i currently have an mx1000 (keyboard combo was the mx3100 i think). my buttons are kinda wearing out so i was going to upgrade to another mouse (corded hopefully), but heres the thing on the mx1000 there is a 3rd thumb button that i havent been able to find on any other mice. i actually NEED that 3rd button for gaming because i have gotten so used to it. plz help me find a mouse that has that 3rd mouse thumb button and is laser and hopefully corded.and possibly a keyboard to compliment it well. thank you
 
so what u are saying is that your mouse has 3 thumb buttons?
 
I have the MX1000 as well, but I don't believe any other mouse anywhere has that document flip button. However, the newer Logitech MX Revolution mouse has a document flip mini-scroll wheel thingy there in place of the third button. It's wireless (which you said you didn't want) and I'm not sure if you'll be able to map any functions to that button or not since I've never tried myself, but it seems like your only option if you absolutely need the third button.
 
I use the Visiontek XG6 at home. It's rather large as far as mice go -- but my hands are not particularly big, and I don't really have an issue with using it as my day-to-day mouse. It does take some time to get used to, but the three 4-way hat switches (near the thumb, middle finger, and pinky, respectively) essentially make it a *17*-button mouse.
 
thats kinda what im looking for.but that thing looks HUGE. also i cant seem to find it in stock anywhere. any other mice? the reason i NEED that 3rd button is i arena in WoW and i have that 3rd button binded to 3 diff special attacks. i dont really have anymore buttons to bind :( .
 
Yup... the base is (IMO) somewhat useless; I've never used mine.

Kind of strange that none of the major online retailers seem to have the mouse in stock. I just got mine from Amazon a few weeks ago. Even Visiontek's e-store doesn't seem to have it now. Perhaps some sort of legal issue? :confused:
 
You can also look for the "original" Sandio Tech variant (for which I believe Visiontek had a licensing/partnering agreement). The direct Sandio e-store still seems to have it, but, given that even that version seems to be in short/nonexistent supply elsewhere, I would email or call ahead to verify availability.
