"I absolutely love it. ... Have used one since like 2016 and I can’t play any game without it even non MMOs."
"I personally have been using a razer naga for 15 years now"

"Only the Naga let's me assign shift to one of the middle row buttons, then easily roll my thumb left and right to get shift4 or shift6 from just my thumb."
"Macros will let that be enough to play even a druid in all forms with every spell being useable. ... And this is without stopping movement to reach and without any annoying left pinky stretch ever being required."
"With the Naga I map the center button on the bottom row to shift. ... And with that I can roll my thumb up, left, or right and get another three keybinds. ... And just having shift there also lets me press that for shift, instead of my left pinky. One less thing for my left hand to do. Makes Shift+4 while moving and jumping easier. ... This gives me ready, instant access to the entire hotbar. And with shift, an entire second hotbar (excepting shift+7 and shift+9)."

"It feels so much better in my hand."
"I use them entirely because they feel extremely good in my hand ... whereas the competitors like the corsair and logitech just don't feel right."
"no other MMO mouse has better thumb button size/placement. ... No other mouse fits my thumb that well."

"Once you train yourself to find all the side buttons without looking, it's pretty great. ... I've used it across MMO's, shooters..."
"I customize the buttons for each game, but the main controls stay consistent, which helps me keep things simple. ... Now, I am back to enjoying games like CSGO, ESO, COD, and Rivals."

"When my old old naga finally gave out several years ago, I managed to go through 3 new razer mice in a single year."

"the mouse itself was a little on the smaller side especially the buttons"
"the number 6 is intermittent ... Which is a cleaning issue as it frees up whenever I clean it briefly, I just need to take the time to clean the buttons properly."

"they broke so damn fast"
"The only problem is the scroll wheel always breaks after about 6 months and becomes useless. My 5th Naga just broke with exactly the same problem, and I'm very reluctant to buy another. ... Mine does the same but it's really bad, you can't control where you scroll at all. ... When things get intense in PvP I definitely grip and press the buttons harder than I need to, but I honestly can't help it. The only thing that can't take the punishment seems to be the scroll wheel. Either the click stops registering properly or the scrolling breaks. ... It doesn't always break in exactly the same way, sometimes the click stops registering properly and it either doesn't work or will start double clicking, sometimes the scrolling stops working and starts rubber banding back and forth erratically no matter which way I spin. ... I've been living with the issue for well over a year. ... I definitely think part of it is a me problem, but it happens to enough people that I think the components are just very cheap too and can't take the punishment. From the research I've done today, Razer aren't well known for their longevity that's for sure."

"Or the Razer Naga that is 122g ... I've used all of them and the weight savings on the Aerox helped me no longer get any kind of wrist discomfort after days of longer gaming sessions."
"though heavy"
"It ’s a little bulky for me"
Almyria 1.0The Naga Hex in Wraith Red. The moment I bought my first one I wished I'd had enough cash to buy a 2nd because suddenly you couldn't find them anymore and it was honestly just a beautiful mouse to look at.
DoTAKAMI 1.0I would break your question on 2 sections and view them separately: 1) Ergonomics. Don't take anyone's advice on this, you have to figure it out on you own. The best way is to go to some nearby shop that has a test mouses set up, so you could sit and just feel how they sit in your hand, then remember the shape of the most comfortable one and narrow your choices to that shape/size. All of the features will be meaningless if you'll not be able to comfortably use your mouse for a prolonged time. 2) Side buttons. Your main question. They are indeed very useful, especially for some classes with many slot-only skills, but I would not go with 12+ side buttons MMO mouses, they're more for slow-paced piano-style MMOs (like WoW, La2, etc.), in fast-paced games you have to have a fast response, precision and a good grip (including your thumb), basically what you're looking for is called MOBA mouse, but unfortunately they aren't very popular and there aren't many of those available. The best example of well-designed MOBA mouse is a Naga Hex, but those are not longer produced, there are other styles like few on top few on bottom, all on front/top/bottom, etc. from most of the well known brands and no-name Chinese ones, just try to find the one that has a thumb-rest positioned where you'll feel comfortable + Ergonomics and go with that. In worst case scenario get the FPS ones with 2-3 side buttons, still better than no buttons or piano on the side. MOBA mouses are also quite useful for work on your computer, as they don't interfere with the grip and give you extra options to boost the speed of your work.
forgot_my_useragain 1.0I used a Naga Hex version 1 for almost a decade. I loved that mouse. It finally died on me and the v2 did not feel the same at all. I could only find refurbished v1s for like $200. I rarely used the side buttons but man I loved the feel of that mouse.
HarryNohara 1.0This is nonsense, mouseover healing and click healing are already baked in native into the game. Nothing is going to change there. Nor is side button support (which are just mapped keybinds) going away. I used a Razer Naga Hex V1 for many years on a Mac and it worked perfectly fine. OP just seems to have a software issue with their current mouse. This seems to be the solution: https://www.reddit.com/r/LogitechG/comments/kd1jbj/mx_anywhere_3_side_buttons_mouse_4_and_5_dont/j0e1t4m/?context=3 If you want a relative cheap MOBA mouse, the Razer Naga V2 Hyperspeed is a good option. 12 side-buttons, and was on sale for $65 during Amazon Prime days. I expect the same for upcoming deals during november.
noonesperfect16 1.0I had a Naga Hex for like 12 years and it NEVER gave me issues. Such an amazing beginner gaming mouse. Only 6 buttons on the thumb and they were spread enough to make it REALLY easy to build the muscle memory. My cat decided the cord was a chew toy or I'd still have it. So naturally I bought a Naga Trinity because I had such a good experience with the Hex. Honestly, the Trinity was dog shit by comparison. Not even 6 months later I was having inconsistent issues with the buttons. Sometimes they would double trigger and sometimes they wouldn't at all. Not even a year later I switched to the Logitech G600 and it was kind of annoying to get set up, but it has been great so far. I've had it for over a year and have had no issues. I wasn't sure if I could get used to that many buttons on my thumb, but I did fairly quickly.

Orangebarf 1.0I miss the original hex so much. I have a Trinity and the scroll wheel jumps all over it sucks so much
PaddyBoy1994 1.0The Razer Naga line is MASSIVELY under-appreciated. I'm on my third variant of the Naga. First was a red Naga Hex V1, second was a Hex V2, and current is a Naga X. All three still work, even the Hex V1, which I've had for around 14 years. Super comfortable, and really durable.
most of the people that have tried my mouse have complained about how big it is, so might do ok for you. Razer Naga X, or really any of the mice from the Naga line are decently sized. I've had a Hex V1, a Hex V2, and an X, and all were similar size.
I've got decent sized hands myself, and I've had a lot of friends complain that the mice I use are too big. I've used a few different models from Razer's Naga line, namely the Naga Hex V1, Naga Hex V2, and Naga X.
I'm at like 5 years on my third Naga, still have my first two Nagas, as well, and both still work. My first was a red Naga Hex, and that thing is about 13 years old.
