Help me decide!!!!

what is the best mouse on the market to buy?? I play mostly WoW and Dayz so would like one to go well with those games! Also will be buying a keyboard soon for the same games! I have been looking on EliteGaminGear.com at the mouse called the naga is that one decent for WoW? Any help on deciding would be helpful!!!! Budget 150 and lower for each!

I have a Naga Razer mouse, the one with 1-12 on the side which is built for MMOs, and I love it. It takes some getting used to, but once you've got it figured out it works a million times better than using the numbers up top on the keyboard. One thing I did in-game to help with adjusting to it is arrange my hotbar so that it mimics the layout on the mouse. The numbers are four rows of 3 numbers going horizontally, so 123, then 456, then 789, then 10, 11, 12. So I arranged my hotbar to look the same way, and function the same way. It took some messing with the game's default keybind, but for me having the hotbar on screen and the buttons on my mouse visually match up is very helpful. But this was in Final Fantasy XIV, so I'm not certain that WoW or DayZ have such flexibility. Either way, I know people who haven't done this to their hotbar and use it just fine.

I got mine used on Amazon for $60, but as with anything like that it just sort of depends on what's available.

Okay cool cool thanks! Have you ever used the razer mamba? Is the wireless worth a crap?

I use a wired optical laser mouse, the Sharkoon Fireglider, set on a Sharkoon cloth mouse pad which also came fairly cheaply. It's never let me down and comes with included software for quickly changing sensitivity presets.

For a keyboard, I use a cheap and sturdy SteelSeries mechanical keyboard. I've never needed anything else.

I have never liked wireless, but less for the responsiveness and more for the inconvenience of it. I'm sure since it's a Razer product it will be high quality, but to me the benefits of wireless have never outweighed the pain of keeping it charged or needing batteries.

I second the recommendation of the Naga Razer. It's a great mouse, especially if you're planning on doing a lot of MMOs or RTS games because of the keypad on the side. It has a good shape too. Only gripe is that sometimes my thumb hits the numeric keys, and they're also pretty small so it's easy to hit the wrong one or accidentally push your mouse into the keyboard or something else on your desk.

I've since upgraded to a R.A.T. 7 which is probably the best mouse I've ever used, if you don't mind spending a little extra, because I can adjust its shape for my enormous hands, something that's always a pain for me with computer mice, but it doesn't have the side buttons like the Razer so probably not as good for MMOs.
