Razer - Naga Trinity

Ive been running the Razer Naga for years, it's just part of my setup now. Had the first wireless model 10 years ago but batteries back then weren't too great so had to use it plugged in all the time, then grabbed the wired model. and now taking the leap and trying wireless again. suits my hand size pretty well and can swap sideplates to suit different games

As a many-years MMORPG player (Lineage2, Mu Online, WoW), cRPG fan and owner of G700 and G602 (and now Roccat Kone XP as g700 replacement) i never understood this love for Razer's Naga (which i had for a brief moment) and its children. Four buttons is max which thumb can use effectively (fast and without any thinking about function or its placement). You add more and you loose the benefits because of poor mnemonics and (later) egonomics (cant reach all of them effectively). Its like typing with pointing finger only - you can be fast and quite effective but never as fast and without looking at keyboard as when you use all fingers. So 4 for thumb, 3 for pointing finger (including LMB), 2 for middle (including RMB) and two small are for grip - thats the most reasonable setup for a mouse. If you want more buttons just use keypads with WASD on a stick -> Razer Tartarus, Hori TAC, so you don't have to use 3 fingers for movement (just 1) and can use them on other functions. I own two PZ31a's since 2007, a year ago i bought Hori TAC PS5 and recently i even created my own such device with RP2040 Zero - 1 joystick + 25 keys + 4 buttons as pedals and its more than enough for most of games (even STALKER GAMMA which is most key-demanding game ive played recently). Its still in prototype phase (some changes have to be made) but it already works perfectly. Way better than trying to cramp all keys on a mouse which is a device not designed for that.

Wife and I both use a naga I've got fairly large hands she's got tiny hands and she's had zero issues. The problem is trying to find the naga at a good price and I heard the newer versions break quick. Ours are several years old so hoping they continue chugging along.

Naga and keybind mousewheel left/right to ctrl/shift, movement might be tough

What?! My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined. It's my favorite mouse to date and Im now scared of the day it dies.

You will not get the best of both worlds depending on what you want from the productivity side. Does your workflow require or utilize more buttons? Do you care about weight when youre playing games? If the answer is yes, you should just get two cheaper seperate mice. Im sure people will give you good gaming specific reccomendations so I wont get into them. I use a lot of keybinds for productivity to accelerate my workflow, and thats only possible with mice that have more than two side buttons, I've found a few that sort of work for both gaming and productivity: - The G502x is a good balance, but its as heavy as a brick which is fine for some games but I find uncomfortable for FPS. - Lightweight MMO mice like the Steelseries Aerox 9 are great if you need the buttons, and its lightweight but its not suitable for a claw grip let alone a fingertip grip. - The razer Naga has variants with swappable side buttons and depending on your hand they may be suitable grip wise, but id sooner drink paint than recommend them with their issues and they are not worth the cost. I can keep listing reccomendations, but you'll find drawbacks and negatives that will significantly degrade your end experience trying to have a one mice fits all solution, you will constantly be trading away things and in my opinion - no options exist that I can say is worth $150 in value. 2x $75 mice will get you very far, especially in todays markets where Chinese mice are on par if not better than mainstream options in many instances. Ive settled on the G502x for work. The side buttons and the index finger buttons are very useful, but more importantly the scroll wheel has a button to switch to a free spinning wheel, and has side tilt buttons - those two things alone make it extremely useful if you utilize them.

Razer Naga. My first one I used for about 11 years almost everyday use. Recently got a new one just to update it. Still a great mouse.

I have been using a Razer Naga for years. The numpad on the side is hard to replace.

Naga feels the best, razer sucks though

fwiw every Naga I've owned has died in under a year and I will probably never purchase another Razer product. But I do think the build felt pretty nice in the hand.

ga jauh" dari mouse buat MMO sih, yang paling gampang kesebut sih razer naga sama corsair scimitar. ato kalo mau lebih bulky lagi ukurannya ke rog spatha (kalo masih ada yang jual)

Make sure it's actually dead. I had the same issue and I was about to toss my naga but my friend told me he had the same issue and it was one of the razer drivers and it works, no more double clicks.

The Scimitar isn't exactly uncomfortable but the texture was odd after the smoothness of the naga. The naga is better for smaller hands imo. The naga is lighter which I prefer, but some people like a weightier mouse. My Scimitar got an occasional weird double click issue after about 8 months and the software profiling is a little finicky and can sometimes get wiped randomly after 'upgrades'. But mine was decent enough. I didn't hate it, I just preferred the naga so I went back to it.

Naga is better for small hands. The Scimitar is pretty bulky. Otherwise, I agree.

On all my toons I bind movement speed to the mouse wheel tilt so that was important to me too. The Logitech G604 also has decent side buttons (6 + 2 top) and mouse wheel tilt... Logitech discontinued it last year though so when mine dies I'm probably going to have to go back to Naga, which I got the Logitech to avoid since my Nagas kept breaking.

Yeah that seems to be the consensus I guess I need to figure those out. I have a wired razer Naga Trinity but it uses the software.

I tried using a different one for a while but switched back to the Naga after not being able to live without the side numpad

The first razar naga mouse was well built lasted me 15 years, I've broke 2 razer chromers in half that time

your best bet is to go to a local electronics store like Best Buy if you can. if you're lucky they will have display mice out you can try out. the only real recommendation is to get an "mmo mouse", that is, a mouse with 12 buttons on the side. other than that the best one to get is the one that feels best in your hand. everyone has their own experiences with durability. I know many hate on the naga for not being durable, but I've used the naga for 13 years now and am on my 3rd, granted I can also be a bit rough with them. I use them entirely because they feel extremely good in my hand, whereas the competitors like the corsair and logitech just don't feel right.

Thanks for the heads up am considering replacing mine atm nce its breaking down.

The G604 was a game changer for me. I just couldn't play GW2 without it anymore. The right click switch has been dying for a couple of years now. And I recently switched to the Razer Naga since G604 is sadly no longer in production.

How did I not find/consider this mouse when looking? I basically ended up deciding between razer naga and corsair scimitar as the only wireless 12-grid options and went with the Naga just because all the reports about iCue being terrible. And Synapse has improved a lot over the years (it was a lot buggier some yeara ago in my experience). This looks like a solid option though, not as ridiculously priced as the others.

Scimitar 4th year no problems. But Razer Naga is solid.

You can't buy a razer naga trinity anymore, they discontinued it :( I've had one for the last 15 years and they only now stopped doing the ones with 6/7 buttons on the side

I've used a Naga for over 10 years and I can't go back to a regular mouse. I have used it in every game I play. My keyboard is for movement and menus, nothing else.
