The Razer Naga X is an excellent mouse for MMO gaming. It has a 12-button layout on its left side and a ton of programmable buttons, including the up/down scroll, the CPI button, and the right-click button. It's significantly lighter than other dedicated MMO gaming mice we've tested, so it's a great option if you mostly play MMOs but prefer a lighter-feeling mouse. It has a high maximum polling rate and its click latency is very good, although it isn't as low as the other Naga mice we've tested. It feels excellently-built, with no loose or squeaky parts. Like other Naga mice, it has a unique finger rest on its right side for your third finger to rest on. It's suitable for people with medium or large hands when used with a claw or palm grip; unfortunately, people with small hands may find it too big. Unlike the Razer Naga Pro and the Razer Naga Trinity, it doesn't have swappable side button panels and the Razer logo on the back isn't RGB-lit. Also, some people may be disappointed that there's only one CPI switching button since the most recent mice in the series had two.

Popular Mouse Comparisons
The Razer Naga X is an excellent MMO gaming mouse. It has 12 side buttons that should be easy to reach for medium and large hands. Although MMO mice tend to be on the heavier side, this one is surprisingly light in comparison. However, unlike the Razer Naga Pro and the Razer Naga Trinity, the X doesn't have swappable panels. Also, some gamers may be disappointed to find that it only has one CPI button instead of two like the other Naga mice, and it lacks RGB lighting on the Razer logo. For other options, see our recommendations for the best wired mouse, the best gaming mouse, and the best mouse. If you're interested in Razer products, also check out the best Razer mice.
The Razer Naga Trinity and the Razer Naga X are excellent MMO mice, but the Trinity's sensor performs better. The Trinity has more precisely adjustable CPI steps, a lower lift-off distance, and a much lower click latency. Also, it has three swappable panels with different button layouts to fit your needs for different types of games, while the X has the 12-button layout only. However, the X feels better built, its PTFE feet glide better, and it's significantly lighter, which is great if you're not a fan of heavy mice.
The Razer Naga X and the Razer Naga V2 HyperSpeed are MMO gaming mice with a similar shape and comparable gaming performance in the same lineup. The Naga X is an older wired-only model. It's significantly lighter and uses optical switches for its left-and right-click buttons. It also has RGB lighting. On the other hand, the Naga V2 HyperSpeed is a wireless model that uses AA batteries for power. It also has two additional buttons on the outside edge of the left-click button and uses mechanical switches. Its scroll wheel has left- and right-tilt inputs and a free-scrolling mode, which the Naga X lacks.
The Razer Naga Pro and the Razer Naga X are both excellent MMO mice. You can use the Pro wirelessly, and it performs better overall. You can adjust the Pro's CPI range more precisely, and its click latency is much lower. If you play various types of games, it has three swappable panels with different button layouts, while the X only has the 12-button one. However, if you don't like the feel of a heavy mouse, the X is significantly lighter.
The Razer Naga X and the Logitech G600 MMO Gaming are excellent MMO gaming mice, but the Logitech performs slightly better. While the Razer has a lower minimum CPI, the Logitech can be adjusted more precisely. Also, it has a lower lift-off distance, a lower click latency, and a much more consistent sensor. However, if you find the Logitech too heavy, the Razer is significantly lighter, and its PTFE feet glide much smoother.
