If youre actually palm gripping with smaller hands, i think EC3-CW or Pulsar x3 will feel way more natural than going back to another Superlight

I cannot perceive a difference between these 2, the last few days i’ve been using an EC3-CW cause of wrist pain, and it feels just the same as my many other 3950 mice, even a 3310 is perfectly fine for me. There’s absolutley no reason to upgrade solely because of sensor if it’s a 3360+ especially.

Closest would be the zowie ec3-cw and old vaxee wireless mice that weights at 70+g

Mchose a5 v3 basically a smaller version of the a7 which is mchose superlight clone, ec3-cw is also good for her hands I have 17x10 and I can palm it but my index and pinky are over the edge of the mouse buttons.

Well most mice nowadays have similar performance to each other there are high end mice that have better performance but it's something you won't notice. Anyways I recommend the op18k v2/XM2 8k, pulse fire haste 2 wired, deathadder V3 wired, ec2-cw/ec3-cw

Give an info about your hand size and grip style I'm currently using the ec3-cw / dw and superlight 2c one is an Ambi and the other one is an ergo I have small hands of 17x10 and my grip style is relaxed claw/pincer. I prefer using the ec3 shape for tac fps because I feel very stable in ergo while the superlight 2c is for moba and fast paced shooter

E1 is a small to medium size ergo the length is similar to the ec3 but it has a hump height of the ec2.

Check out mice with optical scroll wheel encoders it's usually has better longevity than mechanical encoders. Mice with optical scroll wheel - zowie c series, g502x/basilisk v3, leviathan v4, keychron m6.

Check out the steelseries prime / prime mini wired the mini is lighter tho Zowie c series mice - they're on 70+ weight but zowie discontinued it so chances are you're going to buy a second hand unit

Was going to comment this but decided to see if someone did it first. Zowie's EC2-DW is just insanely comfortable. I have both the DW and the CW. Started with the CW model and when I found out about a lighter mouse with the same exact shape, I decided to instantly buy it

I've only used the cw but discounting the weight I prefer the shape of the ec2. Its a little less hand filling and I feel my aim is better but there's nothing in my performance with it. If you can get a cheap xlite though I'd take that. The difference in price just isn't worth it imo.
