Amazon Basics Pro Gaming Mouse with 12,000 DPI Optical Sensor, 12 Programmable Buttons, Backlit RGB LED - Black

For 14.70, this mouse is great. I am not currently using the software but I did download it and put it through 5 different scanners to make sure it was clean. I am not sure why some people have issues with using more than 1 button at a time as mine worked fine with no software. By default, the 1-12 buttons are mapped to 1-= on the KB. all in all great for what I paid.

For under $20 I wasn't expecting much, but this is a great mmo mouse! It's a little large, but that was expected as it has the mmo button layout. LEDs are not too bright, and I like the default "rainbow" variation. With the software, you can config the LEDs as well, but I just left it default.The software is good, super simple, and actually considerably more straightforward when compared to my Steel Series engine for my shooter mouse (Steel Series Sensei). Yes, I am using this and the Steel Series specifically for different gaming applications, but not due to software/speed/dpi/etc. it's just a size thing for my accuracy.For MMO gaming, this thing is great! I mapped all of my DayZ emotes and weapon switches to the number buttons on the left side of the mouse. The buttons are clearly defined and easy for me to reach with my thumb. 1, 2 & 3 are a bit of a reach, but not overly so. I'm sure this would be great in WoW or other type MMOs that require custom macro binds.The link to the software is still MIA from the product page, but another reviewer has left a link for it. That link works, and I triple scanned the .exe to ensure it wasn't infected. The software is simple, and easy with multiple profiles.The good: Inexpensive, good build quality, comfortable buttons, software is simple. LEDs are nice if that's yer thing. It's cheap in price, but not on quality.The Bad: The DPI button has no LED to notify you which setting you are on, and there are like 8 individual settings for it. I set mine all the same 2 DPI settings so if I click that button, it just switches between the 2 DPI settings I prefer (1200/2400). The DPI goes to 12000 which seems insane, and the slider for the setting in the software does not allow keypad entry, you have to use the slider. Not much of a ding on this mouse, but that was the only headache I could find thus far.I will update this review if any issues occur.Systemtested : Windows 10, i5 Ivy CPU, RTX 3060ti USB 3.0.Software link used: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/G/01/AmazonBasics/Software/AmazonBasics_MMO_GAMING_MOUSE_V1.006._CB4081

Works as a basic mouse via plug and play. Manual directs you to download software to be able to use the additional buttons. The software is no longer available so the mouse is worthless for the intended purpose.

A great choice when it comes to affordability and reliability for a gaming mouse. I have used this mouse for about 2 years with no issues. The cord has held up and the buttons haven't worn out, which is a compliment since I play MOBA's like Dota and League and usually run through mouses quickly. Now as for the buttons on the side, I'm not sure how programmable they are as I have not needed to. But even without that, they are a quick way to access the number pad quickly. Now I am used to having a bigger mouse, so this took time to get used to, but after a while, it all feels the same. This won't beat say a Razor but unless you're a professional or super hardcore gamer, trust me, you don't really need that. Even for FPS, 12,000 DPI is far more than enough. Final thoughts if you need a cheap easy-to-use plug-and-play mouse that holds up this isn't a bad choice. Plus save yourself from the wireless mouse where the batteries die in the middle of your game and you have to apologize to your team for being useless.

The keypad is most important on these type of mice and for a $15 mouse this one is unmatched.+Keypad feedback is good+Keys are easy to decipher with your thumb+Overall Ergonomics are solid

I’m giving a 4 stars for 2 reasons the 1,4,7 and 10 buttons are very close to the bottom so if I had skinnier fingers it may be little easier to hit them but still a bit of a challenge. I find myself tipping the mouse on it side at times when in a fight to be able to hit the bottom buttons.Also the rear of the mouse has a large back end and I find myself having to place my hand high on the mouse to reach all the buttons and left and right at the same time. Agin could just be my hand size.overall the feel and look of the mouse If I could give it 10 stars I would for $10 this feels like a $60-70 mouse. The quality is outstanding and it’s perfect weight and solid not cheaply made IMO like a Chinese mouse that rattles and sounds like broken pets inside... I was shocked I really was same quality feel of g600 or naga... yeah that good but wish I had bigger hands is the honest statement. And would I recommend this absolutely! If you are looking to try out a 12 button mouse but don’t want to spend a lot this is the one! For 10 bucks I’m going to keep it around for whatever.

When you left click and right click at the same time the mouse registers it as no buttons pressed. So when playing an MMO and using this mouse as a run tool is very troublesome. Other than that huge flaw the mouse is fantastic.

The mouse is simple and it works. If you are in a budget this mouse is great for MMO's.
