Hi,

I've got a Logitech G5, and I find it really comfortable to use but I needed at least two side buttons for gaming.

I ordered a Logitech G500 thinking it would be perfect but it's really quite unpleasant for me.

When gaming, I move my mouse a lot by lifting it. From reading around, I use a claw grip. The G5's profile and grooves for the thumb and little finger means I can lift it easily without having to grip harder on the mouse. The G500 on the other hand has a shape that makes it harder to pick up without a firmer grip, which is causing my hand to ache. The G500 also feels heavier, and I'm not keen on the rough texture of the plastic.

So what I'm after:
  • Two side buttons
  • Shaped so that it is easy to pick up without a firm grip. I think I'm using a claw grip.
  • Not a rough plastic texture. Preferably a smooth rubber finish like the G5

G400 looks similar to the G4, but I'm not sure how it compares.

Appreciate any help that can be offered.

Thanks
