Mouse Suggestions and Recommendations ?

[YahyaMegahed]

Hello everyone,
I want to get a new mouse for my PC,
I already have the DeathAdder Elite,
Unfortunately, it isn't comfortable to my hand,
I don't like that Razer Synapse software too,
I also need something with more features and more buttons,
I want it to be lightweight, have classic and traditional shape and design with at least 4 big thumb buttons and 4 way scroll wheel.
I don't care it's wired or wireless and don't need high end sensor (anything with 4000 dpi will be more than enough).
My hand is 21 CM long, 11 CM wide,
I have made some research but i'm waiting for your suggestions.
Thank you very much.

Unfortunately, it isn't comfortable to my hand,

This is exactly the problem with recommending HIDs (human interface devices) like mice and keyboards. Everyone has unique hands. What feels great in my hand or at the end of my fingertips may feel uncomfortable, awkward, or even painful to you.

The best anyone can give for advice is their impressions for tracking and construction/assembly quality, battery life (if wireless), warranty support, etc. How it feels is too subjective and individually personal.

You need to visit shops and electronics stores and go play touchy-feely with these devices yourself. Try to position them at the same height - in relation to your body – as they will be when at your desk. Remember display models may have been abused so some mechanical functions (buttons, wheels, keys, etc.) may not work properly.

Take a bottle of hand-sanitizer with you!

Without knowing your grip style it’s impossible to make even vague recommendations. Might also be useful to know if there were any mice previously that you found comfortable.
Obligatory EloShapes plug if you want to compare some shapes visually.

That would be for the best theoretically, but, unfortunately, most interesting/enthusiast brands straight up have no retail presence and all one can do is roll the dice with online shopping.

He could at least find a shape he prefers (and size) and compare them to models that are similar, not perfect but at least a start.

Couldn't agree more although it isn't an available option where i live.

The grip isn't definitely Palm,
More like something ranging from Claw to Fingertips, i think.
I indeed used a mouse that i found it to be very comfortable which is Gigabyte M6980X HERE !

Sadly, In many places, it is much worse than that.

Yeah, that's a problem when you have no "brick and mortar" outlets at all in your area. I note even the Best Buy in my area closed its doors. We have a Walmart here, but their choices are few and sealed in packaging. No demo models.

Friends, neighbors relatives?

I confess I have a drawer with 5 or 6, essentially brand new mice that worked beautifully but felt horrible in my paws.

I'm a bit odd in that I am right handed but use my mouse with my left hand. I switched 20+ years ago when I got carpel in my right wrist and never went back. I have NEVER liked contoured mice (shaped for a specific hand) but they are even worse for me since nearly all are shaped for the right hand. There are left handed contoured mice but the choices are very limited, none feel right to me, and the buttons are backwards. I like how right hand mouse buttons feel in my left hand. Did I mention I'm a bit odd?

I don't know who made for the mice and keyboards for Microsoft, but my favorite mouse is the Microsoft Wireless Mouse 5000. Its ambidextrous design feels equally good in either hand. It came paired with the MS Wireless Comfort Keyboard 5050 - which I love. And being a pair, they use a single dongle and thus take up just one USB port.

But Microsoft sold off mouse and keyboard production and is now partnering with Incase to make "Designed by Microsoft" keyboards and mice. I have no clue if the quality will remain the same. I hope so. That said, they do not have the combo set I like for sale - yet. Hopefully soon.

You did not say what you primarily use your mouse for. I note that MS mouse is NOT considered a gaming mouse yet I have not noticed any delays or latency issues.

These use 2 AA batteries. My MS mouse and keyboard batteries last about 5 - 6 months and I use my computer 4 - 5 hours every day. To me, that is pretty good battery life.

Some wireless mice and keyboards today use built in rechargeable batteries you recharge via USB. I am not sure I would like that. Certainly better for the environment but I went wireless so I could get rid of cables. I also don't like the idea of batteries that are not user-replaceable. But that's me.

Closest things these days would be Roccat (now Turtle Beach) Kone line (there are several of those and I think the current is the Turtle Beach Kone XP Air). Weird-ish you liked it that much since it’s definitely more of a palm shape, but everyone is different.

Sadly, In many places, it is much worse than that.

Yep, unfortunately. That’s part of why I am a pure fingertip gigachad - one can reasonably use whatever mouse with that grip decently. Less of a hassle in choosing what fits.

Check reviews, there's good options.

Casual computing and browsing along with some FPS and very little MMO, Horrible Mix...

It's on my list (the Roccat Wired Kone XP)
But i mentioned my grip Isn't Palm, more Claw.
I don't like its lighting though.

I did exactly that
But i need suggestions based on personal experiences whenever available.

Still too subjective. "You" may be able to use whatever mouse you want with that grip. That does not suggest any one else can.

Comfort is much more complex than how it feels at one's fingertips. As I noted above, it was carpel tunnel issues in my wrist that affected me. Even elbows and shoulders come into play.

Casual computing and browsing along with some FPS and very little MMO, Horrible Mix...

Not horrible. I'd say rather typical of the "normal" user. IMO, this leaves you more options to choose from.

Razer Naga and Basilisk V3 Pro are also an option. Problem is that the requirement of a 4-way scrolling wheel and 4 thumb buttons makes your options rather limited. Most current enthusiast mouse vendors are, for good or ill, focused on the FPS market, which usually goes for a simple scroll and two thumb buttons for lower weight and simplicity. Just the unfortunate reality of the current market.

 

[YahyaMegahed]

I selected the following:
Razer Naga V2 Pro and Naga Trinity.
As well as Roccat Kone XP (Wired and Wireless).
Glorious Model I2 (Not 4 Way Scroll Wheel though).
And some Redragon mice too (Budget).
But still need more suggestions or what to choose from those above.

I have had this problem all my life. I have huge, wide hands.
Here's my favorite mouse currently. It is wonderfully comfortable;

https://www.amazon.com/Redragon-M602-Ergonomic-High-Precision-Programmable/dp/B07MR2XHY2

$25
They have a Black and Wireless version as well.

I also have this one, also a Redragon;

https://www.amazon.com/Redragon-Impact-Buttons-Precision-Programmable/dp/B0C69892G8

$37
Also with Black and Wireless versions.

although it isn't an available option where i live.

The Redragon's should be available world-wide, they are worth a look.

Only the Razor Naga V2 would be in the running for me. All the rest are too small to be comfortable. But again, that's just me with my chonking huge hands.

They are and i'll probably try to check some of them at some retailer.
