Looking for a new mouse

Hi guys (or gals), I am looking for a new mouse for my gaming PC. I have found the func ms-3 and it looks amazing. I am using windows 7 so I shouldn't have any of the driver issues. I have also looked at the g400s due to reviews of the g400 and the mx518. However, the g400s isn't out in the UK as far as I can tell. I like to fingertip grip mice so i think these two would be good for me. I also would like a mouse that is extremely responsive because my current mouse is wireless and, although it is very good, I do notice the lag sometimes. 

 

Does anyone have any mouse recommendations? Would appreciate the help. Thanks.

The MS-3 is not a claw grip mouse, maybe the razer naga or what not

I have quite big hands, so I'll check them out. 

 

I apologise, I fingertip grip mice (I'll change that), so I assume the ms-3 would be good.

 

Thanks for the replies :)

The MS-3 is pretty much designed for palming though. Wouldn't claw-ing or fingertip-ing just be silly on a mouse of that shape?

 

Also, I can buy something in america for you if you're willing to wait a teensy bit longer :P

If you look here: http://www.razerzone.com/mouseguide/ergonomic/fingertipgrip you'll see that the fingertip grip is very similar to a palm, and I think the only reason that I fingertip grip at the moment is because every mouse I have ever tried is too small for me to palm.

OOooooh yeah, my bad. Now you point me over there, it looks like that's what I do as well. I've heard good things about the steelseries sensei as well as snorre1349.

Doesn't look very comfortable, as good as it may be. The reason I was looking at the ms-3 is because it looks sooooo comfy.

I have razer lachesis mouse and razer lycosa keyboard and they both have problems. I would suggest you to stay away from this brand

Wasn't planning on buying a razer product (eek). 

 

The M65 does look good, luckily I have a friend who will be receiving one soon so I can try that out.

I am planning to get a M65 black. It looks really good!

 

As I say below this, I'm get a variety of hand sizes to test out an M60. This way you might get an idea of whether or not your thumb will reach the sniper button.

Yep, that's me. I'm probably going to make a video review or at least a review of it over here, so stay tuned for that. With my family and Jackbe's help, I can also get pictures of a variety of hand sizes. That would also be a good thing to do with the func MS-3.

Looking forward to some size comparisons of hands on the M60/65. I think I will have to palm it.

 

You might want to message me or something, if you can remember, by the end of June (that's when I'll have it). I'll either link you to the review, or you'll have to look out for it :P
