Need a gaming mouse

CliffyG · 27 Jun 2013 at 14:33

My MX518 is dying and I need a replacement (Logitech may send me a replacement but will sell to fund new one). I would really like a mouse wheel which clicks to the left and right as well as the usual click and scroll. I've found plenty of mice which have 8+ programmable buttons but can't seem to find any with the extra scroll wheel functionality. Are there any about?

I was wondering how good those MMO mice were, I was hoping for a price around £50 rather than £100 though.

I was thinking that many might get confusing!

Ditto.

I'm actually quite tempted by the MMO mice, I use the arrow keys mainly so the extra buttons would be very handy. These 2 look more like the price I can afford:

Razer Naga Molten Special Edition Expert MMO 5600DPI Gaming Mouse
Logitech G600 MMO Gaming Mouse - White (910-002873)

I can't tell if any have side buttons on the mouse wheel though.

EDIT

On closer inspection the Logitech has little arrows point to the left and right of the wheel which kind of indicates you can use them as buttons. I'm sorely tempted by it, anyone got any experience with one? It appears to do well in reviews.

Also found this one:

Razer Naga Hex Expert Action RPG/MOBA Gaming Mouse

Which looks like it may eliminate some of the button confusion but not so sure about the mouse wheel button functionality.

I was going to get the M90/95 as someone suggested it when I asked for a quiet mouse. I really want the side click though.

Ordered the G600 from OcUK, will sell the G400 Logitech are sending me to part fund it.

EDIT

Just double checked and they are sending me a G400s as a replacement for my MX518. Selling for £50 on the Logitech site!

G600 arrived today, so bloody hard to get used to!

Yeah I've been through lots of different mice since the original post. Razer were pretty shoddy, had a few fail after not very long at all. Currently using a Corsair Scimitar Elite and it's great. Lasted longer than all the previous ones.
