NO JOKE, big mouse that I use is the UtechSmart Venus. It’s an mmo mouse but is bigger than most mouse’s I have used. I take XL in glove size. https://utechsmart.com/products/DS-2535.html

I picked up this mouse ([uTech Smart MMO Mouse](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FNKMVUO?psc=1)) for $30, and short of the gshift feature which I never used, it's actually great! I like the software better than G-Hub, but it does lag a bit while saving settings. Overall, for $30 (I paid for $40 for my original G600) it's an excellent mouse. My G600 was falling apart unfortunately and $90 for a mouse was too steep. G-Hub frankly was getting worse with every other update. There was an old software you could use for simpler functionality, but the uTech mouse is a good middle-ground between the old software and the modern software (which I found fairly frustrating to use).

Chiming in here as well; for $30-40 this is an excellent replacement for a G600. If you're particularly entrenched with the g-shift feature then nothing else will work, but I never found the dexterity to engage with that part of the mouse. I think the software is surprisingly functional and easier to use; it reminds me of the older (better) Logitech G600 software than G-Hub.

I use the utech Venus myself, wired edition, and a friend has a red dragon mouse which uses the same hardware but just white label rebranded to red dragon. They work great

12 buttons . I am more dextrous with my right hand so it can deal with the abilities . My left has its own keypad with a joystick to use for modifiers and other things . I use a utech venus, (there's a red dragon mouse that's got the same hardware but a slight cover change) and a F14 tactical assault commander. They work very well together . The less time I spend using my actual keyboard the better , for disability reasons.

I have a mouse that has 12 numbers on it, and I binded the 4th button to be shift. So I’m able to cast upwards of 20 spells and ability’s using 1-10 and Shift+ 1-10. and I can move my character using both left and right click, and middle mouse button auto run. Here’s the link. But if you wanna just Amazon it yourself. “VENUS GAMING MOUSE” Make sure you get the WIRED version. So you can use multiple key inputs. The wireless version only allows 1 action at a time (outside of both left and right click) https://a.co/d/9pdudb5

I also turned my number 12 key on the mouse to be my jump button,

For a less expensive option, if you like a lot of hotkeys on your thumb, check out the UTechSmart Venus. 12 side buttons with a thumbrest, clickable wheel, comfy to use. I have the wired version and I've been using this model almost exclusively for \~13 years. I've tried some others, including some comparable big name brands (Corsair Scimitar in particular, which is an otherwise great mouse but the scroll wheel busted within 6 months), but I keep going back to the Venus. The wired version (which I use) is currently \~$26 USD on Amazon.
