Gaming gear mouse recommendation

[Taerra]

Thinking of putting a gaming mouse on x-mas list.

I find im a couple buttons short, maybe a mouse would be better over a keyboard.

My dilema is this, I need wireless ( insert game wired debate here ), I play in an IKEA poang chair in front of my TV, having cables is feasible but highly messy (killed my former logitech mouse because the wire tangles kept slamming it on the tile floor).

Some products like the naga epic is all nice and dandy, but so freaking expensive in comparison to their wired counterpart ?

Screw a wireless gaming mouse. I shudder at the thought of the batteries dying during a titan fight.

I use a razer death adder. Not too many buttons, but that's just fine with me.

Only two real options for gaming mice:
-Logitech G9x
-Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer

-Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer

Oh my god, the Intellimouse. I had a 2.0 Intellimouse Explorer that lasted me from 2003 to last year (RIP). What a great mouse.

This is the greatest mmo mouse i've ever used. The 3rd mouse clicker is a game changer. I can never go back.

I had a razer death adder and I loved it even though it only has 2 buttons. However, after less than a year the left mouse button died. Annoyed I decided to go back to logitech and got a g600 12 button mouse, http://gaming.logitech.com/en-us/pro...o-gaming-mouse.

It took me a week to get used to it, but I absolutely love this mouse now. It comes with a good app you can use to set how the buttons work. So I programmed the g600 so that 1-12 is "Shift + Alt + 1 -12" then I made a hotbar in FFXIV that's mound from (Shift + alt) + 1-12 so I can have abilities bound to just the mouse.

Optionally you can bind the mouse to share a hotbar with some other combination. E.g. you could do 1-12 and still use your 1-12 hotbar, then pressing 1 on the keyboard or 1 on the mouse would do the same thing. This method is actually kind of handy because sometimes it's easier to use the mouse and sometimes it's easier to use the keyboard based on where your hands are at the moment of need.

Razor Naga Epic FTW

aside from the battery dying, anything worth of note of why I should NOT get a wireless one ? The G602 logitech looks pretty good, same price as the naga, a few less buttons.

Interference issues can pop up regularly (the various frequencies available are getting quite crowded). Latency issues even when everything is working perfect. Quite a few reasons to not consider a wireless for gaming. For regular browsing and such wireless is fine.

As for the g602 I never really cared for it as it felt cheap and fragile in my hands. The g602 my friend has eats AA batteries like mad.

Personally I stick to simple wired mice. I ran an intellimouse for years (the legendary version that FPS players covet). I replaced the intellimouse with a deathadder years ago. The deathadder eventually went out on me after several years so I bought the 2013 model. So those are the mice I've owned since basically 2001.

I have big hands so I have issues finding mice that fit me.
