Swiftpoint Z Mouse
Like was mentioned earlier, MMO mice are usually flashy and lightweight. That’s exactly what you get with the Swiftpoint Z. The ergonomics is top-notch and it features a lot of buttons. Although those multiple buttons may confuse you at first, they’re easy to customize and they make this unit a more effective gaming.
Some of the configurable features of the Swiftpoint Z are the button caps, two levels buttons pressure, and the tilt.
It is not ambidextrous, but every righty will find it comfortable on the hand and easy to use.
There is a thumb rest on the left side of the mouse, looking to the right side you’ll find a ring finger rest. It is set in such a way that the left button is slightly elevated higher than the right.
There are two horizontal and two vertical sockets at the middle of this mouse to give you four sockets. The horizontal sockets act as trigger buttons. Generally, they are designed to be easily distinguishable.
There’s a 72-inch braided cable that comes with the Swiftpoint Z. You can download the Swiftpoint software from the company’s website to effectively manage it’s settings.
- Impressive ergonomics
- Design
- Can be customized
- Price
- Not ambidextrous
- Takes some time to get used to
The catch
Swiftpoint Z is affordable and fine. But it’s not the easiest one to get used to. Once you get the hang of it, you’ll really come to enjoy it. It features good ergonomics and plenty of cool features. However, it doesn’t come at a competitive price. If you look at it too closely you’ll fall in love with it.
Razer NAGA Chroma
The Razer Naga Chroma is an outstanding MMO gaming mouse. Again we look at it and find a lot of programmable buttons. Not just that, you’ll find 12 mechanical thumb buttons. What more do you need from a gaming mouse? Ergonomics? It is one of the best ergonomic mice you’ll find. Take a look at the shape of the picture.
Although it looks a little bulky weighing 135grams, it doesn’t make it any less easy to move around. In terms of DPI it comes in at 16,000 and for tracking speed, it boasts a speed of 210 inches per second. We had to mention it because that’s pretty much incredible. Maybe it’s the reason why the company brags they have here the best gaming mouse sensor in the world.
Anyway, the NAGA Chroma is not a wireless one. You’ll like the variety of color options the product has. That’s another feature you’ll find easy to personalize or customize.
- Lots of color options
- Easy to customize
- High DPI rating
- Not for you if you have small hands
- Pricey
The catch
The beauty of this mouse catches the eye. But the price isn’t really competitive. If you hold it you’ll see how big it is, so it’s not really ideal for someone with a small hand. There are lots of buttons on it every gamer will require. We’re very positive you’ll love the NAGA Chroma.
Corsair Ironclaw RGB Wireless
Fancy Corsair making an entrance wherever computer peripherals are being discussed. Well, they did here. With regards to the best MMO mice, Corsair has a handful of good options to choose from. But we didn’t find any better than the Corsair Ironclaw Wireless.
The Corsair Ironclaw Wireless is easily identifiable with its matte-black curvy build. Despite its size [measuring over 5-inches long], the Ironclaw RGB is lightweight. This was built specifically for right-handed users.
It looks and feels lovely to work with. You won’t feel the familiar wrist pain after using it for long hours. There are rubber grips by the side of the mouse to give you a tighter and a more comfortable grip.
Altogether, there are 10 buttons on it. At the top, there are five, the right and left click buttons are rated for over 50 million presses. You get a nice and responsive scroll-wheel at the center of it all.
The Corsair Ironclaw RGB earns its name with the RGB light that adorns it’s base – this can be seen exactly where the logo is located. There are three other indicator lights on the left of the mouse. You can set it up however you want.
It is rechargeable and uses both 2.4GHz wireless and Bluetooth. The battery life is 50hours on a full charge.
- Good price
- Can be easily configured
- Good grip for the hand and paws
- RGB lighting
- Doesn’t support wireless charging
- Bluetooth disables the configuration option
The catch
The Corsair Ironclaw is a smart mouse with all the cool features you need as a gamer. It’s a relatively big though. A consequence of all the cool buttons it comes with. The Ironclaw is also the first wireless mouse on this list. You can customize it’s setting using Corsair iCUE software.
Corsair SCIMITAR RGB
You’ll be hard-pressed to find the one with as many buttons as the Corsair Scimitar RGB. This one features as many as 17. That’s a lot of buttons. You’ll find yourself regularly pressing some of them inadvertently. But it all makes the design look cool and geeky. It’s up to you to judge anyway.
The Corsair Scimitar RGB is quite similar to the Corsair Scimitar Pro but for the lights. Due to the button, the Scimitar RGB has a bulgy look. But it don’t fall short in terms of ergonomics. In fact, we found it to be one of the best ergonomic mice we reviewed because it’s designed to fit your grip perfectly. Compared to its contemporaries, Corsair is not lightweight. Not with its length and size.
With so many buttons on the side, your kid could mistake it for a phone that blinks. No, but seriously, those blinking lights at the rear, they could be a little distracting during gaming if your hands can’t cover it.
The Scimitar RGB isn’t an ambidextrous mouse. It’s specifically designed for right-handed people.
- Excellent ergonomics
- Price
- Design
- Impressive sensor
- Too many buttons
- Disturbing light
The catch
The Corsair Scimitar RGB is one of the best MMO mice you can lay your hands on. If you can deal with the annoying light on the top. You can customize it using Corsair’s impressive iCUE software. Overall, the ergonomics of it is superb. You’ll get it for a fair price on Amazon.
ROCCAT Kone AIMO
If you’ve not heard of Roccat before, they’re among the best manufacturers of MMO mice in the market right now. The Roccat Kone AIMO makes that point clear.
The Roccat Kone will impress anyone with its superb sensitivity and cool features. It even comes with some backlighting – which the company describes as “Living Light”. Anyway, the cool lights make the design more comely than most mice in its category.
This is a little bit bulkier than our editors anticipated. Good, thing a desk bears the load. You get a wide wheel adorned with some eyes-friendly lighting.
There are up to five DPI settings you can use on the Roccat Kone AIMO.
You’ll find a pair of easily distinguishable buttons on the left side of the mouse [which suits righties] but none on the left. There is a well-contoured concave area that allows you to place your thumb ball comfortably. Holding it feels comfortable on the hand, thanks to the supportive cup shape for your palm.
Did we mention this is a wired mouse? The Roccat Kone AIMO comes with a 70.5-inch braided cord; which we didn’t find to be as flexible as we wanted. It loses some points for ergonomics because it doesn’t feature a side grip.
- Highly optical sensor
- Programmable buttons
- Up to five DPI settings
- price
- Doesn’t feature side grips
- Bulky
- No side grip
- Not for lefties
The catch
The Roccat Kone AIMO is one heck of a bulky mouse. But it’s very responsive and doesn’t command much arm movement. It has some features that stand it out as mentioned earlier – like the PixArt sensor.
Logitech G903 Lightspeed
We’ve sampled a lot of opinions including ours and concluded Logitech produces good quality computer peripherals. For the perfect Logitech MMO gaming, we needed something more lightweight than some of the other mice we’ve reviewed earlier. The Logitech G903 Lightspeed fits the bill perfectly.
The Logitech G903 Lightspeed comes in a cute matte-black body, with rubberized texture sides to give you a good grip of your rodent.
The G903 Lightspeed is very responsive with a 12,000 DPI sensor. You can save up to five DPI settings on it. Each of these profiles can have personalized macros.
It is believed the Logitech G903 Lightspeed is one of the most popular MMO mice in the market, so don’t be surprised to find your multiplayer gaming partner using it.
The Logitech G903 Lightspeed is a 2.4GHz wireless which means it uses rechargeable batteries. There’s a charging pad or mat that comes with it. So you can have it charging at any time, including during usage.
Finally, the product and the buttons are programmable – using Logitech software which can be downloaded from their website.
- Good ergonomic design
- Durable
- Very responsive
- Pricey
- Wireless sometimes disconnects during gameplay
The catch
The Logitech G903 Lightspeed is highly sensitive that features good ergonomics. It has up to five DPI settings, although the DPI sensor rating isn’t as much as you’ll get with others on this list. We seriously don’t think the price is competitive.
Razer Viper
Razer comes in the #7 position with the best budget MMO gaming mouse. The Razer Viper isn’t just budget-friendly. It’s one of the few ambidextrous MMO gaming mice we could find, so whether you’re a lefty or righty.
The Razer Viper is designed in such a way that users can reconfigure the side buttons. The body has a textured black design with a Razer logo on the hump with RGB. The mouse suits claw or fingertip style users. The mouse has a rubberized grip on the sides. It ships with a 2m speed flex cable for more comfortable use without cable snapping or hindrance.
The Viper measures 4.9 inches in length and 2.6 inches wide. It’s isn’t a bulky mouse weighing just 69g. The mouse uses an optical switch for better performance, and the side button uses glossy plastic to distinguish itself from the other buttons. The DPI button is located at the bottom of the mouse so that no accidental click gets recorded.
The mouse boasts a 16,000 DPI sensor, which can be adjusted using the Razer software. The software lets users customize the DPI, polling rate, and adapt macro on the mouse. Be careful as the mouse needs its software to record a macro on the mouse.
The mouse is also available in the wireless version called the Razer Viper Ultimate. The mouse software can be retrieved from Razer’s official website.
- It is ambidextrous
- Attractive design
- Highly sensitive [with its optical sensor]
- Doesn’t store macro commands
The catch
The razer viper can be selected by any users, right handed or left handed. It has a clean and good finishing on the body, but while playing the RGB light is not visible.
Steelseries 62051 Rival 500
A great choice for a durable mouse is the Steelseries 62051 Rival 500. Besides being rugged and tough, the Rival 500 also delivers on performance and ergonomics.
Here’s the image of it and one of those mice that don’t pack too many features but still manages to pass as an efficient computer peripheral.
There is a ring of up to five buttons around the top of the Rival 500 with a sixth button tucked away behind the knuckle. The button layout of the Rival 500 is brilliant and innovative. With a thumb rest attached.
The build of the Rival 500 makes it look a bit bulky, but when you hold it you’ll notice it was designed to fit your hand comfortably – that’s for people with medium and large hands anyway.
With lots of buttons, it was unsurprising to find some of them stiff when pressed. Particularly some of the extra buttons close to the right and left click. In fact, most of the buttons make the annoying click sound when pressed.
But if you’re a gamer, you’ll love the tactile feedback feature of it. It vibrates to alert you of certain notifications on games. Not all games though.
- Well-placed buttons
- Good ergonomics
- Very sensitive
- Price
- Bulky
- Annoying clicking sound [some are stiff]
The catch
The Rival 500 has a cool design to it. It’s bulky but very sensitive. It has a lot of buttons which are well-placed, but the feel isn’t as great as one would expect. It has a fine thumb layout and for responsiveness, you’ll be impressed with the tactile feedback feature.
EpicGear MorphA X
The EpicGear MorphA X gets its name for being able to change and fit the varying needs of gamers. But to offer such an outrageous feature, the MorphA X comes at a stupendous price point.
The MorphA X looks more like a beetle than a mouse – but the shiny white/gray design makes it look quite flashy than most. In fact, what you see when you unbox the MorphA X are lots of modular parts that help you build the gaming experience you want.
There are seven buttons on the MorphA X. Sadly, they make a clicking sound when pressed. Due to the shell, it could’ve easily passed for to be ambidextrous if there was a pair of buttons on the right side.
We said earlier that it looks more like a beetle – make that a pretty large beetle. The MorphA X measures 2.6 in width and 5 inches in length. This isn’t the one we’ll suggest if you’re looking for a mouse with a good claw grip.
There are lights on the scroll-wheel and on the logo which lights up when the MorphA X is in action.
If you can get the software you can designate up to five profiles. But only four DPI settings are allowed.
- Laser and optical sensors can be swapped out
- Up to four DPI settings
- Ergonomic design
- Very expensive
- Not for lefties
The catch
The EpicGear MorphA X can pass for the most flamboyant mouse on this list. The modularity it offers is quite unrivalled. Really. However, the price is a major worry. It’s expensive. The buttons are distinguishable by your fingers, but they make a clicking sound. And this isn’t for a left-handed people.

Here are things to look out for when buying the best MMO mice for gaming.
DPI

Ergonomics
Talking from experience, multiplayer games can be quite addictive. They can easily suck you in for hours. That’s why you can’t afford to use one with poor ergonomics. To find it’s ergonomics, firstly look at the grip type it offers. Is it for righties only or for lefties too? Is it a claw grip or palm grip?
Another thing to consider is the positions of the buttons. If the buttons are poorly positioned, you could develop wrist pain after using it for long hours.
Sensor
We advise you to buy those mice that uses an optical sensor instead of laser sensors. Optical sensors are more sensitive than laser. If your mouse isn’t sensitive enough you can be guaranteed a frustrating gaming experience.
Pricing
We don’t really buy the idea of spending excessively on a gaming mouse. The best MMO mice for gaming shouldn’t set you back anything more than $100. Sometimes though, more features usually mean more expense – as is the case with most tech gadgets.
