hi
can someone suggest to me which mouse is good for fingertip gripper for size 18cm from wrist to top of middle finger?
my max budget is $70

mainly gonna use it for fps gaming so i dont care about macro keys, rgb light etch
my first choice for fingertip grip mouse before this are cm spawn since the size of this mouse are small but after i test my friend cm spawn, i immediately dislike this mouse because of the ring and pinky finger rest on this mouse
i tend to let my ring and pinky finger dragging on my mousepad so if possible i dont want any mouse that have ring/pinky finger rest on it

logitech g303 also i already tried and its really uncomfortable to hold it
g502 are too heavy to use even without their adjustable weight

right now im using logitech g700 but this mouse are really heavy for fingertip gripper, i like the comfortably on this mouse really comfortable to hold it but the weight is the reason i want to find another mouse for gaming purpose
hope u guys can help me
thanks

maybe the zowie ZA or the zowie FK? or maybe a WMO (old mouse),
they're all small ambidextrous mouse, popular with fingertip-grippers.
the G100s is pretty small as well but it might be a bit similar to the G303. (i don't own a G303 so i can't compare.)

I'm a claw gripper and the zowie is awsome!
It would work well for fingertip gripping as well.

Have a look at the Mionix Avior 7000 or the Naos 7000 if you want an ergonomic one. I recently got the Avior which I hold exactly like you and is by far the most comfortable mouse I ever had.

I think WMO would be suitable if you're ok with the imperfect tracking.. overall it's pretty solid as long as you're running it at 1000hz..

Don't do the Naos if you don't like finger rests.

The WMO is a good cheap mouse. It's only $25 brand new on Newegg. It's also extremely light, which is my favorite part. It's so hard to find mouses that are light and simple nowadays.

There's also the Intellimouse 1.1 on Newegg for $34. It's pretty much the same except you get some side buttons.

Razer Abyssus would work, and it's light and cheap.

You could also try a Logitech G1.

There's also the SteelSeries Sensei Raw if you don't mind laser. I don't like that it has side buttons on both sides because sometimes I accidentally click stuff I don't want to, but I know they are good mice and Fnatic used them for a long time.

does the intellimouse use the same sensor as wmo without the prediction.. I'm not super sure on this one..

I'm not quite sure about the prediction, I haven't heard much on that, but they do use the same sensor, I'm pretty sure the only differences between the WMO and the intellimouse is the side buttons and a slightly different shape.

avior looks nice for my hand but too bad mionix are not available at any retail shop in here to test the mouse
how about roccat kone pure military, is this mouse a good buy or not for my requirement?

I've been using roccat kone pure opticals extensively for one and a half years now and would definitely recommend them.

Went thru way to many hrs playing cs_go aswell as working with this and would personally not want to switch to any differently shaped mouse for quite a while xD

I love the shape for a claw/fingertip style grip and its definitely suitable for smaller-medium sized hands (probably not so much for huge hands)

Also I do keep my ring and pinky fingertips clawed to the very bottom mouse most of the time, and actually use them for quick accurate stopping on the mousepad aswell.

I think the kone should work pretty well for what you describe, but it all comes down to personal preference in shape!

already bought KPM and i can tell this is my favorite mouse for gaming
suitable for my medium hand and fingertip gripper
but i really hate roccat software, it took a long time to save or apply some setting   :mad:

Another vote for the Mionix Avior 7000.

I picked it for being one of the few ambidextrous mice with 9 buttons after growing to depend on them with the Razer Lachesis.

The Avior is about the same weight as the Lachesis, however it is a tad wider.

One of my favorite features of the mouse is the lack of any background processes/driver. The configuration utility is a standalone application that can be uninstalled without affecting mouse settings.

The Razer Abyssus may also be worth a look as it seems to tick all your boxes and doesn't need Synapse.

I had a CM Storm Xornet which felt alright, but it was kind of cheap and had issues with the scroll wheel so I upgraded to a SteelSeries Sensei Raw.  If you have small hands, it may be too big, but it's fine in my average hands with fingertip grip.

I love my Razer Deathadder, except for the nasty gloss on the sides that gets gross quickly.

It's great for palm grip, good for fingertip, not great for claw.

the newer deathadders have rubber sidegrips, though :-)
i have two older DA models with glossy sides and agree that they're not very nice. I would've preferred some kind of matte or rubberized coating.

with the DA, the most comfortable grip for me is a combination of claw + palm. i don't palm it very comfortably because the center part is raised up too high for my index finger.
the bigger issue for me however is that i can't really lift the thing unless i squeeze it tightly. even though it's supposed to be a "gamer mouse", it's probably my least favorite choice for FPS games because of this.
i'm not really a fan of M1 and M2 either, to be honest. the way those "trenches" more or less force you to put your fingers there..
well, maybe my hands are just too small for this mouse.. :-D

anyway, definitely not my first suggestion for something fingertippy..

The RAT 3 is pretty decent (Older models used a laser sensor :( but new models used an avago 3090!).

Kana V2 seems like it might be a good choice.

Currently using the razer abyssus 3G model but eh I did spring for a G302 and hopefully I don't dislike the shape like you do.
