    Razer Naga Trinity review: a modular mouse for all uses

    Several times improved, Razer’s famous Naga has so far existed in two versions. The first, named Naga Chroma (or Epic Chroma for its wireless version). Offers 12 buttons under the thumb and is therefore particularly suitable for MMO type games.

    The second, called Naga Hex V2, reduces this number of buttons to 7. For a use corresponding better to Moba or hack’n slash type games.

    Razer is now introducing the Naga Trinity, a modular mouse designed to adapt to all gaming genres.

    Presentation

    As we approach this test of the Naga Trinity, there is a strong desire to sum up this new modular mouse from Razer as follows the Trinity is both a classic Naga Chroma and a Naga Hex V2. But that would be to overlook what distinguishes it from the latter two.

    Indeed, the Trinity takes advantage of the last optical sensor “5G” introduced with the DeathAdder Elite and inaugurates a new slice with two buttons. It is therefore in a way a mixture of 4 very different mice, thus fully justifying that we deepen the subject to give you a complete test of it.

    Design of Razer Naga Trinity

    In terms of design, we are on familiar ground, the Naga Trinity taking up every feature the lines of other Naga. We thus find a rather compact shape, a well rounded back (43 mm) and a certain width (74 mm) designed to better support the ring finger.

    You can then let your hand rest entirely on the mouse, for more comfort. However, it remains possible to opt for a slightly more nervous grip.

    The mouse not being too long (119 mm) and taking advantage of its two slices of elastomer inserts, providing good grip and to be lifted without difficulty. An important feature when we know that the Naga Trinity still displays 120 g on the scale.

    Build Quality

    In terms of build quality, nothing to reproach this Naga. Despite a modular design, nothing moves and the adjustments are impeccable; one could quite believe in a “normal” mouse, the left slice being perfectly integrated.

    The matt plastic used offers a pleasant feel and is not too messy.

    Buttons Naga Trinity

    This principle of interchangeable slice is not new – recently. Corsair proposed it on its Glaive, for example -, but brings here a whole new dimension. Insofar as it completely modifies the organization of the buttons.

    While the 12 buttons on the edge corresponding to the original Naga are very practical for having a maximum of functions under the thumb.

    No problem with the Trinity, just use the edge with a grip and two larger buttons. The last option is a good compromise between support and the number of buttons accessible with the thumb.

    Precision

    Razer has chosen an optical sensor for its Naga Trinity. A wise choice as this 5G sensor is performing. Already used in the DeathAdder Elite , the Lancehead Tournament Edition and the Basilisk , this PMW3389 manufactured by PixArt indeed supports speeds of up to 11.43 m / s, and accelerations of 50 g. Suffice to say that there is no risk of seeing it fail, even in the event of particularly sharp movements (currents in low sensitivity in shooting games, in particular).

    Its sensitivity can reach 16,000 dpi, which is far more than necessary, even in the context of multiscreen use. Remember that at 16,000 dpi, a movement of 2 cm is enough to make the pointer travel the width of 3 Ultra HD screens. You might as well give up precision with such a setting; but who can do the most can do the least.

    When it comes to surface recognition, optics dictate that we simply avoid glass and other transparent and reflective coatings. Apart from these specific materials, the sensor tolerates a wide variety of surfaces. However, we always recommend a good mouse pad, in order to improve the precision and the glide, while limiting at the same time the wear of the skates.

    Conclusion

    Well designed, the Naga Trinity does indeed combine the advantages of all the other versions of the wired Naga.

  • Razer Seiren X Review And Driver Support

    Razer Seiren X review

    Alongside the Razer Kiyo webcam already presented on GamerTech, the famous brand of gaming peripherals unveiled a new version of its microphone intended for streamers . Following on from the imposing Seiren model presented in 2015, the new Razer Seiren X is intended to be more compact, but also easier to use.

    New to streaming? We explain step by step how to stream on Twitch !

    With plug-and-play operation and a USB connection, it is intended for players looking for a simple and efficient way to comment on their games live. Available around € 110 , it promises quality capture thanks to its 25mm capsule offering super-cardioid directivity.

    What to overshadow certain references in the sector, like the Blue Yeti ( around 120 € ) or even the Audio-Technica AT2020USB + ( around 145 € )? Answer after ten days at his side.

    Design & Ergonomics

    Once the Seiren X is assembled, the first thing that jumps out at you is obviously its particularly compact size. Faced with a Blue Yeti, the latest from Razer is clearly more discreet, and players wishing to keep a minimalist setup should clearly appreciate.

    A good point, especially if you want to position it in front of your keyboard, or directly on an arm without hiding part of your monitor.

    With a diameter of 4.5cm and a height of 19cm, the Seiren X is also almost twice as compact as the first version of Razer’s microphone. An asset for players who are used to streaming on the go, from a gaming laptop for example.

    Style of Razer Seiren

    In terms of style, the manufacturer retains the lines of the first version, with a relatively sober and elegant look. All in black, the microphone combines perfectly with other peripherals of the brand and has excellent finishes despite a predominantly plastic construction.

    The chassis appears robust, and the protective grid should be able to effectively protect the capsule in the event of a fall.

    Detail of Razer Seiren X

    A little more in detail, the Razer Seiren X presents two buttons when positioned in front of you. The first allows you to adjust the sound volume of your headphones when you plug one into the microphone. While the second allows you to activate or stop audio capture. when the microphone A green LED also indicates is activated.

    Under the microphone, there is a 3.5 mm connector to plug in your headphones (practical when you want to monitor ), as well as a micro-USB connector to power everything. The connection is then made by USB, via a braided cable approximately 1.5 m long.

    Something Missing

    No other button is involved, and we can already regret the absence of controls allowing to manage the gain on the fly, or to adjust the directivity of the capture. While streamers are usually content with a cardioid mode, the lack of these features will make the Seiren X less versatile than a Blue Yeti.

    Let’s finish with the base of the microphone, equipped with a non-slip coating but also a small ball joint offering a few degrees of freedom to more or less tilt the Razer Seiren X.

    Performances

    As explained above, the Seiren X incorporates a 25 mm capsule with supercardioid capture. Clearly, the microphone here favors sources only positioned in front of it. This is obviously what we are looking for when we want to chat with other players or comment on its broadcast on Twitch or YouTube .

    The idea is therefore to capture only your voice, bypassing the sounds coming from the back or sides of the microphone. This way, your audience doesn’t have to endure the noise of your PC fans, and the capture of keystrokes on your mechanical keyboard should be reduced.

    Before coming to the performance itself, we will understand that the position of the Razer Seiren X will play a crucial role in its quality of capture. If the microphone is not perfectly positioned in front of you, its very reduced directivity will inevitably limit the quality of capture.

    In use, the capture quality is clearly there. Positioned about thirty cm from the mouth, the Seiren X offers excellent recording quality, while limiting the capture of ambient noise

    Conclusion

    Overall, this little Razer Seiren X is a nice surprise. The microphone provides excellent capture and allows you to record clear, detailed voice for your videos or live broadcasts .

    Compact and easy to use, it is obviously intended for players who do not want to bother with XLR connectors which are often more expensive and complicated to set up. The question of price obviously remains, because with a price of around 110 € , the Seiren X is still expensive.

    This is particularly the case when we compare it to the Blue Yeti , regularly available at a similar price, and which in turn offers more complete features (gain management, capture mode, etc.).
