Razer Naga Trinity Gaming Mouse: 16,000 DPI Optical Sensor - Chroma RGB Lighting - Interchangeable Side Plate w/ 2, 7, 12 Button Configurations - Mechanical Switches

A little background as a purchaser/reviewer of products:Having owned a RΛZΞR mouse since the original Naga was introduced until it got worn out from usage and then I had to get a Hex v2 to replace it because you couldn't buy the old naga anymore. Now I got the Naga Trinity. A quick wiki search tells me there have been nine iterations in the Naga series, not counting the redesigned versions and I must say I have never not liked one of my MMO/MOBA mice from RΛZΞR. And I'm not one of them gamer lifestyle junkies or uber Razer fanboys that goes out and buys everything chroma and wears their clothing or nothing. In fact, I actually own plenty of varying brands across my gaming peripherals including Corsair, Logitech, etc. I just like Razers products when it comes to their M+K options. Mice specifically being reviwed here, because they are quality and I trust them as one of the premier gaming hardware manufacturing companies. There are many of these brands out there for PC to choose from these days but Razer is right at the top IMHO..The mouse:After years of using the original Naga, then Hex v2, and now Naga Trinity I got use to this style of mouse configuration and how the ergonomics or placement of your hand sits on them. It rests a little differently so you might feel awkward at first but trust me you will get use to it with repitition in no time.I liked to keep my muscle memory the same so when my original Naga wore out I looked for another. I ended up going with Hex v2 because the Naga had been phased out with the emergence of popular MOBA's they redesigned it a little bit. I was reluctant to buy that one because i wanted my 12 buttons in 3x4 pattern not the circular 7 buttons. But I got use to it and it sufficed until the Trinity was released.Once the Trinity came out it gives you the best of all worlds really. You can swap out the side button options to what you prefer or need for any specific game you want to play. Or any program you wanna use your mouse with (non-gaming).Which brings me to my next point in Razer mice. They have top notch lasers in them, very accurate. While the implications for gaming are obvious here just as a everyday mouse for anyone using a PC they are worthy of a purchase. They last a long time. Tons of clicks and scrolls on the scroll wheel before they wear down and need to be replaced. Talking years of usage. And I'm a heavy PC user. Not just for games either. Once you use it awhile the tactile feel of the mouse scroll does go away but everything functions fine still. I actually prefer getting them worn in tbh.Lastly, I'm one of the people who actually has no gripes about their hardware configuration tool Synapse. It works flawlessly for me and wasn't that hard to learn either. The tool offers a lot of customization for what each button on the mouse does what even letting you keybind a custom function like Shift+Q to a single button press if you wanna get complex. Also want to point out that on the bottom of this mouse there is a button that quickly swaps profiles so you can set up a profile for each game you are playing. or some MMO games you play different class/job so you can have a different profile and have the buttons do something else on each. Customizing and keybinding to your hearts desire really. Then of course the Synapse has the DPI options and the superfluous stuff like lighting options which is nice and I get why they include it but not wholly needed.All in all you won't be disappointed by this mouse. No matter if you play MMO's/MOBA's/Shooters/or don't game at all. I almost bought two just because i know when it wears out years down the road I'm just going to want to replace it with another one.

I'll start by saying that this review pains me to make, because I *loved* this mouse while it worked properly, but here we are...Here's the good — it feels great. I used this paired with a Firefly v2 hard mat, and it glides perfectly smooth across it. It has a great weight to it, but some may not like it as much, depending on the mat you use, and the ergonomics are simple, yet very nice. The interchangeable side panels' buttons are well-placed and are not too clicky or too stiff, and switching the plates is a breeze while also registering the new plate settings instantly.And the bad — As cool as the plates are, they don't work as intended for much time. I think I had this for a few months before the plates would quit registering inputs sometimes. On the number pad, for instance, numbers 1,3,5,6, and 7 might work, but 2,4,8,9,0, etc. might fail. It was a simple fix though, only requiring you tale the plate completely off and putting it back on. It didn't stop there though, and about a year or so after buying it, the plates completely stopped working. I tried reinstalling the software, but ironically, Razer does not list the firmware for this mouse on their site. They list the Naga Pro, but not the Trinity.Unfortunately, it's not just me having this issue. All over the internet, there are forums and comments about this exact issue, and Razer has seemingly yet to address it. I'm not about to spend $100 to find out either, so oh well.I've decided to retire it for now and maybe see if it works with my laptop, but I'm left very sad about it. My new Corsair Scimitar Elite is pretty cool though, so hopefully I'll get over it soon.Final words to sum things up — GREAT idea, but the horrible, horrible quality control keeps that idea from a reasonable execution, unless you like buying a new mouse once or twice a year...

I've had a Naga Trinity for years and it's been the best mouse I've ever used. Size is just right, it has a comfortable feel in your hand, good for palm as well as claw grip. The changeable side panels are a great addition, I find myself using the 7 digit circle panel the most. And if you're like me and don't like wireless mice, you'll be happy because the Trinity has a very nice cable that I've never worried about breaking.The only downside I have is that the left click has worn out and is becoming unreliable. This is after over four years of daily use though, so I think it's understandable. My replacement Naga Trinity should arrive tomorrow, hopefully it'll still be around the next time I need a new mouse.
