The Best MMO Mouse - Spring 2023 Mice Reviews

Updated
Best MMO Mouse

MMO games like World of Warcraft or Final Fantasy XIV have passionate fanbases and several mouse manufacturers release dedicated mice specially designed with these players in mind. An MMO mouse is often heavier than their FPS-oriented gaming mouse counterparts and they typically have more comfortable, ergonomic shapes designed for longer play sessions. They also have plenty of customizable side buttons, so your custom macros, abilities, heals, buffs, debuffs, and other crucial controls for your rotations are always at hand. When shopping for the best MMO mouse, you'll want to consider the build quality, shape, and size of the mouse as well as how many total inputs it has. You'll also need to decide how you'd like your mouse to be powered and whether you'd like a wired or wireless model.

We've tested over 285 mice, and below are our recommendations for the best MMO gaming mice. Check out some of our other picks for the best gaming mice, the best wireless gaming mice, and the best budget and cheap gaming mice.


  1. Best MMO Mouse

    For avid fans of the genre, the best MMO mouse is the Razer Naga Pro. While it includes a set of three interchangeable side panels with different button layouts, most MMO players swear by the full 12-button panel that provides enough buttons for even the most demanding MMO titles. The buttons on this panel are arranged in a 4x3 grid, and each button is angled slightly differently to make them easier to reach and distinguish by feel. In terms of overall comfort, this mouse feels very solid and has a comfortable right-handed shape with a pinky rest. While virtually all other MMO mice available have right-handed shapes, this mouse also has a left-handed version, though it's only available as a wired model. Performance-wise, the Naga Pro has remarkably low click latency and outstanding sensor performance, which means gameplay feels responsive, and your cursor movements are consistent and accurate.

    Razer recently released a new version of this mouse, the Razer Naga V2 Pro. This new version includes a somewhat improved sensor, more durable optical switches, and longer battery life. Its scroll wheel also introduces new functionality and allows you to fine-tune how the scroll wheel behaves, although it no longer has a completely free-spinning mode like the previous version. Altogether, these changes are relatively minor, and the new version is currently much more expensive, so the older version remains our recommendation for most people.

  2. Best Mid-Range MMO Mouse

    For a mid-range option, we recommend the Corsair SCIMITAR RGB ELITE. Note that this mouse has been on sale recently and has fallen in price, so there may be a significant gap between the price of this mouse and our best pick above. This mouse feels very solid and has a textured grip on the right side and a pinky rest, which can make all the difference in supporting your hand and preventing fatigue during marathon raids. It has a full array of buttons, including a 12-button side panel, which you can adjust forward or backward to better where your thumb naturally rests when you hold the mouse. While the buttons aren't angled very distinctly, the second and fourth columns of buttons have textured tops, which helps you feel where your thumb is on the grid without having to glance down.

    In terms of performance, it has excellent click latency and sensor performance, though it doesn't perform as well as the Razer Naga Pro above. Also, this is a wired model, and while its cable feels high quality, it's relatively stiff. That said, this is the best MMO gaming mouse if you prefer a wired connection, and it's one of the best wired mice we've tested. Users online have identified that some units can suffer from a manufacturing defect where the mouse wheel stops working after a few months of use. This issue isn't widespread, but if you're interested in this mouse, we recommend purchasing it directly through Corsair or via an authorized reseller so you can return it under warranty if needed.

  3. Best Budget MMO Mouse

    The best MMO gaming mouse in the budget category we've tested is the Logitech G600 MMO Gaming mouse. Like most MMO models, the G600 has a full 12-programmable buttons side panel with distinctly angled buttons so you can tell where each button is by feel, but its main feature is the third click button under the ring finger that toggles to a second programmable layer of commands. You can use the Logitech G HUB software to program buttons and custom settings to one of three profiles that you can store on the mouse's onboard memory. The software is also compatible with both Windows and macOS.

    It has impressively low click latency for its price point, and its sensor is very accurate, so you can be sure your movements are consistent whether you're just grinding or deep into endgame content. Unfortunately, it's heavy and pretty bulky, so if you have smaller hands, you'll have difficulty reaching the third click button and some side buttons. It's also wired-only, and the included braided cable isn't very flexible and retains kinks from the packaging, which can cause drag. However, if you're looking for a high-performing mouse with a budget in mind, this mouse is a great bet.

  4. Best Lightweight MMO Mouse

    Nearly all MMO models are heavy compared to other gaming mice, but the SteelSeries Aerox 9 Wireless is special. It has a honeycomb pattern of cutouts in its body to reduce its weight and is our recommendation if you're looking for the best lightweight MMO mouse currently available. With a lighter mouse, you can make faster, more immediate movements in-game, which can be a real advantage for playing certain fast-paced titles. Despite looking more fragile than more conventional models, this mouse feels very sturdy.

    In terms of gaming performance, it has impressive click latency, and its sensor is very consistent and accurate. It connects wirelessly with its USB receiver or via Bluetooth and has an advertised battery life of up to 80 hours when connected with its USB receiver and up to 180 hours using Bluetooth. You can adjust certain sensor settings with the companion software, including CPI adjustments and lift-off distance. You can also fully customize the three RGB lighting zones. Unfortunately, while it's much lighter, it's still fairly large and bulky, so if you have small hands, you can't reach some of the buttons without repositioning your hand.

Notable Mentions

  • ASUS ROG Spatha X: The ASUS ROG Spatha X is a high-end wireless option with a very distinctive angular look, and it's a good alternative to the Razer Naga Pro if you prefer an even larger, bulkier mouse. However, it's heavy compared to most gaming mice and doesn't have as many programmable buttons as other options on this list. See our review
  • Corsair SCIMITAR PRO RGB: The Corsair SCIMITAR PRO RGB is the predecessor to the Corsair SCIMITAR RGB ELITE and is very similar in most respects. It's typically a bit less expensive than the newer model; however, it uses a slightly older sensor, which doesn't perform quite as well. See our review
  • Logitech G604 LIGHTSPEED: The Logitech G604 LIGHTSPEED is an alternative to the Razer Naga Pro if you'd prefer a downsized six-button side panel rather than a more traditional 12-button MMO side panel. This mouse also has Bluetooth support, making it a great choice if you're a Mac gamer or are frequently on the move. It also uses disposable AA batteries, which won't necessarily be an advantage if you're only using your mouse at home. See our review
  • Redragon M913 Impact Elite: The Redragon M913 Impact Elite is a wireless alternative to the Logitech G600 MMO Gaming. However, it's typically more expensive, it doesn't feel as well-built, and the click latency is much higher. See our review

All Reviews

Our recommendations above are what we think are currently the best MMO mice for most people. We factor in the price (a cheaper mouse wins over a pricier one if the difference isn't worth it), feedback from our visitors, and availability (no mice that are difficult to find or almost out of stock everywhere).

If you would like to do the work of choosing yourself, here is the list of all our reviews of MMO mice. Be careful not to get too caught up in the details. While no mouse is perfect for every use, most mice are great enough to please almost everyone, and the differences are often not noticeable unless you really look for them.
