Im looking for a good mouse to upgrade to. I have an old logitech G500 which is great, but I prefer a claw grip vs the palm grip it has.. (trying to sell the mouse on craigslist too if anyone interested).

What do you guys recommend?

I personally use a Razer Orochi, but the cord is short so it depends on where your USB is.

Logitech g9x can be small if you adjust its size, and I think is a great mouse.

I've always used an MX-518/G400 (basically the updated version). I'm happy with them and have always used a claw grip. Best bet though might be to get down to a shop and see if they have any on display so you can see what you prefer.

Edit: just looked up the G500 and it's pretty much the same shape.

I tried out the g9x at the store seemed a better fit (but no way to try out the different grips it comes with).

But its good to ask, because issues like short cords that Cycle mentioned you cant really tell in store.


Oh i checked out the Orichi, but its Bluetooth which i don't have.. also Isn't wireless (bluetooth especially) have slower response time than wired?

I personally use the Razer Abyssus and I love it. It's got a lower price point; I got it on sale for $30 on Newegg, half the price of the Deathadder. I'd get the black edition, the mirror edition products by Razer get dirty so quickly. The Deathadder is another good option, so is the Cyborg RAT. I suggest doing some research on google. There's plenty of options out there.

If you're worried about short cords you can never go wrong with Razer. Their cords are CRAZY long, I can walk to the other side of my room with my headset plugged in.

I have a g9x with the fat grip. Not 100% sure if I use a claw grip, but the heel of my hand wrests on my desk and my fingers do all the work.

I really like the g9x, especially the customizable weight. I use a really high DPI setting so I like a heavy mouse.

cm spawn mouse is the best claw grip mouse on the market. not a personal pref its statistically the best mouse specs wise

g9x uses the 9500 sensor which has acceleration

Do you mean you can't turn of acceleration? Its hardwired in the mouse??? that would suck

I think any mouse that is smaller than your hand would be claw grip? so maybe G9x?



i got a question regarding mousepads, So recently i just put in the order for a logitech gx9 but i have no idea what is the best mouse pad for a mouse like that.

any of you guys can recommend me a good pad that is preferably cheap?

I turned off mouse acceleration in windows and there was a considerable change in how my cursor behaved. I don't know whether or not there is still acceleration, but there is certainly a lot less.

I play claw grip (almost finger tip) style as well. Until recently I had the Razer Salmosa (really good, ideal smaller size and technically fine).

Some weeks ago I had to get a new one, this time it's a Razer Abyssus. It's slightly bigger, but still fine for claw grip and smaller hands, reaction and technical details obviously fine as well. Also it was available in "mirror" edition, this is, there's not this disgusting anti-slip cover on the buttons. It's pretty good, I can recommend it so far.
Mutation complete.

I used the logitech 510/518 + G5 for a long time, with a palm grip. I wanted to switch to a claw grip, as I was finding a palm grip felt less accurate.

I picked up an abyssus and love it. Really well shaped for claw grip. However, I should note that I have quite small hands for a dude. It might be less comfortable for a larger hand. With a small hand, the butt of the mouse is not quite touching my palm with a full, almost 90deg. curl to my fingers, with finger tips about an inch from the front of the mouse.
