I like the Nightsword myself. The thumb shelf is a game changer.

Gonna third this, specifically the Nightsword mouse from Corsair I have three programmable buttons and it helps a lot My fingers can hit everything else I've macrod to my keyboard. When I did upgrade once to an MMO mouse I didn't like how small the buttons were and found it more of a hindrance than anything else.

i currently use the corsair nightsword rgb and it is definitely showing its age lol, i preordered one of these based on your review! my favorite thing about the nightsword was how light and shallow the actuations were on its mechanical switches so hopefully i can get a similar experience here. itll be a bit weird moving from an ergo mouse to logitech's safe shape, but it cant be THAT hard, right?

Corsair Nightsword RGB. Objectively, there isn't anything functionally wrong with it but over the two years that I had it I've grown to hate the wire and the build quality did not hold up. Side panels creak and all the programmable buttons are loose. Additionally, the whole mouse feels gross to use, as the rubberized grips have disintegrated to the point it exposes the underlying plastic and over the years a bunch of "gamer gunk" has gotten stuck in the grooves and the texture of the rubberized grips. I have tried cleaning it. Finally, its heavy. It has given me wrist pain and I will soon be upgrading to the Pro x2 Superstrike. That's a 49% weight reduction, so my wrist will be thanking me. As a side note, do not get Corsair peripherals. They kind of suck. I tried upgrading from the Nightsword RGB to the Corsair M75 but the two products that I got both had really bad QC.

The Ironclaw and the Nighsword are close 2nd and 3rd, but the Dark Core wireless might be it. Its big, not *too* heavy and has the right click and look. Ive tried some Logitech, NZXT and Steelseries mice but none have felt right. Im a little too brand loyal to Corsair though because theyve never steered me wrong in terms of quality and aesthetics.

Corsair Nightsword RGB. It's the absolute best feeling fit for my bear paws. The button placement, the mouse texture, and the little ledges on the edges of the button feel super precise, and 'clicky', and the extra thumb button is just perfect for anything sniping-related (or for movement skills\\quick stuff in POE). Variable weights, and the extra side wing-piece to rest your thumb on are just icing on the cake.
