> my favorite mice have been the Intellimouse Explorer 3.0 and Intellimouse Optical. Yeah get the XD5
Lots of people here who either haven’t read the post or are very new. OP, go with the XD5, especially considering the quality and your shape preferences.
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
