Mouse recommendations

[Kendragon]

Gaming mice. Preferably laser and wired mice. Black/Silver in color, LEDs don't really matter for me that much and my hands aren't that big. I never really used any buttons on mice but they might be helpful. Also the drivers need to be updated for Windows 10 (Home). I was thinking of going ROCCAT Kone XTD. Any recommendations or suggestions? I will reply with more information if needed. Thanks.

Laser sensors are inferior to optical for gaming, because they don't provide 1:1 tracking.

 

You can find much better mice that cost less than the Roccat Kone XTD.

 

This video will help you know what to look for when buying a mouse.

If you palm grip, the Logitech G403 and Razer Deathadder Elite are new and good options.

If you claw or fingertip grip, the Logitech G Pro and Nixeus Revel are solid.

 

Of course there are a lot other decent options out there, with different sizes, shapes and features. If you answer the questions from the video, we'd be able to give you a more exact suggestion.

1. 16-17 cm from middle finger to wrist, 9 cm from thumb to edge

2. I go with palm grip

3. I usually play a game called Pangya (it doesn't use the mouse hardly at all), Minecraft, and I'm going to buy and play Overwatch with my new PC. Other than that, I don't know what games I will play.

4. I am thinking of going more competitive but not overly competitive on Overwatch.

5. $40-80 USD

I hope this helps.

How about the Logitech G Pro Wired mouse? It has pretty similar dimensions to my current mouse and I find it comfortable.

Your hands are pretty big and Logitech Pro would be definitely to small for you to hold it with palm grip.

Here are some mice that would be good for you:
CM STORM  MASTERMOUSE PRO L

COUGAR Revenger

ROCCAT Tyon

Logitech G502

SteelSeries Rival 300
Tesoro Ascalon Spectrum

Logitech G403, Razer Deathadder Elite (not Chroma), Mionix Castor, Steelseries Rival 300 should be fine for  your hand size and grip and are nicely balanced offerings. The first two are new models and you might not be able to find them in some stores, but they have pretty much the best sensor available.

 

If you are looking for a mouse with a lot of buttons, the Logitech G402 is a very solid offering considering how cheap it is right now.

A good all around mouse with a lot of buttons and features is the Logitech G502, but its main drawback is its weight, hence no pro FPS player uses it.

 

All mice I've suggested won't let you down in performance, despite some having technically better sensors than the others.

Of course, I strongly suggest going to a store and trying out the mice.

It's more oriented toward claw and fingertip, but you might be able to get a comfortable palm grip with it considering your hand size. We can't say for sure if it will be comfortable for you, you have to try it. Other than that, it's a very solid mouse.

After closer inspection of how I grip my mouse, I think I use Fingertip grip.

[michalj82]

With your hand size you'll hold all of these mice with fingertip grip.

What about the Logitech G Pro? As Pandalf said it's more oriented towards fingertip/claw and you said that it was too small for palm.

[michalj82]

With your hand size it would be too small. Maybe check this mouse: https://www.dreammachines.io/products/dm1-pro-s-optical-gaming-mouse-3360-sensor

Not really; he doesn't have large hands. Might be able to palm grip the G Pro just fine.

My hands are slightly bigger than yours and I own a Logitech G700s and Logitech G403.  I have also used a razer deathadder chroma as I bought one for my brother a while back.  The Deathadder and the G403 are big mice and I use a palm grip for them where my finger tips still dont extend off the edge of the left and right clicks.  I claw grip the G700s because of its shape and button layout.  I use these as a basis for comparison since most best buys (or similar) will have at least one on hand for you to test out your grip on.

 

The Steel Series mice will be a bit smaller than the Deathadder and G403, and might fit your hand better given your grip style.  Steel Series also has a great variety of laser and optical sensors.  Also, a quick note on optical vs laser sensors.  Unless you're really going for the most optimal performance possible out of your hard plastic mouse pad, don't limit yourself to laser sensors.  The only difference that I have ever heard of between laser and optical is that optical works slightly more efficiently on soft mouse pads which are more common now-a-days, and laser is slightly more efficient on hard mouse pads.

 

Good luck, and may your K:D ratio be ever positive!
