Best palm grip mouse I've ever used - Logitech G500, I bought mine in 2009 and the wire is making the mouse malfunction on and off in the last few weeks. :(

Prior to the Logitech G500, I had the G5 and before that the MX518 and MX510, all the same shape, very comfy for gaming in palm grip.

I'm not sure what I'm going to buy next, I did try the G502, but it's not very suited for palm grip even with my small piano hands. I might try the Razer Basilisk V3, although I've read the scroll wheel stops working properly eventually . . . design flaw?

just cut 4 inches from the wire (the end which attaches to the mouse) and solder it back. I did this to my G400 a few years back. still works. Best mouse ever.

I use my G400 in clawgrip though. Since my palm is quite big lol.

Open the mouse, and replace the full cable with another usb cable from other mouse, usually mouse USB cables uses a standard connector. my G400 had the same issue and replaced with a cable from a $5 logitech mouse

I have this too. It's very utilitarian and the sensor is accurate enough for my work but the spread of the side buttons feels a bit, maybe 20% too big for my thumb. Usually rests between the front portion of the rest pad, the spaces between 4-5-7-8. Would be nice if the button circle was choked forward a little more and shrunk a good 25% or something. Otherwise super comfy.

the king of kings for me is the Logitech G303 (old version they don't make anymore) and having a unique grip on it, basically I hold it by the end of the glossy end in a hybrid palm grip still (makes me super accurate in games) the new 303 is junk imo, without that glossy tail end it just doesn't work for the unique way I hold it. luckily my g303 is in a ziploc bag and I take very good care of it :D

I know many will hate on this, but I can not live without my Razer Naga, and my sister feels the same way. We both use Naga 90% of the time. It takes about 6 months to master the side buttons, after many many years of having 12 side buttons, I am super fast in any game now, especially MMO's. The great thing about the Naga, if you never have to use the software, it sees the 12 keys as a number row automatically, and the DPI changes on the top buttons also are to my liking. So, I never bother installing that bloatware.

Runner up for me is the Microsoft Sidewinder mouse, I used it for many years before giving it to my mom, she still uses it and it works perfect... guess they just don't make'em like they used to.

a third place winner for me is a mouse I don't own, but wish I did (they don't make it anymore) the WoW Cata mouse, I tried it once in store many years ago, and it fit my hand perfectly

Logitech M705 for me. The original one, not the current version. For the money....battery life for years, hyper scroll, THUMB BUTTON! I was SO happy with that mouse. Currently using the Marathon M720, it's successor and it's also a great mouse, but the price point is also different.
