I am looking for a new Claw-type mouse.
My Problem with this is, that my Hand is really big, like 18-20cm (and still growing TT), so a lot of the standart Claw-type mice are just too small. Additionally I decided to use 2 Side-Buttons for control groups, when I started playing Sc2 and i just cannot get away from it, as much I try to. For comparison I am using the CMStorm Spawn at the Moment, which results after 2+ hours in pain in my hand.
To date I tested a lot of hybrid mouses (Tesoro Shrike, Roccat Savu, Steelseries Sensei, Razer Imperator) and they did not fit good either.

Summed up:

- Claw-type mouse
- ~1600-2000 dpi possible
- 2 easy to reach Sidebuttons
- fitting my big hand

Looking forward to some help

You should have asked in the mouse thread.

I really like the new Logitech G402. When used with claw grip or finger tip grip, those weird extra buttons it has don't get in the way for me (my hand is 19.5 cm from base to tip of the middle finger).

I typically use the mouse with some sort of mix between finger tip and claw grip with the ring finger positioned on its right side, but it's also wide enough to have ring finger on top. I use it at 800 dpi and lift and reposition the mouse a lot when playing games. Its very good for that as the way the sides are shaped I can lift it effortlessly without having to tighten up my grip. I think that might be why it's great for me with regards to pain.

The two main mouse buttons have a light click which I like a lot. With "light" I mean they are perhaps a bit like what you know from the Spawn (but I don't really remember, tried it a pretty long time ago). The mouse wheel's scroll steps feel great but the click is super hard. The extra buttons of the mouse are pretty mushy before the point of where they click, don't have short and crisp travel like the two main buttons.

Its DPI can be configured in 80 DPI steps.

Only downside I can see for me is the seriously ridiculously stiff cable it has. I managed to find a good position for it after a few days of moving things around but it wasn't easy.

I'd suggest to buy it through amazon.de so that you can send it back without issue if it's bad for you as I feel it's pretty expensive.

Actually I thought about this mouse myself, but as I wrote in the beginning, I just cannot get away from using that sidebuttons. The Mico does not offer sidebuttons

I use a deathadder, dont know what you mean by "claw type" but i use it in claw-mode because my hand is big enough to do so.

Recommend it!

A claw-type mouse is specifically designed for the claw-grip. It has a smaller size and a lower and shorter back to offer more mobility.

just too show you my problem. As you can see my hand is just slightly too big to claw grip it comfortably. Still most big mouses are too big for my grip.

I couldn't really claw deathadder, it was too long (not giving control over the high weight and big size in a balanced and grippable way unless using most of the hand with palmy-grip)

Spawn/xornet has been called a claw mouse by everyone, but i think it suits fingertip more unless you have small hands. Maybe claw for FPS? Grips are very different there but i've never used the shell for FPS because i have xornet with more limited sensor that doesn't have the PCS for my sensitivities
