I own a Razer Naga Epic Chroma.
Last week (after ~one year of ownership) the mouse just wouldn't charge the battery (when ran with the cable attached). It charges only when i put it in the dock.
It does not work with the cable attached to it. So i decided to open it up.
I found that the resistor on the board where the cable connector is (L4 in the picture) blew up.

Now i definitely know Razer uses premium quality parts hence the expensive gear.
STAY AWAY for your own sake !!!!
PS, i'm pretty sure the elite controller isn't fully mechanical. thumbstick covers make a world of difference on my Xbox One controller :)
