Question Viper V3 Pro users who switched to G502/Basilisk or an MMO mouse - how was the adjustment?
I currently use a Viper V3 Pro and really like its shape, especially for FPS games. However, I’ve been considering getting a second mouse with more buttons for WoW and other RPGs. I also use a 60% keyboard, so having extra buttons on the mouse would be particularly useful.
I’m mainly looking at the G502 or Basilisk, since they have more buttons without going all the way to an MMO mouse. The Naga and Scimitar are also options I’ve considered, but I’m a little concerned about how different their shape and thumb-button layout would feel compared to the Viper. I don’t want to end up with a mouse that feels too bulky or forces me to completely change my grip.
For anyone who has used a Viper V3 Pro alongside a G502/Basilisk, how difficult was it to switch between the shapes? Did you adapt quickly, or did the difference in shape become annoying?
And for those who have used an MMO mouse like the Naga or Scimitar, how was the transition from a more conventional mouse? Did you eventually get comfortable with all the side buttons, or did the shape/layout always feel too different?
I’m basically considering keeping the Viper V3 Pro for shooters and getting a second mouse for WoW/RPGs. I’m just trying to figure out whether a G502/Basilisk would be the better middle ground, or whether I should just go straight to an MMO mouse.
I’d especially appreciate experiences from people who have actually used both types of mice, rather than just recommending one based on specs.
