The original Razer Diamondback ( yes I am old) is the GOAT mouse
For me it's definitely the Steelseries Rival 300. I tried different mice over the years but every time I went back to the rival. I really love the shape and I wish some Chinese brand would make a clone. Honorable mention is the Razer Diamondback.
My favorite is Diamondback
My Razer Diamondback, 2004-2021, just the fucking plastic thing inside left button erased lol

Interesting point! With the Lancehead I never had that issue, but when I used the old Diamondback I did sometimes hit a side button by accident — so I get what you mean. And that right-handed keypad idea is actually pretty interesting. I’d never really considered using something like that, but I’ll definitely take a look.
Sensors back then weren't as good as they are now but when it comes to shapes. Creative Fatality 1010, Razer Diamondback, Razer Copperhead, Logitech MX518, Steelseries Kinzu, Steelseries Xai.
Razor Diamondback, probably 2005 I don’t do Razor anymore
Razer Diamondback but previously had a Microsoft Intellimouse which was before gaming mices were a thing but it was a popular mouse between players and inspired Razer Deathadder.
