    I got the Naga the day it came out, and the G600 when I'd first become aware of it. The extra buttons were nice back when I was sinking a ton of time into Planetside 2, but I found that keyboard bindings were just better for most of everything else. And if you play FPS games competitively, the added pressure it takes to press buttons with your thumb can throw off your aim (some high-level Quake players won't even bind left-click to fire for this same reason, opting for a keyboard bind instead).

    Non-MMO is the way to go for most of us. It's important that a mouse fulfill its role as an ergonomic and accurate pointing device, first and foremost. I'm on a Zowie EC1-A right now, but a move back to SteelSeries for the Rival 310 is on my low-priority Amazon wishlist:

    You got that weird-looking mouse that makes you think someone vandalized it when you see the demo model at Best Buy.

    Isn't the point of doing batch work, to use your hotkeys and ditch the mouse? Maybe I'm just old, but using a mouse always seems slower.

    What do you do when you, by accident, drop your mouse on the floor and then everything gets reset?

    You could go either way, but I agree with keyboard being best.

    Wow it's been forever since I've heard someone mention Planetside 2. Wish that game didn't die, it was so good at launch. I was top 5 for a long time but it went so badly downhill :emoji_disappointed:

    For the recent TE batch today (the good one, not the crappy sweetener one), I found myself thinking that it'd be slightly more convenient to have decision+autosubmit keybinds on the mouse rather than the keyboard. I used the mouse quite a bit more than usual, since I had to scroll the page a bit, zoom in on some of the pictures to read them, etc.

    But yeah, for most simple multiple-choice HITs, the keyboard is better.
