Hey, thanks for the suggestion! I tried a fingertip mouse from another brand before, but the left click felt way too stiff for me, so I returned it. Maybe G-Wolves will be better, so I’m planning to give it a try. I’ll probably end up going down the same road as you and buying 20 mice just to test them all lol.
Have you ever used a glass mousepad? I play a lot of FPS games, and glass pads feel insanely smooth to me. After switching to one, my Aim Lab Sixshot score went from 110k to 120k. The only downside is that glass pads demand a lot more mouse control, but maybe that actually makes them a good match for fingertip grip. Fingers are naturally really good at tiny, precise adjustments.
Edit: thought you meant fingertip only mice nevermind.
Gwolves might have some of the worst customer service out there.
But the HSK (and HSK2), Fenrir Pro, and Fenrir Asym are the perfect shape and size for small, medium, and large hands respectively.
There are a few other fingertip-only mice Gwolves makes, however they're a lot more niche and obscure so you'll instantly buy them no questions asked or go "huh!?!?!?" The second you look at them.
The software is meh, not as atrocious as Razer/Logi/Steelseries/Corsair/HyperX software, but also not as good as the new ASUS browser software (ASUS has had a glow-up from the worst of the worst software, to a brand new browser software that's actually better than Lamzu and Pulsar software).
The build quality is really good though, so fortunately the terrible customer service is usually avoided.
The owner/creator/founder is a mad-man. Good at making amazing and innovative mice, but at the expense of social decency unfortunately.
If you want a Gwolves alternative, you have:
WLmouse Miao.
Pulsar X2F (wait until V3, V1 has sensor issues, V2 is ok but significantly heavier than it needs to be).
Lamzu fingertip-mouse (unreleased, doesn't have a name, it's Lamzu so it'll be goated but damn it feels like we'll get GTA 6 before a new Lamzu release).
Kysona Uranus Pro (it's a bit tall for my liking, and a fullsize, but damn it's an amazing fingertip mouse and it's insanely cheap like just buy one and take a hacksaw to it and you're good in all honesty, I'm even currently procrastinating on making custom 3D printed shells for it cause it's so cheap but so amazing despite being cheaper than the budget hello-kitty mouse from my local stationary store).
If you want more info, here is a YT video and channel who is specifically a tiny fingertip mouse aficionado:

Darmoshark m5 / m3 micro and keychron m4 - cheapest fingertip mice you can buy
Gwolves hsk v2, Fenrir, x2f (v2 coming this year), beast x mini (g series coming soon) - these are the high end fingertip mice that I know
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.
Where are all these cheap fingertip mice on the market?
Keychron M4 is $40 for 1k polling, $55 for 4K and $65 for 8k.
G Wolves HSK Plus Light is $60 to 70 USD, with a last gen sensor and 1K polling. (still fine IMO, but not apples to apples)
That's ALL of the commercially available; wireless, ***fingertip specific***, gaming mice with decent sensors under $100 USD\* that I am aware of. Two shape options under $100, just two while being generous with the 'cheap categorization. Under $50 there is only one and it's an overspec travel mouse from a keyboard brand.
Between $100 & 200 USD the market has more options; Pulsar X2F, Gwolves HSK Pro and Fenrir models, WlMouse Miao and I think the ZeroMouse Blade comes in under $200 as well. These are priced in the premium range for gaming mice overall.
That said, availability is far from good even in the more populated premium tier or used on Ebay. Many of the mentioned models are often out of stock.
Total, excluding OptimumTech and very small bespoke makers, that is a grand total of what, 7 or 8 total shapes?
Larger than it was, but still a VERY small market unless you include mice than are friendly to fingertip, but relatively full sized.
*\*Yeah, that was a mouthful, but just trying to make a distinction between all the tiny mice that are super common, but not at all intended or spec'ed for competitive gaming, like the Logitech M317/pebble/ect.*
