Overall Impression

A major weight reduction that changes how the Naga feels to use. Multiple users highlight that the Naga X drops to about 85g, roughly 30% lighter than the Naga Trinity, making it far more comfortable for long sessions and even usable for FPS by some. Users with RSI specifically switched to the X because the Trinity's weight was too much, calling it a huge step up for long-term comfort.

Optical switches finally solve the notorious double-click problem. Long-time Naga owners repeatedly mention that older Nagas used Omron mechanical switches prone to double-clicking and failure, and welcome the Naga X's optical switches as a real fix. Some still report left-click issues on individual units, but many describe the switch change as one of the most important upgrades in the lineup, alongside a more flexible SpeedFlex cable.

Removing the tilt-wheel and extra buttons splits opinion sharply. Several commenters call losing the tilt-scroll wheel and forward/back side buttons a dealbreaker, saying they'd rather buy the Trinity at the same price. Others don't miss it, noting the tilt wheels on older models felt wobbly and broke easily, and prefer reassigning DPI or macro functions to the remaining 12 thumb buttons instead.

Users consistently praise the Naga X's 85g weight, about 30% lighter than the Trinity, as a major upgrade for comfort and long sessions. Some switched specifically for RSI relief or to make the Naga usable for faster-paced games.

@SaltyMaud

I've used nagas for half a decade, and scimitar another half. Now back to Naga X simply because it's the first mmo mouse that isn't a brick... I also _much_ prefer the naga shape over everything else. Scimitar shape is its biggest problem, it just sits sideways in my hand and it keeps bugging me even after years of using it. Contrary to your opinion, I also find the scimitar thumb buttons little bit more difficult to navigate, especially the middle buttons (2,5,8,11). They are flat. Thumbs are big. It's much easier to fatfinger something like 4+5 when you're going for 5 on the scimitar. On recent nagas the center line has the opposite side of the key raised and it gives a strong tactile cue to where your thumb is and avoids accidentally thumbing the buttons to the side. That to me is absolutely much more valuable than the texture difference between odd and even rows. Little pet peeve, but I also absolutely hate the rubber ring finger rest on the scimitar... it's impossible to keep clean, being rubber is wears out and just feels kinda nasty. Scimitar cable is also straight from 2010 and very stiff, it needs to be modded out with something usable. Same story with stock feet, they are not amazing.\n\nScimitar is definitely well built though. I'm on my 4th naga of my naga career. I hope Razer QC is better nowadays, but it certainly wasn't great back in the days, only time will well. My scimitar only started failing after 4 years, so it was my longest lived mmo mouse as well. I also prefer the corsair software. It's slow and bloated, but has more powerful macros. But for me, naga is the way to go, especially with the naga x being the first mmo mouse that doesn't weigh a ridiculous amount and now comes with a somewhat decent stock cable (and feet) too. Oh, and Naga X happens to be currently on sale, $39,99 on amazon.
