I'm not really a hardcore gamer and I mostly stick to single-player games and occasionally Valorant. So I'm going with the MCHOSE A5 Ultra. I've checked the reviews, and it fits my needs perfectly. It's the only mouse at this price point that looks good, and most of the competition is either out of stock in my region or doesn't ship directly. Plus, I need it urgently since I just sold my Basilisk V3.

Mchose is pretty good stuff. My roommate hate the K7 and my best friend has the A7. The A5 is worth it

Depends on the style. I recently bought an Mchose A5 ultra v2 and it’s basically a superlight clone.

Interesting, you have 18 x 11 hands (in cm), that makes it easier for me. For claw, i can give 2 options depending whether you want full support (comfortable, rear hump that caters to your grip naturally and fills your palm for stability) or longer bodied mice for fingertip adjustment (centre or back minimal hump, but relies on fingers to adjust aim) Palm filling for stability: Lamzu thorn, WLmouse strider, Pulsar TenZ signature edition, Endgame Gear XM2/ XM2W, Pulsar X2N mini, Mchose L7+, Sony INZONE Mouse A Fingertip reliance, centre hump: Lamzu maya, WLmouse beast X (not mini or max, X is fine), ATK F1, Hitscan hyperlight, Mchose AX5 ultra These are options that have both super nice designs and caters to your grip the most. But i recommend the top half of my recs (stability) so you dont run into wrist issues or cramps when you grow up, youll feel much better using them and wont have to buy any more mice. Happy browsing!

Brother i also hate GPX's shape but i fell in love with Mchose A5 Ultra V2 (smaller GPX) If you like fingertipping it you'll love it

Ok so raw fingertip, the hitscan hyper light was option #1 for most (not me I hybrid fingertip and claw), the zero seems decent I feel but never confirmed. Mchose a5 was decent but still relatively long, 122mm I think, but in theory it's pretty good. And software can't really help Honestly buy a darmoshark m5/keychron m4/g wolves HSK lite first to see if you would prefer raw fingertip/lower click height. And browse eloshapes, finding mice with similar sensor position, side shape and length to the viper. Easier

Those actually might be a bit big. Unless you know you want that shape I would consider smaller. Of those two I would probably take the Mchose due to the Viper scroll wheel issues. But something like an Mchose A5 or the L7 ultra+ might serve you better.

All of those are not great choices. G309 and Orochi are old and heavy. Attack Shark X3 has fine specs but is made by Attack Shark which I would avoid. Mchose or ATK are generally the best options for good price while still being quality. Mchose A5 or A7 is probably a good option (A5 being slightly smaller) ATK A9 is also good. You can also look at more a Viper clone with the Mchose K7 or ATK X1. Or an Ergo with the Mchose A7 (RE) or ATK Z1.

Mchose L7+ series is similar in size to the VXE R1, though a little more setup for claw it can be palmed.  The Mchose A5 is maybe a little better for a palm grip if you want to give it a try.

Pulsar is good, but tend to be expensive for what  you get unless you can get them on a really good sale. Mchose A5 series isn't bad for a palm grip for a small hand. Superlight 2c isn't bad either but is more expensive. Lgg LA-1 isn't bad either and I think is still cheap right now.

Weight is more important than sensor, even $10 mice have paw 3395s these days. Wireless is better. Scientific studies have shown people perform better with wireless mice. And it doesn't matter as mice are dual or tri mode anyway and can be used wired if you prefer that. Software tweaks can make a difference, but again even extremely cheap mice have everything you need there. For medium sized palm grip, something like the Epomaker carbon X or Mchose A5 series (including the AX5) is probably best.

Solid agreement here. I'm glad you made the lowest tier C. Delux m800 ultra and mchose A5 are still good mice IMO, but eclipsed by newer releases.
