I'm having a hard time finding a mouse that I will like...

Here are some that I have found:
Razer Plasma Diamondback RZD-1600P
Logitech MX518
Logitech MX510

The main things I need in a mouse that it is corded and has a bunch of easy to access buttons. Right now I have the Logitech MX500, but it doesn't have enough buttons for me. I keep reading that some mice with 7+ buttons, people have a hard time being to use them all. Right now I play World Of Warcraft and I can only bind 3 keys to my current mouse, the 2 side buttons and the click of the scroll button. I can't bind anything to the buttons above and below the scroll wheel because they are linked to the scroll part of the wheel, which means if the scroll wheel is used to zoom so are those 3 buttons.

I am right handed so I will be able to use 99% of mice. Any tips will be appreciated.

Edit: In summery what I need is a good corded mouse with 4+ buttons, which doesn't include the left/right click, scroll click, and other buttons like that. I need sperate buttons that I can bind things to.

if you dont want to wait for the new G series that Logitech is releasing, go with the 518.

I can wait no problem. So the G series will be what I am looking for? - which is more buttons that can be all easily used.
 
When are the G Series mice scheduled to be released? I'm definitely going with the G7 as soon as it's out.
 
Well I'm not dead set on getting one of those 3... Any suggestions would be welcome as well. And as I understand it the 8 buttons are the 2 side, left/right click, scroll wheel click, the 2 buttons the when pressed scroll continuously, and the button below them. What I need is a mouse with all those and a few more. Like side buttons that have a forward and a back click.
 
I hear the Razer copperhead that should be coming out soon has the same shape of the Diamonback, so you could try that and see if its worth waiting for.

I was doing a little bit of looking into the Copperhead. And from what I have derived, I think I may have finally found a suitable replacement for my IntelliMouse Explorer 3.0a. I guess the new side button placement will be a lot more accessible with the Copperhead vs. the Diamondack. I don't care about the 2000dpi laser, 1600 should be more than enough. One thing I do like is the dedicated 32kb onboard memory for storing user profiles on the mouse, as well as being Flash upgradeable! Plus you can change the weight of it, and get dummy buttons for it if you don't like the buttons on the sides of the mouse.

The only thing I want to know is when the damn thing is going to start shipping out. :rolleyes:
 
I just picked up an MX518 today. No complaints. Feels like a much higher quality product than my old Intellimouse 3.0. It is also much more comfortable to use. Hope this helps you.
