Razer SW:TOR Edition Wireless Gaming Mouse Review

It’s not often you get a top end wireless mouse that has performance to match, so reviewing this mouse has made for a nice change. That said, it is a perfect example of the performance/cheap/design rule: basically, you can only ever pick two out of the three, so you can have a cheap and decent performing mouse, but the design will be crap. With the SW:TOR Naga, you have decent performance and great design, so with an RRP of around £130, you can wave goodbye to the cheap option. To 99% of gamers out there, this price makes the mouse very undesirable, so only that only leaves the gamers with bottomless wallets or the hardcore Star Wars fans, which this mouse would be perfect for.

Performance wise, the mouse was exceptional across all the different genres except FPS where some noticeable input lag did make it slightly difficult to clock up the frags. With a bit of further tweaking and testing this could probably be avoided, although for the time being, we’re not going to let it stop us from playing FPS games. It is ideal for RTS games and of course, MMOs/RPGs where it performs superbly in SW:TOR, which would be silly if it didn’t as that is the main game the mouse was designed for.

Having the wireless functionality means having to include a transmitter and a battery that did increase the weight to an almost off-putting level for us, although as we did say, we like to have light mice, so this is purely down to preference. The ability to use the mouse wired and retain the charging ability was a great touch to add, which meant no downtime if we had to charge the mouse. The battery lasted a decent length of time, meaning we never actually had a point where we had to either connect the cable or charge it on it’s dock.

Overall Razer have created a great looking Star Wars product that has performance to match. It has great features – whilst some might be a little gimmicky (changeable emblem), but overall they improve the usability and  with decent wireless functionality and different charging methods, they really have produced a great mouse. Whilst the price is almost insane for a mouse, if you can afford it and you are a die hard Star Wars fan, then this is the mouse for you. So since we are big fans of the Star Wars scene and have had a great experience with the SW:TOR edition Naga, we’re happy to let our nerdy side get the better of us and award the mouse with the prestigious…
