Hello everyone. I recently bought a Mionix Castor and while I love it I feel that perhaps it is just a bit too big. It's not even that I have small hands or anything, it's just for years I gamed with this: 

 

http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Wireless-Mouse-M185-910-002225/dp/B004YAVF8I/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1456871006&sr=1-2&keywords=logitech+wireless+mouse

 

so now I just feel like mice are supposed to be small and light. I've been looking around and I don't really care for the G303's shape and then many of the other mice I was looking at are even bigger than the Castor I already own, like the Rival, Deathadder, Zowie, etc. So I was just curious if y'all had any  suggestions for super small mice. It's odd because I was looking at the different grips people use and I don't really palm grip, with the mouse it was like I had my whole hand over it and then had my palm resting on the mouse mat then floating for quick movements. Any help is appreciated.

G303 is good, Steelseries Sensei is also an option. If you don't need it to be a gaming mouse that opens things up a ton. There are some REALLY tiny Microsoft mice you can get very cheap. Something like this.

So I guess I'm a fingertip gamer cuz I broke out the old mouse and played with it and I never really thought about it because I thought my palm was on it but really it's like the top third of my palm plus my fingers. Never knew this about myself, just played what I thought was normal that everybody does but I guess that I actually grip my mouse different than most people do.

Thanks, but I think I've actually got it narrowed down to the CM Xornet II or the Razer Orochi because those have the all important side buttons/size dimensions. The only thing is Razer's offering is a laser sensor, but I mean does that even matter? Then the CM one has the  avago 3320 instead of the 3310 and again I'm not sure if that even matters in practical terms. Hopefully someone could explain

Hah I was in the same situation a while ago. Had been using the Microsoft basic optical mouse which is almost identical. 

 

Wanted an upgrade with similar size/ergonomics but vast majority of the good stuff are full sized or tiny cramp inducing laptop mice.

 

So few good mice that are in the middleground OEM size... 

 

Ultimately went with the Anywhere mouse MX. Although if you are getting it for gaming or competitive play, will be better off with the G303. 

 

Logitech really has all bases covered when it comes to mice.

 

Do let us know what you ultimately get. I'm always on the lookout for something better and this is a rare opportunity for some feedback that applies to me. 

Yeah dude, I'm doing this for all use hybrid fingertip/claw grippers out there! Lol, yeah, so I just bought the Xornet II and it'll be here tomorrow, then next payday I'm going to get the Razer Orochi 8200 DPI version. Amazon has a month long return window, so I'm going to do side by side comparisons, the whole 9. Whether or not latency is an issue with the Orochi, how it compares plugged in vs when its wireless, as well as the weight and shape differences between the Xornet II. I will keep whichever one ends up being the best for me and I'll PM you how it goes after I test both of them out in about a week or 2.
