You still need a keyboard. It's not like those 6 mouse buttons are going to let you play without one. So what point do they serve? You need 4 keys to smart cast 4 main abilities (Q,W,E,R). You need 4 more to self cast those same abilities (A,S,D,F). You need a few item buttons (1,2,3). Summoner spells (4,T). 6 mouse buttons isnt enough to replace everything even on just one side of a keyboard.
Um, really? A multi-button mouse does not replace the keyboard. Duh. It adds buttons for extra uses. Perhaps you don't like using #1 (a bit of a stretch for me) then you can add it to a thumb button on the mouse. Or maybe a push to talk if you don't like your mic being on all the time. Or ...
I do not know how to respond to this comment, frankly. Multibutton mouses are pretty standard these days and can be pretty useful. Outside of gaming environments too. But you still need a monitor, and a computer, and probably a chair for it to be of much use. And a keyboard.
i was a fan of RAZER back when i bought the Razer Copperhead but since 2012 something happened to them cause i only see out-of-place and outdated products like this one. They release in 2013 a mouse with an OLD "5600dpi laser sensor" ? FAIL!

Fancy words for "it looks cool". Shame on me, how dare I attempt to use interesting vocabulary.JeffFlanagan - Tuesday, March 5, 2013 - link
May be too much name for a mousepad.dvinnen - Tuesday, March 5, 2013 - link
I would consider a Naga Hex if it had a matted top without the LoL branding. Preferably with the Deathadder sensor instead of 70000 dpi laser one.Shadowmaster625 - Tuesday, March 5, 2013 - link
