"Naga is better for small hands."
"For whatever reason the Naga's are way more comfortable for me than any other mice I've tried with as close of a match of function I've found."

"could play one handed. ... I'd be playing fetch with my dog while raid healing, it definitely confused the fuck out of a lot of people."
"the side buttons give the best feedback. ... I really don't think the side buttons on a Naga can be beat. The feedback and spammability are amazing and they have never worn out. ... I use the side buttons in nearly every game I play."

"The mouse came with 2-button, 7-button, and 12-button options. ... Moving up to the 7-button version made a huge difference and gave me so much more freedom to play."

"The only problem is the scroll wheel always breaks after about 6 months and becomes useless. My 5th Naga just broke with exactly the same problem, and I'm very reluctant to buy another. ... Mine does the same but it's really bad, you can't control where you scroll at all. ... When things get intense in PvP I definitely grip and press the buttons harder than I need to, but I honestly can't help it. The only thing that can't take the punishment seems to be the scroll wheel. Either the click stops registering properly or the scrolling breaks. ... It doesn't always break in exactly the same way, sometimes the click stops registering properly and it either doesn't work or will start double clicking, sometimes the scrolling stops working and starts rubber banding back and forth erratically no matter which way I spin. ... I've been living with the issue for well over a year. ... I definitely think part of it is a me problem, but it happens to enough people that I think the components are just very cheap too and can't take the punishment. From the research I've done today, Razer aren't well known for their longevity that's for sure."
"Switched to the scimitar away from the naga for the same reason as you"
"im on my 3rd naga now because it keeps breaking after 2 years.."

"having to buy a new "gaming mouse" every year cause their shit breaks constantly. ... another one of my Razer mice broke, i think the Naga ... the Naga i bought from Razer before i realized im wasting shitloads of money on that brand. ... Their base Logitech G305 has outlasted the 2 Deathadders, the Copperhead and the Naga i bought from Razer"
"My middle mouse button can rarely be held as it usually spams the button and scrolling sometimes gives additional inputs or does that kind of "rubberband" inputs where it'll do the opposite input after scrolling. ... somewhere in the 6-12 month time frame. ... No rough handling at all. ... Im also using the Pro and same issues."
"the switches in the left mouse and #1 buttons going out on the original Naga I had for about 10 years of use on SWG and WoW."

"though heavy"
8_string_menace 1.0I’ve used the OG naga, the Logitech G600, and the Corsair Scimitar. All are solid mice, the naga lasted 5 years or so, got it during the ICC raid patch in wows wrath of the lich king expansion. Replaced it with another that only lasted 2 I think. Both had the same problem, the dreaded double left click caused by internal button structure wearing down. You can do short term fixes for it, but it gets annoying. The Logitech lasted about 6 years, different issue, the side buttons stopped responding to input on the 7-9 row, where I keep my big hitter abilities in my task bar. Got the Corsair to replace it as I had heard good things and it’s still going strong. I like the Corsair ICUE software, as others said, it’s a bit awkward until you get the hang of it, but I love that you can sync profiles up with other peripherals, so the mutual lighting effects are matching in my keyboard and headset to. You can also set the devices to ignore the ICUE software and keep a default setup on the onboard memory if you’re taking it elsewhere and want it to feel familiar.
Bacon-muffin 1.0There's really only 4 from well known brands at this point, all of which are overpriced for what they are and have pretty terrible QC. * Corsair scimitar: This things known for having issues with the plastic that actuates the left right click being too soft so it ends up indenting and then stops working. Scroll wheel also has tons of issues. * Razer naga: Razer is infamous for their horrible QC / quality at this point while often being the most expensive due to riding the name the company made for itself back when it was decent. * Steelseries aerox 9: This ones the only one that is designed to be light weight but its overpriced, the side buttons are crap and often have issues along with the scroll wheel. * Red dragon I forget the number: Its a red dragon so yknow, you get what you pay for, but at least its cheap! Another option is getting the "logicool g600" which is the japanese (iirc) version of the logitech g600 which is no longer sold in the west... but this would probably be a bad option for you as its probably the chunkiest and heaviest of the bunch. The rest are all similarly sized and shaped and none meet all your criteria. The smallest / lightest is the aerox 9 but its also one of the most expensive only beat by razer. Red dragons the cheapest followed by corsair.
Think that was right around the time their QC started plummeting. My original naga lasted me 6 years, then made the mistake of getting 2 newer ones that failed in months.

From memory it was the original pear shaped naga. Shape fit my hand just right and did everything else I needed it to. Its really frustrating that I need a new mmo mouse and there's no quality option on the market just the usual 4 suspects that make shoddy products these days.
bdd247 1.0Yup. After they redesigned the side buttons on the OG naga I told myself I'm ordering extra of whatever mouse I like. 2 spare unopened G600 in the closet but this one has lasted a very long time lol.
beatenmeat 1.0I've owned 3 nagas since 2009. They last quite a while for me and I use them daily. The first broke through my own error (tripped on the cord and broke the USB), the second I can't remember exactly what happened but it still lasted for several years, and I've been using the Naga Pro V2 for nearly 3 years now and never had an issue with it. I don't know if I'm just exceptionally lucky or people don't take care of their things.
In that case I hope I continue being lucky because the Naga was instantly my favorite mouse and I really don't know what I will replace it with if I have to move to something else. I've tried a couple other MMO mice and I haven't found one that is as comfortable for me.
blackberrybeanz 1.0Nagas used to be good, my original og one lasted like 8 yrs or so before it died. All thru the crazy sc2 clicks and dota even. The subsequent replacements are not the same build as they used to be.
BlamaeuxPrivateEye 1.0Those old 2009 nagas are impossible to find, and they break very fast. Too bad nothing on the market has similar buttons
BoxerguyT89 1.0I've had so many Nagas. Hands down my favorite mouse, but every single one has done the double click thing after like a year or so. If they were to bring back the original design I'd buy like 5 of them.

Bozofriendly 1.0SteelSeries Aerox 9 I went through a bunch of different mice and have been using MMO mice for my computers for over a decade. My favorite growing up was the OG Razer Naga as the profile was pretty slim. Now alot of MMO Mice are really wide and are uncomfortable to me and are really heavy. I tried every mouse suggested in the comment section but nothing feels as good to me as the Aerox 9. If you are looking for a lighter MMO Mouse with a slimmer profile this is amazing. The only downside I have is it is the body has cut outs to save on weight. It does help keep my hand from getting sweaty, but is susceptible to getting dirt trapped. but it's easy to clean, and I would probably buy this mouse till they no longer sell it. I will say stay away for the corsair scimitar as I had multiple of these RMA and they all had scroll wheel issues. Yes I could mod it so that the scroll wheel tracked properly. But for how much these mice cost I shouldn't have to do that and the SteelSeries has just been a phenomenal mouse for me,
cadetduke 1.0Razer naga was my go to years ago but only had 6 buttons. Bought one of the newer ones and my fingers are too fat because there’s more buttons so a lot of times I hit the wrong button lol
Carl_Chocolate 1.0I loved the first naga, whose buttons were harder to press, ever since they switched to the lighter click I lost interest, cause I was never able to hold it properly ever again (I tried and it usually end up in disabling button 5 so I had some place to hild it with a thumb)
