I have exactly the same problem with my Roccat Leadr right now 😭

I love the Roccat Leadr, but they don’t make it anymore. When it dies or if I were to start over I’d probably try the redragon m903 to start.

That's very interesting. I'm going to try that with my work mouse. For my home mouse, it puts all the buttons in a strange place and I wouldn't be able to use any of the [additional buttons](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/4yTv5Lfdgc0/maxresdefault.jpg). But I might be able to print an extension to the back of the mouse so I'd effectively be doing the same thing. Food for thought, I'll see what I can design and print and see if it works out. I had tried creating a wrist-rest as a separate piece, but I never found that it supported in quite the right way and it got annoying having it there. But if it were attached to the main mouse body that might help things. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll try to work on it when I have some free time and see if I can adjust my grip for the normal mouse I use at work.

Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately that still only has a couple of buttons. I’m really looking for something like the roccat Leadr (which they don’t even make anymore sadly). Or at least a mmo style pad like a naga v2 pro. Something that can handle a bunch of commands from the mouse directly.

Thanks yeah, that does have a couple more buttons. More of the direction I'm looking for. It's only $30 so I might just try it and see if I can move some stuff off the mouse and onto other keyboard shortcuts. My favorite mouse is [this Roccat Leadr, ](https://www.newegg.com/roccat-roc-11-852-leadr-usb-2-0-rf-wireless/p/N82E16826436061)which has about 8 extra buttons I use but then also has a "Shift" button on the thumb adding another 6 buttons effectively. In practice for example in AOE2, this allows me to select idle military and eco units, 4 building types, and assign and activate 4 different groups of military units (like knights, archers, rams, and monks) on the fly. There's also like a flappy side paddle that makes scrolling web pages a very pleasant experience. All of those buttons in my video editor have different functions like cutting in and out points, moving the playhead around, or cutting/pasting clips. The software for assigning them isn't brilliant as it can only hold 4 programs at a time but it switches between them effortlessly in the background. Honestly if I could just get this exact mouse in a vertical format I think I'd be thrilled! But since they don't even make the flat one anymore I guess the market isn't likely to demand a vertical version.

Yea my rec would be a ROCCAT Leadr but they don’t make it anymore :(

First of all. Shape is king. Don't be worried about all the new optical tech and weight reduction. As someone who owns about 24 mice I've come to appreciate shape more than anything. There's no point in a weight class if your hand is gonna cramp in the first hour you're playing. At that point it doesn't matter what new tech is in the mouse or how feathery light it is. You're going to develop carpal tunnel down the line if you go at it like that. First, measure your hand and if you have the opportunity to test more in person like at an electronics store or if you have a friend that can let you borrow their mice with a different shape then your own go for it. I also highly encourage you watch different mouse reviews of different mice once you sort of come to that conclusion. The og Viper Ultimate is an excellent starting point to jump off of when exploring different mice. If I may, here are some things to consider/ look for when looking into other mice. - First of all, your Viper Ultimate is a bit of a flat mouse. The Viper Mini is wired but has a bit of a hump. This is highly subjective among gamers/ mouse enthusiasts because it affects how your palm is placed on the mouse itself. - Wired or not wired. Some prefer it wireless so there's no drag, but there are some mice that have very light braided cables or rubber cables. I personally use a Roccat Kone Pure Ultra that I switch off from my Ninjutso Sora. Please note that wired DOES add weight to the mouse, but depending on what kind of cable and if you use a mouse bungee or not will affect your gameplay. Having it wired never really bothered me. - Speaking of shape is king, there are mice that have different shapes and button layouts that you may find interesting. As I said before, The Roccat Kone Pure Ultra is one of my favorite mice in my collection. My first ever mouse was the older Roccat Owl Eye and I loved it for its shape. It has a bit of a curve that makes it more of a right hand mouse, but as a right handed person the curve actually suited my grip style. It also uses Titan mechanical switches that feel crisp to me. Is it faster than the switches in Razer's newer mice? Probably not, but I personally prefer the feel of the press over the latency test in game, which are marginal at best in my own personal testing. My other favorite mouse is the g502. Consider it's shape, multiple button options and the infinite scroll wheel where you can toggle a switch to have the scroll wheel spin instead of click in steps. It's heavier even without weights, but it's a comfortable mouse that also doubles as a nice productivity mouse for work. I would look into if having more buttons for your gaming/ productivity for work would be beneficial for your setup. - Don't worry about things like 8k polling rates or the newer switches that gets put into the newer mice. Unless you have an extremely beefy PC and a crazy monitor you won't really see those returns. Even if you had those in your setup, your performance still comes down to how comfortable you are to land your shots. Remember, even back then during the early days of Twitch and competitive online gaming that made certain streamers rich and famous, even they started off using wired mice. Ninja used a Logitech G502 and even used his own Finalmouse Ninja collab for years before going wireless. It just goes to show that practicing with the mouse that feels the most comfortable is what works. I hope this helps!

Roccat Leadr wouldve been your soulmate here. But alas its discontinued. RIP absolute legend of a mouse.

Man i mustve got very lucky cuz none of my products defected apart from one mouse and man i wished they kept it on the market. Got a Kone Pro Air and had it since 2023 still kickin, wished Leadr was still going though what a fucking workhorse.

I startet GW2 10 Years ago with a Roccat Tyon, then i changed to the Leadr (the newer version of the Tyon). Unfortunately this mous was discontinued years ago but without this mouse i would never be able to play GW2 again like now. I also bought instandly a nearly not used one from Ebay after i found it by luck. It was over MSRP but yea.... For me the prefect mouse and i looked around a lot and never found something similar that was even close.
