I’m looking for a new mouse with MMO side buttons, and was wondering what Lemmy thought about it.
My current mouse is a cheapo Red Dragon M901. I love the ergononics, but the durability of the scroll wheel isn’t great. I had to replace the mouse about a year ago because the scroll wheel died (really stiff + wouldn’t click), and now this one is starting to show the same symptoms.
I would like wireless (esp. bluetooth), but I’m a little skeptical about it because my last wireless mouse (EVGA X20) had really inconsistent wakeup. Sometimes it would fall asleep while I was reading something, and I’d have to shake it for 2-5 seconds to wake it back up. That’s extremely annoying :/
The razer naga mice seem like the top tier stuff, but they’re very pricey and my experience with razer hardware reliability in the past has not been great.
Also I’m a linux user, so if the mouse comes with a linux compatible configuration utility, that’s a plus (open source? that’s a plus plus even if the mouse itself is mid :P)
Used to use a Razor Naga and really liked it. But then in the end I just rebound my keys and went back to a regular mouse.
Take a look at the Azeron Cyro. It combines a high quality mouse, a ton of programmable buttons and a thumbstick, so it has everything you need for one-handed gaming in the vast majority of games. Might not be what you’re looking for, but it’s good to know that there are possibilities that you probably haven’t considered yet. It even comes in a left-handed version.
I loved my Logitech G602 back in the day if you can find them. Good grip, 6 side macros and DPI macros. Also wireless.
Your mileage may vary with Razer products. I’m not sure how reliable they are now. But I have a Razer Naga Epic from over a decade ago and it’s still kicking and going strong. I am hoping it will still hang on for another ten years at least. It’s super nice.
Edit: I should also mention i probably got lucky? I’ve always heard iffy things about their products online. I’m not sure how mine hasn’t had any issues yet, but I try to keep it clean. The one thing I do need to do is eventually lube the scroll wheel a bit. It has a little squeak when I scroll.
I love my Model O Glorious mouse. Adjustable dpi super dependable.
