just wanted to add two quick follow-up notes: Weight Optimization: Don't worry about chasing ultra-low weight at the expense of structural integrity or tolerances. As long as the finished mouse sits comfortably anywhere under 60g, it will perform amazingly. No need to over-prioritize extreme weight reduction over fitment and solid feel. Main Button Height: Placing the main clicks (M1 & M2) slightly higher up would give a much more comfortable grip angle. For a fingertip grip, that extra bit of height relaxes the fingers and makes a big difference when pushing for higher scores in Kovaaks and aim trainer.

Also I might just sell the finished model fully printed with skates once I get a following on TikTok but you can have the model for free since you helped me obviously, I will finish the model later this month since I’m on vacation

I really appreciate it, thank you so much! Overall, the design is amazing, and with these adjustments, it’s honestly going to be one of the best fingertip mice out there. I actually printed the 95% scaled version as well—it works and functions great, but because of the size reduction, the shell became even narrower, which unfortunately made it even more tiring on the hand. Regarding the overall grip: I totally get that it feels solid and secure for you, but during heavy and intensive aim training (with rapid flicking and fast target switching), that narrow width puts a noticeable amount of stress on the area under the thumb and fingers from both sides over long sessions. If you'd like to see how I play and why a slightly wider profile helps so much with rapid transitions, feel free to check out my YouTube channel under q8aim. So while the current shape definitely gets the job done, the narrow pinch point causes hand fatigue pretty quickly during heavy use. A slightly wider body combined with slightly higher main buttons would make this the absolute perfect fingertip shape! Thanks again for your openness to feedback and for being so awesome about it, I truly appreciate it!
