I have a hand as big as yours and I have no problem with the sensei ten from steelseries. It's around 2cm longer than the one you are holding, so you shouldn't find any problems. Before that I had the older version of the logitech g403, but everyone is suggesting the g502, so I can recommend that.

I recently got the R1 Pro less than a month ago, and it's been giving me hand cramps after a couple hours of gaming. I thought it was because I needed to get used to a smaller, ambidextrous mouse so I tried working around it by resting in between games by watching YouTube and surfing the web. However, I've come to the realisation that I simply need a larger mouse that works for me. My hands are 20cm x 10.5cm and I use a relaxed claw grip. These are the mice I've used in the past: G403 Wireless: 2018 - 2023, was fine as a starter mouse I guess. Double clicked and my fingers created indents on the rubber coating. G Pro Wireless: Used it for 2 weeks in 2019, but sold it as I didn't love the shape and size. Mouse was too expensive for me to justify keeping something I didn't love. However, I did notice my Wingman flicks improved when I used the mouse so I kept the idea of trying another light ambi mouse in the back of my head. DeathAdder V2 Wired: 2023 - 2026. Loved the shape, but yet again my fingers created indents on the rubber coating which I hate. I just came back from a store to test out different mice and really liked the EC1-C and Superlight DEX. Not huge on the new shape in the DAV3 and DAV4, feels smaller than the DAV2 for some reason. However, I'm aware that there aren't any clones of the DAV2 except the Attack Shark V3 (apparently trash). And after looking on ELOshapes, it seems like the next closest things to the EC1 are the Intellimouse Pro (too heavy) and Glorious Model D (I find honeycombs gross). So I guess my best bet would be to look for DEX clones. I've currently narrowed my options down to the **Mchose A7 RE** and the **ATK Y9 Ultimate**, but I'm not sure if there's a clear "better" option between the 2. u/BeerGogglesFTW's posts/comments about the 2 mice have been helpful, but I'm wondering if anyone else has any input to add. Or maybe even another option to consider? Thank you! I'm from Singapore if that helps with suggestions :)

Yeah I noticed that as well! It's fully plastic now, which is a win in my books. After testing out the different mice in store, my shape preference right now is EC1-C > DAV2 > DEX > DAV3. Not sure why, seeing as they're all around the same size, but I was really hoping I'd like the DAV3 as it would make things so much easier for me. I was actually surprised I liked the DEX as much as I did, as I don't have a favourable impression of Logitech due to the double clicking in my G403, plus the fact that the DEX is actually smaller than the DAV2 and 3. But I have to admit that they did great with the shape of the DEX, and it weirdly felt better in my hand than the DAV3. Another pain point would be pricing, the DAV3 Pro is going for $134 right now in Singapore, but DEX clones like the A7 RE and Y9 are almost half the price in the $70 - $80 range. Plus the fact that I'll need to redownload Synapse LOL

I've got this one too, wireless model. And I actually never realized just how heavy it was until I went to a best buy and tried one of those ultra light perforated mice. I actually hate how they feel. mice that light feel extremely cheap and I much prefer a heavier mouse. So I agree, it's definitely all about preference.

The first true latency free wireless gaming mouse were the G403 Wireless and G900 from Logitech back in 2016. It went pretty mainstream, but wireless mice didn’t really become common in esports until the G Pro Wireless in 2018.

Also the G403 wireless was used by multiple pros across different esports.

Uh...are those Canadian dollars? Definitely return it. If you still want a mouse like that, you can get the original PMW 3366 lightspeed for $40 to $50, new open box. (it's $50 right now but he's had it on sale for $40 before). There are used ones cheaper, but I would avoid them as you have no idea about the condition of the plunger lever screw hole posts (which is the single weak point of all the G900 and G903 mice), and no one selling one will dare tell you about this! Double clicking used switches are not the problem--those can be easily replaced. It's the integrity of the screwhole posts that we care about. [https://www.ebay.com/itm/186680070520](https://www.ebay.com/itm/186680070520) The shipping is free, but you have to contact him to see if he would be willing to ship to Canada for a fee. The advantage of the PMW version is you don't have to use that abortion called Ghub. Logitech Gaming Software 9.02 x64 works great (avoid 9.00, there's a lighting bug with it). You also won't have to deal with Ghub asking you to update the firmware (7.0.9 is good, you want to avoid anything newer as debouncing was changed again, might make microclicking/micro drag even harder). If you're able to get that, grab a set of Honeywell switches (I would get 10 of them), and then bin them for click feel consistency, if you don't have some sort of 3d printed switch tester (i can explain how you can do that in the G903, without soldering, and with only two screw assembly (the lever) per switch), then find the two best switches and solder them, and these switches will be good for years. (i've had a set of these on my G502 for 5 years now). For the side switches (including two wheel tilt switches) under the mouse wheel, those are mini switches, much harder to deal with; use Deoxit D5 spray very carefully while pressing the plunger with a toothpick, to help with durability. Those side switches can be replaced but they are much harder as they are PCB mounted switches, rather than through hole. For reference, those are these: [https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/omron-electronics-inc-emc-div/D2LS-21/5031942](https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/omron-electronics-inc-emc-div/D2LS-21/5031942) The two for mouse wheel tilt seem to be a compatible size but seem to be not omrons. It is VERY Important NOT to overtighten the two mouse plunger lever screws at all, as mentioned above, that is the one weak point of the construction, watch that and you're good to go. I do not know if the seller ships these to canada, either. [https://www.ebay.com/itm/111931903417](https://www.ebay.com/itm/111931903417)

I have a Logitech G703 and before that I used a Logitech G403. I'm probably going to swap to a Redragon M693 for gaming because both of my Logitech mice flip out of even a single cat hair gets in them. I didn't realize that other mice didn't do that, and that I wouldn't need to spend so much time carefully using tweezers and trying not to scratch the mice up. The Redragon mouse is cheap and even though I imagine it has a lower polling rate, the ability to not need to clean my mouse every time my cat walks across my desk during shedding season is a huge bonus. Plus, it works as wired, with a dongle, or BT5.1, and the battery lasts pretty long from what I've seen thus far. It does have a higher liftoff distance than you might be used to, but I do not mind that.

Last one I bought was a G403 that I had so many issues with (scroll wheel, cable being thick as hell, heavy, etc ). I mostly lost faith in Logitech gaming stuff. Bought a refurbished G903 which I occasionally use on the go, but I don't find it comfortable for longer gaming sessions. And recently bought an MX Master 3S for work (perfect). Rocking a Vaxee NP-01, and it's crazy good.
