I fingertip grip and like the very compact mice as a result. Despite having medium-to-large hands many of the mice mentioned in this thread seem too large for me to to fingertip comfortably. My favorite mouse so far is the Microsoft Notebook Optical Mouse 3000. It's corded, compact, very light, easily available, and works well. It's reportedly a 1000 dpi sensor. The MS Notebook Mouse IS a bit on the narrow side. I've never had trouble with Ulnar Nerve Entrapment, but that might be an issue for some. I also like the Logitech M305/M505, which are each a bit larger and wider, and might be a good option, but unfortunately they don't seem to offer corded mice with the exact same ergonomics. Those mice also lack any feature buttons on the side. (I use the MS Notebook Optical's one side button for auto-run in MMOs). My favorite "gaming high-dpi" fingertip mouse is the Razer Orochi. It's the only gaming mouse I've found that's small enough to comfortably fingertip without it hitting my palm. I'm not sure how folks fingertip bigger mice, as I don't have especially small hands. It's not (yet) my favorite mouse, as I prefer the quieter and lighter touch of the MS Notebook Mouse 3000s buttons and scroll wheel. However, if I simply had to have more than 1000 dpi, there is no question I'd be using the Orochi. As a bonus it operates either completely wired, or wireless bluetooth, so the same mouse can handle both your home wired and portable wireless needs. BTW, I came across this thread because I'm experimenting with turning off mouse-acceleration and finding that the comfortable mouse-speed settings leave me with no ability to get single pixel precision at my 2560x1600 rez. It might simply be a 'combination of mouse settings' issue, but I havn't been able to resolve it. I've also tried out the Nova Slider 600 and G9x. Both mice are far too big for me. In order to make room to fingertip-maneuver the Nova, my fingers rest back on the mouse body and the high-arch bends my wrist back and is a bit uncomfortable. The G9x is only small enough with no grip-attached, and in this state it has some unpleasant sharp edges. I also felt these larger mice are harder for me to quickly and precisely move around with just my fingers compared with my current favorite (the compact MS Notebook Optical 3000). The Nova seem pretty ideal for palm-grip users, and the G9x seems great for palm or claw grip. The Nova, by the way, excellently constructed and has some of the smoothest teflon coated surface gliders i've ever seen.

You can see the Nova is bigger and taller than a "standard" size mouse by quite a bit, and it's absolutly huge compared to the the Notebook Optical Mouse. I find the compact Notebook Optical much easier to fingertip.
