Description
Razer is the only company that makes left-handed MMO mice, so this is the one I use.
This is a mouse I've owned twice. The first time was in Brazil, around 2014 or 2015, when I had a Corsair keyboard. I sold it around 2017, because I wasn't using it as much as I wanted to, or it broke, I don't remember exactly what happened. When I went to look for it again in 2019 or 2020 it had been discontinued, so I bought a Corsair instead, a Scimitar if I'm not mistaken. I brought that one to Sweden and it eventually broke after a long time of use, and when I went back to look at the Razer, I found they had started making the left-handed one again because people kept asking for it. So I bought the original again.
Impressions
Every button on it is usable, and there are a lot of them: 12 on the side, two on top, the two normal ones, and a scroll wheel that tilts sideways as well as going up and down. It's super comfortable too.
Razer is one of the brands I don't like and I'm not a big fan, but they're very good at ergonomics and their mice are genuinely interesting. Even more so if you're right-handed, because on the Naga Pro you can swap the side panels, they're magnetic. They never did that for the left-handed one, which would have been very cool.
The cable is long, wrapped in some kind of fibre, polyester or whatever it is, and it's resistant and flexible. Easy to set up, nothing to complain about there.
The problem is the software. Like every gamer brand, to get the full power of the mouse you need their app, Synapse for Razer and iCUE for Corsair, so you end up with all of them installed unless you buy everything from one brand. Worse, and I only found this out much later, Razer doesn't do open firmware, so you can't configure the mouse outside the systems Synapse runs on. The LEDs you can do through OpenRGB, but the buttons, no, and you're left coming up with workarounds.
Right now I use keyd to translate the buttons, taking one and swapping it for a modifier. By default they go from 1 to 12, and 7, 8 and 9 carry media key functions on Linux, which makes it complicated. It works for now, but what I want to do is reverse engineer the device and see how it actually works.
Final thoughts
None of that gets in my way much, since I don't lean on those features. I have the mouse, I use the buttons, and it's very good for Tibia, Path of Exile, or any MMO where you need a lot of skills on hand.
Worth saying again: Razer is the only brand with a gaming mouse like this for left-handers. I looked a lot and I've never found another one. Logitech makes left-handed mice, but nothing with this many buttons. So if you're reading this and you work at one of those companies, or you know someone who does, please pass the feedback along.
