Blazing Sky F1 Ultimate

Tbh save up for those chinese mice if you trust them enough. I have bought 5 50$+ mouses from chinese manufacturer with PAW 3950, they are ALL WORTH IT. Right now im using ATK F1 Ultimate, but im changing to Attack Shark R6 just because ☺ Making this for you if you're thinking of upgrading to a PAW 3950 mouse

ATK F1 Ultimate, i used to main a deathadder chroma and later a viper mini which both had great shapes and fit my hand well, but the heavier the mouse, the harder it is to aim since i have some serious weakness and strain issues ( probably from overplaying with bad posture for years ) The ATK F1 partially solved this because of the extreme low weight ( 35-40 grams ) and very light clicks.

Have the atk f1 ultimate v1, everything is great except battery life and the v2 solves that problem.

The main differences are the shape and sensor position. The A9 mini is a smaller G pro X superlight, the F1 is similar to the viper mini. I haven't tried the A9 mini (yet), I do own the F1 and I love the shape (the button height being low feels nice too). If you've ever tried the viper mini, or the viper v3 (and felt it was too big) and you liked the shape- the F1 is a good choice, but beware that the sensitivity (specifically the X axis, side to side movements) might feel a little sluggish due to the sensor being rear- biased. If you've tried the G Pro Superlight and even if you didn't- the A9 Mini is a very safe shape, and the sensor being a bit more forward is better, since it's closer to where it is on your current mouse.

If you want the Viper v3, the size would very probably be an issue. The F1 feels like a smaller and somewhat better version of the viper shape in my opinion, with the upside of the low button height, and the downside (imo) of the low sensor position. I could full heartedly recommend the F1 if I didn't dislike the sensor position as much, but the sluggish feeling I mentioned doesn't seem like it would bother you- go for it, or wait for the v3 to release soon, it should have a higher sensor position.

18.5 cm x 10 cm hands. I love the HTS shape. I've always gripped my mouse in a claw fingertip hybrid where I fingertip at rest but I move my arm forward and pull the mouse into a claw grip when I feel I need it. I couldn't necessarily tell you when I do claw my mouse or fingertip it specifically but I change subconsciously depending on the situation. I think it's the ideal grip for me since I get the stability of claw when I need it but also the precision of fingertip when I need that. One of my first mice was the Viper Mini and this might be where I got used to this, but between wanting wireless and just wanting to buy mice as a hobby I got into different shapes, small and big, ergo and ambi, but I returned full circle to the ATK F1 Ultimate for the Viper Mini shape for this reason. At least until a week ago when my HTS Ultra came in. I ordered the HTS Ultra, not for the shape, but rather to feed my chase of the lowest weight possible. I have to say though, even they are both small ambi mice and do great for a claw fingertip hybrid, the HTS shape is better for me by a large margin. The main thing that is improved for me is how the far back of the mouse tapers off. The HTS hump falls very quickly at the end while the Viper Mini shape feels more flat and gradual. This basically means that the mouse contacts my palm higher up compared to the Viper shape. Which, while I don't know exactly why, feels a lot more stable. If I had to guess though, it would be that the thenar part of my hand is pretty meaty and less contact in that position means my thumb is less restricted and thusly that moving my thumb does not interfere with my claw. So I love this mouse and would have no problem recommending it to someone who knows they like the HTS shape from the past, but I honestly don't know if I'd recommend it to someone over the Hitscan Hyperlight based off Gwolves Customer support, especially if they don't have any reference to know if they like one shape over the other. I just trust Hitscan more than ATK or GWolves based on what I hear from each of them. Overall though I'm really glad I took the chance and experimented with the shape. The ATK F1 has no spot on my desk anymore and I'm kinda glad to not have to deal with the issues I've had with it. Secondary mouse is the Waizowl OGM Pro V2 only for casual games where I'd prefer comfort. I palm grip it in those scenarios and appreciate the flatter hump falloff specifically for palm.

I wouldn't really say it feels cramped per se. If I never fingertipped the Viper Mini shape would be great for just a claw as I can get a good claw on it. Specifically for the grip style I have though where I switch between fingertip and claw it's very difficult to just pull back the mouse and get into that claw
