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...

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

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)

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.

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.

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

Been with a UTechSmart Venus since 2016. It's now at 40€ but back in time I paid 17€ for it and still working pretty good for me. I wanted a Corsair Scimitar back then but was just teenager and didn't have any incomes except for what my parents gave me so I took that one. I'm so used to it that I don't know if I want to change now and it's still perfectly working after 9 years

Utech Smart Venus has been my mouse for the past decade, great for MMOs, MOBAs, FPS, RTS, anything that can use a full numpad or a bunch of shortcuts/macros. Has a textured matte coating that makes it much less slippery than other mice too. My first one after 5 years had the 6 button stop working but was also the one I used with my highschool and college laptop so it was always in and out of a backpack. Nothing wrong with the replacement or the one I bought for CAD at work yet.

I was using a utech Venus for about 6 years (got it in the uk for like £25), never did me wrong. Onto the Scimitar now although it does have some double clickin issues and when I first got it the right click would unpress causing my camera to stop moving and cursor to fling about when playing wow, went back to the utech. It finally broke so tried the scimitar out again and the right click issue is fixed but still double clicks

I picked up this mouse ([uTech Smart MMO Mouse](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FNKMVUO?psc=1)) for $30, and short of the gshift feature which I never used, it's actually great! I like the software better than G-Hub, but it does lag a bit while saving settings. Overall, for $30 (I paid for $40 for my original G600) it's an excellent mouse. My G600 was falling apart unfortunately and $90 for a mouse was too steep. G-Hub frankly was getting worse with every other update. There was an old software you could use for simpler functionality, but the uTech mouse is a good middle-ground between the old software and the modern software (which I found fairly frustrating to use).

12 buttons . I am more dextrous with my right hand so it can deal with the abilities . My left has its own keypad with a joystick to use for modifiers and other things . I use a utech venus, (there's a red dragon mouse that's got the same hardware but a slight cover change) and a F14 tactical assault commander. They work very well together . The less time I spend using my actual keyboard the better , for disability reasons.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yes I went to Curry's in the UK, where they sell both of these and you can try them out. I could have RMA'd my Naga's in the past but didn't think to do so as I would have been without a mouse. The most recent warranty expired in February so I just missed it, I've been living with the issue for well over a year. I went through my Amazon order history and I tried a redragon and utech in the past and the side buttons didn't give enough feedback to be spammed, they were far too squishy, so I sent them back. The Scimitar buttons also didn't feel as good as the Naga, and it doesn't feel great in my hand. There are also lots of reports of the scroll wheel breaking too, and looking at one in person yesterday I don't think it would stand up to me either. The V2 HyperSpeed has a completely different scroll wheel design and I want to see if it lasts longer, it also uses a single AA battery that I can swap out for a rechargeable one, so I get a wireless mouse back finally too. I haven't tried a SteelSeries yet, but 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. Having great side buttons is more important to me than a scroll wheel, as I use the side buttons in nearly every game I play. If it breaks again, I'll be RMA'ing immediately, but it already feels more robust than the other Naga models, here's hoping anyway.

Utech Venus, $40 on Amazon and has a numpad and thumbrest. Don't go for the cheaper RedDragon mouse, it gets slick quickly and the side buttons are easy to press accidentally.

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

I looked at some of those nut thought the price was too high, I paid 30 for my new g600 when they were still being sold. That said, my replacment is better in every way, with the exception of how the software looks ui wise.

I replaced my g600 with the UtechSmart Venus Gaming Mouse RGB Wired. The quality, textured finish, button feel, and weight are very nice. Software allows you to assign buttons and change the RGB lights. I also heard good things about the Redragon M913 Impact Elite Wireless Gaming Mouse. I purchased it from Ali express but didn't test it since the other mouse is doing so well. You can get both direct from their respective sellers on Ali express cheaper then Amazon.

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.

Chiming in here as well; for $30-40 this is an excellent replacement for a G600. If you're particularly entrenched with the g-shift feature then nothing else will work, but I never found the dexterity to engage with that part of the mouse. I think the software is surprisingly functional and easier to use; it reminds me of the older (better) Logitech G600 software than G-Hub.
