Hi, the title describes my issue best; I'm looking for an alternative, probably not going Razer again. Play a lot of different games, super low weight is nice but i can live with ~100g mice as well. Price isnt really an issue as i'm getting a 150eu refund. I have relatively small hands (~17.5cm), and the V2 pro fits very well. Overall very happy with the mouse itself, but the scrollwheel started acting funky after a few months, and just gave up yesterday. Read online that the viper V3 has similar issues...

Currently looking at:

Logitech G502 X Plus,
Corsair Darkstar Wireless,
Nightsabre Wireless,
M65 Wireless
Logitech Superlight 2

Purchasing in Europe, using a palm grip most often, sometimes claw grip. Used a Corsair M65 Pro for about 6 years, very happy with it, but feels quite heavy using it as a replacement right now.

Hopefully this is enough info.
Thanks in advance!

hm. palm grip sometimes claw? im guessing relaxed claw

#

i feel like an ergo would work well for you

#

i would dav3 hyperspeed

#

xlite v3 medium

#

z2 could work and is a bit cheaper or maybe a lamzu thorn

#

for ambi i would say x2v2, sora v2, x2h (x2v2 with a bigger hump basically), mad r/atk f1/x1 if u can wait for qc issues to clear up.

Relaxed claw would be a nice name for it, sounds about right! The dav3 looks nice, but i'm a bit worried about the scrollwheel QC, something which pops up fairly often on reddit and other forums. I'll have a look at your recs, thanks!
