Question Bought the wrong mouse for my hand.

[axlrose]

Looking for some quick advice. I purchased a deathadder v3 pro at Christmas time. It's a great mouse. Glad to have it. But I use a palm grip. It was described as both a palm grip and a claw grip I believe. I can't get it to work as a palm grip. I realized while playing tonight that I turn it about 30 degrees to the left and use it with a claw grip to find it comfortable in my hand. It's odd.

Any advice for something larger that I can use with a palm grip?

Thanks!

If you’re in the USA and have a Best Buy nearby, I think sometimes they have a display set up where you can try some out.

Do you have weight requirements? IE, does mouse have to be light or you don't care?

I have a Logitech G502 X Plus and its palm grip... but its probably heavier as well

waiting on an Aerox 5 wireless, its meant to be claw/palm as well. Used Steelseries mice before, its same shape as the previous two I used.

That's how I found this one. Went up and down the aisles and tried them all. This one felt just right, but after using it for about two months, I just can't get it to feel big enough for a palm grip.

No weight requirement. I'm more likely to play survival games than anything where I'm worried about those types of stats. This is my first wireless mouse and I'm loving that. It has to be wireless.

It's kinda big in Europe, I'm on second one in about 7 years. Optical switches are great stuff, don't wear out like micro switches and buttons have nice soft feeling to them with no loud clicks.

New one showed up today. I wasn't expecting it so soon.

I wouldn't get a white one again, it has changed color in a year.
New one is a better choice and can be hard to see on mouse pad when its asleep. I have its rgb set to turn off after a minute. Mouse already turns it off when mouse is moving, as you can't see through your hand, so why show it.

The size and height difference is noticeable. The new one is way shorter. Took a while to adjust to the feeling of the honeycomb.

Most of its rgb is under the mouse, which seems a strange place... you can't see it. It turns off as soon as mouse is on pad. Its like they knew people expect rgb so put it on but then had it in such a way its not constantly draining battery

Now if mice floated on a cushion of air it would reduce need for glass mouse pads and also mean the underglow could be seen.
