You said that the Kinzu is "heavy" and want to buy the Razer Abyssus? That's strange because:

Kinzu : ~ 200g
Abyssus: ~390g

just ordered kinzu as one of the smallest gaming decent mice i could fine. hope it turns to be ok with my hand. My current mouse Sidewinder X5 is a joke it self. its kinda huge and u must have BUSTAH RHYMES fingers to fully cover the right left click buttons. The only good thing is its surface underneith it slides perfectly even without mousepad ( dont use one ).

@GERRRR

kinzu doesn't slide as well maybe its the weight or the glides not too sure.
Might be the design where the front 2 clicks design of the mouse go all the way down like a semi circle whereas logitech g1 mouses i used before didn't and was easier to hold a claw grip. Not too sure if i'm explaining myself clearly. So thats why i wanted to know how the abyssus compared to the kinzu because i know they are similar size. I need a new mouse ><

hey guys i am now using razer abyssus but i don't really like it. It is made poorly, not that accurate and has quite a lot of jittering. What is the best claw grip mouse at the moment? Maybe anyone can compare other claw grip to abyssus so maybe it's not worth for me to change mouse.

At the moment I am looking at G9x logitech, anyone compared it to abyssus?

How long have you had your Abyssus? I just got mine a few days ago and at first had the same reaction, but having played ~30 games with it plus random internet browsing am beginning to love it.

Can't really help you with comparisons as the Abyssus is my first gaming mouse, but just thought I'd see how long you've had it and whether or not you're given it a "breaking in" period.

Also, what do you mean it's made poorly?

Razer Abyssus for RTS, Razer Deathadder for FPS.

The Abyssus weighs about 71g, the Kinzu 77g. Your numbers are weird.

I've been on a journey for the past 9 months to find the perfect SC2 mouse. I've experimented with the mice below. Here are my findings:

(For context, I have relatively big hands with long fingers, however I don't necessarily prefer big mice. I'm a pseudo-fingertip gripper. Shape and weight are bigger issues for me. If too heavy or shape is too weird, I get wrist pain.)

Steelseries Xai
Good tracking. Great shape. Left/right clicks are stiffer than I prefer. Relatively heavy.

Razer Deathadder
Good tracking. Kinda big and the shape generally feels weird to me (I'm not big on ergo mice). Buttons feel good. Relatively heavy. Overall not good enough for me to use regularly.

Razer Abyssus
Ok tracking. Shape is pretty good, although that little ridge that angles up on the side of the left/right buttons really annoys me. You're stuck with only three DPI markers, although 1800 serves me well. Very lightweight, which I love. I'm currently using this mouse due to acceptable tracking, simple shape, and the light weight. I also just bought a Salmosa on ebay to see how it compares.

Zowie Mico
Way too small. Buttons hard to click. Tracking mediocre. Not a fan of this one.

Logitech G9X
Unique shape but I actually like it. Good customization. Good tracking. Only issue is the weight. Too heavy for me. My wrists get very sore after a long laddering session with this one.

MS Intellimouse 3.0
Ok weight and shape, but DPI way too low. This one is just not an option if you have a high screen resolution and want to play SC2 at a competitive level.

Depends on how big your hands are. You want to end up finding a mouse that's comfortable for your hands.

What mouse is best for you is highly dependent on your personal preferences. Here are a few things to consider (from my experience):

1.) How do I hold my mouse? Claw grip, palm grip, fingertip grip, etc.

2) How heavy to I want my mouse? For me, I don't like particularly heavy mice but I do like a mouse that I know is there.

3.) How many buttons do I want? I originally had an abyssus (3 buttons), but soon decided I wanted more.

My experience with mice:

-Steelseries Kinzu: Good mouse, liked it a lot. Very small and lightweight. Eventually returned it because it stopped working, and got...

-Razer Abyssus: Second favorite mouse I've ever owned. Pretty comparable to the Kinzu, I think, except of course for its shape. Found it very good for RTS's.

-Razer Spectre: Terrible mouse. Terrible shape, tracking was wonky, and just felt awful and cheap. Got it for free with my keyboard, probably going to sell it soon.

-Razer Imperator 2012: Love it. It's the mouse I'm using currently, has 7 buttons that are completely customizable and everything. Is a bit pricey for you though (it's ~75-80 USD).

Those are my thoughts, hope they helped!

MMA uses it.

I don't know how good it is but it definetly sounds like a preference thing. If you have sweaty hands or not.

I like using the logitech g9x without any of the grips. Nice and small, like using a precise instrument. I don't like the bigger ones.

Pick the DeathAdder, it is the most comfortable mouse in my opinion.

Hum, I would like to know how good is the shape of razer mouses?
I used to have a dell mouse with more or less the same shape, and it was awful :o

I went for a continental edison fragz as it was so cheap (20€), and I like it much better than my brother logitech g5 v2.

So, to anyone looking for a cheap good gaming mouse, if you can find it, it's good.
