Asymmetrical mouse with flat sides?

Hi everyone

Taking advantage of your expertise, I wanted to ask if you could recommend me a mouse that’s asymmetrical but has flat sides. Basically, my grip in a relaxed state is a palm grip, but in clutch situations it turns into a fingertip grip. I’ve noticed that with mice that have flat sides like the GPX, my aim is really good, but for normal everyday use, I find an asymmetrical/ergonomic mouse much more comfortable. The closest I’ve found is the Razer Basilisk, but I can still feel the mouse shift when I squeeze it due to the curvature of the sides

I wanted to know if there’s any mouse (that weighs < 90 grams) that’s ergonomic/asymmetrical but still has flat sides, meaning no curvature. Thanks in advance!

OP1 vs OP1 RGB

I wanted to buy the endgame op1 and saw that there’s an rgb variant for 35€, while the. regular one is 60€. Are there any differences between them? I don’t care about the rgb, but it’s just weird that it’s that much cheaper.

Atk X1 Pro Max vs Deluxe M800 Ultra

I want to change and I'm not sure which one to buy. I don't want to spend a lot of money and I know the m800 is cheaper, but I just want to know if I'm going to lose a lot by getting the m800 instead of the atk x1 because I know it is an excellent mouse. If anyone can help me with this I would be happy

Mouse decision help

My budget Is very tight is it worth it to get the vxe R1 pro for 20$ more than the se+? But the pro has grip tapes,skates and dongle extender so maybe the real difference is 10$ Or I can get the razor cobra lightly used for half the price of the pro Iam leaning more towards that but the shape is worrying me I have 18x9 hands with 1-3-1 relaxed claw grip

Any wireless mouse recommendations?

I have a blackweb wireless mouse which runs on batteries which is not really practical. Is there any wireless mouse that doesn’t require to run on batteries? Don’t really understand why it requires batteries if it’ll be connected via a usb

Razor orochi?

Just wanted to know before i buy one for me, what do people of this subreddit think of orochi? The one that looks like an egg. It just seems suitable in my hand, and i dont want to compromise on quality or resolder sensors or switches. Is there any alternatives i could consider in this price range? Ive been with razor for like 2 years now using deathadder, but my scroll wheel isn't working that well anymore, and I've heard it's a common problem with razors, so i thought maybe glorious have something, that might be better, and i liked the model i, but just to be sure, i need your guys opinion. Thinks in advance

Mouse recommendations?

Hello I'm right handed and mainly play fps, I currently use like a 6 yr old g703 and it finally started failing, looking to upgrade and would like to stay wireless. Any recommendations for mice in similar shape and size, maybe even a tad bigger?

Cheapest good wireless Deathadder V3 clone?

I'm currently using a Steel Series Rival 3 which feels like a kid's toy in my hand. I was out shopping today and decided to pop over to electronics and saw they had a good selection of Razer mice on display to test out. For months I've been thinking I need something like the Basilisk V3 or G502, but after handling the DAV3 I've found that my whole hand, even my ring and pinky fingers, fit perfectly on it in a relaxed palm (hybrid claw/palm?) grip. My only reservation is the price. What's the cheapest, decent, wireless DAV3 clone I can get from a website that isn't AliExpress or Temu? Both the Pulsar Xlite V3 and Glorious Model D Pro 2 are in sale for like 65/70 on Amazon, but is there anything cheaper available? And it's not too important, but I'd prefer if it isn't black or white, but white isn't a dealbreaker.

New mouse

I got the Deathadder V3 Hyperspeed yesterday and compared to my previous Mamba Elite its way smaller (10x better in everything else obviously), which I don’t mind i can get used to it BUT the shape is a bit weird, my pinky keeps sliding off and idk if adding grip stickers make it better or worse. Or should i just keep using it until i get the hang of it!

Driver detected as virus by antivirus, using Lamzu Atlantis - Is it a false positive?

Hi everyone,
I’m using the Lamzu Atlantis mini 4k mouse and I recently noticed that my antivirus is detecting the driver as a virus or malware. I’m not sure if this is a false positive or if there’s something I should be concerned about. Has anyone else experienced this issue with Lamzu drivers? Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

idk about op1w 4k

my hand size is around 19x10 and ive seen the posts that say they have this hand size and love the op1 shape but when i used a viper mini it felt too small and i only enjoy using mice where i can have full palm contact (currently using xm2 8k), but i want to use a wireless mouse, do you think it will fit my hand well?

Polling Rates on 540 hz monitor

I have the asus rog 540hz and honestly I can't tell the difference between 1k,2k,4k and 8k even on different mices like vv3 pro , gpx 2 and the sora v2. Are there people who can really tell the difference and which setting would be the optimal one for performance and battery life?

im cursed

i was on this shiiiiiit holly heavy of a tank mouse (motospeed v70) since 2019 ,back then i was a casual gamer who plays r6 from time to time and alot of single player games , until couple of months ago i visited my friend's house and played val on his pc and was blown away by his mouse (gpx superlight2) it felt like feather in my hands , and it fit my hand like a glove since i have a gigantic ogre hands and my v70 is a small one with bad shape, when i looked at its price i was like nah i cant pay for it. so my friend told me that there's Chinese budgets mouse that has same shape and cheaper and mby even better (the incott g23) , i watched YT reviews and everyone really praised it. since im still on school , ive been gathering money for it , and every single time something happen that i had to spend money , like for ex my dad travel and dont pay internet so i had to ... so what i did is cut parts from my v70 mouse and it looked like this in the pic in comment below(sorry for tainting your eyes), my mouse weight around 170 gram+ , i cut bottom part of the shell, removed the sides , the two dpi buttons as a temporary solution till i get the g23(i was also so pissed and had to unleash my anger on the mouse). i really noticed improvements in my aimlab and val performance , the flicks feels faster too. im not a hardstuck diamond player , im just nerfed by my mouse copuim.
tldr : i was one of those noobies who always said gear never matter that much, until i experienced the difference myself , i was such a dumb pleb.

Help! Can anyone identify this mouse?

I’ve had this mouse for years I believe, and today it decided that it’s lights are gonna start changing colors in a loop, I didn’t know it could do that, I’ve always had it set to a solid color, and I cannot undo this.

can anyone tell me what this mouse is and if possible how to fix.

Thanks in advance to anyone that tries to help.

Looking for a HyperX Pulsefire Haste Wireless High Quality Alternative?

So I really like how the Haste Wireless feels (including the honeycomb) but I'm getting sick and tired of having to deal with their annoying RMA system every few months. Could anyone please recommend me a very similar mouse that will last at the very least 2 years of heavy scroll wheel use?

Mouse advice

So I just upgraded my keyboard and now i'm wondering whether it's worth upgrading my mouse too. I've got a razer mamba elite wired mouse at the moment and I've got a 1-3-1 grip, my middle finger is on the scroll wheel. I play a lot of fortnite, my main concern is whether the mouse is too heavy? Is it worth upgrading and if so does anyone have any recommendations?

Been using the g pro x superlight 2 for about a year, looking for something w/ better comfort, 3/4 side buttons, and relatively light?

Hi,

Since I stopped using a g502 variant i've gone through a couple of mice, tried the razer basilisk v3 pro, g502 wireless, and the g pro x. I like the lightness of the g pro, but I don't necessarily need a mouse this light, although it would be nice to be
I find the lack of thumb rest, even a small one, to make the overall comfort worse overall as it just makes my hand sore after a while. I mostly use a claw grip, and this just about works on the g pro superlight, but i found the longer buttons on the g502 more comfortable overall, with the g pro i find i'm often moving my whole grip forwards on the mouse to feel like the back is in a natural position i'm used to, basically feel like i have to hold it the perfect way otherwise it slips and I end up in a lazy palm grip. Tl;dr, g502 shape is great, but i'd be happy with anything slightly more ergonomic than the superlight.

The lack of side buttons has also been something i still find lacking, and hard to find in an alternative that isn't super heavy, I'd like to have 3 or 4 side buttons, the g502 has a nice layout but i'm fine with any layout as long as they're easily accessible.

I was thinking about the pro 2 lightspeed, has the two extra side buttons compared to the superlight, but it's the same shape so i'm not sure if it'll be any improvement ergo wise, and is a lot to invest in a mouse that's basically a superlight with two more buttons, the razer cobra v3 (either wired or wireless) also seems relatively good, although I've personally not had the best experiences with razer software, although the basilisk is the only razer mouse i have tried recently. I've only recently come across the pulsar mice but those seem like they might suit, any advice is appreciated.

Mice I feel like might work (would prefer wireless but willing to use a wired mouse):

Pulsar: X2A, X2A eS, X2A v3 (advice on the difference between the X2a eS and X2A v3 appreciated)

Does it need replacing

I’m not familiar with lithium batterys so I was wondering because my mouse hasn’t been charging anymore I then decided to open it up and found this. I looked a bit online but still wasn’t sure so should I replace it for the mouse to work again? I’m not even sure what a regular lithium battery is supposed to look like.

Need help choosing a mouse

Currently have GPX1 since release, I have medium hands, claw/fingertip grip (but palm works for me too), and planning on getting Zowie GSR SE mousepad.

Here is what is most important for me (in order):

  1. Shape
  2. Specs
  3. Weight
  4. Build Quality

Would love it if you could also reccomend which mouse skates and grip tape to get for the mouse (if any).

*If I get the OP1 8K I will also likely to be able to get Artisan Zero FX Soft mousepad

EDIT: battery life is also important for me, I plan using the mouse @4000hz or 8000hz
