Razer has equipped the second generation of the Naga Pro (test), which has three modular side panels, with a comprehensively configurable mouse wheel. Technically, the upgrade follows the development of the Viper V2 Pro (test), DeathAdder V3 Pro (test) and Basilisk V3 Pro and thus introduces a new sensor.
A fully customizable mouse wheel for the module mouse
The basic conception of the Naga Pro with three side panels for 2, 6 or 12 additional buttons on the left flank is unchanged. The same applies to the two buttons on the back of the mouse. The four-way mouse wheel, however, has undergone far-reaching adjustments: not only can it be freely adjusted, as was the case with the Basilisk V3 Pro or Logitech's G502 series, for example, but it can also be configured in numerous parameters, resulting in 6 different modes.

Razer calls the technology “HyperScroll Pro Wheel”. Specifically, in addition to a conventional standard mode, there is the “Distinct” mode with a “distinctive grid for very precise inputs”, which, according to Razer, is intended to prevent accidental scrolling, and the “Ultrafine” mode for a “maximum number of delicate scrolling steps”. , which in turn is suitable for repeating predefined actions and macros. In addition, adaptive scrolling can be set, in which the resistance of the mouse wheel decreases the faster it is rotated. And a completely freely rotating mode is offered again.
Finally, the final configuration option is a custom mode that offers “nearly unlimited customization,” Razer explains. The mouse wheel can be configured in terms of resistance, the number of scroll steps and the force curve between steps; You can choose between liquid and tactile scrolling with 8 to 96 steps. You can also adjust how the grid feels between the individual steps. However, Razer does not reveal how all this is technically implemented – a magnetic implementation is conceivable, similar to that used in Logitech's MX Master 3S (test); but that's just speculation.

Otherwise, the Naga V2 Pro currently has the best mouse sensor in the form of the PixArt PAW-3950, which is exclusively available to Razer for the time being. Razer's third-generation opto-mechanical switches are used for the left and right mouse buttons, and the wireless connection is implemented either via 2.4 GHz radio with a USB query rate of 1,000 Hertz or via Bluetooth. In the first case, the battery life is around 150 hours – but presumably not with fully activated RGB lighting – and in the second up to 300 hours. Charging is via USB-C cable or via the separately available Mouse Dock Pro, which Razer first introduced with the Basilisk V3 Pro.
The manufacturer apparently does without an alternative wireless connection with 4,000 Hertz via Razer's HyperPolling Wireless Dongle (test), which is available separately and integrated into the Mouse Dock Pro. With an MMO mouse, however, such a high polling rate is far less necessary than with a shooter mouse. The same applies to a low mass, but the Naga V2 Pro is still very thick: With a weight of 134 grams instead of 117 grams in the case of the Naga Pro, the input device goes in the opposite direction of the trend towards ever lighter mice. The 6-mode mouse wheel most likely contributes a not insignificant part to this.
The price is extremely high
According to Razer, the Naga V2 Pro is available now. The recommended retail price is almost unrivaled at 200 euros, even said Basilisk V3 Pro is 20 euros cheaper without a docking station. This makes the new MMO input device the most expensive machine-made series gaming mouse on the market.
