Gaming mouse. Palm grip and claw

[TheMysteriousStranger]

My razar deathadder 2013 right click button started double clicking. I put up with it for a month but i'm tired of it and I need a new mouse. I hold my mouse in the palm grip. My budget is 80 dollars but i could go up to 100 if it's like the perfect mouse or something. I loved the feel of my deathadder but a few extra buttons would be good like a third button for sniping. I'm a general all around gamer and the g502 seems right for me but I've read that it's bad for palm.
Any suggestions?

Granted, I haven't gone through too many reviews (I'll likely need a mouse soon but it's not a high priority) but the Logitech G502 seems to be a very nice gaming mouse (it'll be on my short-list for sure). The only thing I found about grip was this statement, "Palm players with large hands may find the Proteus Core a bit small for their tastes." found here http://www.tomsguide.com/us/logitech-g502-proteus-core,review-2138.html and one other similar statement. I think the biggest "quibble" pointed out in reviews was the ridiculousness of 12,000 dpi sensitivity (I rarely use settings above 1800 dpi personally).
I think I could picture myself enjoying that mouse even if there is a learning curve there.

i've personally tried the g502 proteus and i'm also a deathadder user who uses a semi-palm style grip.

the button placement is perfect on the proteus however its not wide enough (the deathadder is wider and has angled out sides while the proteus has an angled in side) so it caused extreme discomfort in my pinky and ringfinger from curling around the edge of the mouse.

performance was excellent however the mousewheel blows. its a combination of hyperscroll (bad for gaming imo) and a rather bad clicky scroll wheel which doesnt so much feel clicky as it does like rolling it over a bumpy object in a grinding way. not good at all.

i'm going to repair my deathadder by soldering on new switches (i can link to you the ones which match what is used in the original deathadder which are likely the same as the version you have if you need). if you wanted a new mouse then the kone may be more your style. or perhaps zowie ec1.

The Corsair M65 and M95 work pretty well for palm and claw grips, and they're some of the toughest mice I've seen. The black ones with the matte plastic are nicer than the white that leaves your hand feeling sweaty.
