Anyone know a good mouse with a lot of side buttons, that isn't an MMO style? (lemmy.world)

My Razer Naga Pro died and I'm absolutely not buying another one for what it costs. But I also can't seem to find a replacement with the same sort of layout this one had. I'll link a picture, but I'm essentially looking for a mouse that has a lot of side buttons but still has a place for me to rest my thumb without having to worry about accidentally pressing buttons. I don't really like 12 button MMO style mice for this reason, as I constantly feel like I'm going to accidentally press a button. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Edit: I also want to note that I'm right handed, and I hate the feel of ambidextrous mice. I like being able to lay my hand on the mouse and know exactly where my fingers are supposed to go.

After my naga died I went for the swiftpoint z because my hands are too big to use half the buttons on most other mmo mice. It’s way too expensive but easily the best mouse I’ve ever owned.

The WoW Cataclysm mouse, if you can find one. It has a unique button layout that makes them really easy to memorize and find. But they stopped making them a long time ago, so they're hard to find. Check eBay and Amazon, sometimes there's a new, never used one on sale.

Steel series Rival 500. Highly recommended. I got it specifically because I wanted as many buttons as possible but in an actually ergonomic to press layout vs trying to feel out the numbers in a numpad layout. https://steelseries.com/gaming-mice/rival-500

You can rest your thumb on a spot in the middle that looks like a button but isn't and you can also lock out the 2 bottom buttons below your thumb with a physical switch if they get in the way

Has steelseries finally fixed the issue of the rubber on their mice getting dissolved by people with acidic sweat? The only time I bought one of their mice I had to throw it away after 2 months

I've never had issues like that myself
