Why an MMO mouse isn’t just for gaming — make use of the myriad of buttons for enhancing your productivity workflows in popular software applications
An example of my personal usage is my Logitech G Superlight 2 - this is my current go-to mouse for when I get a little serious about playing my favourite FPS games. This MOBA mouse had the usual left/right mouse buttons and a scroll wheel, but had an extra six buttons on the side panel nearest my thumb. There was a little changeable rubber nodule in the middle of the ring of six buttons to rest your thumb on and grip the mouse, so as not to accidentally press any of the side buttons.
