ADAPT TO ANY GAME WITH THE NEW RAZER NAGA PRO

ADAPT TO ANY GAME WITH THE NEW RAZER NAGA PRO

Razer unleashes the power of three wireless mice in one modular design, allowing gamers to choose from three swappable side plates to match any playstyle

Razer™, the leading global lifestyle brand for gamers, today announced the Razer Naga Pro wireless gaming mouse. From MMO to MOBA, Battle Royale, First-person shooter games, and more – the Naga Pro’s three swappable side plates make adapting to different game genres easier than ever before.

The Razer Naga Pro is the newest addition to the Razer™ HyperSpeed wireless line up, and draws and improves upon the success of the Naga Trinity, which first introduced the three-in-one modular design. It packs all the latest and greatest in gaming technology while still retaining its core, fan-favourite design. Built to offer gamers greater choice and customisation, the Naga Pro caters to many different games and playstyles. 

“We are all gamers, but we play in many different ways,” says Alvin Cheung, Senior Vice President of Razer’s Peripherals Business Unit. “Customisation has always been a key component of inclusivity by enabling more gamers to play together. The Naga Pro embodies this ideal and gives everyone the control to play their own way, unrestrained by a cord.”

A multi-genre design for maximum customisability

The updated modular design now features three magnetic side plates with two, six, or 12 programmable button layouts. The six-button side plate is a newly designed layout debuting for the first time on the Naga Pro. Each side plate is designed to complement specific game genres: the 12-button plate for MMO/RTS games, the six-button plate for Battle Royale/MOBA, and the two-button plate for FPS games. 

  • The 12-button side plate features the greatest number of buttons to optimise skill rotations and macros, with ergonomic positioning for instant access. It is perfect for situations where timing and precision are most crucial like in MMO or RTS games.
  • The 6-button side plate offers a balance of control and accessibility. This layout is ergonomically designed with Battle Royale or MOBA games in mind. The buttons are laid out in two rows for quick access to skills or items, and it comes with a side grip for more controlled swipes.
  • The 2-button side plate is the standard fit for FPS games. Where precision matters most, its larger rubberised grip provides maximum control in every shootout. It is complemented by two buttons for just essential commands like crouching or sniping.

The side plates give gamers access to an unmatched total of up to 20 programmable buttons. With Razer Hypershift, accessible through Razer’s Synapse software, each button can also be layered with a secondary function for maximum control and customisability. For swift and easy access, the Naga Pro can store up to five on-board memory profiles – even without the software. 

Upgraded with the latest innovations

The Naga Pro is driven by the RazerHyperSpeed Wireless technology, trusted and proven by top esports athletes, for a connection faster than most wired mice. As an added benefit, Razer HyperSpeed Wireless requires less power from the mouse than other wireless gaming mice, extending the battery life of the Naga Pro to last up to 100 hours of continuous gaming on 2.4 Ghz or even up to 150 hours on Bluetooth. And if the battery does run low, the Naga Pro can be charged while gaming via wired connection through the included Razer SpeedFlex cable for dragfree control. It is also compatible with wireless charging via the Razer Mouse Dock Chroma (sold separately). 

For pixel-precise accuracy, the Naga Pro stars the Razer™ Focus+ 20K DPI Optical Sensor. Razer’s leading Optical Sensor features the highest specs on the market including intelligent functions such as Motion Sync that flawlessly tracks mouse movements and can be calibrated for personal preference via Smart Tracking or Asymmetric Cut-off.

The Naga Pro also sports the RazerOptical Mouse Switches which harness the speed of light instead of using physical contacts – for instant actuations and unrivaled durability of up to 70 million clicks. Gamers will no longer need to fear unintended double clicks, which can happen with traditional mouse switches that degrade over an extended period.

With its three swappable side plates, and packed with the latest and greatest in mouse technology, the new Razer Naga Pro is the most versatile and most advanced Naga ever. 

ABOUT THE RAZER NAGA PRO

  • 3 swappable side plates for personalised button configurations
  • Razer™ HyperSpeed Wireless for a connection faster than wired mice
  • 19+1 programmable buttons for extended controls
  • Razer™ Focus+ 20K DPI Optical Sensor for cutting-edge precision
  • Razer™ Optical Mouse Switch for actuation at the speed of light
  • 3 modes of connection – HyperSpeed Wireless / Bluetooth / Speedflex wired

4.5+ Million Players Now Own 3 out of 10, the Animated Playable Sitcom. Season Finale Debuts Today

4.5+ Million Players Now Own 3 out of 10, the Animated Playable Sitcom. Season Finale Debuts Today

All Season One Episodes Free on Epic Games Store

BOSTON, MA — Sept. 3, 2020 — 3 out of 10, the episodic playable sitcom from Terrible Posture Games about life at the world’s worst game development studio, puts on a new face today with the season finale, Episode 5 – “The Rig is Up!” exclusively on the Epic Games Store for PC. Owned by 4.5+ million players, Season One is free on the Epic Games Store.

Ever wake up and just not feel like yourself? You look in the mirror and just see an empty void where your face once sat. No, seriously—Pylon’s face is gone. When a rigging issue leaves only his eyes afloat above his torso, Pylon needs the help of Midge and Kevin to cure his transparent affliction. Journey forth to a land of enchantment and mystery (Canada) to find a solution for Pylon’s plight, but stay alert! Shovelworks’ losing streak of bad review scores may not be entirely their fault…

In this action-packed season finale, 3 out of 10’s minigames pay homage to video game history and cover both sides of the northern border. As Pylon, escape a makeshift office arena by dodging Viper’s attacks. Brave the mysterious sewer tunnels connecting New England and Canada in a nostalgic top-down dungeon crawler where secret chambers and elusive spider moose guard the path to the Great White North. Reconstruct Pylon’s face in a physics-based, high-score-racking tabletop retro gaming experience. (It’s pinball.)

Was it a video game? Was it a show? In its debut season, 3 out of 10 defied characterization at every turn, rewriting the rules of good taste expectations with dozens of game genres and a serialized story released in five installments over five concurrent weeks. Yet plenty of mysteries remain. Will the Shovelworks crew of well-meaning ne’er-do-wells ever finish Surfing with Sharks? In its final form, will their game be worthy of a review score higher than 3 out of 10? Seriously, Pylon, what’s with the ketchup?

“At the start of this journey, we saw a space in games for an easy-to-digest weekly story,” said Joe Mirabello, creative director for Terrible Posture Games. “It’s been a once-in-a-lifetime pleasure to share this weird experiment and our love of making games with literally millions of people. Well, we hope it’s not once-in-a-lifetime. Please play our game so we can make more!”

3 out of 10’s complete first season is now available for free exclusively on the Epic Games Store. For satirical yucks—and to find out if they ever get to make another season—hang with Terrible Posture Games on Twitter, Facebook, Discord, and the official website.

About Terrible Posture Games
