If you like the ergonomics and extra buttons the g502 is good, I used the Lightspeed myself for a long time, dont know if the new g502 X /X lightspeed/X plus is good. But don't get the Corsair Darkstar, it's a great mouse, when it works, I've had nothing but problems. But I really need the buttons

I have to deal with Razer shitty products, because 99% of gaming mice are made for literal gnomes and there isn't any bigger mmo mouse for my bear paws. Except maybe Darkstar from Corsair, which is even more expensive than naga...

First of all, do not get the Corsair darkstar. I had one for about a week and was done with it in the first two days... Worse than a $20 microsoft mouse. I just got the kone xp Air about two weeks ago. It is amazing... I play mobas, fps games, mmos, rts, etc. I've never liked two button mice, yes, even while playing cs2 or val. Dont worry about getting the roccat vs. turtlebeach version. The only difference is a laser printed logo, lol. Form factor wise, this is THE mouse for valves' upcoming MOBA, Deadlock. It's almost like it was made for deadlock. ☆HAS 5 SIDE BUTTONS FOR A 5+2 CLUSTER(604 is 6+2 cluster, naga is just 6 button cluster) *PROS: ☆M1 AND M2 SOUND AND FEEL GREAT. I can't say the same for that piece of shit cosair darkstar. •The skates are a very nice shape and offer better stability than the 604. •It's lighter than the 604, 502, razer naga, and the darkstar. •The "+" & "-" buttons are placed better than the 604. •The "paddle" button is absolutely genius! I've bound it to "5" and it's my quick melee in games that have that, I dont fw the "[+]easyshift" feature(never tried it). •Apparently, this mouse is really good at drag clicking? I've never cared about drag clicking personally. •Battery life is quite good! •charging dock, although gimmicky, i love it. •sensor actually works... again, i can't say the same for that piece of shit Corsair darkstar. •no AA battery wobble... lol. *CONS: •scroll wheel on the g604 is the greatest scroll wheel of all time. Do not expect this or any mouses' scroll wheel to beat it •No scroll lock, although i found that slightly gimmicky anyway. •The thumb divet(NOT THUMB REST) under the buttons is slightly too far back unless you do an aggressive claw grip. •The "pinch distance" between thumb and ring finger is slightly smaller than 604. •The palm rest doesn't go to the base of your hand like the 604 and 502 do. •The right side is slightly slippery and convex. •M2 is convex for some reason. It still feels nice, but like, why? •slightly short. •small amount of pre-travel on paddle button. *NITPICKS: •Flaired bottom is unnecessary on the right side. •RGB is unnecessary. Also, it shines onto the see-through palm rest, causing hard light lines at the base of the mouse. Turning RBG down solves this issue. •"4D wheel" isn't a selling point, nor is it new... tons of mice have this. •NOT THE FABLED "G604X," lol. CONFIGURATION: If you want the 604 feel, you'll need to bind the side buttons to: [1] [4] or [1] [2] [2] [3] ~ [4] [3] [5] ~ [5] Alternatively(not recommended): [1] [4] or [1] [5] [2] [5] ~ [2] [4] [3] ~ [3] Idk why it formatted it like this...

i am an fps game player(i.e sweaty ultralight mice) who got into this rabbit hole for ff. i tried g502x (2 3 extra buttons dont justify switching out of a light mouse) and i dont really like the g shift feature i tried corsair scimitar(it doesnt brace your hand so pushing the buttons moves the cursor around which is a pet peeve of mine, also my hands are too small this mouse has a massive hump. MASSIVE), i tried aerox(side buttons are too far forward and non adjustable, also same thing where pressing them is heavy enough where if you press them ur mouse gets pushed to the right slightly, pet peeve) what has kinda worked for me is the corsair darkstar, although with my small hand the hump is still too high but ur mileage may vary

Scroll wheels are just fucking dogshit in general on Corsair mice. Every Corsair mouse I've used, problems always start in the mouse wheel long before anything else.

Any hyperspeed option from razer, these mice are all close to 100g with the double A battery in them and they're all very decent. Maybe a redragon m913 which is a BIG mmo mouse but VERY heavy with all weights in it. Over 150g. Corsair darkstar is a almost neutral shape with 98g, probably the highest quality mouse on this list.

I love my corsair darkstar. It's my favourite MMO mouse I've tried.
