I use a Naga and love it. In the current maximum pc mag they do a comparison with the naga and the cyborg 7 and I agree with them on most points with the naga the clear winner. You get used to the thumb buttons really quickly. I use it for all types of gaming too RTS, shooters, MMO's you name it I'd use it for it.

I liked the Naga, but it physically broke after 9 months. I also found I wasn't using all the buttons. I got a Cyborg Rat 7 and it is a tank.

 Best gaming mouse ???

One that has a cable and doesn't break after 200 hours of frenzied clicking.

I dont understand people with fansy mouses like naga or something complex and wierd looking ones...

The one and only : G500 ladies and gentlemen!

I own 4 mice atm, and one of them is a Naga and I don't recommend it. 

The naga while useful to an extent is built very cheaply and tends to be very cramped for average to large hands.

I can vouch for the classic Logitech MX510 as it gave me years of comfort and usage yet the current mouse that I bought to replace my naga (which is working, just not my cup of tea) is the Logitech G500.

One of the most obvious pros with the Logitech mice is the build quality, they feel solid both in construction and materials.

In addition with the Logitech setpoint software you can bind and custom profile any game with just about as many keys as the naga. 

I was pretty excited to first get my Naga but I figured out pretty quickly that the marketing outweighed the features.

Edited for colors!

When my Logitech MX1000 finally started acting up (after 5+ years), I went looking for something better and spent a lot of time researching and testing different mice.  I didn't like the feel and/or button placement on the Logitech and Razer mice, so I finally settled on this:

Steelseries Gaming Mouse

I know the WoW theme is a turn off (almost didn't buy it because of that), but I couldn't find anything comprable which had that many extra buttons that were as easily distinguishable and accessible.

I like that it's corded because that keeps it lightweight (no batteries) and I don't have to worry about it dieing after a long gaming session.  The thumb buttons are perfectly placed and easy to press.  The extra buttons for the index and middle fingers aren't quite as easy to hit but I like having them for secondary functions (like opening my character's inventory or map), and the ring finger button took some getting used to (because I've never had one before) but once I did it became second nature.

The software is very well done.  All buttons can be programmed for any keypress or macro to work with any game, not just WoW, and you can have up to 10 different profiles for different games.

I'm loving my Logitech G500. I used to have a Razer mouse but due to having issues with it and my Razer headset, I'll stick to Logitech from now on. Look up the G500 (wired) and the G600 (wireless). Both feel great, not bulky and have plenty of options for gaming.

I have a Logitech G300. I hate the cheap light weight of it and the fact that the right mouse button is so pressure sensitive. I cant rest my finger on it without accidentally clicking. I only picked it up because it was cheap and it had more programmable buttons than my old MS Razor.

I would suggest staying away from Logitech, though, for the simple fact that their gaming software seems to be terribly buggy. I've had my mouse macros completely stop responding at times. It particularly doesn't like my Zune software. If I open my Zune player, my mouse macros stop working until I minimize the Zune player window, and re-open the Logitech Gaming Software.

The software also doesn't allow you to replace the right and left mouse click keys. It forces you to always have right and left click assigned to a key.

the Naga is a terrible, cheap mouse. Razer stuff will break down in less than a year.

you're either just trolling or just don't know how to take care of your stuff. I've had my naga since it first came out and even took it with me on my deployment to afghanistan. Although the laptop I took with me might not be in the best condition(son broke the screen after I redeployed) my mouse still works like a charm.

Corsair M90 actually REPLACED my Naga. Didn't think it would be possible but it did.

This mouse look amazing, i'm reading right now about it.

But how good is the software, people seam to have an on/off switch about this, some say it just don't work and you can't use thumbs key in any games (obviously a deal breaker), some say its awesome with the hardware macro that work on all games. So, anyone can confirm this?

For me, Razer Naga.

I prefer the Razer Mamba over the Naga.  All those buttons aren't needed in 90% of games and the Mamba is ergonomic and mimics a natural hand position which is essential to long gaming sessions.

I use fingertip grip, so i never ordered the naga, really was about to do it many time because of the buttons, but the mouse just look too big and seam to have to much hight, i'm pretty sure it will not fit my grip style and will interfer, i really wish i could test it before ordering but i can't. Anyone of you guys use a fingertips grip and a naga, how does it perform? I don't have huge and big hand, but i have have very long and thin fingers and they do all the job in controling my mouse, my palm is actually resting on the mat and don't move when using the mouse.

Cataclysm Gaming mouse.

It is the best mouse I have ever held in my hand. However, this is subjective...obviously.

I use a Cyborg RAT 7. Very nice mouse, I have used it for about 9 months, with only 1 issue, upon loading into O/S I have to load my mouse profile (which may be completely my own fault for not looking for a way to set it as primary)

The mouse has quite a few features.

- Adjustable body length/width to fit your hand (thumb button pad is adjustable too for people with longer/shorter thumbs)

- Weights to adjust how heavy/light mouse is.

- Several different addon parts to adjust from a smooth surface palm rest to a rubberized one, and fins for thumb and/or pinky rests so your fingers dont slide along the mousepad

- 5600 DPI mouse super fast, with on the fly adjustment button for changing DPI (plus a precission aim button for quick DPI change while held)

- all keys are fully programable, even with scripts, and a togggle button to switch between upto 3 different profile layouts

- Solid metal chassis makes the mouse sturdy and stable

- corded version had a braided cord to help with twisting/tangling

 Now the mouse doesnt have all the buttons that some others have. But if that is of concern they have brought out a newer version called the Cyborg MMO 7. which has 13 buttons compared to 7 on the Cyborg RAT 7

mouse are a different story tho!you have to go in store and test it !cause you ll be stuck with it after!and if the mouse isnt adjustable enough not big enough etc you will be having a 1000 reply thread here within a day raging about who the eck suggested men in black gaming mouse to you!

I usea Razer Naga and I love it.

I rarely use 10, 11, and 12. When I was at PAX I found it hard to try the games on the floor as I kepty trying to easily access my skills only to realize I had to do the whole WASD while stretching for the Keyboard numbers.

Honestly, I can't use any other mice ever again. The Razer Naga is the mouse I designed in my head years ago because all i ever wanted was to have minimal hand motion with maximum skill usage.

If that sounds like a commercial then "good". Let Razer throw some money my way.

Best gaming mouse:

Logitech 518     best from 2005-2008

Razer Naga      best from 2009-2011

R.A.T. series    best from 2011-???

It's all about evolution. The Naga was the only clear improvement over the 518 by making it customizeable. The RAT improves on the Naga in terms of customization and durability.

About DPI, if your mouse has too high of DPI, you should be able to adjust it through buttons or software. The manual is your friend.

Oh I dont' know, that RAT doesn't look like something I'd use. I like having a mini button keyboard where I can grab everything with the thumb.

The RATs are ugly as butt, though.
