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.


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.


It is machine washable, so just toss it in the wash every so often.

They could call it a gaming condom!

But in seriousness, I use one of those basic Microsoft optical mouses. They're nothing extraordinary, but they're reliable and just plastic. If the weather is quite hot, I have to clean the mouse off every once in a while, but since they're plastic, a damp cloth does the job in like a minute.

I keep a towel by my computer anyway, to wipe my hands on between games.

I've had a MX518 for 4 years, and it has been working flawlessly the whole time except for one detail, the cord. It seems to wear down at the point where it enters the mouse, and after a year or so the mouse randomly lost connection to the computer. The solution was to open up the mouse and change the positioning of the cord inside the mouse, so it can start to wear down other points. I know other people have had the same problem. Overall I think it is a great mouse, you should try it.

I have a Logitech G9x Laser, and I love it, its the best mouse I've ever owned, and I've gone thorough 3-4 Razor models, Roccat Kone, Roccat Kova and alot of the mx models from logitech etc.

The G9x comes with two different "grips" or covers.

There are several mice with fans designed to accommodate your situation. I'm not recommending this one in particular, just showing an example:

Most logitech mice have rubber grips on the side for thumb/ring/pinky finger, but the button and palm portions are some sort of matte or polished plastic it seems, so just shop around on their site and see what you like

Really? There's only rubber on the sidebars which you can take off anyway...

It's rubberized. Like it's covered in a thin coat of rubber-like material for that matte finish and feel.

I use the Mx518 (just switched over after my G5 cord ripped) and am absolutely loving it. I find it has a great design for fitting the hand and you won't have to worry about the quality, it's more than okay for gaming, especially SC. As mentioned by an earlier poster, the mouse is completely plastic so you won't have to worry about ruining the rubber coating.

People REALLY need to stop recommending Logitech mice to this guy, they are all very small compared to most mice (and great for their intended market that is average computer users, and light-medium gamers), and he would have to place his entire palm over any Logitech mouse to hold it properly as a result 'finger-tip mouse' as someone said is not the case. You still have to rest your palm somewhere, and for the OPs case resting it on the mouse is NOT an option.
