2 extra buttons on top and maybe 6 on the side at most I’d say before it starts getting hard to click, so like a 12 button mouse at most. but I’ve found 8 button mouse to be the most comfortable for me and it’s what I’d recommend for MMO’s and age, but that being said if you can learn to use an 18 button mouse it’s a huge help, makes it so quick to react, but if you’ve only used a 5 button standard mouse up to now might be too steep a jump into 18 buttons right away. They tend to be pricier per button too. I’m on the basalisk v3 by razer rn

You can go for the Razer Cobra. I started using the G502 in 2016, and it stopped working in 2022. After that, I switched to the Razer Basilisk V3, but it stopped working last month. Now I’m back to using the G502, though I’m planning to switch to the PRO X Superlight 2 DEX Wireless.

I didn’t use the Cobra. I used the Razer Basilisk V3. My aim was somewhat better with the Razer compared to the G502, but I feel like you’ll eventually get used to whatever you use. In future I definitely go with lightweight mouse.

I had a Razer Basilisk V3 which I loved the shape but unfortunately backwards scroll was super annoying and I ended up changing to a Alphyn AM10 from PowerColor. Pretty happy with it, I had used it previously at a friends and was quite surprised so I ended up swapping my V3.

I run Hestra size 11 or 12 or XXL for US glove sizes. I have various Razer basilisk v3 versions and I'd be interested if there was something bigger, too. I feel like I put pressure on the mouse via the thumb and rest the palm near the index/middle finger joints. The ring and pinkie fingers don't do much. I am older and am a high e-dpi user (say 5.4k in first person shooters). This style might be problematic if I aimed from the elbow and had to do big drags across the mouse pad and pinkie drag.

I have been using this Razer Basilisk V3 for many years. Held up great over the years I use it for fast paced shooters like: CSGO 2 and COD BO6 it still performs great.
