I now have one of these mice at home and one at work. It is extremely responsive and full featured as a gaming mouse, as I'm sure the name Razer would intend anyway, but its merits in the workplace should be mentioned as well.
I trust a gaming mouse more with comfort more than I would an ergonomic mouse designed for the workplace. Those mice are made to keep a person comfortable for 7 hours a day, but gaming mice are made to keep a person from feeling any fatigue for even those 16-hour-long gaming sessions. The naga fits my hand perfectly and does not cause any wrist issues, where as the OEM generic mice do.
The fact that this has 14 more buttons than a normal mouse does seem like a bit of overkill, but on the contrary, the extra buttons can come in very handy at times. With the drivers I installed (after downloading online so i got the most up-to-date version), I was able to create macros that helped speed up some of the tasks I do - for example, i set some buttons to page through excel spreadsheets faster. I also set some of them to work as shortcuts in my development IDE. Granted the mouse's macro software could get much easier to use, but it still is very handy after getting the hang of working with it.
Really, Razer is missing out on a lot of sales by not having a separate site that markets their gaming devices to those in the business crowd.
So take it from an old gamer whos been there and done that. This mouse was done right. It will feel weird at first but your hand will naturally mold to it over a couple days and youll be amazed. Worth every penny..and i dont say that much!
So, all in all, if you're a major nerd like me who loves his MMOs and are tired of not being able to quickly and easily have all your abilities accessible, this is the mouse for you. It takes about a week to fully adjust I found, they include "training wheel" adhesive nubs to help you out and your mouse is fully customizable. It's really a beautiful product... you will literally only need your keyboard for Shift, Control and typing now. It looks intimidating at first, but trust me, you will not regret it.
