SeekerSteelSeries Rival 500
The SteelSeries Rival 500 is an excellent MMO mouse. While it doesn't have a typical 12-button side panel like most other dedicated MMO mice, it has a ton of programmable buttons spread all over the mouse. Its slanted, right-handed shape is quite comfortable for extended use, and all hand sizes should be able to reach all the buttons when using palm grip.
