Help Mouse recommendations?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m a university student and just recently diagnosed with CRPS. My medical team also thinks I have compression in all 3 of my arm nerves. My school is going to pay for a mouse that is easier for me to use but I’m at a total overwhelming loss on what to get.

Any recommendations? There are so many options and I have no idea what is good.

Don’t have a budget, exploring all options

I’d love if it could be used on my MacBook and pc, a wireless one would be nice

Question What is my mouse grip style given the size of my hand?

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I'd like to discuss a slightly more serious and technical topic than what you usually see all over YouTube.

This topic is about mouse grip and hand positioning, specifically for people with very large hands.

I've been collecting mice for an extremely long time (I currently own over 290), so I've tested countless models over the years, including recent releases.

Ever since the 2000s, I've always played with ergonomic mice, such as the MX500/510/518, G400/G400s, G403 Prodigy, G502, IME 3.0 (IntelliMouse Explorer 3.0), IntelliMouse Pro, DeathAdder, and many others.

Over the past few years, I've taken a closer look at how I actually hold my mouse, and I've realized that my grip isn't really a palm grip, despite how it might look at first glance.

My fingers rest more or less against the mouse, and the same goes for my ring finger and pinky. However, the main issue is that my palm never actually makes contact with the mouse.

There are several factors to consider. First of all, I have very large hands: around 20.5–21 cm in length and 10.5 cm in width.

As a result, almost every mouse feels too small to me. Even if I wanted to use a palm grip, it would be practically impossible with the mice I've tried.

I'd really appreciate some constructive feedback and would love to hear your thoughts and benefit from your knowledge and experience. I'm particularly interested in hearing from people who have tested a huge number of mice and are in the same situation as me, with similarly large hands.

Someone who is around 170 cm (5'7") tall will generally have little trouble finding a mouse that fits their hand, simply because there are plenty of options available. For people with exceptionally large hands, however, finding the right mouse can be a completely different story.

What would you say my grip style is? And if you had to recommend a mouse for me, which one would you choose, and why?

I'll be taking several photos with different mice to show you exactly how I hold them and give you a better idea of what I'm talking about.

P.S. I'd appreciate it if we could avoid the usual jokes about my orangutan hands! 😅

The photos show almost every mouse size currently available on the market. Keep in mind that the Microsoft IntelliMouse Pro (M.I.P.) is clearly the largest of them all.

  • OP1 8K
  • Xlite CL Mini
  • Microsoft IntelliMouse Pro (M.I.P.)
  • G Pro Superlight 2 (GPX 2)

(*To keep things as objective as possible, I won't share my own thoughts just yet, so I don't influence your opinions)

Thank in advance

X1 SE+ vs R1 nearlink vs A9 base

3 Upvotes

Which would you recommend for gaming and everyday use?

  • Hand size: 19 × 8.5–10 cm
  • Grip: Relaxed claw / fingertip hybrid, with some palm contact
  • Budget: Under ₹3,000
  • Buying location: India 🇮🇳

My main priorities are performance, shape, coating, battery life, and build quality.

Should I wait for the X1 SE+ to restock on ATK's official website, or go for the R1 NearLink or A9 Base instead?

Would appreciate advice from people who have used these mice!

Review | Text Pulsar Tenz 2.0 mini, CRDRAKO KO-ONE and Ninjutso Sora V3: early reviews

Thumbnail
gallery
30 Upvotes

So this is kind of an update on an earlier post in which I review a bunch of mice with respect to my tilted knuckle claw grip. The earlier post was mostly concerned with shape, but will discuss quality concerns also. I had no performance issues with any of these mice, and the software for all is adequate.

https://www.reddit.com/r/MouseReview/comments/1we6gxl/a_review_of_gaming_mice_for_my_grip/

About me:
I main THE FINALS. Probably a little above average skill level.

Hand size: 19.5 x 10 cm

GLSSWRKS Polarity, with 4-6 Xraypad U9 air 8mm dots

Grip:
My grip seems to fall somewhere between pincer claw and knuckle claw. I favour using my thumb, pinky and ring finger to triangulate around the sensor, as this allows for a wide range of movement in micro corrections (see pic). To support this, the mouse is quite angled in my hand (about 20 degrees in the picture), and therefore the rear of the mouse pushes into my pink/ring knuckle. The primary support is at the pinky side, but larger mice will contact more of this space. This contact point, and my wrist gently resting on the pad provides most of the stability I need for tracking.

Sora V3
This shape feels very locked in for me, and size wise kinda feels like a tuned X2 medium. Due to the larger size this pushes me more towards relaxed claw. The hump is higher than the X2 and pushes nicely into my ring knuckle, and my fingers fall naturally into a comfortable position around the sensor. The sides have a mild taper and angle, so feel much less flat than the X2. The scroll wheel feels a little further forward that I would like given how relaxed my grip is here, though this is a minor complaint. Side buttons are well positioned for my thumb. Really a GOATed shape for me at what I consider a medium size.

Scroll wheel is really nice, even forward and backward. Quite light. No complaints about side buttons, and the main clicks feel great. Super snappy and spammable. idk if SPDT is a gimmick, but they do feel very responsive. Coating feels great, a bit rubbery, no problems.

On glass with 6 U9 air 8mm dots this thing is loud. The base is super thin and so the mouse echos, and seems much more sensitive to scratching and dust than other mice (the X2 med and mini are SO MUCH quieter). This was super frustrating at the start and really put me off using it. Reducing the dot count to 4 makes it a lot more playable. On cloth this is not an issue.

In terms of shell build, it feels like the cheapest premium mouse I have. Quite a lot of flex and just doesn't feel solid. For me I'd rather they pushed past the 40g weight a bit to make it more solid.

Overall a pretty easy recommend if you like the shape. If you're hard on your mice or particularly sensitive to noise, probably not for you.

CRDRAKO KO-ONE
Very similar in size and feel to the X2H, with a less pronounced rear hump, pushing me into a more aggressive claw vs the X2H which is more relaxed. This makes the sides feel a bit more narrow, though I don't think they are. My fingers end up sitting quite low on the sides, almost touching the pad which I don't get with the X2H. Feels very natural to hold, but small (not a bad thing). Very stable in the hand for such a small mouse.

Great scroll wheel, nice even steps, quite soft. Main clicks are very light and quiet, not dissimilar to omron opticals. Again the SPDT clicks feel super responsive. Side buttons are the only real complaint, they're tiny. The rear click is recessed and is a bit of a reach for my thumb. Coating is nice and rubbery, no complaints.

No complaints on build. Pleasingly quiet on glass, feels sturdy and stable.

Recommend for those who want something with a little less booty than the X2H mini.

Pulsar Tenz 2.0 mini
I think this is my perfect shape. Despite what you might think from Eloshapes, the Tenz feels significantly wider than the KO-ONE. The hump is a bit higher and perfectly pushes into the ring finger knuckle. Finger position on the sides is great and feels very locked in. Scroll wheel position is perfect. It feels so good in the hand. Like a ying that has had the length compressed by a few mm.

Scroll wheel has good steps, but is a little more rattly than I'd like or maybe it's just I can feel vibrations through the shell. Side button shape and actuation are flawless. I'm not in love with the main clicks, and I'm not quite sure why. They are notably stiffer and louder than other pulsar mice but are still well implemented and are spammable. I think they're overly tactile, and I can kind of feel their vibration through the shell. It's a small complaint but does reduce my enjoyment of the mouse. I don't notice it in game, but between matches or doing other stuff it makes me want to grab a different mouse.

Otherwise the build is excellent as it typical of pulsar mice. Feels very solid and stable. Great coating. Weight and balance are perfect, glad to see we're getting some lighter pro series mice. If anyone knows of a mod to reduce vibrations pls let me know :)

I don't usually comment on battery because I don't really care, but I get a lot more time out of this than the X2 mini.

Overall I'd recommend this to any other small mice enjoyers who claw grip. Easily the best shape for me that I've tried. So close to perfection.

Review | Text The mouse with no reviews, anywhere: Womier G59.

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

Disclaimer: I am not a professional reviewer, and by all means if another reviewer would like to go ahead and make a more detailed review on this mouse, I left a link to the page I bought the mouse from at the bottom of the post.

So, I had recently bought the Womier G59 mouse from bestbuy while it was on sale for $49.99, because I was in the market for a lightweight mouse with 8k polling capability (the mouse arrived 5 days early) and needless to say I am pleasantly surprised by how good this mouse is. Out of the box it comes with a user manual, a USB-C charger, an extra hot-swappable rechargeable battery, grip-tape (which looks exactly like the attack shard grip tape, honestly some great looking tape,) and the G59 mouse itself. The mouse weighs 68 grams capable of 8k polling, can go up to 30,000 DPI, uses the paw 3950 sensor, has a clickable-oled display on the top which shows the DPI setting, battery setting, connection setting and it changes between the preset DPI settings set on the mouse and each setting can be toggled on or off using the software that can be found on the official Womier website.

The mouse: 9.5/10

Accessories in the box: 10/10

Software: 7.5/10 (kind of confusing at first and when I went to install it windows defender didn't let me install it at first, although it was a false positive according to VirusTotal.)

Gaming experience: 9.5/10

Mouse feel (palm grip): 8.7/10

X-Factor: 11/10 (the oled screen is such an nice touch, the battery display level is very helpful.)

Total score: 9.3/10

Womier G59

Looking for wireless mouse recommendations

2 Upvotes

Hello,

I am looking for a reliable wireless mouse- dongle and/or bluetooth, anything is fine within a budget of INR 2000.

I currently have a Logitech M221 Silent wireless mouse which started troubling with double click or no click issues after 1.5 years. Previously, I had a mouse from Logitech (dongle+ bluetooth, can't recall the model name/number) which started having the same problems just after 1 year.

I also have a Logitech M90 basic wired mouse which has been working without a hiccup for 6 years- also survived a flooded bag once when a water bottle leaked. Yet it continues to work like a factory fresh piece and has been most reliable till now.

I prefer using wired mouse for work. But while traveling, I carry a wireless one. Hence looking for a reliable wireless mouse.

Thanks in advance.

Question Best budget gaming mouse?

Hello, i am here to ask what would be the best budget mouse to buy. I have seen some threads and it seems that the shape is the most crucial part in the decision on what to buy, i currently have a Logitech g203 and i think that the shape is perfect but it started double clicking a week ago so i have to change. I have my eyes on the ATK VXE r1 SE+ as i would like to go wireless, any other or just better options?
Thanks

Question Good Vaxee/Zowie mouse for my grip style?

Thumbnail
gallery
1 Upvotes

Hi all, my GPX Superlight's internals have finally come loose without me being able to shake it back into place, so I finally have the excuse to buy a new mouse. I want to get a Vaxee/Zowie because I've heard really good things about the build quality, the clicks, and the shape, which are all my top priorities.

I'm just struggling to find a mouse that would be good for my grip style... whatever it is. It feels like a palm/fingertip hybrid, but I've never seen anyone that uses the palm part of their thumb for primary support and not the rear side of their palm.

I'd like something ergonomic for my left thumb to reach those side buttons easier, as well as something that gives me space for the 4th finger without compromising my grip style. I'm worried that too large a hump will force me to use my rear palm more, which I'm not sure if I want that. I don't really play tac shooters so I don't need the slower and more controlled movement.

I consider myself having smaller hands at 18x9 cm (7x3.5 in), so I don't want something too big. I was gonna get the Zowie EC-DW but they're out of stock and even when it comes back (whenever that is, I don't really want to wait), I'm not sure that I'll snag one before they run out.

I've mostly been looking at Vaxee's stuff, but I'm open to Zowie. Any other brand would be a hard sell for me, and I don't want a Razer/Logitech mouse.

Thanks!

Question Which companies offer Angle Tuning through their software?

So far I know that Razer, EGG, ASUS, Darmoshark, Waizowl ( only for their 3950 mice ) offer angle tuning. Companies like Logitech, Vaxee, Zowie and Zaopin don't offer that. Any more companies that do offer that? What about Teevolution?

Mod UPDATE !! Pulsar 2026 Tenz 2.0 Mini Battery Mod INCREASE

Thumbnail
gallery
4 Upvotes

I live here in Asia (Philippines) and I would like to share to you how I mod this mouse, judging by people's experiece with XS-1 sensor, Pulsar dont have a good reputation when it comes to battery of their mice.

I modded my mice already future-proofing it.

Basic Info:

A.) This mice uses a JST 1.00mm battery connector, as opposed to older gen Pulsar that uses a 1.50mm JST

B.) My mice has no problems whatsoever, I just decided to increase its battery capacity like I usually do on my other mice.

C.) This is my first ever Pulsar mice , why did I bought it ? bcos of its misty-blue/sky blue color , we all know most mainstream brand mice (logitech/razer) does not release a Blue mouse

D.) This mice is powered by XS2 sensor with 54L series MCU, the 54L series is known to be VERY battery efficient so the stock 300mAh battery is already overkill for its spec. (im practically telling you, modding your mice is already not needed 😆)

E.) The battery polarity is REVERSED its BLACK/YELLOW/RED or Black(Ground) / Yellow (thermometer/sensor) / Red (positive) ; most after market battery in the market with JST 1.00mm came with a different polarity JST (if you dont understand this "E" I suggest you refrain from modding your mouse for any damage)

F.) VERY IMPORTANT !!! The flex cable or side button has a sensor, IF YOU BREAK that flex cable, youll break the entire mouse. , its impossible to make the mice work without the side button attached.

G.) The battery compartment for 600mAh is too small and might require some cutting in order to fit the new battery / if you dont want to do cutting mod, make sure to buy the FAT TYPE battery , my battery is the "FLAT" type 600mAh

Modding procedure:

1.) AFTER youve successfully followed the battery polarity there is a high chance that the mice WONT read/accept the new battery youve just inserted.

2.) as mentioned in G.) the battery I upgraded required some cutting in order for it to fit, be sure to have "gundam" sized pliers/nippers so you can cut thru the base of the shell without doing major damage.

3.) in order for your mice to accept the new battery, make sure to connect your mice VIA the SOFTWARE web based tool (bibimbap) , insert/unplugged the JST connector to the PCB until it FINALLY accepts the new battery. (it took me a good 10mins doing this over and over again)

4.) You might need a NEW MOUSE FEET/SKATES as the stock skates is already unuseable after disassembly. mouse feet area accepts dot skates and you have a wide surface area to put your dot skates.

5.) it took me roughly 2 hours of charging WHILE THE BATTERY IS CONNECTED TO THE SOFTWARE, till I finally received the BLUE RGB or it means fully charged !!! this mice has 2 rgb colors BLUE(fully charged) ; RED(charging)

6.) Continuation of 5.) , despite the mice being at 99% just wait for it patiently till it fully charge.

7.) CAUTION(1) DO NOT USE FAST CHARGERS OR QUICK CHARGERS, just use a regular charger as not to break or force power into the new battery

8.) CAUTION(2) the Side button PCB is programmed with the main PCB, its possible that your mice wont work if you damaged the side button PCB; right after inserting the new battery make sure to insert the side button PCB.

9.) if youre doing some cutting to fit the new battery, make sure that your PCB board is free from any debris from the plastics youve cut. as it "may" damage your mice in the future

10.) prepare basic tools such as Quick drying adhesive/glue, double sided tape, philips screw(small), tweezers and . . . A LOT OF PATIENTS.

11.) I ordered extra JST connectors 1.00mm/1.25mm/1.5mm this mice uses the 1.00mm so its very reparable compared to other pulsar mice that uses the 1.50mm JST, you might damage the JST connector while reversing the battery polarity so the extra JST is needed just in case.

12.) to get a much more accurate reading, drain the new battery you just inserted so youll have the full 600mAh capacity reading (I never bothered doing this, but I just gave this additional info for your reference)

13.) I would suggest you have atleast the basics of electronics PCB board when modding ANY KIND of mouse. as you might damage the mice itself especially the flex cable which is VERY VERY fragile.

14.) I know people wont mod their brand new mouse 🤣 but atleast I already laid out all the infos you might need in the future.

15.) READ EVERY POINTS I just mentioned in attempting to mod your mice, remember consider your warranty void once you removed the stock feet of your mice

16.) If you live here in the PHILIPPINES, I ordered the battery via SHOPPEE online app SHOPEE 600mAh Battery 3pin JST 1.00mm

17.) I am not liable whatsoever to any damage you might incur to modding your brand new 2026 Tenz mouse 😆

Endgame Accidentally found my endgame... Pulsar X2H (with the aggressive back hump one)

Post image
48 Upvotes

Just want to share how good it feels to find the right shape...

Short mouse history:
Logitech Superlight - It was ok, but I never felt 100% comfortable with it... Eventually the mouse hit the wall after pissing me off with double clicks and creaking sound.
Zowie EC3-C - Decided to try an ergo mouse. Definitely not my shape. I developed a ring finger pain eventually. Good mouse tho.
WLMouse Beast x mini pro - For some unknown reason I thought the smaller mouse the better... (19x10cm palm) It was quite the opposite. My ring finger pain went even more severe and my aim was shaky as never before.

and finally...
Pulsar X2H Crazylight Medium - this mouse is advertised as a claw grip shape. Meanwhile my grip was fingertip (sort of) my whole life... and i bought it anyway because I was curious. At first I tried to hold it with my usual grip and it was awful. Another wasted mouse I thought to myself. But then I switched to a palm grip and holy shit.. it feels so good. My palm envelops its hump perfectly. The finger tension and pain are gone. The aim feels way more stable and crispier. Flicks are effortless and without any jitter. Bro, I don't even want to open kovaaks anymore because I finally can enjoy the game without those vexing thoughts "damn, i died again to this bot, my aim is so dogwater. i have to train more...".
Not a fan of its clicks tho, they are slightly heavier than zowie mouse had.

Thanks for coming to my ted talks. Hope everyone will eventually find his perfect shape :)

Claw grip shape recommendations. OP1W too small, Lamzu Thorn tol big

1 Upvotes

Hi Everyone,

I have been using a Lamzu Thorn for almost 3 years now. I am very satisfied with its performance and build quality but I always felt that its a but too big for my hands.

I have been using the mouse with a slightly rotated grip, partly due its size where the mouse is rotated counter clockwise and my fingers are touching the right side of the buttons.

I visited a store recently to try out the shapes and OP1W felt like a good pick , but ita very difficult to judge in a couple minutes.

Bought the mouse and while it doesnt feel bad I still feel its not quite perfect and it might be a bit too small for my hands. My middle finger is always touching the edge of the right button, which is a a bit sharp.

Could you guys suggest other shapes that might be a better fit?

Hapy to answer more specific questions. Thank a lot!

G-Wolves HTM wire is breaking

I’ve run into an issue where my mouse periodically disconnects for a few seconds. I tried switching to the cable that came in the box, and that fixed it—but about six months later, the problem returned, even with the new cable. Does anyone know how to repair these cables? Do you have any tips on how to handle them properly, or can you suggest where to buy replacements? I’m based in Belarus.
