EGG XM2w 4k or XM2 8k are s-tier. They feel so fricking good to play with.

Viper v3 pro would probably be fine, but it's definitely big. You might be more comfortable on a lamzu Maya, egg Xm2 or op1, or hitscan hyper light. People rave about zowie as well, I just don't know them well enough to recommend a specific model. People also love Scyrox, except some people complain that they do not implement the sensor very well. I would investigate more. It might be a great choice for you. One key thing to know is that every single mouse these days uses the same 2-3 sensors and 2-3 processors. Those sensors and processors have a baseline capability, so really performance on mice these days is just a non-issue. Some companies create firmware that works better than others (hence why people complain that the same sensor feels worse or better on one mouse than another), but ultimately the most important feature is *shape*: How it feels in your hand, how it feels to move on the surface of your mousepad. Also, consistent reports and reviews of good build quality is important. Research is the best way to find what you like! I personally ordered multiple and kept the one I liked the most. Just make sure where you're buying has good return policy if you do that.

I have big hands, slightly bigger than yours and almost exactly the same grip. I have a Viper v3 pro but I prefer and main the XM2 from Endgame Gear. The shape is S-tier, you won't regret it.

you seem to be a few years late. there are now the xm2 8k, and the op1 8k, and op1 8k v2(which i would consider as the best mouse) the thing about a cable is that many people are bothered by them, and on ultra light weight mice(<30g) you can tell that the cable is there. and for low sens players, it also bothers them as you can feel the cable move during fast flicks. source. i used to use really low sens(55cm/360) and i removed the battery from my vxe r1 se as it was shit. and the cable is super flexible, and it didnt bother me, but during fast flicks, it would. now that i use a moderate sens(32-37cm/360) it doesnt bother me at all. and why use a wired mouse, when wireless mice can now weigh 35g and have decent battery life with minimal input latency

The gpx isn’t a good mouse for the price at all. Go for the end game gear xm1 or xm2. They are pretty wide and the side curvature is pretty good for 1-3-1. It’s a little cheaper than the gpx and on Black Friday it’ll be even cheaper

For sure, XM2 is definitely the way to go if you have larger hands. I see people talk way more about the OP1 8k than the XM2 8k, I don't know if most people have small hands or people just like really small mice, but I find the XM2 far more comfortable.

They have very low latency, not many mice can match them. However, the shapes aren't for everyone.

I have an XM2 8K, clicks feel good, build quality also feels very good for how light it is, haven't had any trouble with the sensor or scroll wheel. The mouse is wired, but there is also a wireless version of the same shape, unsure if it goes to 8k polling though.

Yup, to be honest I don't even use 8k, mostly use 2-4k depending on the game I'm playing. The shape is amazing for claw, even for me and I'd say I'm on the smaller end of medium sized hands.

I would maybe recommend a op1 8k or xm2 8k (depending on your hand size) with a lighter cable and maybe base mod

Op1 8k and xm2 8k are best wired mice available

You could get an op1 8k and Pulse mod kit from PMM or could do op1 8k and xm2 8k to try both shapes. Def the best wired mice I know of.
