Logitech made the best (the g600) but it was discontinued and they show no signs of reviving it 😭

OP didn’t expand on it, and his photos didn’t show it, but this mouse apparently has a bunch of thumb buttons, which is a legitimately-rare feature (though it’s not the only mouse out there to have a bunch).

Second best. The best is actually the reddragon one that’s $20 on Amazon.
I have used every mmo mouse on the market (currently on a scimitar elite, it’s the one op has but silver not yellow) and they are all decent mice, but each has a fatal flaw except the reddragon.
G600 click switches are awful and double click after weeks of use, I had to replace them twice, the final time with the switches out of the red dragon. That was fine for close to 10 years, but the side key caps fall off, they are barely glued on.
The scimitar has an awful encoder on the scroll wheel, I had to open the mouse to pack it with Vaseline to get it working properly, and disassembling the scimitar is a nightmare.
The reddragon has bad software, but it’s also supported by open source options for remapping and RGB, so it’s one flaw was by far the easiest to fix.

I’ve bought some sort of no name quasi-mechanical keyboard that came with a gaming mouse as a combo, that was like $60 on Amazon, five years ago. Literally my favourites, both of them. And I’ve had many different keyboards and mice over the years too.

Had a Naga at first but refused to buy Razer after it broke (got quite a few years out of it). I’m on my second G600 and bought a third off eBay which is sitting on my shelf new and sealed. Of I ever get to the point that the third one dies, then I’ll maybe scavenge the first two for parts and repair one XD

I saw something somewhere they’re still selling them on ebay under the name “Logicool”, not sure how legit it is though.

Thought you were talking about some scan with the name Logicool, but it’s actually the Japanese version of their brand. Seems to be legit too:

I have the G604 for 6 years and the 6 side buttons are perfect for me - not too few, not too many, just right.
I’ve printed it a replacement for its rubber cover, but now I need to look at cleaning/replacing the switches as they are starting to double click.
I bought the mouse for ~$68 on sale, the resale market for the mouse is nuts.

Makes it great for games like Arma 3 😍 and 3D cad.

Razer is still making their Naga mouse with 12 side buttons. I believe they have a model that you can hot swap the side buttons to be the amount you want.
Of course Razer isn’t the most reliable brand…

As cool as the hot swap thing is, it’s incredible they don’t sell replacement parts, mine has some faulty buttons that post cleaning somewhat work, but I use them almost as much as the click buttons, and having such an easy replaceable part that’s not sold infuriates me to no end.

I remember when they went from the old form factor in the 2012 version to the new ones where the buttons stick out more. I hated it at the time, but the side buttons are just so useful that I can’t see myself buying any other type of mouse.
