M5 Pro

As someone who's tried the HSK pro ace, beast miao, and M5 pro, the fenrir asym is my favorite by far. The wider grip and low weight outweighed the lack of holes on the M5 and the solid feel of the beast miao. I don't think I'll be buying another mouse for a while... probably.

I completely forgot about the Darmoshark M5 and M5 Air! Didn't even know the Darmoshark M3 Micro existed tbh. That is two additional extant shapes. Currently at $80 for 1K polling and $130 for 8k polling respectively on AliExpress for the M5 pro and about the same ($80/$110) for the M3 Micro. The M5 Air is around $150. (prices for US market) How are we defining cheap? I feel like sub $50 is a reasonable spot for good old 1k polling, just my opinion on the matter since that price bracket is where those without the CPU grunt to handle 8 or even 4k polling in esports titles without stuttering at high FPS would be best served. CS/Val are both CPU intensive titles. For example, VXE R1 Pro had effectively the same specs for basically half the price and a better reputation for quality than Darmoshark. Gets a bit weird since it was exactly $53.69 including shipping/taxes with the 4k receiver 18 months ago from the other side of the planet to me, but things have changed a bit since. Currently, the updated 8k VXE Mad R is offered for around $65 including an 8k receiver and the R1 pro + 4k receiver is $70. A VXE Mad R 1k polling mouse is offered for around $45. The Keychron M4 1k polling is the only fingertip specific mouse in the US market under $50 price where I am subjectively drawing the "cheap" line. Availability isn't great. Sold out on Amazon, wildly overpriced through third parties on competing US online marketplaces and AliExpress, $40 direct from Keychron shipping not included which is the obvious best option at the moment.

Played it some more today. Maybe I need to use it more but am discovering that the m5air may be too lightweight for me. The 38 grams of the m5pro feels better in terms of mouse movement. I'll try to adapt but not sure. The m5pro may be a much better value mouse.

I have the same hand size, also sweat a lot and play mostly fingertip and the best mouse that has fit me so far is the Darmoshark M5 pro.  I have recently ordered a new mouse so we'll see if anything can knock off the M5 pro. My partner has the OP1w 4K and I can say that it's probably the best choice if you want to play claw with 17.5 X 10cm hand size.

If you're wanting to try fingertip out then you might want to get the Darmoshark M5 pro as it's decent quality and a great introduction to the mouse type.  If you're set on a high end mouse to start then I'd recommend the Fenrir Asym for large hands and Fenrir pro for small/medium hands.

I have similar hand size and grip. I switch back and forth between the Darmoshark M5 and the op1 so I'd say either of those are the best options

The front shapes are very similar.  Using fingertip on both they feel very similar and the op1 feels like the darmoshark grew into a full mouse that's great to transition back and forth to claw lol. https://www.eloshapes.com/mouse/compare?p=endgame-gear-op1w-4k-v2-vs.-darmoshark-m5-pro

Honestly knuckle clawing a Darmoshark M5 might suit you well. 

M5 air is like $100 but I got my M5 pro for around $50 on AliExpress

Build quality was great on mine apart from the horrendous click wobble, just wasn’t the shape for me sadly

My darmoshark m5 air just came in today (also put a lot of time on the m5 pro previously which is the same shape) and I love it with 20x10 hands. It looks like as well as hand size your fingers also have a bit of width to them like mine so the height of the sides is really nice on it compared to how low most g wolves mice are. The m5 air has amazing build quality and actually on my unit too. I found mine on AliExpress for under £70 ($100 ish) so it’s not badly priced either for a carbon mouse.
