I've built about 15 computers, I have probably 10tB of games installed and from the moment I wake up to the moment I fall asleep, I'm at a computer desk. I've used every cheap mouse on the market, and my main mouse for awhile was a steelseries rival 600. I used to have this really weird play style when I gamed where I would go half mouse, half controller, which is fine for games like Overwatch where I don't need too many buttons, but this wouldn't work well with my setup on other games that needed more buttons, but the skills of my left hand on a controller far surpassed the skills they had on a keyboard, and I was too stubborn to practice.That meant I needed a mouse with more buttons, so I ended up getting a Razer Naga Trinity, because there were at least 2 different types of sides that I could change up. I found that I didn't like the 12 buttons on the side, I couldn't help but fat finger some of them, so I ended up using the side that had 6 buttons on it and my grip formed to that handle (which was fat and heavy). I used that mouse to the end of it's life (only 10 months, Razer has failed to impress me, the left click only worked half of the time by the end) which left me looking for another mouse to be my new main.I found the X15 and thought the same thing that you probably thought, "EVGA makes mice?" so I decided to give it a chance, especially since it was 50% off as well. Now, the software to setup might scare a few people at the start, but once you get whatever you want mapped out, set your perfect DPI (I only need 3, but it's memory stores way more than that), you're golden. Honestly the only times I've opened the EVGA app since I bought the mouse has been to mess with the RGB.First thing I'll admit was the grip seemed to seriously lack, and I was almost ready to ship it right back and try something new. Yet in the first 10 minutes I found that when you first use the mouse, if your hand is completely clean and dry, the mouse will slip right out of your hand. But let's be real, this mouse isn't meant for clean freaks, it's meant for the Mountain Dew chuggin' cheetoh destroyin summbisch that's readying this review. This mouse thrives with a dirty hand. No lie, with just a bit of skin oil you'll have a pretty solid grip (had it for 6 months now, and I completely forgot about the first time I held it until I was writing this.)The clicking is smooth, the left to me at first had an audible springy sound...hard to describe, no one else could hear what I was talking about because it was that subtle, but over time after it was broken in it has resolved itself (and I mean like...headphones work too). Changing grip might have been the hardest thing having come from a much wider mouse, but this one isn't as heavy as the naga trinity. At first I didn't know what to do with my pinky, but over time I stopped relying on the pinky and my hand broke it's old muscle memory and adapted to the shape of the new mouse.I will admit I have completely upgraded my left hand as well, as it turns out the only thing that made me better was the analog stick, so now when I game I have an Azeron in one hand, and the x15 in the other. Now, I have too MANY buttons, but all of the complaints I've had with the other mice in my life, has been completely solved. I even macro'd a few of the buttons I don't use elsewhere to make editing on Adobe Premiere a little easier. I would recommend this mouse. Even if it never is on sale again, I would easily buy another one.

When I first saw the EVGA X15 in a newegg flier I was interested enough to keep checking online til the price dropped down to 30$ to buy one. I am primarily a mmo gamer at this point who uses every key available on the Razer Naga mice to play my jobs but am dissatisfied with Razer's current lineup due to the issues they come with. There also hasn't been much innovation in the space since their initial launch so seeing something new caught my attention easily. I will be mainly comparing the X15 to the Razer Naga X as my trinity broke, and I bought these 2 mice together as replacements.The EVGA X15 is an interesting take on the MMO mouse design, instead of having a 12 button numpad on the side, it only features 10 buttons in a "unique" layout. They tried to give your thumb a resting spot in the middle of the 3x3 layout of the 1-8 keys however I feel I would have liked to just have the extra button and be careful with my thumb. I'm the type of user who is used to having 12 buttons there so I know how to not grip and misclick, a sentiment I feel most users who would be looking at this mouse would probably agree on. I also don't like how the buttons are arranged, with one being in the middle of 2&5 as it made my standard simple brain 1,2,3 rotation feel very off. I would have to remake all my hotbars in FF14 as with the little time I spent in the software didn't see if I could remap them. I usually prefer stock settings on mice however this one is something I feel any user would have to change which I will get more into in a little bit.On top of the mouse you get several more buttons with the 11 and 12 keys, two buttons behind the mouse wheel, and the mouse wheel has side clicks which is a nice touch. This alone gives more options than the Razer Naga X as they cheaped out on that mouse cutting the side clicks and only having the 1 button behind the mouse wheel. The X15 also has a Ace up its sleeve with the Z-shift key. Its essentially a 3rd mouse button for the ring finger that changes what each button does when held down. This is why you will probably want go into the settings to configure. If you want to create super macros, shortcuts, etc you can do so in spades with the Z-shift easily. I was a hardcore user of having similar features using Shift + a number key in FF14 so having this built into the mouse so I wouldn't have to stretch my left hand made me think of all the things I could do.Build quality wise the mouse isn't to bad either. Compared to the Naga X which costs a bit more than it on average, you still get a tightly braided cable vs a loose fake braided one, sleek black pads on the bottom of the mouse vs cheap white ones, good feeling clicks, mouse wheel moves a bit sluggish on both but you get used to it in a sense, but the buttons on the side, the main attraction do feel a bit off on the X15. Especially the larger buttons, they wobble a bit more and there really isn't much feedback.Overall, at 30$ I think this mouse is really cool. I did put it down immediately as it is going to be a commitment to restart my muscle memory from scratch, and come up with a better keybind layout that works for me and this mouses design. So I do daily drive the lackluster Naga X for a closer to home feel right now however the X15 truly is the more interesting and honestly probably better value mouse if you want to learn how to use it. I would honestly never pay 80$ for this mouse, but after months of following it I never seen it rise over 50$ and mostly staying down at 40$ until it hit 30$ and has been sitting there. If they make a second gen version or a pro model I would be interested in seeing some slight changes to the layout mainly around the side buttons, moving closer to a traditional layout and improving the switches quality/ standardizing the size of the keys.
