15 button mouse

[AnaiG]

Hey all - This is my first post here (been a long time reader though) so I'll start off with a very short introduction of myself.

I've multiboxed for about a year, first I dual boxed a bit but a few weeks ago I started 5-boxing on EU-Daggerspine.
I just got a link to this mouse and I find the idea of 15 programmable buttons quite handy, shame it's so damn expensive though.

Should anyone get this I'd love to hear if it's worth the money!

I'm having trouble seeing all 15 buttons on it...where they hiding?

there's actually a wireless addon for this mouse that is inserted rectally. you contract your intestines to use it.

my previous post is gone. =[
oh well, it wasnt really helpful anyway.

but this mouse may have too many buttons for one hand!! lots of it is on the dpad by the thumb. thats already a good 8 buttons right there.

I would be too retarded to use something like that. Maybe all the octopus-human genetic crossbreeds would be ok with it though.

On top:

2 "normal" buttons
1 button that is also the scroll wheel
2 buttons directly beneath the scroll wheel
2 buttons, one on either side of the scroll wheel between it and the "normal" buttons

Total 7

On each side:
Two thumb/pinky buttons
One rocker switch (counts as two buttons as you can rock it forwards or backwards)

Total 8 (4 per side)

For a grand total of 15.

Personally, I think my 7-button Razer mouse has enough... and I only use 5 of them anyways.
