Hey,
some time ago this site helped me a lot to find my beloved Filco and now I'm searching for a new mouse. Beside office work I use it for playing Dota 2 (no FPS).
Currently I own a good old MX518 (got it for over 8 years now) and a CM Storm Spawn. I never really get used to the Spawn. I guess my biggest problem is that the mouse buttons are too soft and I often activate them accidentally - mostly the RMB - but I really don't know.
To the grip I'm using: I guess it's mostly fingertip grip with the heel of my hand resting on the mouse pad (currently a 6 year old QcK
). On the MX518 my palm doesn't touch the mouse (sometimes the upper palm near the ring finger is the exception - hope you know what I mean). I attached some pictures to illustrate my grip und to clarify if this is really a fingertip grip (I always thought I use palm grip
).
First I wanted to buy a EC1-A because of the form that - on the pictures - seems similar to the MX518. But then I read that this mouse is mostly recommended for FPS and in addition is not so good for fingertip but for palm.
So the research went on and now this is my list:
- Roccat KPM (I dislike the colors and the whole military thing but the fact sheets looks good)
- ZOWIE FK1 (bit confused about their numbering and how the size differences stated on the sheet appear in reality)
- Mionix Avior 7000
- Logitech G302 (are the buttons very loud?)
As you can see these are all ambidextrous models with that I've no experience but from what I've read about fingertip this is the most suitable form for it.
\edit: Additional information: My hand measures 19cm (7.5 inches) from the top of the middle finger to the wrist.
What do you say or suggest?
TIA
Thomas
P.S.: Unfortunately the local dealer has only a very small selection of only cheap mice.
P.P.S.: I know the MX518 is dirty but I don't get it clean anymore.
