I use a UtechSmart Venus Gaming Mouse that I got on Amazon. It's relatively cheap and off-brand, but it works well. My first mouse from them started double-clicking on left click after 10 months of pretty heavy use (6+ hours a day), I reached out to the manufacturer and they sent me a completely new one, which I still use to this day.
r/MMORPG • Gaming Mouse recommendations for MMOs? ->I also use the redragon M908 and I love it, very pretty, runs smooth, great battery, no issues. A similar mouse for close to the same price is the Utech smart MMO mouse on Amazon, which is almost identical to the red dragon one except that the top of it has a different texture and a different logo.
r/MMORPG • Any decent mmo mouse ->When my Utech Venus had a sticking button after 7 years, I bought another one because I love this mouse for WoW. It's also very inexpensive
r/wow • Best mouse for WoW with side buttons? ->I stick by my opinion that the utech venus mmo mouse is fantastic. Especially for the $30 price tag. It does everything i could want and more
r/pcmasterrace • The 25 most recommended gaming mouse according to Reddit (in the past year as of Jun 2025) ->As with other comments, I was also coming to mention the UTECH Venus. There is a wired one for about $30 or wireless for $40 and not only does it have the 12 mouse buttons, it has quick dpi buttons by the scroll wheel to increase or decrease on the fly. Also if you go with the wired version there is a section to add or remove little weights to adjust the feel of moving the mouse. I've been using them for the better part of 8yrs and have 3 now. One was an eventual upgrade to from wired to wireless and an additional one to use at work (i work with alot of numbers and in just so used to using it)
r/ffxiv • Looking for an MMO mouse replacement ->I replaced my black g600 with a white utechsmart venus pro, I really like it so far! being wireless is nice, though you do lose that 3rd click button. i haven't missed it but i also haven't played mmos in a bit (I also rarely used it in fear of it not working at a crucial moment lol). biggest peeve is that if you have the LEDs turned off you can't tell if the battery is low, but other than that it's great and matches my setup. there's also a red dragon white wireless mmo mouse out there iirc
r/LogitechG • I need a mouse like this in my life ->i use a UTECH Smart Venus Pro. it was a random amazon find for about $40 usd but actually really nice. i'm on my second one, not bc the first died, but because they came out with a purple one that perfectly matches my setup 😂 old one is now used by my wife. i've probably put in about 3.5k hours in xiv between the two and no signs of issues yet. i have the wireless version; can be used plugged in as well (i often plug in to charge and keep playing lmao)
r/ffxiv • Looking for an MMO mouse replacement ->been using that Utech Venus at the bottom for almost a decade now, Im pretty sure id be completely incapable of swapping at this point
r/wow • I analyzed 1 year of gaming mouse recommendations on Reddit (Nov 2024-2025). These are the top 20 ones on r/wow ->Seconded. I've had mine for years, and it's still doing great.
r/Guildwars2 • How The Heck Do Y'all Press All These Buttons?! (New To MMORPGs On PC) ->The materials are different (the utechsmart venus has a more "rubbery" material and Redragon m908 is more "plasticky" material) and the utechsmartvenus is a little smaller and a little lighter. There's also another difference I dunno how to explain. Otherwise yeah they're identical
r/wow • Best mouse for WoW with side buttons? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS

I'm seeing this 7 months later lol, but in case someone sees this down the line - ditto on that Utech mouse. I had a terrible experience with the Razer MMO mouse and have sworn off Razer since. I bought the Utech because I needed an MMO mouse and that thing was just an unbelievably good buy. It's still working flawlessly even up until now. I do swap between mice depending on the game, so I imagine that contributed to its longevity, but it's still a surprisingly solid product!
r/buildapc • View on Reddit →I stick by my opinion that the utech venus mmo mouse is fantastic. Especially for the $30 price tag. It does everything i could want and more
r/pcmasterrace • View on Reddit →MMO mouses for the win. Though I ventured off brand with U-tech and honestly, no complaints. The driver for it is decent and programmable. I don't think I can game with a regular mouse again
r/pcmasterrace • View on Reddit →Yep, they hold up well. I got mine about the same time. It gets probably 35-40 hours of use per week.
r/MMORPG • View on Reddit →You're welcome. I've tried a few different MMO mice in my time, and the worst ones were the ones with small side buttons as you were unable to really "blind" use them. This one solves that issue. The alternative is the really expensive MMO mice, where the buttons are all of different sizes and shapes, and spread around so your fingers can tell where they are and what they're touching.
r/Guildwars2 • View on Reddit →Same issue! 13" hands pinky-to-thumb... Oddly enough, UtechSmart Venus. Ordered it to replace my corsair scimitar on a whim, and I actually loved it. Just go ahead and forget about downloading the software, it is a hell of a time getting it to work...
r/pcmasterrace • View on Reddit →It certainly does feel more tactile since you can feel the slant of the next row. I've no idea how the texture difference works. I know how they mechanically work since they work by touch, and there are many ways the sensory input from touch can be interrupted, while the slanted buttons work by stereognosis, which is the sense to recognise objects by touch alone. Stereognosis is how you can reach into your pocket and identify it by the form it has alone.
r/Guildwars2 • View on Reddit →I also use the Utech Venus. I find most gaming mice too big, but it's a good size and very responsive. Been using it for almost a year and a half now
r/Guildwars2 • View on Reddit →Thanks for the recommendation, how is the feedback on the side buttons?
r/MMORPG • View on Reddit →Omg thats the mouse I was about to suggest, been using it for a few years and I dont any complaints besides its hard to clean btu i think all mmo mouses will be.
r/ffxiv • View on Reddit →I got mine online. I have no idea how much they are in physical shops, I just know that I've never seen them locally. I did find out yesterday that other companies have started giving physical indicators. Corsair has a few models with 12 side buttons where the rows are differentiated by one smooth, one with texture, smooth, and then texture for the last row.
r/Guildwars2 • View on Reddit →yeah i have wired and wireless utech venus for like 6 years...solid and cheap (i did buy two more red dragon's as replacements for button fatigue)
r/wow • View on Reddit →It's pretty good imo. I haven't used them a lot, only 4 or 6 while playing WoW, but never had to complain.
r/MMORPG • View on Reddit →The alternating angle on the side buttons is the game changer. And the higher actuation force than Naga or g600. It's just ideal.
r/Guildwars2 • View on Reddit →Put me down for a Redragon 913. I went from razer naga, naga trinity and then Corsair and all went out within a year. I've had the Redragon for over 2 years, flawless and if it does mess up, well it's cheaper to replace. Oh I did have a utech Venus between the Corsair and Redragon, i just swapped it out because I got a Redragon keyboard and figured I'd match my mouse to it. It was fine as well.
r/wow • View on Reddit →Yes, it has its own interface program where you can set every functionality of it. You can even turn off keys, so that even if you hit them by accident, nothing happens.
r/Guildwars2 • View on Reddit →UtechSmart Venus has got me through many many years of MMO gaming at low price point.
r/MMORPG • View on Reddit →I think they are good, for me at least. The angles are helpful to help differentiate between the rows.
r/MMORPG • View on Reddit →It may be on the bottom of the list... But the UTechSmart Venus Pro is the best mouse you can get hands down. Never ever ever waste money on razer. There are various tests that show how poorly they are made with little research.
r/wow • View on Reddit →Shameless plug, I did a video reviewing basically every MMO mouse on the market: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjEPkqTV7LQ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjEPkqTV7LQ) The [Utech Venus Pro ](https://www.amazon.com/UtechSmart-transmission-technology-Ergonomic-programmable/dp/B07XP4K152/ref=sr_1_1?crid=W6S9G6YE0HJ7&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.C5MBP_o3C1K4ShS2NpHfGIlFgDWE4TVyc6tF-5tWlwqS0Rqsfb8eTkKVYXyd_fSY.5CaiAkyGuwSH-K-PIAFGYj-mAWbITeURjNRw_P7UIok&dib_tag=se&keywords=utech+venus+pro&qid=1721526805&sprefix=utech+venus+rp%2Caps%2C133&sr=8-1)came out after I made it, and it's my new favorite, it's way better than it has any business being.
r/Guildwars2 • View on Reddit →$30 USD on Amazon. [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XP4K152?th=1](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XP4K152?th=1) Not a "name brand" but damn it works great. Wireless or you can use it while plugged in, good software for keybinds.
r/Guildwars2 • View on Reddit →Adding in my support about the Smart Venus Pro, I got it on a whim when my logitech died a couple months ago and I couldn't be happier with it! IMHO worth it for the price plus it comes in pink. I've used Razer Naga, Corsair Scimitar and Logitech G600 so far this has been way better than the naga and the scimitar.
r/ffxiv • View on Reddit →The materials are different (the utechsmart venus has a more "rubbery" material and Redragon m908 is more "plasticky" material) and the utechsmartvenus is a little smaller and a little lighter. There's also another difference I dunno how to explain. Otherwise yeah they're identical
r/wow • View on Reddit →The Utech Venus has been excellent since I bought is several years ago. It's been hard to game with anything else since. Love the 12 buttons for mouse over macros as a pali healer.
r/wow • View on Reddit →Came here to mention UTechSmart as well! I've been using their Venus mouse- it's great with twelve programmable side buttons, two buttons below the scroll wheel (initially set to changing DPI but I've set them to move between button profiles), another one next to the LMB (originally a double click but again can be set to whatever you like), and RGB lights if that's a draw for you. And the fact that it's usually sub $40 with sales and what not is very cool for me.
r/ffxiv • View on Reddit →I would recommend this Venus MMO mouse. The side buttons on that are planted. This results in that you can feel what button you're at.
r/Guildwars2 • View on Reddit →I use this, UtechSmart Venus Gaming Mouse, won't brake the bank and I've had it for 7 years now with no problems.
r/wow • View on Reddit →https://preview.redd.it/4b2jh96sh22g1.jpeg?width=3040&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4b1cf0047948f7ff2f224684e2d8fa33d8e9cdbe I use a UTechSmart Venus Pro, mostly for the side buttons.
r/LinusTechTips • View on Reddit →I use the Utech Venus Pro, and I have never found another gaming mouse that I like better. The buttons are set at alternating tilted angles so that it's easy to tell in an instant which button your thumb is on. I love it so much that I keep a spare just in case mine gives out. And it's way more affordable than most!
r/Guildwars2 • View on Reddit →Utech Venus user here too. I originally had a Razer that died way too quickly...switched to Utech and never looked back
r/Guildwars2 • View on Reddit →Love my g600. Using the utech venus now and i like it almost as much especially for the price point
r/wow • View on Reddit →Yeah, Venus Pro is still my favorite. I actually have two! I use one with my laptop when traveling. The one I use with my desktop is starting to get a little unresponsive on some of its buttons, so I'm probably going to take it apart and clean up the switches with some [of this stuff](https://www.amazon.com/BW-100-Nonflammable-Electronic-Contact-Upsidedown/dp/B07FNBW47M) sooner or later
r/Guildwars2 • View on Reddit →Utech has one like this. Wireless, all white. I've used it for years and it's better than my Razer Naga. Utech Venus Pro for around $30. Redragon M908 is almost identical. I have it too and both are A+
r/LogitechG • View on Reddit →Hi, I bought a UtechSmart MMO mouse back in 2021, and I am still using it without any issue so far.
r/MMORPG • View on Reddit →Utech one is the best hands down. My wired one crapped out after a few years of heavy use but I got another and that's been going strong for years. I also bought the wireless version for my laptop. Id look no further OP
r/MMORPG • View on Reddit →As with other comments, I was also coming to mention the UTECH Venus. There is a wired one for about $30 or wireless for $40 and not only does it have the 12 mouse buttons, it has quick dpi buttons by the scroll wheel to increase or decrease on the fly.

One was an eventual upgrade to from wired to wireless and an additional one to use at work (i work with alot of numbers and in just so used to using it)
r/ffxiv • View on Reddit →Shameless plug, I did a video on it a while back (ignore terrible white balance): [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjEPkqTV7LQ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjEPkqTV7LQ) Nowadays, I use the Utech Venus Pro which I think came out after I made the video. It's just been the best balance of comfort, weight, and features: [https://www.utechsmart.com/index/products/detail/id/25.html](https://www.utechsmart.com/index/products/detail/id/25.html) I also do like the Steelseries Aerox9 still, but it's not my first choice because it's not a good fit for a lot of hands.
r/Guildwars2 • View on Reddit →I use redragon m913 really decent mouse i use to have the utechsmart venus gaming mouse but it keep d/cing while charging its a solid mouse too but redragon one dont have that issue mind you both of mines are wireless but they have wired versions if you like that.
r/MMORPG • View on Reddit →I don't use an mmo mouse for BDO but I do use it for my other mmos that require me to use lots of buttons with a hotbar. For that I really recommend this one. It has a certain texture on the practice that keeps the thing from getting giga slippery or such overtime. It's almost like a light sandpaper. It feels extremely nice to use. https://www.amazon.com/UtechSmart-transmission-technology-Ergonomic-programmable/dp/B07XP4K152/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa?crid=D746H810IXOW&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9._MbtjPYj9yIW2gLI8ur-IOxumI2tuMQdpU8zxRlaMNgq-QFcUmjHlKnR5ddc0seLfFiSQ7WRYKthnqtevNMyra-uGtkNY9Jk261vrmD4-ZfOsNR6mf7tqIV3CtsanW-r6wSvNZZvi8SFDuJps21oY_cSI86ZgQY39F7pT0eOzokMjbpCii6OXsbeYYquc6nklaaBmb9U5ULkJukwF3ISDA.Zy4J4Mowy4ZMtZnsD-gwYWLIcJzdFoEdrnG1PkICwW8&dib_tag=se&keywords=utechsmart&qid=1744851089&sprefix=utechsmar%2Caps%2C168&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9waG9uZV9zZWFyY2hfYXRm&psc=1
