    Finally going to get an MMO mouse and fix my keybinds

    Any suggestions for how to set this up? I play many jobs so I will need to bind keys which work for all of them.

    Logitech g600 is heavenly. It comes with a third mouse click button, which you can bind to a modifier. This allows for essentially 24 buttons all on the mouse itself. My setup makes very little use of the keyboard for combat because of this.

    Although I have yet to try it myself, I have heard very good things about the Razer Naga. And likely will be the mouse I switch to if I ever opt to try something else.

    I have a Razer Naga, but it seems like the Logitechs are easier to handle, because the side buttoms have a different shape, helping you to differentiate them. I'm really bad at this and I used to fat finger other skills. So I bound the same skills 2-3 times around that area -.- So I play with a mix of keyboard/mouse, having the most important skills key-bound in my mouse.

    I would also second the Logitech g600. Love this mouse, and would get another if ever it broke. I did have a hard time with it for about 2 weeks as it was so much larger than my old mouse, but well worth the time it took getting used to it.

    As far as my HUD layout and how I've keybound things, I tried to make the layout in game match the button layout (3x4 pattern). Example:



    So basically the first column uses buttons 1-12, second column uses g-shift + 1-12, 3rd column I don't actually have bound to the mouse, but it would be easy do to so if I needed it.

    I have an old, tired mind, and so it makes my life easier having the HUD and mouse keys match visually I'm sure there are far more creative ways you could make it work for yourself.

    I use a Corsair Scimitar mouse. I have mapped all 12 keys to my F-keys, 1-12. I also use Shift and Ctrl modifiers giving me 36 total possible keybinds just on my mouse!

    Bind the buttons to ctrl, alt, ctrl-alt, ctrl-shift, alt-shit, and then change your hotbars to those modifiers and like 1-5 or so. That's what I did, I have the same mouse.

    You can make combos, so its not a key, but it mimics holding both alt and shift together.

    G shift is a thing that changes what the buttons do when you hold it i think, i dont use it.
