Just a warning. Almost no one in the world seems to understand the true potential of MMO mice. Every random tech person has played CS:GO and "knows how that type of mouse works", but I have yet to meet a mouse reviewer who has ever seen/used MMO mice on the world competitive stage (esport or otherwise).

 

Hell most of them haven't even tried them with their unbridled potential for generic workflows. 

I probably should have been more specific, I don't play mmo's, I mostly play smite, cs go and other things like currently bioshock, wanting to buy mad max and so on.

I just think that having a lot of buttons allows to just bind all the things i could possibly think of and then having instant access to them.

The scimitar might not exactly be for me then.

Then again it looks best so far and it should do a lot better for cs go then this genius mouse that struggles to track when i move it slightly faster than it likes.

so I need twelve buttons for porn?

 

If you can find a cheap, well built MMO mouse with lots of buttons that works well for you, I don't see any reason not to get it, even if you only end up using 3 or 4 of the buttons. It's always nice having the extra buttons just in case you want to use them in the future for whatever reason. Future proof your gaming.

And again I say I have played every genre of games on the market today, and I have yet to see a single one in which case a 12 button mouse was less efficient than a 2 (side) button mouse.

 

There is always something in use occasionally or rarely to bind.

 

Plus you surf the web and use Office right? Cut/Copy/Paste and so forth are great instant binds.

have a macro for pornhub great idea!

Who says I don't? I have similar yet slightly different profiles for not only all my games, but also all of my programs. Lets just say my browsing experience has never been faster or more secure (instant kill switch on a page anyone? Pesky neighbors and/or roommates...)

I've seen people use all the buttons on a 12+ button MMO mouse playing Wow. The Scimitar is a cheap, future proof mouse for whatever he may (or may not) need those extra buttons for. 

 

I, however, still recommend the G700s. 4 side buttons is manageable and it can be wired. In total it has 8 buttons on top of the L, R, and middle buttons.

 

EDIT: I misunderstood your position, my bad sir.

Is there a store where you could try the mice out? That is really the best way to find the most optimal mouse for you.

 

I wouldn't buy an MMO mouse unless MMOs are the only games you play/you are a professional or a competitive player in MMOs, or if you do a lot of work that requires key shortcuts. Even then I'd just probably take a normal mouse and use my keyboard for the shortcuts. MMO mice tend to give less support for your grip than normal mice do so you'll do much better in FPS and similar games with a regular mouse.

 

If you like the G502, wait for the new revision. Some people have received Proteus Spectrum labeled G502s as warranty replacements from Logitech so it could be that it will be in stores before Christmas. I am quite sure the Spectrum version has RGB-lighting. G502 has the best available sensor to date.
