Bast Bow.2958 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I'm struggling to do everything with my keyboard with my left hand, and I don't have enough buttons on my current mouse to bind all utilities, elite, heal, F-skills, weapon swap etc. That's why I'm planning on buying a MMO raid mouse. If you have experience with either mentioned, which one do you prefer, and why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haishao.6851 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I've been using a naga for 5 years and I think it's fine, but I'm thinking of trying the corsair next because of the adjustable side panel. I currently find the 1 2 3 buttons too far up on my mouse for the way I hold it so I only use 4 to 12 in combat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesT.3645 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I've owned both the Naga and the G600, and it's much easier to navigate the 12 thumb buttons on the G600 due to them being angled into a discrete feeling top and bottom set of 6. I sometimes found my thumb was getting lost on the Naga. They're both excellent, but the G600 is best for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't need much additional buttons on mouse for this game, so G502 is the perfect balance (if you like me play both Guild Wars 2 and various FPS) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry.5713 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Went through two Razer Nagas and later a Mad Catz MMO7. Ended up breaking the scroll wheels on two of them. The MMO7 especially seems to be rather delicate. All though, might just been me and my **hard use**, haha. Bought my current Lioncast LM30 on a whim afterwards. Wasn't sure at first but it ended up being just as good of a mouse. All in all a cheaper alternativ and my favorite so far due to some extra customizability and some flashy LED effects.

xDudisx.5914 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I use a razer naga to play. I activate the 3 utilities, healing and elite skill on the mouse. There are buttons left, but I prefer to use the rest of my skills on keyboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiftUngiven.7854 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 I've been using for the last 3 years my Corsair m95 vengeance. You have 13 buttons on the left side, it's really comfortable (the buttons have a different shape so you recognize em by tactical feedback) and it's not too bulky. I now went for a g502 to play overwatch, but for gw2 i would never give up my m95. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProtoGunner.4953 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 G600 all the way, best (peripheral) hardware I bought for my PC in years. I had the Naga for a short time. It broke within one week. Never again this overpriced crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrdeye.1028 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 I've tried the Naga and G600. I like both, but the G600 buttons are angled in a way that makes it easier to differentiate them. There is also a ring finger button on this mouse that can be bound to a modifier (I strongly recommend changing this from Alt if you use the tab targeting). The only drawback is that with all these buttons there's more to go wrong and you'll probably be buying another one within a couple years. You should also be aware that there's a huge learning curve to these mice and you basically have to force yourself to use them until it feels natural. The G600 can usually be found for $35-45 on Amazon, the Naga is a bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hegemon.4053 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 I've been using a Redragon Legend for the past year and a bit. Probably one of the cheaper option out of the lot and it hasn't let me down at all. No mechanical failures or issues at all since I've had it. I wholeheartedly recommend it. It has 22 buttons by the way. You can find it for about 40$ on amazon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dovienya.6597 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 I strongly recommend going to a shop in person, if you can, and seeing how different mice fit in your hand first. I used the Logitech G series for a long time, and always liked them. The Corsair Scimitar is wonderful for my hand size and posture. The ability to slide the 12 side key pad for preference, is also excellent. I had a Naga briefly, it did not last long. I have been beating the crap of of my Scimitar for quite a while now with no complaints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silmar Alech.4305 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 I was in same situation as the OP. I decided to use a Logitech G700s. That's not a true MMO mouse with 12 thumb buttons, but it has 4 (and a lot of others). I also own a G600 and tried that for a few weeks, but I wasn't satisfied. The speed to press the thumb buttons was far far less than the speed I was able to press the skills with my left hand at the keyboard. Initially, I wanted to get balanced use of both hands to maximize speed and precision. I wanted to be able to move and use skills at the same time and with ultimate precision. I already moved the skills 6..0 to some keys on the left half of the keyboard, so I was able to use them without moving a hand to the right side of the keyboard or worse, to click skills. A problem is always to move and use skills with the left hand at the same time. So I bought a G600 MMO mouse and configured all skills to the G600 thumb buttons. Wasn't working, because the precision of character movement lacked. Every time I pressed the thumb, I kind of displaced the character. Or I accidently moved the character during channeling, so the channeling was aborted. How often I aborted Meteor Shower this way! It also took much longer to actually fire a skill with the G600 than with the keyboard. I created a small program that ordered me to press a random skill and measured the reaction time. With keyboard, standard reaction time was about 300 milliseconds. With the G600 thumb buttons, it was about 1000-1500 milliseconds. Yes, more than one second reaction time. It took too long for my brain to make the thumb navigate to one of 12 button positions and the thumb to actually press the button. I practiced 2 weeks, but I wasn't able to get near my keyboard time. So I decided to not use the G600. I use the G700 instead. It has 4 thumb buttons and 3 additional buttons at the top of the mouse. The 4 thumb buttons are perfect for F1..F4, especially for the elementalist attunements. The 3 additional buttons are for special action key and other non-movement non-skill usage (weapon change, mount usage). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the Logitech G600 and have pretty well everything bound to the mouse, from attacks to skills/f-skills to dodge and about face to mount secondary skill. It's convenient, feels and works so good that I honestly don't think I could go back to having any fewer mouse buttons than this now. > @"Silmar Alech.4305" said: > It also took much longer to actually fire a skill with the G600 than with the keyboard.

So I decided to not use the G600. This isn't the fault of the hardware, though that you didn't get the hang of it (not a slight against you, some people just may not be able to do it). Personally, my reaction time and playing got better with it. Yes, there is a learning curve, but now my thumb knows where all those buttons are just as well as a console controller, which may be why I prefer the buttons on the mouse as I was raised on and still heavily play retro consoles, so I'm used to the thumb action. It's far better than when I was trying move and use skills with the left hand (and I was always having to glance at the keyboard because I just can't play well that way, like you can't properly with a G600) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R E F L H E X.8413 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Original naga with the two buttons in the top left of the mouse. That was my switch weapon and dodge keys... now im using a redragon perdition with only one button in that area its my weapon swap and now button 4 on mouse is dodge these i would put at the top two since they are similar. Problem with these mouses are they are small and easily give carpal tunnel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bast Bow.2958 Posted October 22, 2017 Author Share Posted October 22, 2017 Thanks all. Because of your input I wanted to go for the G600, but it’s not available in my country anymore. Instead they offer the G602, which is what I bought. Did some more research about palm- and claw-grip and this mouse should fit me. There’s really a lot of info about a mouse which I didn’t knew before. I don’t have a valid reason why I chose Logitech over Razer. Only thing is I’m familiar with Logitech and I’m not with Razer. Well and the G602 has less buttons, but enough for me so I don’t have to learn too many buttons to muscle-memorize. And it’s wireless which wasn’t what I was looking for inititally but it’s a nice pro. So it seems there are some small reasons for me to chose Logitech over Razer. Now I’m in the process of learning all the buttons. Which makes my rotation a bit slower for now, but probably will get faster once I’ll start to get familiar with them. And jumping back into raids, shrugging off the rust, it’s been 2 months. Again, thanks all for the input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silmar Alech.4305 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 You tried a G602? Hey, that layout is new (for me). Looks like a compromise between the G700 and the G600 - 8 thumb buttons in 2 rows, thats very similar to the G700. Very interesting. Seems more accessible than the G600 buttons. Ummm.... must... resist... buy... new... hardware.... not... in... computer... budget... this... year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bast Bow.2958 Posted October 25, 2017 Author Share Posted October 25, 2017 Yes. Bought it actually. Indeed it seems like a compromise of those 2. And it being wireless is nice too. I haven't tried the G600 so I'm not sure how accessible those buttons are, but these are very accissible with your thumb, you don't have to (over)stretch your thumb to press all the side buttons.
