I'm using a deathadder v2 pro wireless that I got for $5 2 years ago and spent 20 minutes fixing.

I have the Deathadder v2 Pro, Deathadder v3 Pro, Cobra Pro, Cobra Hyperspeed, and Viper v2 Pro. (And the Kysona Jupiter Ultra as my Viper v3 Pro clone) AMA

Look for an ergonomic mouse, like G502 series, Basilisk, or Deathadder, depending on weight preference. You can look for clones of any of those too. Deathadder Hyperspeed would be the Medium sized version, and the Pro the Large.

FWIW I see the 502 suggested for people with big hands but I find the actual width of the part of the mouse you grip is not very large. Lots of things to consider, but I’ve got 20 cm x 11 cm hands and have settled on the DAV3 wired version. I’ve found the mouse width and desired shape (symmetrical vs ergo) to be the most important factors when looking for a mouse. Other mice I’ve tried and liked include the ZOWIE EC2 (look into EC1), Razer DAV2 Pro, and Logitech g403/703. Good luck!

I have relativeley big hands, more wide than long, but enough that I find small mouses quite uncomfortable. For the longest time the Razer Deathadder was my absolute favorite and I am getting a good lifetime out of them, my wired one is nearing 10 years (now office mouse) and the V2 Pro at home is around 5. Especially on the later, the rubbery material on the side got erroded away quite a bit. And don't get me started about their crappy synapse software. Long story short, I am looking für a new mouse/mice and was hoping for recommendations for larger mice. The xlite V3/V4 Large look like a good choice, and I would have just bought one to try out but it just isn't available anywhere for quite some time now (DE). Edit: I forgot to mention, I am mainly a palm gripper, might switch to „semi claw“ from time to time in cs but generally palm.

Hi there, I started searching for a new mouse but I don't know what's good rn. I'm rn on Razer DeathAdder V2 Pro. I got palm grip. I can't measure my hand rn but if my memory is good it's 18cm to wrist and 12cm to thumb. My budget is around 70. Mouse must be wireless.

A refurbished Deathadder V2 Pro off of Amazon. The problem was I started getting more into mouse and keyboard gaming and lowering my sensitivities, which made flicking it around with my fat and heavy arm hurt my shoulder, so I got new mice. Mouse is still fine though and I still own it with now problems with the actual hardware.

To be honest, it was the shape and the weight. Although I use the MAD R more, the Deathadder still gets used if I'm just chilling, playing a chill game like the Sims, or if I feel like using it instead. The first mouse I had was by PickTech or some other Amazon slop that was mostly just for schoolwork with my Chromebook. The second mouse I had was the Deathadder V2, which I got refurbished from Amazon for $22. At the time, I hadn't had much experience with how I liked to hold my mouse with a more gaming oriented mouse outside of using them at the store sometimes. I loved the mouse and have used it for a while with it still working to this day. It is, however, well-loved as it has some glossy spots and flat rubber where there used to be ridges from my grip rubbing against it. I then switched to the Deathadder V3 because I was having arm pain flicking around the V2's heavier weight on Fortnite due to all the building. I got the mouse for $35 at my Best Buy and loved everything about the V2 so I figured I'd capitalize on the deal. At some point, I had a Rapoo VT7, which was a Viper V3 Pro inspired shape, but didn't quite like it due to the left side where the all the side buttons curved inward too much for my thumb. I ended up returning it to Amazon because the mouse just couldn't get comfortable and came slightly worn for some reason. I then went back to Best Buy and tried a Logitech G Pro 2 Lightspeed for the GPX shape and found the mouse to be just a little too boring. It sounds crazy, but it just didn't feel like it was a good fit for my hand. I returned it within a couple days and tried some more shapes at the Best Buy. At the Best Buy, I tried the Steelseries mice in my hand and loved the Rival 3 shape. Something about it just felt right and I loved how the front tapered in slightly. Despite loving it, there was no 60g-or-less variant of it and I didn't want another mouse that was heavy. After some digging around the internet, I came across the ATK-VXE-VGN MAD R and compared the shape across Eloshapes and found it to be almost exactly what I wanted. When it arrived, it was exactly what I wanted and is currently my final mouse.
