Our Verdict

Razer Naga Trinity

Razer DeathAdder Elite

The Razer Naga Trinity and the Razer DeathAdder Elite are both great gaming mice, but for different purposes. The Trinity has three optional side panels to give you your choice of a more standard 2-button layout, a more MMO-centric layout with 12 more buttons, or a circular 6-button layout. They're both designed for right-handed use, though the Elite will be better in palm grip for small or extra-large hands as the Trinity is quite a bit wider and has a palm rest on the right side.
