I got the wrong mouse :(

The MX518 actually has an internal weight. It's a piece of metal held via a screw to the top side of the shell. You can pop the mouse open and remove it.
I know it's not a weight system as such but I just thought I'd point it out.

The Logitech G9 might be worth consideration if you can find one at a good price.

Razer Salmosa designed for fingertip grip

why does no one apart from phoenixuk recommend what he is asking for, a finger grip mouse (bloody mx518)

because ppl will recommend the mx518 regardless of what they need it for.

i've seen ppl even suggest it for left handed ppl
 
Razer Copperhead if the DA was too big.

Used to have a Copperhead for years - amazing mouse but wanted a change so went to DA from that - Copperhead is nice and light too with weights available (at a cost)

Go for a Steelseries Kinzu, the Xai was perfect for holding with your fingertips and the Kinzu is basically a smaller Xai without the buttons.

I use finger grip and I also use the MX518, it is very comfortable for that style of use.
 
MS Wheel Mouse Optical 1.1a (ultimate finger tip mouse especially if you have it running 250+Hz - tho some people might find it lacking in dpi at higher resolutions) either that or the salmosa for the better sensor.
 
MS Wheel Optical 1.1a - great mouse! cheap too, but it shows it's age with regards to polling/dpi
Razer Salmosa - angle snapping and will cramp your hand after a while
Razer Abyssus - no angle snapping, very comfortable, high specs. great mouse!
SteelSeries Xai - a bit big and heavy for finger tip grippers, awesome sensor though
SteelSeries Kinzu - smaller than the MWO 1.1a, very nice shape, crap glides, crap sensor

I decided I loved the Kinzu's shape and the Xai's sensor, so I bought both and modded the two together :D

I wish there was a gaming mouse in the VX Nano form factor, that's the most comfortable mouse i've used. (As a fingtertip mouser)
 
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!

you are so right on that point.
 
LOL - Thats a cheap mistake compared to my HUUUGE mistake of buying the Razer Mamba :(

I've had the copperhead, Deathadder, lachesis, abysuss and now the mamba.

I'm left handed ;) and use my finger tips for mouse use and found the best one was the Lachesis - its great for fingertip use as it has a 'broad' top.

The deathadder I had the same problem as you - it didnt last me long, copperhead was ok, abysuss was just crap (it even felt cheap)

My Mamba gives me wrist strain after 5 mins :( :( :( - Personally don't like it but I've had it too long to return it now :<

Go for the lachesis as its an ambidextrous mouse AND is great for finger tip use. Wish I'd just got one of them now but my 1yr old son has a tendency of trying to eat my mouse (teething) so wireless is still the only route for moi :(
