Kova+ or G400?

Ordering a new mouse next week. I've been using a Deathadder for about 4 years now. Original DA at first but then about a year ago I got the DA Respawn. Great mouse. Great feel. But the glossy sides pick up dirt easily and this last one has only lasted me just over a year.

So looking to try something new and thought either the Kova+ or soon-to-be-released G400 would be suitable alternatives.

Kova+ mainly because I've read that it's good for claw grips (my palm only just touches the back/top of the DA) and is generally a pretty solid mouse.

G400 as everyone says Logitech mice have a long lasting, good quality build and good customer service.

So can anyone compare either of these (G400 has same shape as MX518) to the DA using a claw-like grip? Or what are your experiences with them (the Kone+ at least) so far? Or can anyone suggest something else? I'm looking at around £40-45 or less.

And before anyone suggests I just get the MX518. I just hate the silvery-grey bump effect

Thanks

I hate the MX518 paint job also, looking at getting a G400 myself soon.

Found this little review here

G400 looks promising, however it will have prediction, although I've heard it's quite minimal. Have you considered the Logitech G500 or SS Xai? Mind you, there's only 3 mouse mats to my knowledge and many others that work properly with the xai; steelseries 4hd/9hd and qpad heatoN XL.

The Xai would be nice but it is too expensive imo.I'll have a look at the G500.
