MMO gaming mice look a bit funky. You probably knew that already. With sometimes dozens of buttons for all the different controls, they're niche by nature. Yet the newly unveiled Razer Naga V3 Pro looks to get around that, claiming to be both easy to use and button-heavy at the same time.

In a sense, it seems like a pretty safe upgrade from the Naga V2 Pro from back in 2022. Like that model, it ships with three swappable plates by your thumb. The standard layout has a dozen buttons, but you can replace them with a mere six (or just two) for ease of use. With two further buttons besides the left click, and two more under the scroll wheel, the Naga V3 Pro can have 23, 17 or 13 buttons total.

Razer says these plates snap into place in seconds without any tools. The idea being you can flip between them when you load up different games. It envisions players using the dozen buttons for MMOs, six buttons for MOBA and battle royales, then the two buttons for FPS games or everyday use.

Head of PC gaming at Razer, Barrie Ooi, says, “The Naga has led multi-button gaming for 17 years, and the V3 Pro is our answer to a community that wanted one mouse to adapt to every genre they play.”

Where it does differ from the Naga V2 Pro is the inclusion of Razer's Focus Pro 3rd generation optical sensor with 50,000 DPI, plus fourth generation optical switches. It's also a bit lighter, at 97 g without a plate installed, or around 112–117 grams with. At its lightest, the Naga V3 Pro is a whopping 112 g, which makes it a bit of a thicc boi.

If you are interested in the upgrade, you can pick it up from Razer right now for $180 / £180 / €200. That is a hefty 'ol fee that matches the MSRP of the Naga V2 Pro.

And if you're thinking of spending that amount of money on a gaming mouse, you should also consider the Razer Viper V4 Pro, with its top-notch specs and low weight, or the Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike, with its incredible click technology. Both of these are among the best gaming mice you can buy today. The Superstrike will fetch the same price as the Naga V3 Pro, but the Viper V4 Pro is cheaper. Either way, the competition is super fierce at this price point.

And that's before mentioning that the Naga V3 Pro only comes with a 1,000 Hz polling rate (though it can get up to 8,000 Hz with the Mouse Dock Pro or HyperPolling Wireless Dongle). Still, the Naga V3 Pro is unique with the sheer volume of buttons available, and it's a sweet upgrade on the Naga V2 Pro for the same base price. Whether or not it's actually worth all that cash will be largely dependent on how it feels in the hand or your actual need for all those buttons.

Luckily, one is on its way to the PC Gamer offices—so you can expect our full review soon.
