Things That I care about the most :
Good and “Safe” shape, since I am a Claw/palm gripper.
Accurate sensor.
Side/extra buttons.
And finally not too heavy.
I’m currently looking at these mouses that are all from Logitech : Logitech G303, Logitech G402, Logitech G403, Logitech G502.

The G303 is light ( which will help me a lot since I like to flick), has side buttons, and pretty accurate, but has an odd shape that I don’t know if I’ll like. (And no, I can’t try them before buying)

The g402 is also pretty good, not that heavy, and has a safer shape, but from what I’ve seen the side buttons are a bit mushy and have a lot of travel distance.

The G403 is on the simpler side, but still light, accurate, has side buttons, safe shape, which might be my best bet.

The g502 packs a lot of buttons and features, but is also pretty heavy, and from what I’ve heard has a design that make flicking harder.

Let me know which you think is the best for me, and tell me if you think there are any better mouse around $50.
Btw my hand size is 18cm from base to tip of middle finger, and 9cm from base of pinky to close to the tip of the thumb.
Thanks.

I am also planning on buying a new mouse. It just so happens you named one of them. I planned to get the G502. I was debating between G502 or the G602. I decided G502 because users of the two used the G502 more.

The G502, you could adjust the weight. It's also highly liked by most gamers.

I also just figure out my hand size and they're the same as yours. I do not however play with the claw grip, I play with my hands fully rested on the mouse.

I am pretty sure the G502, will not disappoint you.

I use a G303 on my computer and I've never had a problem with the shape. It has been very comfortable for me. It slides smoothly over my extra large mouse pad and is sometimes too quick. I end up playing with a lower DPS because it is so responsive. It's switches are all solid feeling and work well, even years into its use. I've been using it for about two years now and I've been nothing but happy with it.

I can't really speak to the others.

Well I mean I just read other people's review, I can't really say my exact thoughts on any of the mouses. Just gather some information on them and made an assumption.

Also, most FPS players lower their DPI so they don't miss their target. Where most MOBA and RTS players play on a medium difficult because they need to get to a certain location on their monitor in a short time. Players change DPI on the game they play or at least they should. Not everyone does.

The G502’s weight without the extra weights is about 120g, which is from what I’ve heard pretty heavy, especially since I like to flick.

Well, the only mouse lighter than the G502 on this list is G303. I don't think the G303 is bad, but I mean the G502 is light and has quite a bit of feature.

I will say choose by feature so if you see that you could use all the features in the G502 get that. If the G303 meets all your requirements you could get that. I feel like the G502 would be pretty nice since you could adjust the weight of the mouse to your liking.

Do you know the average weight of the mouse you use?

This is my first actual “gaming” mouse, the mouse I currently use is 90g.
Btw the G402 is also lighter than the G502.

If you take all the weights out of the G502, it's not. G502 with its weights out is 121g. G402 is 144g. I believe it's the heavies mouse here of all of them. That is if the G502 had it's weights out. If not, then G502 is the heaviest.

I honestly can't tell the difference between mouse weight honestly. I just adjust to my mouse and then I use it. I am more of a grip person than a weight person when it comes to mouses.

Nope, the G402 is 108g without the weights (and cable), checked from Logitech’s website. That’s one of the main reasons I said no to the G502. The G403 is also lighter.

Well, it sounds like you know which mouse you want now. So you should be good. You're completely against it or fighting it at least. So I would recommend other ones if weight is an issue for you. Which you stated you prefer a lighter mouse. So you could go with what features and weight fit for you.

If you see a mouse with all you features you prefer, it should be the one to go with. You may want to start with the lowest weight and work your way up.

That’s why I asked in the first place...
I listed the things I want and like expecting that someone would recommend a mouse they know/used, or tell me their opinions on the mouses that I listed wanting to know weather there good or not or if they found any problems using one of them, telling me to avoid it.
And btw, thanks you’ve helped me a lot.

Can you please tell me the size of your hand, what is the grip style/technique you use, and whether you track or flick or both.

hi, i have the g502 and its really good, i came from a razer mambe which unfortunately broke over time, this mouse is less than half the the price and after a day or two i honestly couldnt say which is better. I use a claw grip, but i dont understand 'flicking?' the only flicking i know of is bean flicking? But thats a whold different ball game ;)

Just look up “FPS flick” or something in YouTube to get an idea.
Here’s an example : https://youtu.be/Ixkw-lgVlBs
