had to look up. I hadn't heard of that before, so it's apparently something, something, something. Can't remember. Multiplayer Online Battle Arena, that's a genre now. I mean, I always thought we just called it Dota and League of Legends, because those are sort of the primary games, but there you go. Optimized for MOBA and action RPG games, or I mean, MMO probably is just as valid for something like this, because, uh, however, unlike the regular Naga, which has 12 buttons on the side, the Naga Hex is named such because it only has 6 buttons on the side, so it's not quite as, uh, as crazy optimized for tons and tons and tons of different functionality, but more like you want to have a bunch of different profiles with a few different, um, commands that you'd want to be able to execute at a moment's notice. Now, if you've followed Linus Tech Tips, you probably already know that I do like the Naga, uh, the original one, I've never tried the Hex, although based on what I'm seeing so far, they're going to be pretty similar, and I do like the idea of mice that have a lot of buttons on the side. Uh, the G600 was probably the biggest disappointment for me out of the lot, just because, um, and again, if you've watched Linus Tech Tips videos for a while, you'll know this already, but because I found the, I found the tracking to feel sort of, um, a little bit laggy, there was some latency there that was bothering me, whereas the Naga, I have never had that problem, so it's, um, I mean, you can see that it's one of the ones that's actually on our gaming test bench, so we do actually use it, it's, uh, you can always tell when we pull something out, and it's sort of nearby and convenient, that it's something that we like and actually use day to day, so there you go. So let's have a look at what Razer includes, dominate the fields of justice with the Naga Hex, cool, okay, so there's a little card there, they're so good at packaging, giving you little, like, things that are sort of neat, changing the rubber thumb rest, okay, so there's a thumb rest in the middle, which you can apparently adjust to different side grips, right there, so you've got a larger one and a smaller one, and then it looks like the medium one comes equipped on the mouse, and this is smart, actually, for a reason that I'll explain in a moment, uh, we've got some Razer stickers, which are obviously pretty sweet, as well as the rest of their usual documentation, ah, yes, you get a free champion with the mouse, and since I don't need a League of Legends champion, I would be happy to give him to you guys, so you get a free Tryndamere, yay, first one to reclaim the code, gets it, there you go, enjoy, free giveaway for you guys there, alright, so what's good about the Naga Hex? First of all, it has the same shape as the original Naga, which I like, it's perfect for sort of smaller and smallish medium hands to be very nicely contoured, so you can see from both angles here, there's somewhere to rest your pinky, somewhere to rest your ring finger, places for your middle and index fingers, and of course, somewhere to put your thumb, I find for myself personally, this is the best ergonomic Razer mouse that I have used, and I've used pretty much all of them, I also really like this, this improvement on the Hex here, versus the original Naga, so people complain with the original Naga, that you would often accidentally hit these buttons when you're trying to lift the mouse off the surface, I personally never had that issue with it, but some people did, so what they've done is they've added this thumb rest right in the middle of your six buttons here, number one is that depending on what size you use, you can optimize it so that you can easily feel your way around these buttons, and number two is that also gives you a complete, a convenient place to hold the mouse, should you want to easily lift it off the table, so without using these two fingers at all, I can take the mouse, I can go like, hold on, there we go, yeah, I can go like this, without actuating any of those side buttons, I can move quite vigorously, so this is extremely handy, now in terms of mappings, similar to the original Naga, it looks like they've changed the pad on the bottom, so the original Naga had a ring shaped pad around the entire mouse, whereas the Hex version has got smaller pad feet that are here, these approaches look pretty similar to me, because the surface area, see it's quite thin around the edges here, looks pretty similar, they're going to take a long way to wear down either way, but there's selections here, you can either use the number pad to bind to these keys automatically, or you can use the number keys across the top of the keyboard, they both also include more support right around the sensor itself, it is a laser mouse, there you go, so there's that one on that one, right in the middle of the mouse, so it glides extremely smoothly, now in terms of buttons on this guy right here, there's the six on the side, so these are mechanical buttons, they've got a very satisfying click to them, whereas the original Naga didn't really have that click, it was a very very different feel, that are actually rated for up to 250 clicks per minute, which I think is actually pretty interesting, that's an awful lot of clicks, especially given that you'd never click one of the individual buttons 250 times a minute, unless, it's about five times a second on one button, so it's pretty much optimized for the most demanding workloads, I think as far as that goes, it does include support for Synapse 2.0, now Synapse originally, there were a lot of complaints about it, but Razer really addressed them with one of the most recent updates, so it's their cloud-based software that allows you to essentially store your profiles for your peripheral, and take them with you, because anytime you're connected to the internet, you log into your profile and it'll go boom, you're using your Razer peripherals, okay, these are all the settings that you like to use, so it's just a cloud-based thing, but originally, if you didn't log in, you wouldn't be able to even use the profiles on a peripheral that you'd already plugged in, so they've completely fixed that now, so it works even in offline mode, and it'll give you the most up-to-date ones, if you are not in offline mode, going back to the mouse, they've relocated two of the other buttons as well, so by default, these are your back and forward buttons on the original Naga, whereas now, instead of having two buttons up here, which I actually found were quite difficult to reach, particularly this one anyway, they've relocated them here in more like the traditional DPI sensor switching location that people are more used to seeing, whereas this is a bit of a... there's not that many mice that use this particular configuration. Did I mention already it has a 5600 DPI sensor? I hope I did. In terms of the rest of the looks, there hasn't really been that much that's changed, so instead of an illuminated Razer logo here, there's an illuminated League of Legends logo, which goes along with the co-branding of the mouse, as well as instead of a blue illuminated scroll wheel, they've gone with a yellow one instead, so we're going to go ahead and plug this in so you guys can get a good idea of what the mouse looks like once it lights up, and we're going to finish up with... a quick unboxing of the accompanying League of Legends Goliathus mouse pad. So there you go, it has some League of Legends artwork on it. It's also got sort of the usual things you've come to expect from any Goliathus mouse pad, so it has an anti-fray edge, so it's not going to, well, fray, although in my experience, usually even the ones that go straight to the edge with the regular mouse weave usually take two to three years to start, so it's not going to be a problem. Usually take two to three years to start fraying. It's got a nice rubber bottom on it, so, I mean, what is there to say about it? It has League of Legends graphics on it, it goes with your mouse, and it's made by Razer, so it's probably fine. It has a pretty tight weave, so it's a fairly smooth surface for a cloth pad, so personally I do prefer a bit of a less dense weave, but that comes down to the individual user's choice, and I think that pretty much wraps it up. Now it's come to my attention that you guys may not have seen the game code the first time around, so I'm just going to flash that one more time, and best of luck to whoever gets the barbarian there. Thank you for checking out, oh yeah, I think they're rated for, yeah, 10 million click life cycle for the buttons on the mouse, and I think that's everything that I wanted to say about it. Thanks for checking out this unboxing. Don't forget to subscribe to Linus Tech Tips for more unboxings, reviews, and other computer videos. And no, there was one more thing I wanted to say. There's 24 click spots. Razer, for whatever reason, calls that out. 24. We can count them together if you'd like, or we could just end the video now. Make sure you subscribe.
