My name is Zackery Cuevas, and I’m a PCMag analyst who specializes in computer peripherals like mice and keyboards. I gained my expertise by playing a lot of computer games, specifically MMO games like Final Fantasy XIV. 

Any gaming mouse can work for an MMO, but there are plenty of excellent MMO-specific mice to choose from. And while I haven’t reviewed the Razer Naga V2 Pro HyperSpeed, I did review its predecessor, the Razer Naga V2 Pro, and it was my go-to MMO mouse for years. The HyperSpeed builds on what made the V2 Pro so appealing, and at 40% off, it makes for a great Prime Day deal, too.

The Naga V2 Pro is an impressive mouse, launched in 2022. It is equipped with Razer’s 30K Focus Pro Sensor, which allows for a high 30,000dpi resolution. It's a blessing when you’re repositioning during fights in MMOs, but also means the mouse is pretty adept at first-person shooters as well. The ergonomic sculpt of the mouse feels excellent in hand, and with the use of the optional Razer HyperPolling Dongle, the Naga V2 Pro can reach a polling rate of 4,000Hz.

The Naga V2 HyperSpeed adds Razer’s HyperSpeed Wireless 2.4GHz connection, which grants the mouse both ultra-low latency and long battery life. Over a Bluetooth connection, the mouse promises 400 hours of playtime, while using the HyperSpeed dongle can net you 250 hours. That's great for long hours of level grinding between quests.

But the Naga sets itself apart from other gaming mice thanks to the number pad on its side. With an additional 12 buttons, gamers can get lost in the weeds, tweaking advanced macros and adding other functionality to their mouse.

The Naga V2 Pro HyperSpeed is not without some downsides. It doesn’t support the HyperPolling Dongle to increase the mouse’s polling rate. It’s not modular either—it only comes equipped with a 12-digit numberpad, while the Naga V2 Pro comes with faceplates better suited for MOBAs and traditional shooters. However, the Naga V2 Pro HyperSpeed includes what matters most at a price of $99, and thanks to Prime Day, you can knock off an additional 40%.

My Experience

I’m a PCMag reviewer and ISF-certified TV calibrator focused on computer accessories, laptops, gaming monitors, and video games. I’ve been writing, playing, and complaining about games for as long as I remember, but it wasn’t until recently that I’ve been able to shout my opinions directly at a larger audience. My work has appeared on iMore, Windows Central, Android Central, and TWICE, and I have a diverse portfolio of editing work under my belt from my time spent at Scholastic and Oxford University Press. I also have a few book-author credits under my belt—I’ve contributed to the sci-fi anthology Under New Suns, and I’ve even written a Peppa Pig book.

The Technology I Use

My rig consists of an Intel Core i7-10700K processor, a GeForce RTX 3060 graphics card, and 16GB of DDR4 RAM. I also use an Alienware AW3225QF 4K QD-OLED monitor, a SteelSeries Apex Pro Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, and a Razer Basilisk V3 Pro 35K mouse. For work, I use the Razer BlackWidow V4 Pro 75% keyboard and the Logitech MX Master 3S mouse. When I’m not on my main computer, you’ll find me cycling among my Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X.

In addition to my physical gear, I use Google Drive heavily to keep track of all my writing and Dungeons & Dragons campaigns. I’m an iPhone user, but aside from my Powerbeats Pro Wireless Earbuds, I’ve largely avoided being sucked too deeply into Apple’s ecosystem (at least right now). I do my best to remain platform-agnostic.

That said, I’ve been a Nintendo fanboy since the N64, though my first console was the Sega Genesis. I love retro gaming and own a wide variety of classic consoles, including a Nintendo Entertainment System, a Super Nintendo, a GameCube, a Wii, multiple older PlayStations (1, 2, and 3), an Xbox 360, and a Sega Dreamcast.
