This shape is so good I got myself a MX 518 Legendary in 2019 and still have it.
I have the original Mx518, its probably 15+ years old. I'm hardcore gamer, i have 25K hours in War thunder alone, years of mmorpg's and shooters. Still going strong and no issues with accuracy. There is a new version of Mx518, and its only \~35$ might worth to give a check.
Simmilar problem 6"6 also big hands but i use palm grip insetad claw so my hand is furhter down the mouse i can only recommend that or change mouse, i very dont like this mouse it had also bad rewievs but i was buying logitech since 1990 so i tought after MX 518 v2 it can be bad oh boy i was so wrong.
Actually, that isn't what I want. What I want is a brand new mx518, but I just refuse to pay like $150 for a $50 mouse - and that hero sensor has been around half a decade Newer doesn't automatically = better, especially with mice
Although its a G5, I really hope they bring back MX518 back. I should've bought 10 when Legendary Edition released and not 1. I hope they do a wireless one.
Try looking for a sealed MX518 on ebay or an online seller. Might be your best option.
Too bad that they scamed people with the 518 remaster with a big downgrade on quality
I had a MX518 for about 10 years before the scroll wheel finally crapped out on me. Still the best mouse I ever used. I bought a MX518 Legendary to collect years ago, it's still in it's box.

My best advice for you would be to grab a MX518 Hero / MX518 Legendary. Those are nice, i have 2 of them. Not my shape but the hero sensor is obviously good & the build on them is quite decent. Picked them up on launch 2019/20 (don’t remember) for 30$ / piece, returns or smth.
It’s also going to be really bad if you’re looking to game. I recommend mx518 hero, it looks just like the OG, only it has the hero sensor. They even kept the garbage black layered feet on the mx518 hero. It’s the same.
