Hi all, just looking for a bi of advice on buying a new mouse.
I'm reaching that all too familiar time where my mouse is on it's last legs, so it's time for it to go. I'm currently using my third Razer Copperhead (I've had one of each colour!) and prior to that I owned 2 Diamondbacks. Trouble is, I can't find another Copperhead - long discontinued - and razer don't seem to have a direct successor in the same or similar shape.
Though I've been hugely happy with my Razer mice, I'm happy to look at alternative brands. I've been able to have a look at a couple of other mice, including the roccat's (not good to hold) and a few MS offerings (typically too tall) so these seem to be out. Some more hopefully helpful info:
Hand size: Small. Not baby sized, but definitely below average.
Ergo/ambi: Preference for ambidextrous mouse, or one with a fairly uniform layout, as I find having my hand tilted on the mouse uncomfortable (though I'm sure this is better ergonomically).
Grip: Mainly fingertip/claw as appropriate
Mat: Razer exactmat & rest - i prefer a gel rest so my wrist is supported, as no palm on mouse due to grip.
Buttons: 2 thumb buttons for voice comms, binds etc.
Games: Mainly FPS and RPG/Action, some rts/strategy - ie BF3, Mass effect 2/3, skyrim, Total war series.
Budget: Not really a concern for the right mouse, maybe £100?
Any and all opinions appreciated, shame Razer can't solve my problem and update the diamondback/copperhead!
Thanks.
