Razer Naga Mouse (2009)
Razer Naga Mouse (Year 2009)
Razer is the first to have created a mouse with a phone key-pad for the thumb, the Naga MMOG mouse. It came out in 2009.
At first i thought this would be the most stupid idea. I thought that, some geek thought more button is better, so jam'd the mouse with cellphone number keys. The result would be very painful to use. However, from reading amazon.com's reviews, apparently it is usable.
After reading and watching many reviews, this is actually a very good mouse. Half of the buttons can be operated by touch easily.
When this mouse first came out in 2009, the number keys are not programable. They are simply the same as the number keys on number pad (so, you program the number pad keys instead). But with version 2 of driver, they are programable now! So, a mouse with truely 17 programable buttons. That's fantastic.
