I used a Razer Deathadder Mini V2 for several years but it was a little too small (although still usable). I haven't found a mouse that's exactly the right fit but my Logitech G502 X works quite well and has some ergonomic shaping. I did add some grip tape to it to keep my hand from sliding around too much on it. It's wired because I find wired mice are more responsive. For my keyboard, I have a Logitech G915. I looked at compact keyboards but there were none that appealed to me & had the functionality I wanted. I find it's not bad for typing. For gaming, I played a lot of Diablo 3 and now play a lot of Diablo 4. The standard keybinds for skills are 1 2 3 4 5. For years, I've bound them to Z X C V B instead (even on my old keyboard), which is great because Space is your dodge in D4. It allows me to rest the heel of my hand on my wrist wrist and keep my fingers on those keys without hovering or accidently hitting other keys. I recently added grip tape to those keys as well, making them easy to find even when I'm not looking at them. This setup saves me so much frustration and keeps me from straining my hand/wrist/forearm muscles - a big consideration for me as I'm in my 50s now.

oh sorry, yeah, the shapes still the same, its just the first DA that came to mind, forgot theres 4th xd i mean i would still go with the EC, esp if you do like the coating, if the coating is still the same as the DA V2 mini , than that thing slides a ton (although that probably wouldnt be a problem for palm grip, im using myself as refference but in reality im fingertip person XD) also keep in mind that the DA comes with their wonderful bloatware of a software, the simplicity of controls on EC1 is so priceless, i would prefer a plug and play mouse rather than using razer SW anyday lol

yeah that might be a quality control issue, mine DA v2 mini came with rattling side button, i didnt return it, i was too lazy to have the hustle with it, i just put tape over it and it stopped rattling lol it seems like their QC is still trash, unbelievable xd all in all, go for the wireless zowie, its prolly gonna be much better

Razer mice are working very well with linux. You can use [https://polychromatic.app/](https://polychromatic.app/) to manage also RGB and other settings for Razer devices. I use the Deathadder V2 mini for years.

My deathadder v2 mini is 5 year old now and does not show any signs of double clicking or anything abnormal even with daily use. Even if the switches will surrender i will just replace them and use it, because its nice in hand. I can't grab normal sized mouse anymore haha.

Small ergo you can palm ot because you have small hands and also fingertip it's lightweight and nimble ergo like the dav2 mini.

Dav2 mini or xlite v3 mini the dav2 mini is a tiny ergonomic mouse not sure if it's available in your country, while the xlite v3 mini is similar to the dav2 mini size wise but it's wireless.

Ec3-dw and superlight 2c Sold my dav2 mini because of the mushy clicks (I regret selling it now that it's no longer available in production) I stopped using my Ambi mice collection and main the superlight 2c it's basically my endgame symmetrical mouse and what I wanted for a mini superlight 2 The only thing I don't like about the superlight 2c is it doesn't use optical scroll wheel encoder like my zowie mice, second I wish Logitech use a simple dongle storage like the dav3 hyperspeed instead of the magnet circle type dongle storage.

Zowie ec3-dw and superlight 2c. I had the Dav2 mini before I actually like it then moved to the ec3-c I feel more stable and it's definitely bigger than the dav2 mini also it has a coating so your hand will stick on that mouse
