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! | ||

![[image loading]](http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/153/fdsaq.jpg) 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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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

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.

That's a very informative post there! Thanks a lot. | ||

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'm currently using a death adder, and the hand-rest isn't plastic. It honestly feels like a small rubber coat on the top. I'll try finding information on it. EDIT: http://www.amazon.com/Razer-DeathAdder-Gaming-Mouse-Left/dp/B003BIFI6E According to Amazon, it has a rubber coating on the top. The sides are still plastic, though. Hope that helps | ||

You still have to rest your palm somewhere, and for the OPs case resting it on the mouse is NOT an option. There is so much FUD in this post it is almost comical. Seriously, the guy asked for good information of a serious condition. Don't go around posting bs like this in the future, thanks. | ||

There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti Back to the real story....um, this is pretty interesting. I don't know about the mouse with the vents..that may just spread the sweat everywhere else, OR even get in there (somehow). I believe the glove idea is your best bet (and most convenient). | ||
