I swore off mice without full-size switches for middle mouse click as they just keep failing first. I've run Logitech for a long time and now got a Zaopin ZPW Max but that also failed on middle mouse button. Square switches are just shit and a matter of time before they break. After some research I decided to go for Darmoshark N7 Max as it has this assymetric ergo, palm grip friendly shape that I loved about ZPW Max. I was also looking at Endgame Gear OP1w v2. Smaller mouse, less of a bump but symmetric. Vaxee also uses normal switches for middle mouse button but I don't think price is justifiable with advent of Chinese mice that do the same but for a fraction of cost.

mm731, intellimouse, delux m900, zpw max, ajazz aj179 - i also have “piano player” hands and personally i feel i can grip ergonomic mice a lot better than even really big ambidextrous mice the m900 is like 30-40€ on aliexpress, worth a try

Great list. Can confirm ZPW is definitely a winner. One of my favorite shapes and I've owned a lot of mice. Great stock skates and build quality is decent. Love the blue colorway as well. R5 Ultra is decent as well. Shame the shape doesn't do anything for me and if I want to go small/medium I tend to gravitate towards my VXE mice. But yeah I'd personally put Mad R way further up as well as R1 Pro. Particularly if you get perfect copies. The latter having the better shape for me and my aim. Excellent list though man, really well written and done. Not seen one this extensive for recent budget mice lol. Btw you should try the Mad G as well, that mouse is amazing, one of my S tier. The clicks and shape are top tier.

I got ipi float and zpw max based on this. Ipi float is awesome. Zpw max has the worst scroll wheel that I have ever encountered. Scrolling feels heavy and ”sticky”. I love everything else about it but it’s bad enough that I never use it. Buyers beware. I’ll probably try scyrox next but this sub for introducing me to so many mice.

For sure you can find the Rawm all colours available at aliexpress. I’ve got blue one coming any day now. I can vouch for Mchose QC atleast. Tbh all aliexpress mouses I’ve bought have been at least on par with my DAV3 and Superlight. My favorite ergo so far has been Zaopin ZPW max but I have high hopes for ER21. Never tried superlight dex but I’ll for sure go for Mchose version if I do.

Comon..S+ ? ZPW has loose buttons and creeks within a week, V8 got a loose scroll wheel, X1 got creeks on the side, and how comes the Z2 mini is A tier while ZPW is S+ like Z2 mini build quality way higher, doing a tierlist for low quality products is pointless, just a gamble whenever your units are good or not.
