Razer has introduced the Naga V3 Pro, a modular gaming mouse designed to adapt to different play styles through three magnetic side plates. Users can switch between a 12-button layout for MMO games, a six-button configuration for MOBAs and battle royale titles, or a streamlined two-button setup suited to FPS gameplay. Beneath the interchangeable design is Razer's Focus Pro 50K Optical Sensor Gen-3, delivering up to 50,000 DPI and 390 IPS tracking, alongside Gen-4 optical switches rated for 100 million clicks to improve durability and responsiveness.
The mouse also debuts the HyperScroll Tilt Wheel Gen-2, offering four scrolling modes that range from free-spinning navigation to precise tactile input. Depending on the installed side plate, the Naga V3 Pro supports up to 23 programmable buttons, including a configurable pinky-rest button for additional controls. Wireless performance reaches up to 155 hours over HyperSpeed 2.4GHz or 280 hours via Bluetooth, while the swappable side plates allow players to transition between gaming genres without changing peripherals.
