I just upgraded from the glorious model D to the atk A9 pro max. I would do it all over again. It came with 50% battery and it's been over a week and I haven't changed it. OMG it's very lightweight and responsive. Highly recommend it I use it daily for Counter Strike
Xm2 / X2 / FK2-DW (i’d wait for fk1 here though w ur handsize, so maybe save up?) Those are my fav mice for claw, i particularly like the FK. I also enjoyed some clones, R5 ultra felt nice (very small, ULX clone) but it was too light for me at 38g. The superlight / superlight shape (atk A9 ultra or pro max) is quite versatile, could do you solid. Aj159 Apex (slightly bigger OP1, it’s decent, but normal op1 felt more premium) All mice i’ve mentioned have solid clones & the xm2w should be within your budget.
ATK A9 is definitely a good upgrade. But keep in mind it does not have any coating. ATK X1 SE has ice feel coating but that shaped hump is not as comfortable as GPXS. ATK A9+ has that coating but will cost you 3400.
VXE R1 is the default choice with ATK A9 and ATK X1 SE as alternatives. G304 and Razer DAV2 X HS as name brand alternatives though they are mediocre spec-wise. Redragon M916AK as something different and my pick as almost 50 million people in this sub have VXE R1. You will also get brand warranty with this one whereas the seller will handle it in case of VXE/ATK.
Go for ATK A9 then. GPXS shape is great for large hands. VXE R1 is also not gonna be very comfortable,

AFAIK the ATK A9 pro max fits your needs. It's usb-c charging, has a massive battery capacity and uses optical switches which prevent double clicking, three upgrades that were the biggest complaints that people had about the original superlight. If you want to find out more, head over to r/mousereview and search for reviews on the ATK A9. It's one of the most popular chinese brands, even some pro players in fps games choose them over the big name brands from the west.
i just bought a g pro superlight replica the ATK A9 Pro and im hnappy with this i dont even care about a superlight now
Increase your budget and get the atk a9 pro…
Ok first of all, choose mouse size, because the MAD R isn't really competition for the Mchose A7 or ATK A9. And yes, there is a big performance difference between the plus and the ultra. Though the A9 pro gets you basically all the benefits of the ultra for notably less.
Mad R is similar to the A9 pro except smaller then. Mchose A7 pro is great, but if it's the Mchose A7 pro v2 would probably stick with the Mad R. You can also look at other Mchose mice like the L7 ultra+ which is similar to the VXE MAD R in size. It's currently $52.70 on Amazon.
Mchose A7/Aula V9/ATK A9/ATK X1 are good for large hands. Also LGG La-1 sells batches with a small flex issue for really cheap if you can get that. the Rapoo is also a good shout. and if you don't mind wired, the Deathadder v3 is good too.
>both in terms of actual performance and what’s just marketing hype (is 8K polling even worth it?). >I’m **not too worried about weight** — Funny you should say that, because the thing that affect performance the most is weight. (well the most of anything objective, fitting your hand matters the most) I would say 8k polling is "worth it" only in that most of the good mice have it. It's not a thing to go for, and you will never use it, instead leave it at 1k-2k polling. But also, the best deals often have it by default. Mchose A7/Aula V9/ATK A9/ATK X1 are good for large hands. Also LGG La-1 sells batches with a small flex issue for really cheap if you can get that.
ATK A9 is a great option too for a superlight shape. They have a pretty good Christmas sale. You can get the A9 air for $60
The g203 is a pretty small mouse. If you like the shape you can get an Mchose G3. If you want a big mouse, ATK A9 (air is lighter and will still give well over 100 hours, ultimate has a bigger battery and will get you 600 hours) or RAWM Leviathan v4 are good choices.
ATK A9 air isn't much over budget right now and would be my recommendation. If it has to be under budget, cheaper ATK A9s exist, but you do lose performance compared to a Superlight. Nordic MCU is definitely one of the best. It's not the only game in town though.
All 3 are pretty good. I would get the Teevolution of those options, it's just as good and cheaper. If you want something a little cheaper that's still high quality Mchose A7/K7 or ATK A9/X1 are also good options. Or the ATK Z1 for something closer in shape to the Teevolution
Attack sharks are terrible quality. We easily get 3-4 times as many posts about attack sharks breaking as any other brand. I recommend Mchose A7/K7 or ATK A9/X1 for a large hand mouse. You can also go more ergo shape with the Mchose A7 (RE) or ATK Z1.
I recently jumped from a Viper mini wired to an ATK A9 pro. Have you by chance considered mice from similar brands as well ? ( ATK X1 Series has the viper shape)
The gain in performance, latency is only slightly noticeable in some games. However, the bigger size/shape, lighter feel, better build quality and not having an annoying cable was a huge improvement for me.
