Read what the guy in the article says about the G400s here. http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-gaming-mouse/

 

Do you think it's true, or just some biased opinion?

Everyone has an opinion, everyone has different hands. I for one hate the G400 as it doesn't properly fit my meaty claws and I use a G600.

There's a reason why that shape has remained unchanged all these years. Do G400 and 500 use the same shape?

No, but they're similar.

Ah ok, so since the introduction of the G500 is 2009, that shape has remained the same today with the G500s.

I have a drawer full of mice.. Razer, steelseries, cm, corsair.. But my trusty favorite mouse is my G400s. Best feel and it was $19.99... I bought 5 that day for the price of one Razer.

Yeah, the G500 shape is awesome IMO. If they would make a optical version of the G500s or something, I'd buy it instantly.

Wow, that's a pretty nice price for such a product... Wish things where this cheap in Norway too, here the G400s is about 70$... Still cheap compared to the Razer mice here. The Ouroboros goes for 200$, but it's not a good mouse anyway. Do you palm grip btw?

I do a mix of palm / finger gripping. The mouse has a very certain feel to it, so giving it a firm palm grip feels natural. For me the "gaming mice" just feel foreign in my hand to where I know I'm holding a mouse. I have also been a LONG time Logitech mouse user. Was using the Logitech MX518 for many many years before the G400s and they have the same shape (pretty much same mouse)

Mamba 129, Ouroboros 139. Most fall at 69 which isn't to shabby.
