Good MMO Mouse?

[xBlizzDevious]

Hi all,

 

I've had a Corsair M95 for nearly 4 years now but the scroll wheel on it fell into the mouse and no longer works. I loved the mouse and would likely buy it again but I want to see what your opinions on other mice are before I do so.

 

I need the following:
- standard buttons (obviously)
- back & forward buttons
- scroll wheel with middle-click

- ~3k DPI (or more and ability to set lower)
- preferably two or more additional buttons for setting up macros.

 

Thanks in advance!

Ticks the boxes, however I'd feel that there's too many buttons that are too easy to press. How does back/forward work (specifically mouse4 and mouse5 in-game)

I have been using a Cytec MMO7 for a few years now. The thumbstick is really nice.

That is not the classification I would list for an MMO mouse but I agree with @Zackfoo's recommendation of the M600. Mined served me well until I replaced it with a Naos 7000

wait. how many buttons you need? typically mmo mouse involves tons of buttons like g600 or corsair latest the smither or some shit like that i can't speel it and i lazy to look it up. 

so if you just need mouse 4 and 5 which means only 2 then get common mouse will do some have 2 or 3 even 4.

Razer naga has done a few of my friends pretty well. Buttons are not easy to accidentally press every time i've used it

I got used to the buttons fast and almost never pressed something on accident. I would try to avoid lifting it since you might run into accidtenal presses morte easily but even then it is not a real issue.

I don't specifically want an "MMO" mouse, but I want more than the standard + mouse4/5. ie. left, right and middle clicks, forward, back and two or more buttons that are programmable and macro-able.

Cool. What's Razer's software like for macros and such? I had a Lachesis 5600 before the M95 but I don't remember how it was - just that it only worked properly with a specific version of the driver.

Ok. Do some of the buttons behave as back/forward and/or are they programmable as such?

Do you mean the Cyborg MMO7 by Mad Catz? I can't find a "Cytec MMO7".

All programmable in 3 profiles per programm and can me have 2 functions similar to pressing the shift key to get another letter on your keyboard. Software is ok. I never worked with it to much but there were not major complications.

I think I might just say no to that one based on the price. Ouch!!!

 

£70 for a mouse is quite a bit, but £115? Nope. Just nope.

If you don't want a full-on "MMO mouse" with the numpad, you might want to check out Logitech G502 and CM Storm Sentinel III. They offer extra buttons without going too overboard and have great sensors unlike most MMO mice.

Thanks for the input, guys. I went to the local computer shop and they had a G502 in stock which seemed to be most suited to my needs so I bought that. Relatively impressed with it so far but it'll take some getting used to as it's quite different from the M95.
