The Razer Naga Trinity’s rugged build, low latency, ergonomic design for large hands, 19 buttons, and 42 programmable inputs make it tailored for MMO and FPS games. However, the bulky design and weight mean it’s not great for travel.

Overview

Announced in early 2018, the Razer Naga Trinity is a wired, high-end gaming mouse with a right-handed orientation and customizable Razer Chroma RGB lighting for an immersive gaming experience. The mouse’s advanced optical sensor offers a 16,000 DPI rating, but ergonomically, its bulky size may inconvenience small-handed users as it is ideal for large-handed palm or claw grip. Check out our list of the best computer mice for smaller alternatives.

That said, the Razer Naga Trinity has a low 2.3ms click latency, and its Razer Synapse 3 software doesn’t work on MacOS systems (we’ve covered other highly rated gaming mice with software that works on MacOS systems). Also worth considering is that the versatile gaming mouse has a 24-step notched, tactile scroll wheel, and fortunately, its click noise is very low. The right-handed mouse also has a 2, 7, and 12-button configuration courtesy of its interchangeable side plates.

What Is Not on the Box

What the brand doesn’t always tell you…

our Verdict

The Razer Naga Trinity has a premium, sturdy, all-plastic build. Its 24-step notched scroll wheel is smooth and tactile with tilt functionality, and the Razer Synapse software is superb at customizing the 19 buttons and RGB, but it’s Windows-only. With three mouse plates and up to 42 programmable inputs, the Trinity gives you rapid access to all essential inputs in a game.

The mouse is slightly heavy at 119.4g, but the rigid braided cable hinders mobility more than the weight. Trinity’s 2.3ms tested wired latency is low—excellent for FPS and reaction-based games. Its right-hand design is ergonomic and comfortable but large and bulky, making it suitable for palm and claw grips but not the fingertip grip or small hands. Again, your comfort depends on the plate (2, 7, or 12-button).

  • Since the Razer Naga Trinity is wired, some might argue that its wireless counterpart, the Razer Naga Pro is much more convenient to use. However, they’ll also have to consider that the Naga Pro can connect to two devices while the Naga Trinity is limited to one and that the Naga Pro ships with a 5.9ft Micro USB cable while the Naga Trinity has a 7ft USB cable. We’ve covered the latter in our Razer Naga Pro review if you’re interested.

  • Weighing 119.4g, the Razer Naga Trinity is heavier than the Razer Naga X, which weighs 85.1g. This might affect portability; however, the Naga Trinity offers up to forty-two programmable inputs compared to the Naga X, with thirty-four inputs. Their click latencies also vary, as the Naga Trinity has a lower 2.3ms latency than the Naga X, at 3.3ms. Lastly, the latter’s operating resolution of 18,000 DPI is higher than that of the Trinity, at 16,000 DPI. Here’s our Razer Naga X review for more insight.

The Razer Naga Trinity has a much lower wired click latency of 2.3ms compared to the Corsair SCIMITAR PRO RGB, rated at 6.8ms, but on the other hand, the Corsair mouse’s DPI can be adjusted in increments of 1, while the Naga Trinity’s DPI is adjusted in increments of 50. Additionally, the Naga Trinity has a quiet click noise compared to the Corsair, but the Corsair’s iCUE software works on both Windows and MacOS, while the Razer Synapse 3 is limited to Windows systems.
