mouse grip + recs? | /r/MouseReview | Page 1

Hi. I was wondering about the title of my mouse grip (so I can also Google recommendations...) and what you guys would recommend for it. My hand size is 19x10.5 cm. Have used deathadder elite, ec2-b, vaxee outset AX, superlight (1). I liked the outset but when I use it my hand tends to form a hover claw/fingertip (twistzz grip) instead of this which I normally navigate towards.

With the superlight I pincer my thumb more than usual and my pointer/middle slide a little more into palm grip-esque than my typical claw/flat thumb (like I try to use normally)

Any recommendations? I was thinking of trying G303

@coarse violet sorry for the @ but you seem to be the 🐐 of answering these threads lol

Looks like relax ftip or relax palm idk, if u r touching only fingers, ur choice is z1 pro, if u r using palm grip u can try some egro mice like lamzu thorn, zaopin z2, v3 pro and etc.

What does zob mean 😭😭

#

oh shit i gotta rec

#

fuckk

#

with pincer theres like 4 very distinct types of mice to use

#

theres egg/diamond shapes

#

so like zaopin z1 pro and g303

#

g303 for pincer claw is BIG, you have 19x10.5 so you should be fine just expect it to feel pretty large

#

za13 is also very popular for pincer, im suprised there isnt a wireless version yet

#

theres typical claw shapes that work well too

#

op1, s2, xm2we/atlantis, la-1, vxe r1, sora, etc.

#

uhh

#

another one one thats very popular for pincer is the np-01/s

#

if you want something similar(ish) to the outset ax but much lower height i would recommend these

if you could like draw where the mouse touches your hand that's be useful

like on this

#

something like a hts+ or a regular hts is pretty popular for pincerish grips

#

those are close to a smaller version of a gpx

#

#

hts+ vs superlight for example

#

mz1 is also popular ish

#

imagine if someone wanted to turn a gaming mouse into a credit card

#

thats what the mz1 looks like

cosmic sail May 22, 2024, 1:16 AM

#

Yeah, I've been checking the ones mentioned in elo shapes
I was originally looking at the g303 because the wideness, I think with gpx shape I'm tilting my ring and pinkie in like / (?) pretty hard so it feels a little uncomfortable, and I imagine it's also why I pincer my thumb when it feels better to flatten it - because the sides have that pivot in - but maybe idk what I'm talking about lol

#

So when looking at the hts (or a lot of these) I think I'd like the shorter length but the sides have the same pivot

#

Did any of that make sense ~

this might make it sound like the gpx is forcing you into pincer

#

the superlight is curved very weirdly at the top wich makes it feel much narrower than it really is

#

if you want somrthing necessarily WIDE try an np-01

cosmic sail May 22, 2024, 3:05 AM

#

coarse violet

Maybe like this where red is occasional for when I push my hand a little more forward for a more aggressive claw sometimes

coarse violet May 22, 2024, 3:06 AM

#

this is very pincer

#

do you have any rpeferences between ambi or asym

#

or ergo eveb

cosmic sail May 22, 2024, 3:12 AM

#

I don't think so, I have probably been a little more comfortable with the outset AX but it forces my grip to be different (like I said with twistzz grip feeling more comfortable for the outset than my pincer), so my ergos have been tradeoffs

#

Also tried a dav3 before, hated it

coarse violet May 22, 2024, 3:18 AM

#

too big?

#

if prob the sloping

cosmic sail May 22, 2024, 3:38 AM

#

been too long. I'll probably try g303 and then np-01 (za13, cords are annoying)

cosmic sail May 22, 2024, 3:40 AM

#

coarse violet too big?

I had this for a little bit (don't remember mouse name, took the picture like 2 years ago for a mouse rec post like this one) (I got roasted for having "xenomorph grip")

coarse violet May 22, 2024, 3:41 AM

#

xtrfy mz1

#

i think

cosmic sail May 22, 2024, 3:42 AM

#

Actually I found the post, yeah, mz1, this one was "cliffhanger grip", they called the pincer claw for the superlight (like I posted here) "xenomorph grip" ..

#

Thanks for the recs

cosmic sail May 27, 2024, 3:09 AM

#

coarse violet i think

Tried viper v3 pro, g303 se, xlite v3 es (just because those were the ones I could Amazon return trick)

In order, felt like a better superlight but not sure it's a necessary upgrade for $160 and synapse bloatware
Aimed better (felt "locked in") but just wasn't comfortable
Really liked. Years ago I swapped off ec2 because it was considered outdated and my cord got awful and ec2-cw wasn't a thing. So new question: ec2-cw or this? Or is there a better alternative to both?

coarse violet May 27, 2024, 3:10 AM

#

nothing straight up "better"

#

but if you liked those shapes look into the lamzu thorn

#

might probably not be better

#

but id watch yifangs review on it he compares it to the ec2

#

shape wise

#

#

yo bro

Sleet was a crazy guess to use 2 Es

coarse violet May 27, 2024, 3:15 AM

Is yifang your friend or something cuz this guy has like 2k subs

coarse violet May 27, 2024, 3:17 AM

#

nah he just spends 2 mins comparing the thorn to the ec2

#

theres like boardzy but hes not a big fan of the shape

#

also he got a pre production i=unit so he also has more issues with it

#

probably like aimadapt compares it to some other stuff

cosmic sail May 27, 2024, 3:18 AM

#

Are haus/optimum trusted by community?

#

Thorn 25 grams less than ec2 lol..

coarse violet May 27, 2024, 12:22 PM

#

haus yes

#

optimum ehhh

#

optimum tends to get shiton by any community he joins

cosmic sail May 28, 2024, 2:07 AM

does polling rate actually matter because the optimum video says it's placebo but yifang and boardzy criticize new releases for being 1k

what mouse were we talking about again

cosmic sail May 28, 2024, 2:41 AM

#

coarse violet what mouse were we talking about again

EC2-CW was the last one but I mean in general (for example yifang peripheral spreadsheet repeatedly says "4K will raise this to S+")

coarse violet May 28, 2024, 2:46 AM

#

yeah 4khz does improve latency

#

but it also comes with some games not supporting it well

#

and shitting n battery life

#

but in my experience it is noticeable

#

so yeah you trake 2 mice one is 1khz the other is 4khz youre gonna notce the deifference (on 144hz and more)

#

also depends on the implimentation

#

logitechs 4khz is terrible, zowie's 1khz is amazing

Is beast x mini a good idea to work as a superlight for smaller hands

cosmic sail Jun 1, 2024, 9:41 PM

coarse violet like are you asking if the beast x mini would work as a gpx mini?

yes . originally i miscalculated my hand size, now im trying mini mice and they feel better. figured if i like superlight quite a bit i should also try whatever a mini superlight is .

#

also curious about small size palm mice , yifangs spreadsheet doesnt have a single mouse for that (?)

xlite v3 mini, ec3-cw, wait for the lamzu paro to release

cosmic sail Jun 1, 2024, 9:44 PM

#

coarse violet xlite v3 mini, ec3-cw, wait for the lamzu paro to release

these are kind of listed, only worried because ive heard xlite v3 ES is higher QC and better coating than base xlite v3, but the ES isnt offered in mini size
and obv for ec3-cw people just generally hate on the weight and tech quality
will look into these further, though

coarse violet Jun 1, 2024, 9:45 PM

#

i would still pick an xlite regulart over an xlite eS

#

ANY DAY

#

its ligher

cosmic sail Jun 1, 2024, 9:45 PM

#

why?

#

ah

coarse violet Jun 1, 2024, 9:45 PM

#

and cheaper

#

and id rather use software than a shitty screen on the back of the mouse

cosmic sail Jun 1, 2024, 9:46 PM

#

its funny that mini ergos are still larger than gpx

#

do they actually feel mini in hand ?

coarse violet Jun 1, 2024, 9:46 PM

they feel smaller than regular ergos

coarse violet Jun 1, 2024, 9:47 PM

#

cosmic sail its funny that mini ergos are still larger than gpx

its weird describing

#

small ergos force me into a forward palm grip

cosmic sail Jun 1, 2024, 9:48 PM

forward referring to like hover grip ?

or forward in another way
