What mouse should I keep?
I have the rival 300, Deathadder chroma and zowie ec1a.

People recommended me the zowie ec1a. However I feel it's the most heavy and due to it's big glide pads, it doesn't glide good at all on my Steelseries +qck pad.
The Deathadder glides much better and feels lighter. However the Deathadder seems to kinda wants to slip out of my hand due to it's heavy back.
The Rival 300 has awesome control but due to it's narrowness makes me cramp my thumb? Not sure with that one. But I had thumbpain when using fingertip grip with it.
 
keep whichever you feel most comfortable with. if the rival 300 makes your thumb cramp then that one is out of the question.
you better make a decision between the deathadder and teh zowie ec1a.

you could try other mices in stores as well. not just go for looks.
 
no, I changed grip a bit. I was puting to much force into it. using a very unique technique (rolling over my ringfinger,small finger skin). U wont understand. I used to press the thumb angled into my mouse. That caused the pain. I don't do that anymore.

Now it's only a choice between Rival 300 and Deathadder. The Zowie is pure shit imo.

Deathadder feels more comfortable and glides a bit better than the 300, but I am kinda forced to use palm grip, otherwise back of the mouse will fall down when lifting.
 
Just keep whatever you feel comfortable with man! You might not feel it now but later on down the road, you will suffer the same road like me for having a not so comfy mouse + gaming non-stop, it's called "TENNIS ELBOW". Make sure the mouse feels just right and you are not forcing yourself to grip it as gripping uses your forearm that causes the inflammatory of tendons if not taken care off. How I wished I bought a much more comfortable mouse back then as I can barely play games nowadays cuz the pain is no joke. You can try the Logitech g502 as that's the most comfortable gaming mouse according to MOBA (Dota 2, LoL, HoN) gamers. Cheers
 
Logitech never gave me pain. I had Logitech mx518 and G9x. And the form was perfect.
Unfortunately now all mice have a futuristic shape, are usually for Asian hands and come with crappy quality.
But the G502 is simply too heavy. It's like lifting a stone. And I am a low sense player, I can't lift that stone all the time. I think it would give me pain in my wrist, plus it takes more force to move it. Not good for fps.
 
All will go back. I changed my the way I use my mouse. I am common fingertip user now.

I ordered the g303. It's the only fingertip mouse that has good quality, is wide, is in the middle wide (ergonomic) and has the best sensor.
I hope it fits and I won't get cramps. Last time I tried it it was bad. But yesterday I changed my grip. So things should be different now.
 
UPDATE: I got serious thumb pain, can't use it any longer. I have to return it as well. I am not sure if the size of the mouse, the shape or althogether caused the pain in my thumb
