ROCCAT (Turtle Beach) - Nyth

Roccat Nyth if you can find one anymore. Otherwise I got pretty used to the Aerox 9

Plenty aftermarket ones in the EU (Germany) if you can find a connection. Was after all a German company

The Nyth hasnt been in production for years but you can still find a ton in the European secondary market at least.  Highly recommend it

Best is subjective, depends on your hand size, button layout preferences, weight perferences etc. For sure wired though. I have a roccat nyth and its perfection.

Lol its discontinued thats why. I came from a corsair m95 and really loved buttons wrapping around my thumb so it can rest on a part without buttons. The nyth allows me to make that setup. I bought 2 just in case my current one breaks for 40 euros each haha but im not selling that. Getting used to a new mouse when you play a lot of mmos is really tedious.

The Roccat Nyth was fairly big when using the larger extension for it. It was customizable with being able to swap out thumb buttons and a grip extension. Unfortunately it's discontinued.

Razer Naga is the best. I've used like 10 different MMO mice and the Razer Naga is just the best one. Brands MMO mouse I have used had terrible software problems. Although the Naga isn't totally perfect either. But its the best imo. Edit: Logitech G600 was trash. Kept having weird mouse issues where the mouse would bounce around. Happened with 2 different ones years apart. Honestly the worst MMO mouse I used. Also the ergonomics on it were the worst as well. Razer Naga Molten was good but the mouse button wore out within 6 months and I needed to open it up and hot glue the clicker to keep it working. Roccat Nyth was good and probably the longest lasting mouse I had. It started falling apart the mouse of any mouse I owned and was by far the most fragile feeling. Contradictory but thats how it was. Corsairs MMO mouse sucked ass. Kept having weird software problems. Razer Naga X wired so far is the best MMO mouse I've used. Had it 2 years now about and the biggest problem I have had was this weird problem where scrolling up/down would bounce around weirdly. But blowing air into it would fix it. It hasn't had that problem for a really long time though now. I've used more but I cant remember them off the top of my head. I used to have a literal pile of them in a box somewhere but I threw it away a few months ago. TL;DR though the MMO mouse scene is a bunch of garbage but the Razer Naga X is the least Garbage one I have used.

Your demand shall be satisfied. The theme of my collection is twelve side buttons and only one mouse per brand. Corsair Scimitar - the flashy Lambo: I bought it as „refurbished“ in 2017. As a car guy I love the design. I have rather large hands and it fits me perfectly. 17 buttons total. The sidebuttons are adjustable in position. It has five different RGB zones. The cable is pretty stiff (they released a wireless version about a year ago). The scroll wheel is the second worst of them all. The scroll is inconsistent and rattly but other models of Corsair mice have this problem as well. The rubber coating got disgusting after a while so I sanded it down. I had to replace the middle mouse switch a while back. Other that it has been great and my daily driver at home. Razer Naga V2 Hyperspeed - the best overall: My daily driver at work. 19 buttons total. It has a great scroll wheel with consistent, noticeable clicks, freewheeling, side scrolling. It runs on AA-battery which I really like and has a dongle storage space. The build quality is good and it has no coating which makes it easy to clean. I also like the two extra buttons on the left. At home I find the button and scroll wheel are a bit too loud but at work it’s fine. It also works via bluetooth, without the software including all buttons (except self recorded macros and delete key for some reason). Roccat Nyth - the stealth fighter: It has been discontinued for like 5 years and is really hard to get. 18 buttons total. It looks great. I just recently got it and it might tie the Corsair in looks and ergonomics. You can change the buttons and button layout: fewer buttons, different layouts, different shapes. You can also change the right finger rest which really changes the looks and feel. I have the wide one installed. It also has a rubber coating which is hard to clean. I opened it once and the build quality is really good and it’s over engineered, which I love. It even has a switch for easy ejection of the side buttons. The buttons have a good feel and are easily distinguishable because they are staggered like on a staircase. It has no side scrolling and fewer buttons overall though. In place of side scrolling it has a “shark fin” which you can flick left or right. For that you have to lift your fingers from the main buttons though. The grey stealthy look with the tasteful RGB and the modularity are the highlights. Logitech G600 - the tank: 20 buttons total. Discontinued, hard to get for less then 80€. I luckily got mine for about 30 in mint condition. Heaviest of them all: 131g. It feels planted and dense. Great ergonomics. Third button next to the right click. It has side scrolling and the wheel is almost silent. The build quality is good but it’s also rubber coated which still feels great though. I‘m trying two swap it for a white one. Steel Series Aerox 9 - the lightweight convertible: It’s the lightest with about 93g. 18 buttons total. It has two design flaws: The mouse skates aren’t spread out wide enough so it tends to tip to one side (I fixed it with additional skates). It’s open which makes it hard to clean but thats also it’s whole thing. The sidebuttons are to hard to press. It’s wireless and has bluetooth which is great. I like the silent scroll wheel. Redragon M990 - all the buttons: It has 16!! sidebuttons and 4 behind the scroll wheel. 24 buttons total. Those last two behind the wheel kinda get in the way. The RGB is tacky. Ergonomics and the scroll wheel are decent. MadCatz MMOTE - the crazy one: Well it’s eccentric. 19 buttons total. You can adjust the palm rest which is cool. It’s red and has some tacky decals. With my hans it tends to tip to the back. Worst ergonomics of them all. Worst build quality. No RGB. And the scroll wheel doesn’t work which seems to be a theme among used ones. HAVIT HV-MS735 - nothing special: 19 buttons total. It’s pretty long which fits my hands well but the pinky and ring finger have no real place to go and end up squished together. The buttons are ok, the scroll wheel is ok. I‘m missing the Titanwolf System, Rytaki R6 and the Turtlebeach Grip Arena. The last two I‘ll probably never optain because they are super rare.

You probably right. The Roccat Nyths‘ twelve buttons are pretty distinct though. They are staggered in kind of a staircase way.

Yeah Roccat Nyth! Great in my opinion!

I seriously wish Turtle Beach would revive the Roccat Nyth... That mouse was ahead of its time and then discontinued. If they modernized it by making it lighter, wireless, and with modern internals, I wouldn't use anything else.

I am dreading the day my Roccat Nyth dies for good. I managed to buy two more used ones. I will have a hard time adjusting to any other 20 Button mouse...

Everday I miss my Roccat Nyth, it was perfect.

It depends on what I'm playing but I like my Viper V2 Pro for fps/moba/RTS and I use the Naga V2 for MMO. I have a roccat Nyth that I really like for MMO, it's just not wireless and that's pretty necessary for me now. They might be hard to find now, but it's super cool to be able to completely customize the side buttons

Roccat nyth. I've been using it for 7-8 years I fear the day I'll have to replace it, I've tried almost all the alternative available but the nyth simply feels batter to use than anything else. I regret not buying a a couple when they stopped making it

It is, for me, without question, the Roccat Nyth. It had blanks and buttons in various configuations you could snap in, and schematics for 3d printing your own. Its a great mouse, and nothing I have has given me such perfection. I would pay for a remake, but I don't think its in the cards anymore.. Roccat is very different now.

All I wanted was a Nyth 2, even the keyboards were solid.

Had Razer Naga, naga hex and naga epic, none lived longer than 3 years, still have Roccat Nyth, lasting maybe 7 and Logitech G600 for 6 years, both have extra function buttons when compared to Razer.

I'd check Logitech, depending on location you can get it for almost half the price not at all, G600 works really well, Roccat Nyth has interesting fin button and you can remove buttons for cleaning or rearranging (extra buttons added), personally I haven't tested, but Corsair has one of those with slidable 12 button panel so you can adjust to your grip.

Out of curiocity, how easy is it to press the top 3 buttons on this thing? Feels like it would require letting go of the mouse or hard to press the back 2. Roccat Nyth had such a great thing going with the top fin button you could tilt right/left but sadly it's discontinued now.

That was a nice mouse but mine broke and it’s discontinued :(
