MMO mouse recommendations? (lemm.ee)

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 would never trust a Razer product again, I’ve owned two of their Nagas and they both failed (double-clicking issue) within a year. Everyone in my WoW guild who have experience with MMO nice report the same problem with Razer mice.

I personally have the Scimitar, recently bought a new one as my old one from ~2019 (I think is when I bought it) had the inverse problem; holding right click to move camera would “drop” the hold randomly.

I own a lot of Corsair products and iCue is probably the least garbage peripheral software I’ve used over the years.

I've also had a lot of problems with many mice from both Razer and Logitech double clicking. I ended up with an ASUS Gladius II as the switches are replacable without soldering, and ordered spares off AliExpress. Not an MMO mouse though, sadly.

This has been my experience as well. I love the Naga for comfort and function, but after my second one broke I swore off them as well. Granted, this was some years ago now, so maybe their build quality had improved since then.

Yeah it was some years ago for me too but the anecdotes haven’t stopped coming from people I know, so I suspect build quality hasn’t improved that much.
