Hello. I recently bought a Zowie EC2-A white edition to replace my broken Asus ROG Sica (due to faulty sensor, fit without any issues), before that i was using the Gigabyte XM300(pretty sure perfect fit) without any issue.
The zowie seemed great, aimed better than usual and so on. However, 5 days i used it without any concern it felt great. Starting from today im having moderate pain in my wrist sometimes (rarely) and quite commonly my pinkie hurts after playing for like an hour or 2.
I measured, (not sure how accurately) that my hand length is 16.5 cm and width is 8.5cm.
So im thinking i might need another gaming mouse.
A few mice i've been looking at.
Razer Deathadder Elite
Zowie FK2/FK1
Logitech g402.
Maximum i'd be willing to pay is 70€, minimum 55€, i do play mostly FPS games, CS:GO(kinda stopped tho), Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory.
Anyone have any advice :D
Thank you!
P.S I played on 1.6sens/400dpi for 5days, when i changed to 2/400 dpi that's the day things started hurting, maybe that has something to do with it? Before that i was playing 2.5/450.

I do not know anyone here who is a medical doctor, and it sounds like you are looking for treatment advice for a developing medical condition. Other than your mouse, other factors could be involved too, such as distance to your desk, elevation of your arm, and your seating angle. You may wish to seek the advice of a medical professional, possibly an occupational therapist, to decide on what sort of changes would be best for you.

Thank you for your reply. Well i used the ROG Sica today again, same grip same everything. And i felt none of those concerns, the shape is completely different and way smaller. Imo it's nothing to do with my hand. But i could be wrong, i'll get myself checked out just incase.
P.S Oh, you probably looked at the title and thought that. What i meant by that is maybe it takes longer to adjust to a different shaped and sized mouse. And i was wondering maybe at first there's gonna be a bit of pain.

A highly adjustable mouse (Cyborg R.A.T. perhaps?) may be most suitable. Check your arm / wrist angles. A gel wrist rest may help too, or see if your arm is resting on a hard desk-edge that may be creating tendon pain or cutting off circulation.

Meant to reply, not pick solution. I still don't think that's the issue i've played with 24 mice all with different shapes, they were all way smaller than this one, i think this one is just too big. That's why im looking for a replacement ^^
