So my current mouse is the Logitech G402. I like it a lot, but I have one problem with it.
It weighs 108g, which is a little heavy for me. I tried the G203 once, which is 85g, and I really liked it. However, it only has three extra buttons, two on the side and one on top. I love having the five extra buttons the G402 has, all binded to different functions in-game. So is there a light mouse, around 90g, that still has at least four usable extra buttons? And by usable, I mean programmable and easy to press. Buttons that can't be reliably pressed during gameplay I don't count.
I mainly play shooters, I use claw grip, and my hand is about 18.5cm by 9.5cm. My budget is about $100 CAD, but I can go a bit higher. I would actually prefer if the mouse had the option to go wireless, but wired is fine too. Other things, like shape, sensor, and aesthetics, aren't as important to me, as long as they are passable.
Here are a few examples of mice I've looked at that I liked, but are not quite right.
Steelseries Rival 600: It is just under 100g and has 4 extra buttons, but I'm worried that the far front side button will be really hard to press. It also costs $100 CAD, and I would be paying for features I don't care about, like the dual optical sensors and adjustable weight compartments.
Razer Basilisk: It looks pretty similar to my current mouse, weighing about the same and having the same number of extra buttons. It really doesn't solve the problem.
Logitech G900: It weighs the same, but has way more features. Using side buttons on both sides, that's four extra buttons, and I can tilt the wheel left and right for two more. It also has wireless capability and freescroll, which I like, but it doesn't solve the weight issue and is very expensive at $150 CAD. I'm also worried about accidental clicks on the side buttons on the right, where my pinky and ring finger sits.
So does a mouse that fits my criteria exist? Or should I do something else to solve the problem? Maybe go with a lower friction mousepad, or just simply force myself to use less mouse buttons?
