You can find the Xtrify MZ1 wired on Amazon for like $30. Its the mouse that convinced me F-tip grip was worth trying. Its a bit older and heavier, and imo requires BeardedBob's non-destructive weight reduction mod to fix the balancing. Edit: to find out how, search "MZ1 wired teardown BeardedBob" If you like it though, it'd be an easy direct upgrade path to the Fenrir series since they share a lot in common in terms of shape like the grooved mouse buttons
I also have large hands and have a hybrid grip changing from relaxed claw to fingertip to pincer claw.. currently track best with the Sony inzone mouse, it’s really good don’t sleep on it. Definitely interested in the tenz mouse but I do feel like I’ll be forced into a grip if I want to use the forward placed mouse 5 in game. Another mouse i perform really well with is the Vaxee xe. It would probably be my main mouse if I got the v2. The original is just too heavy to swap to and the clicks bottom out and grind a bit if I get heavy handed. If you haven’t tried the xe it’s great for relaxed claw if you like low buttons. The button height mushy side buttons and the terrible coating on the gpx is why I don’t try any similar button height mice ie all the ones you like. lol. My main fav mouse of all time is the Mz1 the narrowness and the deep finger grooves just feels right.. hopefully someone males banger clone.. my next mouse purchase will be the Logitech super strike to try the haptic triggers. I pray they fix the terrible coating. Take a look at the Sony inzone I highly reccomend it if you’re okay with a slightly wider mouse. The main clicks won’t be as premium as the Maya but it has the best silkiest coating of any mouse I’ve tried and I’m up there with you around 20ish mice. Cheers
I don’t even fingertip my mz1 anymore. I straight up claw it. I like the grip it gives like this
if you're OK with the fact that it's slightly outdated, the mz1 is very flat same with some of the other ftip only mice, like fenris asym, x2f..
Same grip and \~same hand size, started gaming long time ago with the first G502.. then when Logitech made G PRO (G305) shape.. I got the Prodigy one, G203 and used that for a long time. Looking for a lighter replacement I tried: \- XM1 (good shape, great coating, but slightly large, back hump too big, definitely worth trying) \- OP1 (way to narrow, not for me) \- All the Zowies, ended up using for a short time EC-3 (issue: no micro adjustments), ZA-13 (back hump too high) \- GPX 2.. not bad but for some reason can't find a good grip... also, slippery, sold. I'll try the smaller 2 C \- G303 SE, great if it wasn't so big (still use it regularly at work) but G305 has better shape. \- MZ1 awesome.. just unreliable and a liiiiitle bit too small. \- Viper Mini = No! \- G403 that hump's huge. Now trying Mchose L7 Ultra and G3 Ultra... You (me also) want a mouse small enough that let you do micro adjustments with your fingers, it also must have some support where that small palm part touch it. G305 is great at this because you can freely move the mouse, that slightly tilted sides let fingers grab it easily, and when you press it against your palm you have enough support. If I have to pick a mouse right now for the next years, shapewise G305.. Can't understand why Logitech have not yet released a superlight version and is milking with no end the GPX shape.. Think about not buying a mouse because a pro use it but buy it if it suits you, that's what counts.
The original G700 was nice in my teenage years, but isn't made anymore. So I went smaller because I couldn't go bigger. Ended up with a Cherry XTRFY MZ1. Well priced, does what it needs to do and feels comfortable after changing away from a palm grip. Only downside: the wireless version is a horrible light show while charging.
Xtrf1 mz1 , but I upgrade because of 1000hz/no optic switch for a magnésium razer viper mini signature. But to be honnest I truly want my mz1 with 8000hz/ optic switch and magnésium instead of my razer.
went from mz1 to op1 to v8 and cant complain ngl
Mouse - Terra, sometimes op1/x2h/mz1. obsidian red dots skates Pad - Saturn pro and gs2 only swap when one is busy drying from being cleaned. keyboard - k70 max rbg magnetic. Games i play elder scrolls online, battlefield games, fragpunk, valorant, cs2 and marvel rivals id say im above average at them some days not so good i have tendency to keep playing rank until i get to rank below top then lose interest in rank i get to imm3, supreme master first class then just stopped prefer just playing more fun feeling games rather than serious like battlefield fragpunk and eso i did so much trying with different mice to see which I get best score with in aim trainers they are all basically the same top 5 were x2h, terra, op1, mz1 and mm711 most comfortable was x2h least was xm2 was over a long period
