Conflagrate and life tap on 6-7 may be a problem, often used as you back off and leave your fingers in an awkward position to readjust your camera after taking a turn.
Anyhow, thx for the feedback.
Would this setup improve your performance compared to your current mouse, and why?
Yer, My MX518 is wearing out, and I could do with more buttons on it.
Would you assign different profiles to the mouse, to be able to quickly switch from PvE to PvP and vice versa?
I would love to do that when dual spec comes out, but atm (pre-arena season) it's hard to tell what specs I'll be messing around with.
But for dual-spec, the different profiles will be de~lish!

I did have a lot of macros etc. in order to improve my PVP play style. I had macros such as feign death call pet drink, steady + auto shot(in order to get a proper rotation of it with auto shots between), and many other macros. So I had to use a lot of key bindings at that time which made it ofcourse a little bit more trickier, but easily doable. With this mouse it would give me a great advantage as I would only have to stick with a couple of keys on the keyboard. I would most likely bind it as following :
1. Select(default)
2. Attack(default)
3. Macro for sending pet to destroy totems
4. Focus target
5. Trinket 1
6. Trinket 2
7. Feign death, call pet, mount up (macro)
8. Feign death, call pet, drink up (macro, given that it works)
9. Silencing shot at focused target
10. Scatter shot at focused target(if scatter is cd, auto attack(to prevent players from drinking etc.)
11. Switch from PVP to PVE gear(with a feign death, useful in certain circumstances against certain combos where you know you will not be the one to be nuked)
12. Switch from PVE to PVP gear
13. Zoom in on world map
14. Zoom out on world map
15. Autorun
Along with this I'd most likely bind on my keyboard some buttons for macros such as multishot etc(much burst damage) on focused targets. This would really make my playstyle way better, and probably as close to perfect as it can get(with what knowledge I bear). You can always get better, but you can't get perfect :)
Best regards and props for a nice competition,

I am an avid (and dare I say successful?) PvP player and as much as I love having everything key-bounded to my keyboard, sometimes it's almost not worth key-binding stuff because of finger movement and reaction limitation (for example, your ring finger is not going to be as reflexive as your index). Having this many buttons could free up a lot of space on the players keyboard for spells and macros which is incredibly valuable.
1. Select (Left click)
2. Attack (Right click)
3. Stealth
4. Zoom In / Zoom Out, #4 click would be macro'd to blind on mouse over.
5. Sap
I consider keys 6 & 7 one of those pain keys, because after i have my main target, targeted i use left click on my mouse to re focus my camera at needy times(for a faster reaction).
6. Sprint
7. Evasion
8. Mutilate
9. Hunger For Blood
10. Ambush
11. Vanish
12. LifeBlood
13. Mount/Dismount
14. other trinket; AP bonus ect
15. Escape Artist or trinket (gnome racial)
I would have added a next target macro but tabs so close to where your fingers sit in default ;)
2.macro.
3.skills.
4.training.
5.micro
etc.
Attacks are going to be controlled by keyboard, and the mouse is going to focus on fast instatanious response, counter, and combo
1. left click
2. right click
3. death grip
4. UP - Zoom in
Down - Zoom out
Press - icy touch
5. death coil
6. chain of ice
7. anti magic zone
8. mind freeze
9. ice bond frotitude
10. strangulate
11. unholy presence
12. blood presence
13. frost presence
14. anti magic shell
15. death and decay
Explanation of settings:
1 & 3 would create a semi double clicking actio to select enemy and pull
4 Press - adds combo into 1&3 with ease
5 Pan(righ click), Select(left click), death coil
6 Hunter Molestation Mode On
8 &10 Since keys are placed together (from pic), it is better to set these two close together so that fatal mistakes can be minimized
9 & 13 Borrowed concept from 8 & 10, again to minimize any fatal mistakes
15 fast click combo with left click
P.S. First time playing melee, please gimme some comments for my settings :) Squeezing in Death Pact would be nice :)
