I'm in the market for a new mouse. As much as I've loved my Logitech MX518 over the years (had it since 2006!) I'm finding that more and more I want MOAR BUTTONS! (Scroll down to the [n]bold bit[/b] for the question without more pre-amble.)
So, I've been casting my eye around. I've come across things like the "Razer Naga MMO" (12 thumb buttons, and can get a version that is optionally wired or wireless), the "Razer Naga Hex" (6 thumb buttons in a hex shape, probably easier to accurately hit than a 3x4 pad of them), the "Steelseries WoW Cataclysm Mouse" (I like the extra buttons either side of the main two, and the thumb buttons seem nice and chunky for accurate use), but then I happened upon the mouse in this topic's title, the "Cyborg R.A.T 7 MMO Special Edition Mouse".
It looks to have enough buttons in the right places for what I want (although I wonder if the extra buttons by the two main ones can only act as 'lock' buttons for those, or can be configured for other things as well). What I love most is the physically reconfigurability of the thing, change pinky rest, position and angle of the thum rest/area, how far out (and high) the palm rest is, weight.
So, to finally get to the point. Does anyone have one of these mice and got any comments about how it works in practice? Do the screws holding things on/in place keep coming loose? Buttons dying on you? Or is it just awesomeness incarnate ?
I've already watched these two:
