My Razer Naga Pro died and I’m absolutely not buying another one for what it costs. But I also can’t seem to find a replacement with the same sort of layout this one had. I’ll link a picture, but I’m essentially looking for a mouse that has a lot of side buttons but still has a place for me to rest my thumb without having to worry about accidentally pressing buttons. I don’t really like 12 button MMO style mice for this reason, as I constantly feel like I’m going to accidentally press a button. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Edit: I also want to note that I’m right handed, and I hate the feel of ambidextrous mice. I like being able to lay my hand on the mouse and know exactly where my fingers are supposed to go.

      I hate these kinds of mice but my mother has been using Logitech trackball mice at work for like 20 years so I know some people swear by them. Not sure how usable it would be for something like gaming though.

        I’ve been gaming on trackballs for years (finger trackball, not thumb trackball) with no issues. It also fixed all ergonomics problems and my wrist don’t hurt anymore even after 8 hours of work.

        P.s. the logitech trackball, if it’s the one without scroll wheel, is not usable for me or gaming in general.

        I’m gaming with an elecom thumb trackball that has many buttons. It has pros and cons. It’s faster to move your thumb than your entire arm, but because one degree on screen is less movement on the trackball than a mouse, aiming needs more getting used to and is harder if your fingers are shaky. you can flick the ball to spin though 😆

        I used to game with trackballs. They are very usable when you get used to them. Also very handy when you need to move you rig a lot since it doesn’t need space for a mouse pad to work.
