Pulsar X2A and X2A mini. I think they also make lefty versions of some of their mice too.

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.

I have tried, Pulsar X3 LHD Crazylight Pulsar X2A Mini Vaxee XE-S L Razer Viper Ultimate If you want an ambi Mouse go for the X2A or the XE-S. The Viper is a bit outdated and the rubber on the side gave up on me. The X2A Mini is defo smaller than the XE-S and has a higher backend. But the XE-S feels more premium. My favorite is the X3. Ergo feels so good, its very light. Only thing I didnt like were the mousefeet, and the dots that come with it are completely shit. I used some Obsidian Dots and I am very happy with it. Tldr: Best: Pulsar X3 LHD CL. Premium feeling: Vaxee XE-S L

I second this! Great recommendations. Owned all 3 as a left hander, but settled on the X2A v3 ES from Pulsar. The Mini equivalent is indeed very small in the hands.

I am a left handed player who uses fingertip grip as well! I have tried both the Pulsar X2A and X3 LHD in medium size. I think it's personal preference, but I preferred the X2A as I like ambidextrous mice more. I ended up returning my X3 LHD back to Pulsar and am currently using the X2A V3. The X3 LHD is not suitable for fingertip grip in my opinion, but I think can work with claw grip. I also own the Pulsar X2A Mini. I wouldn't recommend it because I found it too small. We have similar sized hands and medium is perfect. If you are in Tokyo, go to the Pulsar store at level 7 in the Sofmap building in Akihabara and you can try the mice out in person. I was there today and they had the Pulsar X3 LHD there. You can also try the Pulsar X2 there, it's the same shape as the Pulsar X2A. Edit: I think the Pulsar mice are the best options for left handed players, but there are alternatives. You could try the Logitech Pro 2 Lightspeed or Razer Viper Ultimate. The Lightspeed is an updated version of the Logitech G Pro Wireless which was an excellent mouse and I really liked it. The Razer Viper ultimate is also a good mouse that I've used for quite a while. Both of these mouse can be used with fingertip grip. I think both of these mice are dated and are too heavy, so I recommend you get a Pulsar mouse.

I don’t really know if I have an endgame keyboard, but my endgame mouse is probably the one I’m using right now, the Bruce Lee Pulsar X2 Mini

Pulsar x2 mini has to be somewhere in the best lol, otherwise its flawed chart. Great performance and battery life with decent censor also.

I was on the fence about buying the Beast Miao after using the HSK Pro 4k, HTR Pro, and X2F beta. As someone who has always fingertip gripped, I was previously using the Pulsar X2 Mini and other "small but normal" mice and made it work. But when I moved to the HSK full time, things started working so much better for me. The Beast Miao is my favorite fingertip grip mouse because of its width, contoured sides, crazy strong construction, and weight. It'll be hard for something to replace this one, I tried the Fenrir Max and found it too wide for my liking.
