Hey thank you for all the welcomes!

Day one and you're less newbie than me... Welcome :D

 

How do you like your Razer products?

I love all my Razer stuff, nice look, feel, response times, everything I really need plus some when playing games. The Synapse 2.0 software that configures all the settings/macros all that stuff is okay, back a few months ago was having some issues updating, but other than that its been great. The Naga's 12 buttons on the side is kinda overkill imo, i only use at tops 1-9 when playing sc2 or dota. I only use buttons 10-12 for alt f4 macros for PoE lol. I had a Razer Deathadder for about 7 years got it when it first came out in 2007, so that really made me stick with Razer products.
