Hi everybody,
I'm a gamer like many of you and I enjoy FPS and videogames in general; recently I've been playing Battlefield 4 and League of Legends mostly. I currently own a Roccat Kova[+] but I'm looking for another mouse because mine is slowly deteriorating: the middle mouse button is not working anymore. Moreover, I used it a lot and my hands are usually warm (and sweaty), so the rubbery cover in many parts of the mouse is going away.
I'm looking for something a little bit different because, despite being an excellent mouse, I feel the need of some more THUMB buttons to play effectively (the Kova has two on the left side, pretty useful, and two on the right side, but i hardly use them).
Please note that I have a huge hand and it is impossible for me to use a mouse with the so called "palm grip": i should have TWO phalanges less to comfortly use the Kova with this grip. I also find the so called claw grip extremely unconfortable, so i usually "finger grip" my mouse.
More in details I grip my mouse keeping 3 fingers on top and thumb and pinkie on the sides (i use the right button with the ring finger). To give some numbers as a reference, my hand from wrist to the end of the middle finger is 21cm (8.25 inches).
I'm usually a low dpi user, 1600dpi, never understood high dpi settings actually. In Battlefield 4 i use 4cm/360° (1.6 inch). I prefer the stepping scroll wheel, the Kova has a somehow hard one, and I find it very confortable because i use the wheel button A LOT (probably the reason why it is broken now) and it is easier to click without slipping and scrolling the wheel at the same time.
Well, if you need more informations about me just ask, this is everything it came in my mind
More than two thumbs buttons is the main feature I look for, but it should be comfortable for my hand (and this i think it's the hard part). Please don't suggest MMO mouses: 12 buttons are an exaggeration and probably extremely uncomfortable for a finger gripper!
I've seen some models with the buttons requiremens:
- Razer Hex, horrible i'd say, I don't know about the comfort but the design is awful!
- G602, seems good but I'm concerned about the wireless (compared to a wired mouse), the 500Hz (compared to 1000Hz) polling rate and the asymmetrical shape (for the comfort).
- G700, seems good as well
What are your thoughts about these, and please suggest some more!
Thanks in advance!
