Gaming is about to get a whole lot better for those who frequently play MMOs and MOBAs like World of Warcraft, Heroes of the Storm, and the like. Razer has announced upgrades to both the Razer Naga MMO gaming mouse and the Razer Tartarus gaming keypad, both featuring even more customization than ever.
“Customization is what sets our peripherals apart from the competition,” says Min-Liang Tan, Razer co-founder and CEO. “This mouse and keypad adapts to you: your game and your playstyle. From World of Warcraft to Heroes of the Storm, these peripherals put the controls in your hands the way you want it.”
Both the Razer Naga Trinity and Razer Tartarus are powered by Razer Chroma with up to 16.8 million color options. All configurations are handled by the Razer Synapse 3 (Beta) software which offers an array of button remapping, surface calibration, and Razer Chroma lighting effects.
Razer Naga Trinity
The Razer Naga Trinity is the ninth iteration of the Razer Naga gaming mouse family and comes with a modular style. The new style allows gamers to swap out three interchangeable side plates. The original 12-button grid can be used for MMOs like World of Warcraft.

While each side plate offers a number of different configuration options, when used with the 12-button side plate, the Razer Naga Trinity offers up to 19 different customizable buttons. The latest gaming mouse from Razer also comes with a 5G, true 16,000 DPI optical sensor with 450 IPS.
