Hey guys first post from a long time lurker. I am looking to buy a new gaming mouse and It seems the field has grown alot more since I last bought one. There are alot of companies I know knothing about (I'm looking at you Rocat) and I could use some guidance based on some of my info.
I currently have a first gen Razer Naga and I'm a longtime Razer user. While I love my Razer keyboard quality my current Razer Naga has that pesky double click issue and is one of the main reason I want to replace it. I never really got used to all of the button on the Naga either and only use them for vent Push to talk buttons.
I play Moba's, RPG's and 3rd person games. At this moment I am looking at a Razer Naga Hex or a G600 but I am open to any good suggestions. I feel the Hex could be more managable for me to learn the buttons. The G600's angled buttons could be easier to learn to use as well but all I really need on the side is a programmagble button to set for a push to talk. Budget for this is 130 USD or less.
Any help you guys could give would be great and thanks in advance.
I can also recommend the G600, at least to say that it's a very nice mouse, very comfortable, high quality and that I like all of the features. I also had no trouble hitting the right thumb buttons without confusing them. Unfortunately, I couldn't get used to the third mouse button, not because I got it confused with the second mouse button, but because I have spent so much time gripping the side of my mouse with my ring finger, having it on a button made it a bit difficult to grip the mouse properly, unless I trained myself to grip the side with my pinky.
I wasn't happy about it, but I decided to sell it to a friend who hasn't used a PC very long, so he had no mouse muscle memory, and I instead purchased a Cyborg MM.O. 7, which I knew I would find comfortable because I used to have a Cyborg R.A.T. 5 that I really loved, but didn't have enough buttons. I should be getting the M.M.O. 7 today, so we'll see how that goes, but I predict I'll be very happy with it.
Since you mention ROCCAT I must suggest one of my two mouses; the ROCCAT SAVU that I really enjoy. I also have hade Razer Deathaddder which is also great. The Deathadder should have had the SAVU coating which is really great and has a really comfy thumb grip for my mid-sized hand
Hardest thing to recommend is a mouse since you either like the feel of it or you don't. I'd suggest trying some out first before settling with one. If you live in a metropolitan area or near one you can find stores to try it out first. :)
I'd agree with react. Find what fits, then stick with it. I found the steelseries ikari, babied it till it wore out on me last month and bought a mionix naos when they released the 8200 update. Logitech makes great products, and while i can't say the same for razer out of personal experience, tons of people use their mice.
