I've currently set up my Death Knight, Hunter, and Shaman UIs to work primarily with the Razer Naga (with pet controls on the keypad) using the RazerNaga AddOn while my Paladin still has a mix of controls on the N52te and the Razer Naga using the Bartender4 AddOn. The great news is that the RazerNaga AddOn works as advertised. Muscle memory will follow in time, so the keypad isn't much of a concern for me (Razer has also included 'trainer' stickers, adhesive bumps that can be placed on certain keys) - it's customizing the interface to take advantage of all the buttons that's the real challenge. getting used to the 12-button keypad is secondary. Most of my hours have actually been spent configuring the AddOn.

This might sound a bit long, but considering how much time we can sometimes spend playing the game, it kind of makes sense. In the Razer introductory video, Razer|Fakesteve mentions that most players got used to the Naga's controls within the first 18 hours of gameplay. The possibilities are pretty extensive, and players able to maximize the AddOn's features will squeeze the most of the Razer Naga. The RazerNaga AddOn also supports certain bar 'states,' wherein the action bar changes according to conditions - stealth, bear form, combat, out of combat, etc. This is actually less confusing than it sounds, and when you get the hang of it, you will actually want to take advantage of it. The AddOn is capable of quick paging, or showing different action bars at the press of a button, or what Tuller, the mod's developer, calls 'bar mirroring,' which shows a different set of spells on the same action bar when a modifier is pressed or certain conditions are met. More experienced users can opt to assign custom key bindings to each button. Toggling the 'Always use Razer Naga buttons' option will map the action bar from 1 to = in Normal mode or N1 to + in Advanced. It's important to note that when configuring the AddOn, it's set to the same toggle as the Razer Naga, whether it's set to the Basic or Advanced mode.īecause they have the same creator, the RazerNaga AddOn is very nearly identical to Dominos with the exception that the former has toggles that sync directly with the mouse, automatically setting all the keys to match the built-in keypad. Starting virtually from scratch, I was able to shift most commands from the N52te (or keyboard), and almost exclusively to the Razer Naga, leaving my keyboard hand for modifier keys and other functions such as targeting. Players activating the AddOn for the first time might find that their bars will have been completely rearranged: Considering I probably didn't maximize Bartender4 as much as I could, the RazerNaga AddOn eventually allowed me to create a UI that was nearly identical to the one I had using Bartender4.

Below is Razer|Fakesteve with a tutorial on how to configure the RazerNaga Addon.Īfter a bit of stumbling, I found that the Razer's proprietary mod was every bit as powerful and customizable as Bartender4 for my purposes (the RazerNaga AddOn is not compatible with Bartender4 or any other action bar mod, so these should be disabled). Otherwise, click 'No' and configure it using the AddOn interface. If you don't use any custom key bindings or use the default UI, clicking 'Yes' should be quite alright. The very first dialog box that players will encounter is a prompt asking to 'sync' the RazerNaga buttons with current action bars. Installing and activating the RazerNaga AddOn is easier for players starting from scratch.

However, Razer Community Manager Travis Wannlund, aka Razer|Mjolnir, assured Mike Schramm during BlizzCon that Razer would 'do their best to keep the AddOn updated'.Īs I'd mentioned, customizing one's UI takes quite a bit of planning, particularly when dealing with powerful action bar mods and even more so when changing one's entire playstyle. I was also extremely wary of a peripherals manufacturer handling an AddOn ironically because I'm concerned it wouldn't be updated - I'd sooner trust the open source community to keep things current. Between Dominos and the popular Bartender4, I had more experience with the latter. I'll admit that I was apprehensive about the RazerNaga Addon because it was simply a custom version of Dominos, an existing action bar mod.

The very first thing, of course, is to download the AddOn.
