    In the market for a new gaming mouse.

    My Razer Naga 2014 is pretty much much on its last leg (Double clicking, scroll wheel going up when I scroll down and vice versa) so I'm looking to replace it with a new gaming mouse.

    While I'm not against getting a new Naga, I was wondering if anyone else had any suggestions for mice.

    And if it matters, I mostly use my mouse for casual gaming. GW2, KF2 with friends, TF2 if I'm really that bored, etc.

    If you don't NEED all the buttons the Naga has, I've fallen in love with death adders.

    I used to be a hard core Logitech dude, think it had two extra buttons which was just perfect for me. Tried the senseis. Ended up going simple route with the death adder and adjusted to the less buttons extremely fast. Very satisfied.

    I play mostly WoW followed by FPS/HOTS/RPGs

    You wouldn't know that though because you've demonstrably never picked up a book nor educated yourself on the matter. Let me guess, overweight housewife?

    I used to have a Naga Razor and the same thing happened. Actually, my husband, two friends, and myself all got ours around the same time and they all kicked the bucket within two years.

    Hubby and I switched over to the Logitech G600. I still kinda miss the actual shape to the naga, but functionally they are the same and the Logitech has lasted longer and seems much sturdier.

    I've been using Logitech G600 mouse for a few years now and its held up better than my Naga that I had before, thumb buttons are a bit better and take time like everything else to get used to but it's a pretty solid mouse imo.

    I'd avoid all razer products because they're some of the most poorly built devices with some of the highest price tags slapped on them.

    I've been using the G600 for years and it's been fantastic.

    This is probably true for almost everything they make except for a handful of their gaming mice. Those few are some of the better products on the market.

    I have the logitech G600 now for a little over a year and love it. My Naga barely lasted a year before the left click and scroll wheel died.

    This pretty much my Death Adder is still in pretty much the same shape it was 3 years ago when I bought it.

    Echoing this one. Used a G500 for years, and moved over to the G502 when it eventually died.

    I had to clean my Death Adder once in a while cause it would get gunky from random stuff, and mine was also a cheap refurb, but it still works well after many years. I have fairly large hands for a girl and find the extra length on the DA is really comfortable for me. The way my hand rests on it is so natural. So, good if you have large hands I guess. I have never used a mouse with a crapton of buttons on the side and I feel like they would be hard to adjust to but I've always loved just having the 2 on the DA for mapping to whatever in games. Seems good enough to me. The soft grippy finish on the DA is great too (I haven't used other razer mice really so I don't know if they're all like that).

    Thanks for the input, I decided to go with the 502. Will take awhile to get used to clicking my skill icons in GW2 again but I think I can manage.
