Mouse With Side Buttons Recommendation (PS5 FF XIV)

[ChocoPuni]

Hello, pumpkins

Can anyone recommend me a mouse with side buttons which would be recognized by FF XIV on PS5? Please see the attached image for reference.


This is Corsair Scimitar Pro RGB and I'd like something similar. I can't get used to playing without 12 buttons on the side. I tried Logitech G600 but couldn't get used to it and I'd constantly keep pressing the third mouse button accidentally.

Razer Naga Trinity, maybe? Any other options? I want something that I won't have to return, so I'd appreciate if someone recommends what they know for sure will work in console FF XIV.

I've got both the Naga Trinity and the Scimitar Pro RGB, conveniently enough. The Scimitar has nice large buttons (and the button-pad can be slid forward or back, which is great for folks with smaller hands), but I have been using the Naga as my primary gaming mouse so long that the Corsair's button placement still feels a little 'off' to me. In addition, while Corsair has great build quality, Corsair's PC software (iCUE) is literally the worst device support software I have ever used. This is not an exaggeration; it is so bad that I half-jokingly think that inflicting it on customers should almost qualify as some sort of minor cyber-crime.

However, many MMO mice require the software drivers that run on the PC in order to work, which is why quitting the software on PC will cause the side buttons to stop working on many mice. For instance, connecting the Naga Trinity to a Playstation (at least last time I checked) didn't work, as there was no driver to handle the side buttons, and no onboard memory to allow the mouse to store mappings for those buttons. The Scimitar Pro does have onboard memory; if you program one of the hardware profiles via iCUE on PC and then plug it in on PS5 it should in theory work, though I won't swear to it as I haven't actually tried myself.

(I could attempt it after work today, though; I mostly play on PC, but I have a PS5, a Playstation license for FFXIV, and a Corsair Scimitar Pro...)

Sadly, the only one I know is guaranteed to work is the G600, which you rule out above.

I finally figured out how to do the onboard memory on Scimitar and tried using the mouse on PS5. It did not work >_< I'll just continue playing on PC, though it's a bummer. If I'd have to use voice-chat, my laptop would be too noisy.
G600 feels weird to me.
