pls dont focus on the 8k polling rate , i have a 480hz monitor and 4k to 8k polling rate is like not noticable at all , but 1k to 4k is , 8k polling rate would do nothing other than draining ur battery since ur on 240hz , also i wouldnt recommend going too light , like the pulsar x2 crazylight mini which is 35g , ur aim might feel inconsistent since u have been using g pro for 5 years , stay in the 43 to 50 g . you could buy the beast x max with solid sides ( slit sides are uncomfortable ) , im using it and im happy with it
Right now the pulsar x2 crazylight prx edition. I wanna try at some point the op1 4kv2.
Had a Corsair m65 pro mouse, the mouse clicks ended up going bad with sever double clicking.. was unusable. I have switched to a smaller lightweight mouse, pulsar x2 crazylight (mini) PRX edition. Shape is pretty good.
Cs2 faceit 3k elo here - also had mine since summer. 0 issue's with the sensor on an X2 CL (mini i guess). My only issue is with the LOD settings. 1mm is not consistent for me on my EM-C and I think 2mm is too high. Would love more control over that setting.
Similar age to you, use a computer all day every day pretty much. For me the lighter the mouse the better. Using a mouse as light as you can get has helped out a ton with hand and wrist pain. There aren't really any light 5 button mice I know of though, well at least ones that are really recommendable. I would say forget the 5 button and go with a Pulsar Crazylight mouse. If you want an ergo they have the xlite crazylight: [https://us.pulsar.gg/collections/xlite-series/products/xlite-crazylight-gaming-mouse?variant=52101621875055](https://us.pulsar.gg/collections/xlite-series/products/xlite-crazylight-gaming-mouse?variant=52101621875055) or also the X2 [https://us.pulsar.gg/collections/x2-series/products/x2-crazylight-gaming-mouse?variant=52101461934447](https://us.pulsar.gg/collections/x2-series/products/x2-crazylight-gaming-mouse?variant=52101461934447) . You will have to sacrifice some buttons and infinite scroll but personally I think these are overall good trades.
Same grip as you. I also find the maya x a little too big. Crazylight mini would be my recommendation.
X2 crazy light or mchose l7
X2H crazy light or the superlight 2c
2c is a safe option also the x2 crazy light because it doesn't have a weird hump like the x2h
Razer cobra hyperspeed Op18k v2 X2 crazy light / mchose l7 if you want a budget x2 cl option. For mousepad what games do you play what is your preferred glide on a mousepad, speed, balance, control?
Op1w 4k v2, S2-DW, np-01s v2, x2 cl for relaxed claw grip
Fk2-dw, x2 cl, superlight 2c, vaxee xe-s, op18k v2
X2 crazy light small yes
Ec3-dw over pulsar xlite crazy light for me for op's hands I think the xlite cl will be good for his hands he might not like the extra size of the ec3-dw idk.
If you mean the small x2 cl big of change this mouse a lot smaller and have a nimble feel
X2 crazy light mini
I haven't tried this shape but I think it will be a good fit for 16cm hands your current mouse is big, heavy, and forces you to palm the mouse. With the X2 cl mini it's small mouse so you have better grip in this mouse whether claw/fingertip
Op18k v2 X2 cl mini / xlite cl Hitscan hyper light Deathadder V3 hyperspeed
Xlite cl mini / x2 cl mini Superlight 2c Op18k v2
Definitely too big get something like the xlite crazy light, ec3-dw or ec2-dw
Lamzu Inca and tenz are great but imo too full in hand especially the tenz mouse it's bigger than the inca the best choice here would be the x2 cl mini shorter length - easy vertical movement the wider sides of the x2 cl mini helps for stability and the hump isn't pronounced on the back so it's better for hybrid grip style
If you want pure fingertip grip, then go for it. If you have a 3D printer, print up the shapes (there is an online database of all the mice somewhere, use that to find the mice you're looking at and trial the shapes) and find out for yourself which one you want the most. If you still want the hump, then the Pulsar X2 mini is what I'd recommend (easily the best fingertip mouse I've ever touched, though I do use the hump as a rest when being lazy and browsing YouTube, not having it wouldn't be the end of the universe though). As far as grips go, it's honestly so hard to predict what you'll love and hate. Some people find the hump on the asym mice absolutely game-changing for all the right reasons. Others find it "game-changing" for all the wrong reasons. If you have the free cash (and no 3D printer) get both Fenris mice since you'll never know whether you want the asymmetric hump or not until you try it. Otherwise, I would recommend the X2F since it's taking an already amazing fingertip mouse shape (that's known to be unanimously amazing for everyone) and making it a pure fingertip grip mouse shape. It's definitely the safest option here. Personally I don't really find height to be all that impactful ngl, but do note that as the weight decreases, each gram becomes exponentially more noticeable. I mean holding 1 gram vs 2 grams is noticeable since that's a doubling in weight, so although the difference between a 130 gram mouse and a 100 gram mouse is not very noticeable, the difference between a 40 gram mouse and a 20 gram mouse is huge. That being said, shape is more important than weight, and if the shape is wrong for you, a 20 gram mouse will feel heavier (in the hand, plot twist our body doesn't use grams to measure the weight of objects, so the shape actually has more impact on the "felt weight" than the actual physical weight itself) than a 40 gram mouse if it's the wrong shape for you. So when it comes to the Gwolves mice you're gambling that they're the right shape for you. I mean nothing is stopping you from buying them, and there is a larger chance that they'll be an amazing shape for you than anything. But if you're pressed for cash and buying multiple new mice isn't in-store for you, the X2F is guaranteed to be an amazing shape and definitely the "safe" option.
If you can, go fingertip and get a Pulsar X2 crazylight (or crazylight medium if you think that you'd want it scaled up a bit and to try out claw gripping things). After getting a "too small" mouse with the intent of fingertip gripping it, only to discover I could still claw grip it just fine. I've realized that size isn't actually that important and only has a minor impact on claw or a major impact on palm grip styles. Like my fingertips were farther forwards than usual claw-gripping a smaller mouse, but after 3D printing up a ton of mouse shapes and scaling them up and down, I've discovered that you have to go to some EXTREME scales to actually prevent myself from claw gripping a claw-grip mouse. Of course if you can and enjoy fingertipping the mouse (or think you like claw, only for the mouse to always magically stop touching your palm after some intense aiming, a tell-tale sign that you're actually a fingertip main not a claw main) just get a good fingertip mouse (X2 crazylight small, Fenrir Asym) and size literally won't matter at all unless your fingers are physically wider than the buttons. Size only really matters if the buttons are too narrow for your wide fingers, or if the mouse is too short to touch your palm (and you're a claw/palm grip main). Alternatively, you could try an Egg shaped mouse, they're surprisingly universal size wise, even when claw gripping like in this image.

I got a vxe r1 pro today, really impressed by it for how little it cost.. I paid like $45 aud from aliexpress. I've had many different high end gaming mice like the maya 8k, pulsar x2cl, vv3 pro and this feels equally as good as any of them for 1/4 of the price.
Pulsar Crazylight in fingertip Light without holes, light clicks, nearly flat sides
Totally agree as a large hander, also consider very small normal mice, I comfortably fingertip the Pulsar Crazylight, Beast X, Zowpin Z1, and more without ever touching the humps.
