Fantech - Helios Go XD5

I'm going to make a suggestion that's *way* out of left field and most would consider subpar - the Fantech Helios GO XD5. From a performance perspective it's got fantastic clicks (Kailh 8.0) and a Pixart 3370, but a crappy battery life. Most reviewers have found the shape too small to be comfortable, but the company is Indonesian so it's understood that they're catering to a demographic with smaller hands. For some reason, my 19x10 hands absolutely ADORE this shape as a relaxed claw gripper, although I had to add some volume at the thumb position. It's going for $30 CAD on Amazon so about 20 USD. Just something to throw on your radar if you don't find anything else.

The fantech helios xd5 is pretty good. I recommend it, that finger support feels so good.

I hate when niche shapes are the most comfortable. I've been using my Fantech Helios Go XD5 for 4 years now, it's starting to creak on the sides but I can't find anything to replace it :/

I've tried many small ambi mice and found these to be my favorite: Lamzu Paro (aurora or regular\[has raesha switches which suck\]), Pulsar xlite v3( not sure if you can find this cheap so you might have to go for v4), and zaopin z2 mini. I also like the shape of the Fantech XD5 but I wouldn't really recommend that for the price.

The g303 is gonna be too big, i would check out the zowie s2, fantech helios (s2 clone), and maybe the xm2

You can get the fantech helios which is a s2 clone and cheaper

Was there a mouse that caused you enough pain that you gave up on it? I have 2 atm mice: zaopin z2 / fantech helios, the format of both of them pleases me, but the z2 makes my tendonitis worse, I've already switched between them, and when I have the helios this discomfort is almost completely reduced. Relaxed grip grip and my hand would say it's a medium to small size

aria and helios are their top tier mouse. I use the aria personally and its my endgame
