razer naga epic vs cyborg r.a.t 9?

both 5600dpi
but the razer you can use wired or wirless so i dunno :s

what u guys think

 

Going to give you my honest opinion. Neither. (PS: the RAT 9 is just a wireless version of the RAT7, which is wired)

I've used the Razer Imperator for about half a year, and it started to crap out before I could find a replacement (which was the R.A.T 7, which is the same as the 9, only wired). It would occasionally stop responding, and I would have to unplug and replug it back in to get it to work, and as with anything relying on luck, this happened at the worst times while gaming. It was comfortable, but this coupled with the fact that a Razor keyboard (the Lycosa, fyi) also crapped out on me in the same time frame, I am put off from buying Razor anymore, and I try to advise others (the keyboard died slowly, certain keys where no longer responding at all, and it suffered the same plug/replug issue as the mouse).

I currently use the RAT7, and although the "uptime" is 100%, it suffers it's own slew of problems that are only apparent after awhile. Firstly, it is a very bad mouse to play on a cloth pad because of the way it is built. It doesn't have the necessary support to be accurate. What I mean is that, holding the mouse still and clicking fast enough will move the pointer, and if you do it long enough it will travel from the top of the screen to the bottom in a slight diagonal (the problem is less pronounced on a hard mousepad, but still there). If I go back to my old Logitech Mx518 and do this, the pointer does not move a single pixel. The reason for this is the way the sensor works (I don't know if it's optical or laser, not bothered to check right now). It (just like the Imperator, but it worked better with regards to this) senses depth in a very sensitive manner, and because of the way it is built (I mentioned before of the structure), when you click the mouse depresses a bit, but it is enough for the sensor to pick up the dip in height and move the pointer. It's very pronouced on both these mouses when you lift the mouse to move it, instead of the pointer not moving or shaking slightly, it will always move diagonally towards the bottom right, since the laser (I'm assuming) is on an angle. I do absolutely love the feel of it though.

After awhile using the RAT7, I find that it's too heavy (even without the weights) to be accurate on a hard mat (personal style), but with the extra depression on a cloth mat, it loses pointer accuracy when you click (versus the extra control from using a cloth mat, which i find I prefer after a year of trial on a hardmat, the destructor from Razer).

I hope this at least helps you decide on a mouse, and although I can't speak specifically for the Naga, I would absolutely not EVER recommend a Razor product to anyone.

I'm currently looking for a replacement, and I've got my eye on Steelseries due to them having an exceptional reputation for build quality (my cloth mat is a steelseries QCX or whatever it's called).

I hope this wall of text didn't put you off from reading, and making a good choice. Try available mouses out at your local best buy, but I honestly find I can't work out the quirks without spending a few months on one (and most reviews only deal with initial impressions of a few days/weeks at most).

Cheers

 

They really aren't made for the same purposes, so it's up to you.

They're both wireless and with more DPI than you'll need. The Naga is great if you need a ridiculous amount of buttons (good for RPG's, RTS and stuff like that, with a lot of macros and binds). The R.A.T. 9 is highly adjustable, but beyond that, doesn't really offer anything terribly unique in terms of actual mouse functionality.
