I’m looking for a new mouse with MMO side buttons, and was wondering what Lemmy thought about it.
My current mouse is a cheapo Red Dragon M901. I love the ergononics, but the durability of the scroll wheel isn’t great. I had to replace the mouse about a year ago because the scroll wheel died (really stiff + wouldn’t click), and now this one is starting to show the same symptoms.
I would like wireless (esp. bluetooth), but I’m a little skeptical about it because my last wireless mouse (EVGA X20) had really inconsistent wakeup. Sometimes it would fall asleep while I was reading something, and I’d have to shake it for 2-5 seconds to wake it back up. That’s extremely annoying :/
The razer naga mice seem like the top tier stuff, but they’re very pricey and my experience with razer hardware reliability in the past has not been great.
Also I’m a linux user, so if the mouse comes with a linux compatible configuration utility, that’s a plus (open source? that’s a plus plus even if the mouse itself is mid :P)

I have the Razer Naga and it works reliably well. Though I use the buttons for work-related macros like copy, paste, delete, and screenshot. There is software for Linux called OpenRazer that I hear works well with the Naga mice. My only complaint with the it is that it has RGB and isn’t wireless.
Edit: forgot to mention the main reason I went with the Naga was because they had a left-hand version.
