    Need a new "gaming mouse" asap

    So, looks like my Naga V2 pro shit the bed randomly last night and won't power on

    Need something Bluetooth and either a 12 key pad, or multiple side macro buttons that is comfortable.

    I had a Corsair scimitar prior but the scroll wheels on corsairs are dog shit

    I asked this about a year ago.
    I used to have a Naga Hex, loved it.

    I tried (and am still using) the Steel Series Rival 5.
    The buttons are fine, but the scroll wheel started jumping inside 6 months.

    This black friday, I grabbed a Monster Alpha 9.0. I'm returning it.
    The software needed to customize the buttons is not available on the company website, so you're stuck with 4 of 6 buttons you can't even map inside a game.
    Also, the hand shape was a no go for me, way to big in the back.


    Real talk, if one of you BGers needs a business idea.
    Start a company that makes mice, and use switches that don't start double clicking at the drop of a hat, and design a scroll wheel that won't jump/crap out.
    And design the mouse such that when those components DO fail, it can easily be opened up to painlessly replace them.
    Then branch out into side button configurations and hand shapes.

    Facts. I miss these mice. Nothing ever felt the same as that series for me

    Picked up a G502 lightspeed, but need to return it. Accidentally bought the original model, when the updated one with USB-C and a better battery is only like 30 bucks more.

    Felt comfortable, but not quite sure if it's going to fit the bill. Someone recommended a steel series one that had a 12key pad, but hated how it felt in my hand. I don't like honeycomb frame designs.
