It barely has more buttons than a regular FPS mouse. That’s nowhere near enough for me. I use a Razer Naga, use all 12 buttons and also have other abilities mapped to them with CTRL and SHIFT modifiers.
After dealing with issues with my wireless mouse choice (Logitech G602, and G604) 5-7 years or so… I’m done.

The EVGA X15 MMO mouse has 20 programmable buttons.
This thing is one of my best purchases since I’ve got a PC.
Not just for games I’ve bound copy/paste/enter to the main side buttons and it doesn’t seem like it would make a difference but whoa, being able to quickly do those commands once you get used to it I don’t know if I ever could go back to a regular setup just because of that alone.

First, a word of our sponsor …
Raid Shadowlands. In this game, you do the raid, which is actually just smash buttons, because half of the people pay attention, the other half use DBM, although it is so easy you should just memorize where to be. And then you kill bosses and get crappy loot that a- might not serve to your spec, or even class, B - is repetitive and not even sure to come.
Raid Shadowlands, because its predecessors Raid BfA and Raid Legion were said impossible to be worse, and Blizzard took it as a challenge.

There’s too many buttons. How do you memorize them? I have some advanced mouse but I only use Left Click and Right Clicks… That’s it. I am a clicker and I am performing great on M+15s.

It is a mini key board that I can keybind my abilities to .
Mine has 22 + buttons and I can set it up so all my abilities are all single button no need to push say Shift + 1 or alt + 1 etcetera.
It’s just a matter of moving my fingers a little to hit the right button .
The one I have is no longer made but I do believe Razer has one .
THis is a better view of it
Gamepads are basically small keyboards meant to be operated with one hand. Usually it has a palm rest and a series of keys that are bound to keyboard keys (usually on the left half that most people use) but are usually aligned less jank than a keyboard with angles between the keys.
They take a bit of getting used to but I enjoy them. I used to have a Belkin N52 during TBC I used and they eventually started to pick up. Though like I said, they’re usually not as effective as the keyboard to most given the learning curve and fact it you want to type in game you need to use the keyboard anyway.
Do recommend one if you have some money to throw at an experiment, once you get the hang of them they are fantastic. If I need to interrupt I just slide my pinky down to hit the corner button for C instead of taking my index finger off D. X is in a lot less of an awkward position to hit. Movement keys like Shadowstep are just where my pinkie usually rests. I’ve been using my Tartarus for a while. This and the Naga are the only Razer products I feel comfortable using and keep in mind, it is Razer. Probably wiser if you’ve been burned by them in the past to look into other manufacturers.
The button by the thumb is my shift key, the button on the bottom by the thumb is my spacebar for jumping. Then most things are stock except the far left keys up from down used to be something else but are bound to being Escape, Tab, G, C respectively (1, 6, 11, 16 if you look at a picture). Then there’s a little stick by the thumb like a directional pad you can configure to being other things. Most people I’ve seen prefer to use that for their movement, I don’t know if I feel comfortable with that personally so it’s a ctrl, alt, B, and M. (clockwise beginning from forward)
STRONGLY recommend if you do try this to keep an open mind and watch a lot of videos to see the settings other people are using and what would work best for you and try to build off what other people do.

I used to use Razr naga with 12 side buttons and 7 front buttons when wow still had some resemblance of difficulty. Now I just get a Logitech simple 4 side buttons and 7 front buttons and it just works fine.
Used to have a whole lot of keybinds, not they are mostly for comfort, because needed, they arent.
As EVE is much more technical than smash buttons, and FFXIV has a better overall gameplay design, WoW was the only one that would use one too many buttons, and now, it isnt technical, it isnt overall good in gameplay design, but it isnt hard on the smash buttons either.

I have mine set up for Forward /Back and straif both ways with the buttons beside it for Tab and P2T
I couldn’t imagine clicking my abilities… That takes way more skill than memorizing buttons on an MMO mouse lol…
Honestly, it takes a couple of weeks using a mouse like this but once you get used to it… You don’t really go back to playing the normal way.
Not really skill, most people used to click abilities until about Wrath or so. It’s just knowing where the buttons are on the hotbar, you get used to it after a while. Is significantly less effective though.
I had the Razer Naga wireless mouse for a long while back when I was raiding, and it was invaluable for that. But the first one I got was bricked by a firmware update - had to RMA it and wait a month for a replacement. And that one had this tendency to just freeze for 2 seconds at random times, as well as the terrible “Synapse” software being prone to blue-screening.
I now use a Logitech G602 and all my hassles are gone. I’ll never buy a Razer product again.
I’m in the “has always worked for me” camp. And I hate my mouse being dragged to a crawl by its cable.

The G602… is so much better than the G604. I really love the button set up on these mice. It’s just every single one dies out eventually, weird bugs… wireless issues. I just gave up.

Your internet connection has nothing to do with the wireless connection of your mouse to your computer.
I was using a G602 as well but it was having issues where it would just stop moving for a couple of seconds. I’m pretty sure the receiver is just garbage.
I have had zero issues with the Pro Wireless.
I have two here. One I have for 5 years, and survived a transatlantic travel in a checked bag. The other one I bought after 2 years I had that one because I had two computers for gaming then. They still work fine to this day, and I am not gentle with it, because here we can buy them like candy, they are not as expensive as they are there.
I think either your sources bought cheap knockoffs, or they are just spewing garbage they dont know about. Oh, maybe they just dont clean it and use it over the kitchen sink. Who knows ?
i tried the Razer Naga years ago… I laughed at how much I paid for it and my thumbs hit to many buttons because they are all crammed together. Build quality on razer products is really great tho

Yeah, I’ve never had these issues but I know of people that have. It’s why I hate recommending Razer to people since usually I have better luck. Though I usually use different companies. Like Razer is my mouse and gamepad. But my keyboard is a logitech g815 and my headset is actually a Sony WH-1000XM4. xD

I never knew EVGA made mice! That’s a good looking mouse.
