If you like the mid size mouse size and enjoyed the g502. Viper V3 Pro, Lamzu Maya X and Harpe Ace 2 are all flagship mice that you will not go wrong with. They are in the same size range and have a bit of shape and curve to them with a mid hump. They all have great click feeling and coatings with the Maya edging them out for the crispiest main click feeling. If you go down a deep rabbit hole you can branch off the gpro superlite and viper v3 and start looking at Chinese clone mice to save 50 or dollars but that would require you kinda know what shape you already like then you will end up with 20 plus mice after a couple years like most of us. If you have Best Buy near you go check out some display mice in person if not then you can’t go wrong with one of the 3 I recommended. Good luck

Yeah it happens, best coating is on the Harpe ace 2 and it’s a bit more nimble then the viper v3 having a bit more of a slope on the butt. So you can easily use many grips.. viper probably the safest of the 3 and the Maya will have the crispy clicks and lowest weight. You will enjoy any of them if you want to go with a different mouse I’d go with the Rawm levitation v4. Inspired by the viper and I’ve heard nothing but good praises about it

18x10 - relaxed claw here. I just bought V3 pro and Harpe II together to see which one fits me best. I really wish the Harpe could fit my hand properly, because I love many of the caracteristics of this mouse (web config, BT, 8k small dongle, etc), but there is something very very strange with my hand that doesn't occur with V3 pro: I'm unable to rest and grip naturally my pinky finger on the side of the mouse. This thing is driving me crazy! The two mice look almost identical, but the shape of Harpe II feels uncomfortable under my hand, it feels like a overly-chubby mouse with a narrow grip. V3 pro fits me perfect! So, be careful and try the shape because it is not the same as the V3 pro

Couple of months ago my model O's scroll wheel's peg axel snapped when in slite rage I slammed it on the desk, went on a search for a new mouse and now I'm a glad owner of harpe ace II, I was planning to buy the extreme version but when I started to dig deeper, I found out that the "II" is a newer model from extreme (even tho cheaper materials, it is more polished and fixed most weaknesses that the previous models had). I'm not here to brain wash, my initial first pick was razer deathadder V4 pro, but I greatly hesitated due to past experience with the software (which is way worse compared to armoury crate, which the ace II doesn't even use anymore...)

I love the Lamzu Maya X personally, though I do know that the Scyrox V8 is also an amazing claw grip mouse. Although it's possible that Razer has changed, I've gone through 7 warranties with 7 Razer products and after such a consistently unreliable experience I can't recommend anything Razer anymore ngl. Asus also makes some epic mice too, the Harpe 2 ace is pretty nice as well.

Same hand size but slightly different grip: I like a more open grip, so my pinky is where your ring finger is and rung finger is farther forward on the mouse almost touching pinky finger. For my grip style the Kysona Uranus Pro is absolutely locked-in. It has a little nubbin on the front right side that I hook and pull back on with my ring finger, and push forward on with my pinky finger. However that won't work with how aggressively you like to curl your ring and pinky fingers (I've been training through years of Cello practice to always keep my fingers relaxed and slightly curled, so I find it incredibly uncomfortable to grip mice the way you do since I've developed different muscles in my hand). If you're happy with a more open and relaxed grip however (hurts if you have a tendency to over-grip your mouse, though the pain will teach you to break that bad habit). Defo give that mouse a shot (or the Pulsar X2 mini, I do the same thing with hooking my ring finger around the front of the mouse). The Maya X is either a carpal-tunnel claw mouse (not pincer claw) or a 1-3-1 pincer claw mouse (I rest my ring finger on the top of the lip next to the rmb, and push down with my ring finger since it's not actually pressing the rmb, actually extremely comfortable and absolutely locked in). However when I try to grip the Maya X with curved fingers like you do, it actually feels extremely locked-in with perfect sensor angle alignment and it doesn't torque to the side if you over-grip the mouse. Though I do find that uncomfortable of course, not sure if it's because I find curling my fingers like that uncomfortable, or if it's because the Maya X is uncomfortable to grip like that. I do grip the ASUS Harpe 2 Ace in an almost identical fashion though. Still my fingers are a little more open and relaxed, however they're almost as curled in as yours are and I do actually find that incredibly comfortable on the Harpe 2 Ace. It has a deceptively long butt that means you grip it far enough back where the middle of the hourglass shape is far enough forwards to reach it without too aggressive of a finger curl. So the Harpe 2 Ace might actually be right up your alley. However, from all reviews online, and trying out 3D printed shape-testers: The Mchose G3 series of mice might actually be perfect for you. Egg shapes (and the elusive diamond and cheese wedge shapes) accommodate claw-grip perfectly as they kick your pinky out farther than your ring finger, and also "snuggle" into the palm of your hand as you grip them. Unlike hour-glass shapes which scoot away from the palm of your hand, and also kick the ring finger out wider than the pinky. Although I do like hourglass mice for fingertip grip, I don't like them for claw grip unless they have a feature I can use to counteract their anti-claw tendencies (like the Uranus Pro nubbin, X2 mini front corner, Maya X rmb ledge, or Hape 2 Ace's long butt). So I would definitely recommend looking into non-hourglass shapes for claw grip (especially pincer claw, carpal tunnel claw is less sensitive to hourglass shapes but pincer claw is very sensitive to hourglass shapes).

I can vouch for the Harpe II ACE, been using it for almost 6 months and it hasn’t degraded in any way so far. Everything still feels new

I’ve been going back and forth with the viper v3 pro Harpe II ace and GPX. The Harpe ii ace is a mix between the 2 shapes, closer to the viper v3 but it had less aggressive shap features. I think Harpe ii ace is a good buy

I bought mine today. It was on sale for 99.95€. After using it for about 5-6 hours, I am very satisfied. I own a G Pro Superlight 2, Superlight 2c, G502X and a few other Logitech mice. The 2c has been used mainly for CS2 and the G502X for everything else. This Harpe 2 Ace may replace the 2c (and maybe even the G502X) completely, but time will tell. Harpe is much better than the regular Superlight 2, but compared to the 2c, it is difficult to choose which is better. I like the size and feel of the 2c more, but in everything else Harpe 2 feels better. In CS2 I like that the mouse is small and light, but in everything else I prefer a slightly larger mouse.
