Looking for a Claw grip mouse

I've been looking around the forum, the threads I've found have always had the palm grip. I can't seem to find much about claw grip mice, compared to palm grip.

 

From my wrist to my middle finger is about 7-7.5" and the width of my hand is about 3.5" in length. I don't have a preference to the weight of a mouse. But a back and forward button is important for me. Also budget wise doesn't matter for me at all.

 

Thanks for reading this :)

I feel for you man. Claw grip since the start right here, and I've always found that weird because I have smaller than average hands haha. My recommendation is something in the Madcatz RAT series. The sled attachment for the pinky and the ability to to angle the left side outward feels amazing for claw grip, allowing all the fingers to point downward but still allow the mouse to glide easily. It also comes with different attachments for the back, I use the raised one which is higher than the rest of the body allowing more downward angle. Regardless, its a highly customize-able mouse worth looking into.

 

You might see some reviews online talking about how the sensor get wonky, but I can assure you from first hand experience that if you regularly clean the sensor you should have no problems.

I actually tried that one in Futureshop today, I think a Rat 5, It felt a tad bit too long and seemed a bit unbalanced at the back.

My RAT 7 has adjustable length, can't speak for the 5 though, never had it in my hands, but hey nothing is better than experience so if you had it in your hands then you know

Good point. But still seems to be a palm grip according to images on google.

 

I just found the Cm Storm Spawn. Looks like what I want in a mouse.

 

I own one myself. One of the best claw grip mouse I've ever purchased. Just make sure to update its firmware to the specs you want.

Seems the Cm Storm is out of stock everywhere in Canada except possibly one place. 

 

Any other mouse suggestions?

CM Storm Xornet? It is a downgraded version of the Spawn but the shape is still the same.
