What mouse should I get?

[Ragnarok]

The Anansi just recently got bad reviews, so I don't know about the combo.

After playing The Game for quite a while, I'm once again going to reiterate getting a Naga/Anansi combo. I've mastered the Naga and it's DEFINITELY useful in game. On top of that, the additional hotbars (you can have four up at the same time) are arranged two on the bottom, one on the left, and one on the right. You can easily configure the Anansi keys underneath the spacebar to act as triggers for these hotbars, meaning you have access to over 40 keys without leaving WASD, which is essential for my preferred class. I suggest getting this mouse/keyboard now so that you are used to playing with them in time for The Game!

AGREED.. I have a 10 button steelseries mouse that will be beneficial in game and I know from my experience in the past gaming with a mouse that I can easily keybind different abilities too makes it much easier for proper dps or even tank rotations

So i'm actually looking for a mouse myself.

Since i have gone through 2 G5's and a G9, i think it's time to find a mouse that is more durable for portability. I was looking for some and have gone down to either the logitech G700 or the Razer Orochi.

I'm currently leaning towards the G700 because the Orochi seems to small and also because i've heard lots of mixed reviews about several different Razer products.

Anyone have any experience with the G700?

I have the G500 and it's a pretty good mouse, but if what Tbone says is true, the next mouse I'm going to get is the Naga.

I dunno. I've heard good things:

It doesn't have USB ports (and requires two) and it is not a mechanical board. Other than that, it is the perfect companion to the Naga. Without the Naga you won't be able to fully take advantage of the thumb keys.

Well I heard bad things:

Such as that you can’t assign “function” keys to modifiers or macros and out of the box, it provides no real additional functionality. Also for a hundred bucks you can, and should, get more keyboard than this.

He doesn't seem to like the Anansi because he doesn't have a need for that many binds, but I think if you are going to do anything that requires more than one hotbar, the Anansi will be a plus. The Naga is definitely mandatory, though, while the Anansi is a bonus.

digging the way he binds scroll up and scroll down to separate abilities, and the "hammer of fuck your face" made me giggle.

The Naga rocks, its what I use.

Maybe it's a sign, but I hit NewEgg's site this morning and this is sitting on the front page
