Hey there people in TL. I know some of you may be going 'oh man... not another mouse topic...!', but hear me out first.

I have palmar hyperhidrosis. My palms sweat regardless of whether I'm playing games or not but of course it gets worse while I'm playing.

I'm looking for a reasonably priced gaming mouse that's good enough for playing RTS which DOESN'T have rubber coating on it. Had a Razer Krait and the rubber coating wore off just after a few months of use. =(

I'll appreciate any advice and suggestions. Thanks!

eh rubber coating? Looking at my mx518, I don't think it has rubber coating on the palm portions, i believe it's brushed aluminum or something....also probably wrong section as well.

I used to actually have a mouse with a fan inside it, but it only lasted about 1 year, although it WAS only 15 bucks. They still make some from what I can see, try searching your nearest electronics super-outlet, or look online at the larger electronics suppliers.

Razer Salmosa's are pretty solid. I don't have your sweating condition but i never could get a solid grip on Krait's either.

The mx518 is great for sweaty hands. The only problem is that the red circles are where crap starts to build up after a while if your palms profusely sweat like mine do. It's easy to remove, but it's crusty and stuff.

You can use some razors with handgrip like diamondback.

what kind of deformed freaky hands do u have where ur palms would be touching the far end of the mouse, where most normal non-gorilla people would have their fingertips?

I use Microsoft Explorer 3.0 It's a great mouse. There is a thin coat of rubber where you have your thumb but it doesn't really matter. Also, it has a reasonable price.

There is the Razer Lachesis too that's made of a strange material, I suppose to reduce sweat but I'm not shure about that :D

The palm is where the sweat is coming from, but since the shape of a mouse has the palm raised from the fingertips, the sweat will collect at the ends of your fingertips, being one of the lowest points of your hand.

Hmmm I've seen the MX518 around but not sure of its quality. It sucks to have sweaty palms. My laptop's keyboard have a layer of... gee.. i don't know what it is.. =.= but anyway thanks for the tip so far guys. I'll have a look at the MX518.

The Logitech Mx518 as suggested if you insist on being tethered to a wire. The logitech G7 otherwise. It is a great finger tip mouse, especially if you have sweaty palms. It also is extremely accurate and responsive. Before any ill informed trolls bother, the wireless "Lag" that gamers hated disappeared years ago. I am a competitive FPS player, I above all should notice this if it existed anymore. Hot swappable batteries make this an even bigger win, no stupid AA batteries to deal with.

Also something you may want to consider. I have a friend who does this and has the same issue.
Glove A friend of mine uses one of these and keeps an absorbent pad in the palm. He removed all the supports out of it, since he wasn't using it for bowling. It does a great job of keeping your hand drier and your mouse cleaner. It has the added benefit of making your clicking more precise since your fingers aren't subject to sweat slipping. It doesn't have to be this specific one, it is more of the style then anything.

As for your recent quality concern..Logitech quality is generally pretty much tops. If nothing else it is far more quality then what Razer puts out.

Microsoft Basic Optical Mouse

On a serious note, a lot of Microsoft Mice are fully plastic.

My only concern for using gloves is that it'll stink after a while. But it is something that I'll consider. That's a very informative post there! Thanks a lot.

Razer Krait is plastic, but when I sweat on it a lot it starts smelling like banana for some reason. It's not an unpleasant scent and I find myself sniffing my mouse in times of boredom.
