The Razer Naga Trinity has been at the top of our best gaming mice list for years now as an MMO/MOBA option, and with the Trinity as its foundation, Razer has kept the basics intact and added some smart new tricks.

The Naga Pro gets rid of the cable for Bluetooth connectivity with the Razer HyperSpeed Wireless. It also has optical mouse switches and a 20,000 DPI sensor, but at US$149.99 (£149.99), $50 more than the Trinity. Is it worth it. Yes, it is. At least for very specific gamers.

The overall design of the Naga Pro is similar to the Trinity, but a bit heavier to accommodate the new technology; the Naga Pro is 7mm wider and 117g heavier than the Trinity, but glides smoothly on most surfaces thanks to the 100% PTFE foot. The larger mouse requires a full palm grip with my long hands, which takes some getting used to. However, the contoured mouse buttons and the rest for the ring finger make it easier to hold. The textured rubber grips for the thumb and pinky also help.

I'm a fan of Razer's optomechanical switches, which recognize clicks with light instead of mechanics; Razer claims 0.2ms speed, and I felt it with Doom and Valorant. Of course, the Naga Pro has plenty of other buttons as well.

The three interchangeable plates have 2, 6, and 12 buttons that can be remapped as desired; one notable change on the Naga Pro is a more traditional 6-button layout, rather than the radial layout used on the Naga Trinity. It also helps that replacing the plate is as easy as prying it off with a fingernail. They snap into place with a magnet.

Remapping the buttons on the Razer Synapse is simple point-and-click child's play. From simple keyboard shortcut bindings to complex game macros, you can adjust DPI stages, polling rates, lift-off, power management, and of course Razer Chroma lighting. Settings are stored in the Naga Pro's onboard memory, so they work exactly as they would on another machine. The saved DPI presets can be toggled with the step switch behind the scroll wheel. I'm not one to fiddle with mouse buttons, but I was really surprised at how easy it was.

Of course, there is no point if there is lag. Thankfully, the HyperSpeed Wireless did not disappoint; I used vsynctester.com to quickly measure lag and was very impressed. The test records the speed of the cursor's reaction to mouse movements. In wired mode, the HyperSpeed Wireless recorded 6 ms, compared to 6.1 ms, a difference of 0.1 ms. Bluetooth was slower by 4 to 6 ms, but only those with a keen eye would notice this in everyday use.

The Naga Pro's optical sensor has also been updated to a Razer Focus+ 20,000 DPI sensor with 650 IPS tracking. I am not a professional gamer, but I am a professional designer who is obsessed with pixel perfection, and the Naga Pro has provided a smooth and accurate experience in my many adventures with the Adobe Creative Suite.

Now, with all this technical wizardry, battery life is a legitimate concern, but Razer's claim of 150 hours of battery life proved to be true. I have been using this review unit for the past week, averaging 14 hours daily, and the battery still has about 35% remaining. I have played games, worked on designs, and switched between wireless and Bluetooth many times.

And even if the battery should run out, you can connect the included USB-A cable to keep playing while charging. However, for such a high-end mouse, it is puzzling that Razer does not include the excellent Razer Mouse Dock.

There's a terminal for that, and just putting the Naga Pro on it every night reduces battery worries; the Pro version already pays a premium, so not boxing in a mouse dock seems like just a cheap shot.

But frankly, aside from the lack of a dock, there is nothing really objectionable about the Naga Pro. It's a great update to an already great mouse, especially for MMO/MOBA gamers. Sure, it's overkill for many of us, and probably not worth the extra $50 over the reliable Trinity. But discerning, cable-hating multi-genre masters will love the speed, precision, and versatility of the new Razer Naga Pro.
