I was on the fence about buying the Beast Miao after using the HSK Pro 4k, HTR Pro, and X2F beta. As someone who has always fingertip gripped, I was previously using the Pulsar X2 Mini and other "small but normal" mice and made it work. But when I moved to the HSK full time, things started working so much better for me. The Beast Miao is my favorite fingertip grip mouse because of its width, contoured sides, crazy strong construction, and weight. It'll be hard for something to replace this one, I tried the Fenrir Max and found it too wide for my liking.
It is so strange: with a fingertip mouse I can play my best aim trainers / casual games: crazy reactions, absolutely mental shots here and there, almost all the time, as long as it’s just a casual match or DM. But in a competitive match, where there’s even a little bit of pressure or stress, my confidence can crumble fast and I start to whiff everything humanly possible.
With a more regular mouse the experience is just much more stable. The highs aren’t as high, but neither are the lows. And as is well known, once things start going badly and confidence takes a hit, it’s very hard to push through those moments and keep relying on your fingertip mouse. I’ve really tried to give fingertip grip time just now, and I love those random moments of brilliance it gives me. I’ve also spent a long time developing and fine-tuning my RawAccel curve to go with it, which supports the grip and brings some stability to micro-adjustments.
I feel there’s huge potential here. But it also requires me, personally, to always bring my A-game. This mouse type doesn’t forgive ANY mistakes the way a regular mouse does with more support.
I do think I will seriously try to main Fenrir Max for now. I've already used it so much, that grabbing a GPX starts to feel like a slow brick in hand.... But I still have my hesitations every now and then.
Been using the Fenris Max and now the pro. I'm not sure I'm sold on going lower and lower on the click height like they are. I honestly would like to see some bigger/wider ftip nice.
I didnt liked the asym for how it forces you to arch your fingers to the side. The max is much better because I can leave my fingers super relaxed.
The M5 is good but I only have the default one (modded). I can't say for the M5 air, but some people commented the execution to be bad, not much difference in weight to make the honeycomb design worth the hassle.
I have the original M5. Mine came with double clicking in both left and right click, and I had to set debounce to 9ms to make it stop. Darmoshark was very reluctant in sending a replacement (made me send 3 videos showing firmware and how bad it was, and their solution was simply add more debounce latency), so I decided to mod the clicks.
I wanted to cut weight just because I grip it very far on the back and I can feel the weight that way, but the Fenrir fixed my every gripe with it and it's so comfortable to use.
