Do I need a new mouse?

Hi guys, lately I have been feeling that my ring/pinky fingers have been cramping up/aching when using the computer for a couple of hours.
I am currently using a G500 and was wondering whether this could be the cause of my problem?

I think it maybe due to how I hold the mouse as I dont hold it with my full palm instead, I use my finger tips.

It is quite large, maybe too large for my liking.

I wouldn't say I have large hands but I do have quite long fingers....

Maybe a smaller/flatter mouse would work better, do you have any suggestions?

Yeah, they were the ones I was looking at as well as the Deathadder range.
Just need to pop into the purple store someday and hope that they have one in store for me to try.
Any other suggestions for mouse?

Thanks for the suggestions, keep 'em coming

Btw, I don't really want to spend over £50 if possible on a mouse as I would like to invest on a mechanical keyboard as well.

I also looked at other SS mouse such as the Kinzue and senseis, are they any good?

Isnt the RAT7 more customizable than the RAT5 with the thumb and pinky adjustments?
Logically speaking, the best mouse to go for would be the one you can mould into the shape of you hand am I right?

They seem to be going for £65 new, but is it worth that much over the RAT5 for the amount of customization you get?
Another option would be to go second hand.

Thanks for the replies guys.

Just got back from the purple shop and tried what they had in store.

The RAT7 they had wasnt adjusted to my liking which is probably the reason why it didnt feel comfortable at all.

The deathadder on the other hand, fit my hand perfectly.
