Looking to purchase a gaming mouse

I have been reading reviews on the razor naga epic mmo gaming mouse and also the new mmo gaming mouse from Logitech the Logitech G600. I am unsure of which of these would be better for RoM. Has anyone used either of these mice and which do you guys think would be better?

My husband has the Naga. He adores it. He ONLY uses it for gaming. I am going to get one soon. Over and above the buttons themselves (12 on the side, 2 on the edge, l, r, scroll,) you have options to change the speed of movement for both vertical and horizontal mouse movement. You also can make macros IN YOUR MOUSE. Add in the lighting, the longer, more flexible cord, and it is a definite winner. The only drawbacks we have found are that some of the buttons are a bit hard to reach and that it is difficult to lift the mouse without hitting a button.

I've been using a Cyborg R.A.T. 7 [ http://cyborggaming.com/prod/rat7.htm ] for the past year and love it. It too has programmable buttons that can be used in or out of games, and is adjustable in size, shape and weight so you can get the perfect fit for your hand. It also comes in a wireless version, the R.A.T. 9, but I opted for the one with the cord so that I wouldn't be changing out the battery pack mid-game.

Just remember, children, using third party hardware to make macros that you cannot in-game (such automating mouse movements) is strictly against the rules.

That said, I have a G19/G9 combo. The mouse is really nice, but perhaps it doesn't have enough buttons or pazazz ofr what you might be looking for in a 'gaming' mouse.

I have a logitech G700 gaming mouse. i have found that although it does have "outside" software to program macros its much easier to write ingame macros and assign hotkeys. Comfort wise it its great but the hard plastic makes you hand sweat.

Only 4 buttons on the side (13 total inc left/right click) but really i see no need for any more I already have 2 spam skills and 2 macros coded in on the side buttons. 5 different profiles that you can change at the click of a button (effectively giving you 16 side buttons if would want to switch profiles) wireless/recharge via usb cord and on average $100 cheaper than the Naga Elite.

Cant give any sort of comparison as I have never used the Naga, but that what I was out looking to buy when i stumbled upon the G700. So far Im happy with it.

thought I should add alittle more info.....
Can adjust the sensitivity/speed with the click of a button making the pointer move faster/slower sroll wheel can free spin or lock into çlick mode and has 3 button in itself tilt left/right or click down.

All in all a good bang for your buck mouse and a 3 year warrenty
