I want to buy a gaming mouse, I've done a little research but not sure what I should get. I mainly have a fingertip grip that I hybridize between claw and palm sometimes and I have large hands. Currently use a Logitech MX Performance and find it pretty comfortable. I tried a SteelSeries Rival and found it kind of too short in terms of height, not sure if I should stick with it and try to adapt or try and find something bigger. I've done some research during the past week and the only other options that seem fitting for me are the Mionix Naos 7000 and the Roccat XTD Optical (which should be available eventually in my area). I want a more gaming orientated mouse, I like the shape and size of my current mouse and I would like something similar in size, preferably with an optical sensor. Looking for something with a few extra buttons but not a lot of extra ones that I won't end up using.
Towards what does the balance tip? More claw or more palm? I've used the Avior 7000 for many years. It's not palm, it's intellimouse, so I can see the appeal of the Naos 7000 with the 3310.
I just bought the G403 and hesitated between that and the G900. Wireless or not, pure in terms of shape: I like the shape of the G403. I can comfortably rest my palm on it. But I can also claw grip it when I want. In FPS, I'm always tense, so I revert to claw grip or sometimes even fingertip. When I'm more relaxed such as browsing, I use palm grip.
I put the sensor first and then try to find a comfortable shell around it. Now that the 3366 is out and it's also (near) flawless, I prioritized the 3366 first and that left me with the G502, G403, G Pro, and the G900.
I also have large hands, I also play the piano. The G900 fits my hand even better, but I wasn't ready yet to pay the hefty price. But the G900 is the perfect shape for my hands.
Finally, somethings that many people overlook or not are aware of: where do you place your pinky? The reason I prefer the G900 (and avior 7000) shape for claw / fingertip over the G403, is that my pinky is more relaxed. The angle of my pinky is less "bent" let's say than on the G403.
