A mouse with programmable keys on the side. It's so convenient combining control keys with mouse movements in one hand.
I have a mouse with 6 buttons on the side and it's great for gaming. When I used to play fortnite I had all the building mapped there so I could do all my building with my right thumb and it wouldnt distract my left hand from movement controls
Get the Logitech G600 and have essentially 24 buttons on the side (12 + a “shift” button to give each of those 12 a different command).
To be fair, I only use about 6 of those buttons, haha.
If the software allows it you can have a button that changes between mouse modes with different button mappings. Infinite buttons
I guess you'd have a mode for entering the name of a mode then. Like vim. A whole mode that's just navigating your collection of modes.
Ngl I've thought of doing that if it ever gets to >4 modes.
It's certainly great for gaming. I didn't expect it would make things so much easier on everyday use as well.
I've had Shift+W programmed to my thumb button. Way more relaxed way to sprint in most games.
MMO mouses for programming
Are they useful outside of gaming ?
They have come in handy while using design software
can you give some examples where it would come handy?
Yeah sure.
Whenever I'm working on a big photoshop file and I find myself using a tool very often, I bind the side buttons to that tool. At minimum I always keep the redo, undo buttons binded to the mouse.
Whenever I'm browsing the web I have forwards and backwards binded so I don't have to move my mouse across the screen to go back a page.
It's all trivial stuff but it makes my workflow slightly more fluid. I initially bought the mouse for gaming, but it has been super useful for me outside of gaming
