I have been using a Steelseries mouse for a while but it is starting to go out. I am in the market for a new mouse but am not sure what to get. I hear getting a mouse with extra buttons is a must. I tried the Razer Naga but hated it. I just bought the K95 Corsair keyboard which I like. I hear that the Corsair Scimitar is like the Naga with extra buttons, I would assume holding the mouse and pressing the extra buttons would be kinda weird. What would you suggest as my next mouse to get?
I have the scimitar and so does my hubby and we both love it, we also used razer way back and finally broke away from them to Corsair. It does take getting used to at first if you’re not used to it. Logitech also has one too and they make good products as well. I believe it’s the G600, I have no experience with it but know others who have from my old guild and they love it.
The little I tried of the Corsair Scimitar I found that the side buttons are actually pretty nice and recessed enough that it’s hard to hit them on accident even when you’re trying to grip the mouse or something.
The only reason I don’t use one is because it’s too heavy for my liking. The actual grip was quite comfortable, but as someone who plays other genres such as FPS I prefer to keep things below 100g. But some people don’t mind that, and if you don’t then it’s a great mouse. If you DO want a lightweight MMO mouse, take a look at the HyperX Pulsefire Raid.
Personally, I don’t use the extra buttons that often so I tend to use either a Razer Basilisk V2 or Deathadder V2 Pro (the wireless one), but I’m also fond of Steelseries Rival 600.
I’m far from a gaming mouse expert (traditionally, I’ve used trackballs or “creator” oriented mice like the MX1000/MX Master/etc), but a couple weeks ago I picked up a G604 Lightspeed while a couple of stores had a half-price discount on it going and I’ve been pleased with it thus far. Its wireless is quite good with negligible/undetectable latency, battery life is solid so far, it glides well on my desk mat, and it has a number of buttons that to me feels balanced (not too few, not too many).
Only con I guess would be that it takes a AA battery so it isn’t rechargeable by default, but that’s easily taken care of by picking up a 4-pack of eneloop AAs w/charger on Amazon. Oh, and avoid the Logitech G Hub configuration software if you can, because it will sit open in the background and sporadically consume a whole CPU core — instead, use G Hub to store configurations in the mouse’s onboard memory so it doesn’t need to run in the background.
