The 6-button and 2-button side panels felt the most comfortable and practical as there is enough room between the buttons for precise clicks. The 12-button layout is a bit tricky to use and can take some time getting used to. The Naga Pro felt very responsive with no noticeable lags or delays in wired and 2.4Ghz Hyperspeed mode. However, we did notice occasional lags on Bluetooth mode.
