I just require accuracy in my peripherals. I don't need an LCD or some macro buttons, or any fluff features. Gimme a nice mechanical keyboard, and a mouse with a flawless sensor (probably at least 5 buttons too), and I'm good to go.
It happened to me after about 2 years of owning my first Naga. I just bought a new one. 2 years is pretty good compared to most mice I've owned.

I need side buttons on my mice. A minimum of 3 on the side, but realistically, I like 6-8 side buttons. The Naga is my best bet for that. I'm willing to deal with having to buy a new one every 2 years in order to get that functionality.
'Twas a cutlass swipe or an ounce of lead
Or a yawing hole in a battered head
And the scuppers clogged with rotting red
And there they lay I damn me eyes

Mm well I used to have around 35 keybinds on my Mage when I still played, though I had somewhat situational stuff bound as well like food and flask. Macros take lots of room though, without them would probably be around 20-24 binds.
Anyways on topic, yes Naga is a bit odd piece of kit.. My 2nd one has been operational for 2 years now.. For the first year it ran pretty much flawlessly, then few months ago it ran into some problems with first double clicks and then forward button stopped working. And now with nothing done.. everything is working again. In all honesty though if the left click would die soon, I wouldn't be surpriced, cause it has been used hard(my Wiz is D3 used to be CMWW ).
I bought my Razer 1½ year ago and it has worked perfectly ever since. I never had a mouse working this long before.
If yours is out of warrenty the double click is pretty easy to fix I've done it to mine instead of the cleaner he used I used WD:40

I use one exclusively for MMOs, but I do quite wish they'd make them with better sensors. There's tons of mice out there based on the Avago ADNS laser (positive acceleration issues) or the Phillips Twin Eye (Z-Axis issues), and they all suck at properly tracking for fast paced shooters or high-apm strategy games. That's why I use my Deathadder. Zero tracking issues.
Bring back optical sensors. =(

I couldnt find any way to fix mine so I had to go buy a new one
I can never go back to using another mouse, having the numpad on the side has been awesome! I even use it for work.
I literally just replaced by Razer Imperator for this exact same issue. Apparently, there's a little bent copper piece under the clicking mechanism that slowly straightens out over time, and fails to make proper contact when you click.
Personally, I think Razer designs their mice to fail this way so people will have to buy more of them. See: Planned Obsolesence
There's no reason why I should have to replace an $80 mouse within a year and a half, especially considering how careful and meticulous I am with my equipment.
To solve the issue, I just went to Wal-Mart and bought a random $25 wireless mouse that has a similar button setup to the Imperator. It doesn't have the best tracking, but I guarantee you it will last me far longer than any Razer product could.
Moved this to the Computer sub-forum.
The double click issue is fairly common with the Naga. Mine started doing that and I replaced it with my Logitech G600, which also started doing the same thing until I uninstalled the Logitech software. If you absolutely need the extra buttons, I would suggest the 600, otherwise I'd suggest saving the extra cost and grabbing something a little simpler.
Been using my 2014 edition for roughly 8 months now, not a single problem.

When I had a Razer Naga I had this happen to me, I fixed it by opening it up and spraying electrical contact spray on the clicker button. It made it last about another 5 or so months but like every month I had to open it back up and spray more on the button then it just stopped working completely after 5 months.
Only issue I have had with my naga is that when I use the scroll-wheel button to open links in new tabs. It sometimes opens up 1-2 additional ones, slightly annoying.
But otherwise, no issues.
