My Razer Naga Pro died and I’m absolutely not buying another one for what it costs. But I also can’t seem to find a replacement with the same sort of layout this one had. I’ll link a picture, but I’m essentially looking for a mouse that has a lot of side buttons but still has a place for me to rest my thumb without having to worry about accidentally pressing buttons. I don’t really like 12 button MMO style mice for this reason, as I constantly feel like I’m going to accidentally press a button. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Edit: I also want to note that I’m right handed, and I hate the feel of ambidextrous mice. I like being able to lay my hand on the mouse and know exactly where my fingers are supposed to go.

    Their shit crashed weekly and I couldn’t access my mouse configuration presets. Crashed less often after I downloaded Razer’s software hub as well but it meant another program at launch, another pointless account to log in and track, and still didn’t work all the time.

      I don’t know how far back you’re talking about but I’ve had literally 0 crashes. Maybe it used to be worse but it works fine now.

      Currently, you only need “razer synapse” and no, you don’t need to run it at startup. Like I already said, you only need to open it if you want to change your device configuration or update the firmware. It also doesn’t require any form of sign in.

        It was four months ago, Synapse was the program that didn’t work right, and my presets would not load until I finessed Synapse into launching. This required running Cortex. Was a Deathadder Elite.

          Something was wrong with your install. I don’t need Synapse running at all and I’ve had this mouse since September 2023.

            Well I tried reinstalling the software and the drivers and nothing fixed it except starting Cortex before Synapse. And then the mouse started dropping clicks so I binned it and I’m done with the company for the forseeable future.
