As previously mentioned in our lengthy review (http://www.wow.com/2009/10/16/gearing-up-for-wow-the-razer-naga/) of the Razer Naga (http://www.wow.com/tag/razer-naga/), Razer had plans to update their 17-button MMOG-centric mouse to enable key mapping. Heathcliff Hatcher from Razer responded to concerns about the mouse's configurability back then that "software driver remapping of keys is a standard function for most of Razer products and we do have suitable solutions that we intend to release in the near future for Naga that will enable this feature out of game."

Razer delivered on that promise with an update to the mouse driver (http://www.razersupport.com/index.php?_m=downloads&_a=viewdownload&downloaditemid=395&nav=0), allowing users to configure all 17 buttons. This addresses the reservations many players expressed when the product launched in August last year. The driver update also supports different profiles, allowing users to configure different key functions according to their current application. Razer has also added full macro capability including timed delays between keystrokes. However, it should be noted that taking advantage of this last function might violate the World of Warcraft's terms of use, something that plagued the first versions (http://www.wow.com/2009/01/24/steelseries-wow-mouse-dangerous-in-no-uncertain-terms-of-use/) of Steelseries' World of Warcraft mouse. Read the FAQ regarding the driver update after the break.Continue reading Razer Naga now supports key mapping (http://www.wow.com/2010/01/08/razer-naga-now-supports-key-mapping/)
