Steelseries Rival 5, was a little hesitant at first but been using it for some years now. The coating started chilling recently but I haven't faced any other issues yet.

I also have a rival and bigger hands, and it's worked for me. The weight is perfect, but I agree that it's just a smidgen too small.

SteelSeries Rival 5. Honestly a tad on the expensive side, but it has served me well for years.

I have big hands, long fingers primarily. I do full grip as well so I needed a mouse that actually fits, not just claw grip. I use the Steelseries Rival 5 and I've been happy with it, could still be bigger but it is supported by steelseries macro engine which I use a lot.

Glorious Model I is a lightweight variant of the basilisk without the cool scroll wheel. Steelseries Aerox 5 and also Steelseries Rival 5 are also lower than 100g. but if you want a true ergo mouse without the thumb groove, then I need to know your hand size and also your grip style.

my first proper mouse was the Steelseries Rival 700 and after it died i moved to g502. its been 3 years with the g502 but rival 5 was the best mouse i had ever used considering i have big hands. but G502 now seems irreplaceable

Sorry this is gonna be long response but your problem is something I have explored for a while and am passionate about lol. I agree it's pretty frustrating to find light mice with lots of buttons. I also love mice with 6+ buttons. Besides the aforementioned Aerox line (or even Rival 5) from Steelseries, there aren't a lot of options as they all start pushing 100g. An alternative is the corsair m65 which has tilt gestures, or the razer basilisk, but these mice are still 100g There are a couple things you can do to solve your problem though. One is software related, and the other is ergonomic modding related. Software can increase your binds, while modding can make mice (feel) lighter # Software: Use button shifting/layering in software to increase the number of buttons you have available. The only companies that I know of that do this is Logitech (G-shift), Razer (hypershift), Roccat (Easyshift) and fortunately your Glorious mouse (Layer Shift)! Try playing around in your glorious CORE software to enable layer shift and then you can effectively double/triple your binds # Modding: Mod your existing mouse (or one you like with lots of buttons) to improve ergonomics and grip strength. This in turn allows a stronger hold on your mouse thus making it feel lighter. This is pretty much what I did when all the mice I liked were heavy but had 8+ buttons lol For example, I too love my g600 and use it for a lot of stuff. I took it apart to solder new switches and i found out it has 2 metal plates inside to add weight (absolute blasphemy!). I took those out and it reduced the g600 by 30g, so now it's only about 100g, which is pretty light by my personal standards. Then I added grip tape to the sides and a wedge for my pinky, then switched out the stock cable for a paracord cable and now the g600 feels like a lightweight dream to use. Consider Clawmates by Struth Gaming for comfortable wedges to put on a mouse with lots of buttons. I use clawmates on a spatha X and razer basilisk for competitive FPS games and they feel plenty good to flick and track with, even with their heavy weights Hopefully all this info helps. Happy mouse searching/modding, pal! #
