For an MMO-specific mouse, we recommend the Logitech G600. Despite launching back in 2012, it’s still a solid choice. It does use mechanical switches and a laser sensor (Avago S9808), which might not be as precise as more modern optical sensors. It’s also on the heavier side at 133g, and its wide body might not be comfortable for small hands or fingertip grips. The cable isn’t particularly flexible, and its main buttons and scroll wheel are just average.
However, the G600’s size is common among MMO mice, and its performance shortcomings won’t be noticeable in this type of game. It tracks well for anything outside of fast-action games. The sloped shape of the mouse is comfortable for palm grips, especially for those with large or average hands. The scroll wheel can also tilt left and right.
The most critical feature of an MMO mouse is its ability to let you access several in-game commands with minimal effort. The G600 does that with its 12 customizable side buttons that are angled to distinguish them without constantly looking down. Unlike most MMO mice, the G600 makes these buttons “easy to reach.” Additionally, the mouse has a third click button under your ring finger that brings up a second set of commands when pressed. This feature means you can access up to 24 different inputs with one hand, which is incredibly useful in MMOs. You don’t need to contort your fingers around the keyboard, which is ideal for games like Final Fantasy XIV that require you to juggle multiple hotbars’ worth of commands.
Although there are pricier MMO mice available, the G600’s functionality makes it the best value in its market. It’s also affordable, typically retailing around $35.
