Been a while since I've bought a mouse so I'm a bit unfamiliar with the choices. I'm in the US.

I currently use the Razer Viper Mini and it feels a little too small for me, with the way I hold the mouse my pinky is just a little bunched up and useless and it feels like I don't have enough leverage on the top of the mouse either. Just need something slightly bigger, but other than the pinky it's a very comfortable mouse. Side buttons are a must.

Games: Apex, CS 2, OW 2, Xdefiant, Battlebit
Budget: $100
Hand size: 19cm length, 10.1cm width
Grip: Relaxed Fingertip/Hybrid Claw
Sensitivity: 800 DPI, 1.6 in-game sens on Apex. I change it from time to time.
Connectivity: Wireless preferred.

I also used the Nixeus Revel years ago and don't remember it as particularly comfortable

In short, the hump is much much wider and slightly taller, so you will absolutely feel a lot of the back hump in your palm

#

This can make it very comfortable for hybrid claw grips, especially because when you have the hump or mouse in your palm, the sides are curved a lot at specific areas where it "intends" you to grip it.

#

It has very curved sides, which makes you feel "locked" in on the sides, and more curved than the Viper mini for reference. This, I think, is what makes it so good for a lot of people and for others slightly uncomfortable.

#

It'll feel larger than the Viper Mini in hand, but I think it has potential to be a good fit. The clicks are fantastic (although a QC issue could be one of the clicks being squeaky), coating on thier mice feels grippy (I think they updated all their coatings, but their charcoal black used to be the one with the "best" kind of coating, a chalky kind of feeling vs a more plastic feeling on others), and the sensor is top tier with 4khz polling capability which you'll need to buy a separate dongle for $14, or if it's explicitly included.

#

Only issue is... it's mostly out of sale everywhere in the US

#

I think MaxGaming might have some but they're based in Stockholm although they do have a US warehouse I believe. So maybe they'll have some in stock there that they can ship to you, I believe contacting their support can clear that up

Thanks for the recommendation and the write-up, it helps a lot! From what I've looked at this had been on my possible purchase list for a little bit, so it might be what I eventually end up getting
