Like the title thinking of replacing my death adder always felt it was slightly big for my hands so was wondering if anyone has any opinions for slightly smaller mice
 
I have a Deathadder for work but used a sample for two weeks. Was a little thin for me so may be perfect for you. The mouse is also quite light if you like that. Also all Mionix Purchases this week come with a free Mouse Mat :)


Mionix CASTOR Optical Gaming Mouse @ £59.99 inc VAT

Castor is the second brightest star in the constellation Gemini and one of the brightest stars in the night sky. In Greek and Roman mythology Castor and Pollux were twin brothers, together known as the Dioscuri. The Dioscuri were regarded as helpers of humankind. Their role as horsemen and boxers also led to them being regarded as the patrons of athletes and athletic contests. They characteristically intervened at the moment of crisis, aiding those who honored or trusted them.

The CASTOR is a premium 6 button multi-color optical right-handed ergonomic gaming mouse. The unique shape has been developed to be used by right-handed gamers, and to equally support palm, claw and fingertip-grip. The mouse has a dedicated pinky- and ring-finger support-groove which makes it most comfortable to hold and lift.

The PMW-3310 gaming grade optical sensor has no positive or negative hardware acceleration, amazing accuracy, smooth tracking, and a maximum speed of more than 5.45m/sec (215 IPS) all the way up to 10000DPI. It is the choice of the world’s top pro-gamers and widely considered as the best gaming sensor currently available.
The new lift-off distance (LOD) Calibration feature combines the Surface Quality Analyzer Tool (S.Q.A.T ™) with adjustment of the lift-off height to find the lowest possible LOD with optimized tracking. The lightning fast 32bit ARM™ processor enables the mouse to have numerous gaming features without compromising on the tracking of the sensor. The downloadable software provides access to fully customize all buttons, sensor settings, LED colors, macros and profiles.

Grip style: Palm, claw and fingertip-grip

Logitech G303 is fairly small and can be found for around £40. It's good for claw grip if that's your style. Very good sensor on it too.
 
Replaced my Deathadder with a Zowie EC2-A this week, couldn't be happier with the ergonomics. The FK2 felt very good also but the EC2-A was a little better for me as a right hander.

Two negatives however. The DPI steps, only 400, 800, 1600, 3200 so if you are used to a setting in between these then you will have to readjust and the constant on LED on the scroll wheel.

The G303 felt absolutely horrible for me as someone who's been using Intellimouse and Deathadders his life.
 
Just bought a Deathadder and it's bigger size suits my hand much better, I moved from a Steelseries Kana V2 which now was obviously way too small for me but I've used it for the best part of 18 months.
 
Some good options thanks everyone, seen a lot of places praising zowie for small mice

Edit found dimensions

Much difference between the different models? I'm palm grip fyi
