I’ve used the OG naga, the Logitech G600, and the Corsair Scimitar. All are solid mice, the naga lasted 5 years or so, got it during the ICC raid patch in wows wrath of the lich king expansion. Replaced it with another that only lasted 2 I think. Both had the same problem, the dreaded double left click caused by internal button structure wearing down. You can do short term fixes for it, but it gets annoying. The Logitech lasted about 6 years, different issue, the side buttons stopped responding to input on the 7-9 row, where I keep my big hitter abilities in my task bar. Got the Corsair to replace it as I had heard good things and it’s still going strong. I like the Corsair ICUE software, as others said, it’s a bit awkward until you get the hang of it, but I love that you can sync profiles up with other peripherals, so the mutual lighting effects are matching in my keyboard and headset to. You can also set the devices to ignore the ICUE software and keep a default setup on the onboard memory if you’re taking it elsewhere and want it to feel familiar.
Think that was right around the time their QC started plummeting.
My original naga lasted me 6 years, then made the mistake of getting 2 newer ones that failed in months.

If you want another mouse with a ring finger click then your options are either the "hedgehog mmo mouse" or importing a "logicool g600" which is a g600 its just the japanese version which is still in production.
I've never used the hedgehog so I can't vouch for it, just a mouse I discovered looking for a mmo mouse to replace my g600 since the width and weight are causing me hand issues. Unfortunately for me this thing also looks like a chonker.
The sad truth is there are no quality mmo mice on the market at the moment. You'll have people come in here and tell you otherwise, but there's really only the main 4 known brands and all of them have issues and horrible QC. Every single time I say this some goober pops up to say they've had their mouse for years and its been the best thing since sliced bread not understanding that they won the RNG lottery... but its always a gamble.
Your options are basically one of the razer nagas, corsair scimitar, steelseries aerox 9, or red dragon.
Razers been a shit company for a long time now with horrible QC and synapse is horrific software that can sometimes actually cause performance issues in game.
Corsair similarly has really shit software, the mouse has common QC issues with the scroll wheel failing and I personally experienced the issue where the top housings plastic is softer than the switch its actuating so eventually it gets indented and stops actuating.
Steelseries I've lost the RNG lottery with them and I'm 3 for 3 on products arriving defective. I really liked the aerox 9's shape and how light it was, but messing with it it genuinely has the worst side buttons out of any mmo mouse I've tried.
And then red dragons a budget brand and you're getting what you paid for... but at least you've only spent like 20-30 smacks when it does fail.
Very much a pick your poison situation at the moment... which is why I haven't yet replaced my g600 cause I haven't wanted to give more money to any of these brands.
I JUST learned yesterday that pulsar recently announced they're coming out with an mmo mouse but there's no details on it as of yet. Its supposed to come out this year, so here's hoping its the first decent quality mmo mouse in a long time.
Yup. After they redesigned the side buttons on the OG naga I told myself I'm ordering extra of whatever mouse I like. 2 spare unopened G600 in the closet but this one has lasted a very long time lol.
I've owned 3 nagas since 2009. They last quite a while for me and I use them daily. The first broke through my own error (tripped on the cord and broke the USB), the second I can't remember exactly what happened but it still lasted for several years, and I've been using the Naga Pro V2 for nearly 3 years now and never had an issue with it. I don't know if I'm just exceptionally lucky or people don't take care of their things.
In that case I hope I continue being lucky because the Naga was instantly my favorite mouse and I really don't know what I will replace it with if I have to move to something else. I've tried a couple other MMO mice and I haven't found one that is as comfortable for me.
Nagas used to be good, my original og one lasted like 8 yrs or so before it died. All thru the crazy sc2 clicks and dota even. The subsequent replacements are not the same build as they used to be.
