$35 BF sale on amazon
I'm so curious about how you couldn't find this mouse. When was that? Where do you live?
They're as easy to buy as a 12 pack of Coke in the USA:

Pretty good mouse. If you're still inclined toward it I recommend it. With a bit of time and training the side buttons become known to muscle memory.
I can't live without my Logitech G600. My favorite MMO mouse by far. The side buttons feel okay (not mechanical or anything), but that ring finger button up top is great, and the shape is very comfortable for my medium sized hands (I'm a woman with normal sized palms and longish fingers, for hand size reference). I bound dodge to the ring finger key and now I have no idea how I'll play if they ever discontinue the mouse and my current one breaks, it'll take ages to get used to keyboard dodging again lol
I'll be looking into it. Thank you for the suggestion!

Definitely the way to go. Logitech makes nice peripherals.
G600 is a popular one. It s a bit on the heavy side, they add a metal weight if you open it. Others may be more lightweight but a mmo mouse with 12 buttons is my preference. You can make due binding Alt and cntrl to gaming mouse with less buttons and use alt + key or cntrl + key also. Some like the bigger buttons compared to the smaller 12 side buttons.
Ah, I just bought a similar mouse for an entirely different reason, motion sickness! For righties who'd like the ability to make their mouse slower to prevent motion sickness (or faster if they can't move the mouse much!) there's the Logitech G600
I use Logitech G600, it's currently on sale:
Bear in mind that there are options like this out there that can help the impared with their gaming. In this case especially, by offloading the WASD / Arrow keys to a foot pedal, it makes a lot of action and FPS games doable. I don't know the specifics about this situation, but I talked with a gamer in the past who lost his left arm, and a pedal like that with a mouse like this made him just as capable as anyone else.
I use the Razer Naga 2014. The mechanical side buttons feel really nice to use. Razer's "Synapse" software works decently well with Mac, as you can bind any button to a multitude of functions. The only issue I've run into is that the OS-level mouse tracking seems to reset to 0 on reboot. Not a huge issue. I would definitely purchase this mouse again if mine were to ever go up (had it for about 11 months now with no issues.)
The Logitech G600 has decent reviews, although I didn't go with it because a) the side buttons are squishy, and b) the software only works in Windows, so if you want to rebind keys to something else, you're out of luck.
A cheaper option is the Redragon Perdition, which is a newer "MMO mouse." I couldn't verify, but I don't believe this one has any Mac software either. However, the buttons are still just numeric keys, so if you don't need anything crazy, it should be fine. You can also store the button profiles on the device, so if you have a Windows install, you can apply it there then use it in OS X.
There's also the UtechSmart Venus. Not bad reviews; fairly new; cheap. Like the two previous mice, I don't believe it has any Mac software, but the extra buttons will still function.
I suppose the lighting on the back looks unprofessional. Did you try the Logitech G600. It looks more business appropriate, and as someone who has owned 3 nagas and a G600, it's a better mouse. White Verision.
I don't know of any other mice with that many programmable buttons that doesn't look gamer specific, sorry.
Depending on what you get, they ca be cheaper.
Like Logitech G600 MMO Gaming Mouse, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0086UK7IQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_AjtGyb60APMK4
It is half the price of the one in the OP, and a very good mouse.
Right handed only, but not all 9+ buttons are expensive.
I bought the white one when it dropped to like $34.
(I suggest learning to use the mouse right handed for games, as it will BENEFIT your ability to play. You want your more dexterous and favorable hand on the keyboard, ideally, and this favors lefties.)
Unfortunately, left handed anything is going to be 1.5-2x the price.
