ColdBeerPirateThe Turtle Beach Kone XP II was built for people like us with larger hands. I think you ought to give it a try. It's very natural feeling in your hands.

ArthurWoodberryI currently use the Kone XP which replaced a Logitech G700s. I liked the Logitech a little better but I can live with this one. But yeah, there aren’t a lot of good options if you want more than 2 side buttons but don’t want to go all the way for a whole ass numpad on the side of your mouse.
didaxyzRoccat Kone XP is nice and has a lot of extra buttons
havok_hijinksRoccat Kone XP is not even on the list and it's better than most of them imho.
Healthy_BrAd6254The original Kone Pure from early 2010s were so good. Rock solid build quality and they lasted forever. I used one for like 5 years. It's over 10 years old now and it still works. The modern Roccat Kone XP, while still noticeably better than Razer and about the same as Logitech, has definitely worse build quality than the older mice. But it's still a great mouse for productivity.
junnehKone XP is a nice hybrid. I cant use mmo mouse for other games (shooter) but i can with the kone
kyuss80That Redragon M908 is decent. I bought it to try it out when War Within was coming out, and I was trying to find a new MMO mouse. Used it for a while. I ended up buying the newer Corsair Scimitar and honestly didn’t really love it either. There’s a Roccat (now Turtle Beach) Kone XP mouse that has 5 side buttons,and 2 buttons on the top side, that worked out pretty well, I actually bought 2 so I had a spare lol. Using that I can get creative with keybinds (Q, E, etc) and with 1-5 or so on my keyboard it covers more abilities than I need. Now if I played Classic WoW Hunter with 40 abilities I’d want the whole side pad of 12 buttons though lol
LlamaalarmallamaMissing the GOAT imo. Have had: Intellimouse v3 Razer Habu Razer Lachesis Random weird cheap one Logitech MX600 Other weird cheap one Steelseries Wow mouse 1 & 2. Logitech G700, G700s, G700s (previous GOAT imo) Logitech G502's (a good few) Roccat Kone XP Roccat Kone XP is THE absolute greatest mouse that's ever existed. It's Roccat's "Swan Song". The last mouse made under their brand before Turtle Beach fully absorbed them and the Roccat branding pretty much disappeared. It's absolutely the best thing ever created as a mouse. Even the "gimmicky" thumb "shift switch" is perfectly placed/balanced to double up keys available. Uses optical switches so there's none of the "logitech/omron microswitch plate inside fades with time" issues. The G502 is a VERY VERY good mouse. The Kone XP is absolutely better in every meaningful way. Still exists, now under turtle beach branding. TB absolutely suck donkey balls, I'd buy a TB branded one if either of the Kone XP's I have died. It's light, a TINY bit wider than the G502, similar weight/size/shape otherwise. It being Roccat, I think most folks missed it. They had typical German levels of good engineering, their software was terrible. TB coming in sorted the software. If they haven't messed with/cheapened the internals, still utterly peerless imo.
The "numpad on the side of the mouse" thing is fine. I find having SO many buttons clustered like that, muscle memory takes a LOT of training or is never quite precise enough. An MMO mouse needs a lot of buttons, yes, they need to be in more sensible places. Roccat Kone XP ticks the box. Will happily die on the hill of it being the (current) GOAT.
If you like G502 but don't like the omron switches eventually turning to mush, Roccat (now Turtle Beach, sadly) Kone XP fixes probably every issue/insufficiency with the G502. If you were ever a G700/s lover, it's absolutely the spiritual successor.
