SteelSeries - World of Warcraft MMO Gaming Mouse

I have the normal one which has a honeycomb design. Quite like it for my smaller hands and the side buttons are the best I have used other than the Roccat Myth (rip). Also no software necessary is a huge plus

The real ones remember the OG steelseries wow mouse that came out with Wrath

The lower left was the WotLK Steelseries WoW mouse. I liked it, but there was some awkwardness. The Cataclysm edition was incredible, though, and myself and several friends swear by it being the best MMO mouse we’ve ever used. It didn’t have the odd button grid of “mmo” mice, but buttons that felt natural to click and flick. It was also massive, and we all had big hands that fit perfectly on the thing. I had two of them over the years, and Frankensteined them when they had both given out. In total, they lasted me about 9 years. They released other WoW mice, but they always tried to change up the placement of buttons and the shape. Nothing was ever quite as good as the Cataclysm mouse to me. After years of Nagas and G600s and other mice, I’ve arrived right back at Steelseries. I’m currently using the Aerox 9 WoW edition, and I like it better than all of those other grid based mice because the buttons are skewed instead of being a very uniform grid. My sister had the ZBoard. That thing was a mess. It was not a good keyboard at all. It still works, wherever it is. She retired it because it was trash.

Still have it somewhere. It also still works. Amazing mouse

The SteelSeries WotLK mouse was poorly constructed. It typically didn’t last long and even if it did the paint wore off. My wife and I both had one and hers died before mine, mine barely made it through WotLK. I took a chance on their Cata mouse and I still have it. It still looks great, although the scroll mouse button doesn’t click anymore because of too much Valheim. The button placement and size (I have bigger hands) just feels so great, I’ve been thinking about trying to design and 3D print something similar.

I had the original wow mouse before the cataclysm one came out. I played with it so much I wore the paint off of it and it started shocking me.

I had this mouse back in the day and freaking loved it!

The numbers broke for me. I bought the WoW anniversary steelseries and it's pretty damn good.

I used the original Wow mouse, and have used the Cataclysm version for years now.

I have been the original owner of this mouse since 2009. We cleaned it, gave it a new coat of paint, replaced the mouse wheel decoder (it was completely rusted) and also laser-engraved the World of Warcraft logo. I even have the original box it came with. Wanted to share it with all of you guys!

After I replaced the mouse wheel decoder the board looks good as new and works like the first day I bought it 😍

I'm sorry for necro threading, but just wanted to drop in. I've owned almost every "high end" MMO mouse you can name from the original Naga to the Naga V2 Pro (current) as well as all the others like the G600, Corsair Scimitar, the SteelSeries World of Warcraft mice (wired and wireless) as well as the SteelSeries Aerox 9. Razer has undoubtedly been the worst and I don't know why I've purchased a handful of different versions over the last 12 years or so. I wouldn't get one of these. I'm just waiting for this one to die so I can justify replacing it. Aside from that I've had good luck with Razer software. This might be why I keep buying them. Also, Razer has EXCELLENT FOSS Linux support, if that matters to you. My personal favorite was the wired Corsair Scimitar. My only gripe with it was the rubber pad where your pinky sits. It eventually gets filled with dead skin cells and you just feel gross scraping them out to clean it. Regardless of this, I'll be buying the wireless version next. The build quality was great and the only reason it went into the trash is because my parrot chewed through the cord. The old-school SteelSeries WoW mice are long gone, and the button layouts were garbage. The wireless one eventually stopped connecting to the base station and plugging it in was annoying. The Aerox 9 was incredible, it was light, responsive, and served me well. It was killed by a delicious glass of iced tea that landed directly on it. This was the second victim of my Parrot. I'd skip this one because of that. Also, I think the SteelSeries software is atrocious at best. My Arctis Nova Pro Wireless has had tons of software issues from day one and it seems that SS has no plans to patch the issues that so many have complained about. Conclusion: Corsair Scimitar Wireless is probably the way to go if you haven't purchased a mouse yet. Also: here's to hoping that Logitech gives us a G600 Pro Superlight wireless.

The first Stewl Series WoW mouse was the best. I still can't find a mouse that good anywhere.

I had two different wow mouse’s, mice? Whatever. This one pictured and the cataclysm one. Both were Steel series, iirc. Edit: Bottom left picture, just realized there were two

Obviously hand size is different for everyone, but like many others have said, the G600 is pretty damn nice and comfy. I also like the Razer Naga and am currently using the Steelseries WoW mouse and love it. Those 3 are about it for me as far as "MMO" mice are concerned ;D Good luck!

I prefer the warcraft steel series mouse. After so much use, I'm going to need a replacement... I wish steel series would have released a 20th/30th anniversary mouse so I won't have to pay eBay prices for a new one.

Missing 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.

I remember getting a, can't remember if it was the one in the picture, WoW skinned, Steelseries mouse and it was a terrible experience. Got it home, installed the software, said yes to the updates, had to say yes to a firmware update and then it wouldn't connect back to the computer. Had an argument with their support because I didn't want to try and fix a brand new, self bricking piece of kit and eventually got a refund. Fuck them guys

I have found it to be very comfortable. Much better than the naga v2 I had before.

Also, the mouse is very uncomfortable and slips in your hand while trying to hit the side buttons.

How do you hold it? The wow logo on the rear rubs your palm and the lack of texture or decent indent on the right side makes gripping a chore.

I love this mouse

I have used the mouse since I bought it and have never had those thoughts idk

I always wanted the wrath keyboard and mouse. I got the new steel series wow mouse thats tww thrmed. Its pretty good

I still use the original Steelseries WoW mouse, im on my 3rd one and have a backup in a drawer that I paid something like $250 for, no other mouse works as well for me, my brain is adapted to having all of my buttons on the mouse. I have tried the ones with all of the buttons on the thumb, but I just don't have small or agile enough thumbs to make it work, I don't know what the hell I will do when it is no longer possible to replace them.

Yep, love this mouse. Use it for all games. My old G600s are now all saved for work purposes as I have them filled with macros for excel work, I wish Logitech would make them again as wireless and I would buy 3 right away.

Steelseries Aerox Wireless 9 WoW edition is a vibe, I’d advice that one.

I love my Aerox 9 wow version. All of the problems that were experienced with the normal mouse with holes in it, has been gone ever since I switched to the wow version.

was that the one from steelseries? I had that mouse to! I now have the Aerox 9 mmo mouse...

I liked the mouse but the software was so infuriating and my settings/binds were constantly resetting. So I got the steelseries MMO mouse. Software is way better. I like the mouse a good deal. Only thing is I have small fingers so it took me some getting use to for a few of the buttons. The only negative reviews I saw were for people with the same issue.

I highly recommend the steelseries mmo mouse, the thumb buttons are in my opinion the best options and the grip/cooling means your don’t sweatily slide around which healing arena (the most sweaty of all wow play)

I have been using an MMO mouse for longer than I can remember. My first one was a SteelSeries, since then I've been through a couple of Corsair Scimitars and Razer Nagas. I tried a Logitech G600 but it was AWFUL and I got rid of it asap. I also do not use a keyboard to play, I use a Razer Tartarus V2 keypad. Both the mouse and the keypad took me a few days to get a hang of, really it all depends on whether or not your keybinds are comfortable for the peripheral. If you are having a terrible time, rethink what you have bound and where. Practice. Hit the target dummy until it all comes naturally. I couldn't play this game without the MMO mouse or the keypad, but if despite practice you can't get into it, that's fine too. I probably would struggle to play with a controller if I had to switch to it now.
