As you might have already guessed, I need to find a mouse similar to the Logitech G700 gaming mouse, as mine is starting to fail (IE, double clicking every now and again if I don't hold it right).

The issue is, all of the mice I have been looking at have only got a few buttons. I love having extra buttons for macros and keybindings, but I do not want the Razer Naga with like 12 buttons all one the same side. I seriously doubt it would be very good, but feel free to prove me wrong. I just really like the simple button layout on the 700, where you still have a fair amount of buttons.

I play everything from Battlefield to WoW as well as games like RUSE or CoH, so the G700 has been prefect for all of this, since it is such an all-round mouse. [I have been considering the G700S, but I don't need a detachable wire anymore, and I sort of want something a bit new, but with a similar button layout, if possible.] The 700S seems to be a bit pricey after a quick check (If not, give me new suggestions)
Also, preferred price range is anything below ca. 105$, but if it's really worth it, I might go over.
 
I'm using a Razer Deathadder 2013, but it has 5 buttons. The Chroma version only has different coloured (slightly more even) lighting, slightly different texture and more DPI (6400 in the 2013 is heaps).
If that's enough, then I think it will be good for you. Fits perfect in a fairly large hand, side grips work good, pretty solid and comes with a 2 year warranty (might depend on your country or something).
The side buttons need a little more force to press than I thought, but you won't be accidentally pressing them.
It's also cheap and probably the best gaming mouse at this price.
 

Well it does seem like a good mouse, but I would prefer more thumb buttons, instead of just 2. In my opinion it sort of limits my possibilities with macros/keybindings, but I am considering it.
 
If you liked the G700 then replacing it with a G700S means you don't have tone get used to a new mouse. Also it will give you the grippy side feel, which mine feel more like a rough side rather than grip, but I have no issue with that.

The Razer Naga Hex haso a hex shaged layout around the thumb with 6 buttons.

Another you may like is the corsair m95 with quite a few programmable buttons as well.
 


The M95 seems to have a bit of a weird layout, and I'm not sure if I can get used to that. The Hex isn't too bad of a choice I suppose, but it might not be very ideal for all-purpose gaming. I supppose the 700s would be easy to get used to.

Just checked the price on the 700s: It's not a very ideal price after all.
