I got the wrong mouse :(

[jimjam!]

Hello all,

This is my first post and I am hoping for a little advice. I have just built my first rig et all.

Got me first gaming mouse - Razer Deathadder. Fantastic mouse, but it's too big for me as I hold the mouse with my finger tips. I just don't find it easy to use.

I'm looking for a mouse thats is a bit smaller. Have used a Logitech LX3 - it's just the right size but not good enough for FPS.

I have found the Razer Abyssus recommended by Savvy in another thread - the one thing that puts me off is the lack of 2 side buttons especially to change dpi on the fly. The under side button on the Abyssus dosen't seem user friendly to use during a fast game. Have also looked at the Roccat Kova but there is no software to configure the buttons.

Anyone have any other suggestions for a good gaming mouse that works with the fingertip grip?

Thanks!

It seems a lot of people rate the mx518 and G5. I think I will see if my local PC shops stock these mice so I can get a better look at them.

I've got long thin fingers, and from what I can gather, most people like me use the finger tip grip.

Is this type of grip in the minority? It seems most mice are made for the palm/claw types.

Well, I have got loads of mice to think about. I will take a peek at some in my local PC store plus a few mates have some of the mice mentioned I think.

Then will order from OC 'cos the prices are good and delivery is ace!

I never realised until now how much thought needs to go into a mouse. It just shows that everyone holds their mice a little different to each other. And that difference can make a hugh impact on the type of mouse you feel comfortable with!
