Ive tried them all almost. Razer Naga and Corsair Scimatar were the most comfortable. I still use my Corsair Scimitar, its my #1. Razer Naga is awesome but they break so easily, i went thru 3 of them. I still have my Logitech G600 from 2011 and it still works, its a tank. My Corsair Scimitar is only 2 years old and still works fine, its the most comfy imo. I play WoW on my mac as well.

Hit 10! I would also add if you are not used to it then it will probably be a little annoying at first because you will try to flick really fast and you’ll accidentally hit a button and pull out something else mid gun fight, just takes a little to get used to, having a delicate or certain grip on the mouse when doing so to avoid it, I no longer accidentally hit the side buttons but just be aware of that if using it in any FPS game! Oh it’s also a bit on the heavier side but I like that, light mice feels like there nothing in my hand and I can’t stand that

I had the OG wired version. It was alright. Pretty damn heavy. I’ve been curious to try the new one, but I have a perfectly good Razer naga still (the one with 3 changing side plates)

I’ve tried 3 different numpad mice. First I had the razer naga, which is probably my favourite, lasted me the longest (5 years) before the right-click stopped working. Corsair scimitar had about a year, it’s decent for the price, software is annoying tho. Switched to the steel series aerox 9 and I am very disappointed. The design is great until you realise the net-style design is perfect for collecting dust and making it a nightmare to clean. It feels fairly cheap despite being a premium mouse and I’ve already had issues with the scroll wheel becoming less responsive only after 9 months of mild use. Worst of all it cost nearly double the other 2 mice I’ve mentioned. I’m getting a new naga when possible. This has been a steel series hate comment.

Started with Nagas in 2009 and replaced them every 3-6 months because of double clicking. Swapped to Scimitars when they released and double clicking was even worse... So now I have just swapped to a Superlight and changed all bindings to keyboard focused instead.

I've had a couple of Scimitars have this problem, but it's a known issue and there's a few good guides to fixing it yourself out there.

I've done well with a Scimitar over the last few years. For most games I have the same side keys set and I move from game to game without having to remember what key does what. It's one mouse I would recommend over any other, even though the scroll wheel can be a bit janky from time to time.
