Looking for a good palm grip mouse for left-handers playing CS:GO

[TS1997]

Hello!

I'm currently looking for a new mouse that's good for gaming and left-handers. Even though I'm left-handed I use the same button layout as a right-handed person and therefor the Razer Deathadder left-handed edition isn't for me. I mostly play CS:GO and I use the palm grip.

I've looked at Steelseries Kana V2, Roccat Kova+ and Steelseries Sensei Raw. How good are those? In which order are they placed ordered by how good they are? Is there a better one in the same pricerange? I've read about jitter using the kova+, is this fixed yet? Is it fixable by changing some settings? 

Thanks in advance!

i want to know this too. i am also a lefty and use the left button as primary just as the right-handers do. i currently have a razer mouse. but i want to know if there is something better out there.

You may think this sounds stupid, but as left-handed person using a mouse right handed myself, have you considered learning to use a mouse right handed?

Obviously it takes some getting use to but it comes with many benefits..

That would be pretty hard and I'd prefer to find a good mouse to use with my left hand. It doesn't have to be a left-handed mouse, a ambidextrous mouse would work to as long as it's good enough for gaming.

as a leftie i can tell you that that is almost impossible. not only do i have far from great hand eye coordination with my right hand, you also need to game with your left hand on the keyboard, so it is a long learning curve.

Zowie ZA series.

Kana V2 would be the best performer out of those, but you might have to use the tape trick to lower the lod if that bothers you, Sensei Raw is using A9500 with its variating CPI during Motion("acceleration"), which may or may not bother you, Kova+ is using 3305 with the 0.5x lens, so you need to use 800 or 400cpi to avoid jitter, however it suffers from low fps and a slight amount of anglesnapping.

 

But none of those can be considered Palm grip mice for most people given their size, the beforementioned ZA might work(i personally consider it a claw grip mouse due to its arc), however you cant use its sidebuttons as they are not rebindable, if budget isnt a problem i would actually suggest the G900.

Thanks for the help! This is really hard to decide. In the ZA series, what's the difference between 11, 12 and 13? The price is exactly the same in my country (Sweden). The G900 is unfortunately too expensive for me, I've already checked it out. Is there any other mice I should know about before trying to make a decision? When it comes to DPI/CPI I don't know what I want to use since I have a cheap "regular" mouse currently which as far as I know doesn't have changeable DPI/CPI.

How is the Roccat Lua compared to the previously mentioned mice?

Do you know anything about gamdias mice? I can buy Hades and Erebos in my county which are ambidextrous. If one of those are good and the best of the mice mentioned in this thread, should I go with the optical or laser version?

None of there stuff is any good, "except their Gloves, because those cannot break" © Epsilon esports 2013, not to mention that the FW of their Products is crap.

 

It would actually be good to know where you are buying from, just to see your options.

Okay, that's good to know. I can buy from the following websites:

 

http://www.maxgaming.se/

https://www.ginza.se

https://www.inet.se/

https://www.komplett.se/

http://cdon.se/

http://www.siba.se/

http://www.elgiganten.se/

http://www.mediamarkt.se/

https://www.netonnet.se/

http://www.clasohlson.com/

 

If you check these websites and see the swedish pricing my budget is 500 sek.

 

Thanks in advance!

Another question, how does the Razer Abyssus 2014 stack up against the previously mentioned mice? Also, if you have the time to help me but don't want to look through all those websites I'd prefer elgiganten, siba, mediamarkt, inet, komplett or netonnet.

I've now found another interesting mouse. Is the EVGA Torq X10 good?

I'm thinking the G900 will end up being the best left handed option.

 

Learning to use your other hand isn't so hard. I'm right handed and use a left handed mouse (wrist pain in right hand side caused me to switch sides). Also see switch pitchers in baseball.

A Razer Taipan might be good if you're looking for a comfortable palm grip for left handed/ambidextrous use, but some people say it has problems with the liftoff distance affecting the sensor. I haven't noticed this yet though, since I usually don't lift my mouse to much. Otherwise, it's a great mouse and you should check it out.

Thanks for the help everyone! One last question. Is the EVGA Torq X10 any good? Also, how does it stack up against the previously mentioned mice?

 

Thanks in advance!

pretty much all SteelSeries ambidextrous mouses are good

I personally love the original Sensei
