18 button is 2 less than my very old g600 which is on its last legs. I did look at this one, thanks for the review.

Just get the Redragon MMO mouse. It's cheap, and it's still going strong for me 6 years later.

the random d/c saddens me you were the chosen one AEROX 9! ! !

After having two Razer Naga Pro failures in like 6-7 months, and the scimitar scroll wheel plastic just breaking, I was hoping that this would be it in terms of a wireless MMO mouse solution. I'm back with the G600 for the time being.

In the search for *THE* mmo mouse I bought one of these. I hated the lightweight design, it makes it feel cheap and I just enjoy a weighted mouse. The biggest issue though was the side buttons being sized for a 7yr old, there was no way I could push one button without pressing others. Wireless is also an immediate negative for me, having to stop what you're doing to charge something sucks.

I really miss the Logitech G6. It was large and heavy but I've got really big hands so it fit and worked perfectly.

I picked one up a replacement for a scimitar elite. I wanted to go wireless. It was packed back up and marked for return within 2 hours of unboxing. I feel the side buttons are in an uncomfortable position, weirdly angled and unnecessarily stiff. Incredibly uncomfortable design. Not too long after this couple of months maybe, Corsair dropped the Scimitar Wireless. While iCUE is shite, the mouse is fantastic.

Out of curiosity, which MMO mouse is your favorite? I've owned multiples of both the Razer Naga and the Logitech G600 - all of which had varying durability problems after a year or so of use. My latest is the Corsair Scimitar; which has started having scroll wheel problems after about six months of use.

I wish there were more MMO mice to choose from, or at least more varied options. MMOs being such a stagnant genre, demand must be pretty low. I have had quite a few different ones over the years, with my favorites being some of the original nagas. They were smaller, had the index finger buttons for mouse 4 and 5, and seemed to have better build quality than modern ones too. Currently, I seldom use an MMO mouse because I only dabble in GW2 here and there, but when I do, I use my Roccat Nyth. I don't even think they sell those anymore, but honestly, that feels like my best option currently. Very unique mouse, that is highly customizable versus the rest, I wish it were wireless and not so heavy though. Ideally, I want a mouse on the small side, lightweight, wireless, with mouse buttons 4 and 5 like the old nagas, or the nyth, which has a 2 button switch that sits between your index and middle finger. Nothing seems to meet that criteria. Was hoping the "glorious PC gaming" company would make one eventually, so I could at least get the same form factor as my current (non MMO) mouse, the Model D.

I tried to like MMO mice. I tried several of them. Controller is just more comfortable to me and cramps my hands less, and I have less missed inputs. My favorite of the ones I tried though was the razer naga x, the size/weight/position of the side buttons felt best to me. Other ones I tried were the aerox 9 (honestly hated it), logitech g600 (2nd favorite), corsair scimitar elite (had problems tracking, randomly jumped around although looking back it may not have liked my mouse pad), redragon m908 was not bad, but naga x was better. I used to use a dualshock 4 controller on pc but now I'm using the 8bitdo ultimate and I love it. I still use a standard mouse and keyboard a lot though for inventory and market board.

I bought this mouse because I had wanted to go wireless from the Naga X I was using and wanted to try giving Steelseries a try. Honestly couldn't use it, the side buttons were way too stiff and as someone with big hands, I could not find any position where I could comfortably hit every button reliably. Any spot where I could at least reach them all, made some of them hard to press in without significant force. Overall hated it, returned it for a Naga Pro V2 and love it. I swap out the 12 button side when I'm not playing FFXIV to have a lighter feel. I've also tried the Scimitar but wasn't personally a fan. I wanted to avoid Razer because their stuff breaks easy, but unfortunately I just haven't found anything else as comfortable to use. Too bad most companies don't seem too interested in being competitive or innovative with MMO mice.

I too found that the 1-2-3 buttons were too far forward and small. I found myself going back to the Naga...

To put my two cents in, I would avoid Razer like the plague nowadays. I've recently been testing out alternatives because I've had *four* Nagas fail in the past two years and I just cannot look past a failure rate like that, even if they've all been replaced under warranty. It is unfortunate that this doesn't sound like a contender, but hopefully SteelSeries can fix the issues.

What about all the dirt and dust that will accumulate pretty fast inside the mouse over not so long period of time?

What other options are there to consider if you want something as light with mmo buttons?

I prefer heavier Mice. But in all honesty I have yet to come across a better mouse for MMO's than the Logitech G600. That extra mouse button for binding to ctrl/shift or useing it as their G-shift key just makes things just so much easier. Sadly there is no wireless version cause having logitech airplay tech with this mouse be amazing.

This is a good mouse made for people with long hands. I have 17cm hand span and this mouse was just way too long for me to actually be able to use.

g600 for me, I just cant let go of the g-shift

What mouse are you using now currently?

Excellent mouse but I have had two break on me so I keep defaulting back to my Corsair mmo mouse.

You have disconnecting issues because you updated the firmware thinking that's a good idea.

It's too lightweight, mouses need a bit of weight to not feel cheap.

this mouse ain't it chief

How well does this mouse work with M-series Macs?

Might look into this, the Naga Pro is starting to become bothersome.
