Do you find the Razer Deathadder 2013 shape to be comfortable? I was thinking of getting this mouse, but I'm not sure.

I guess I have quite big hands, medium+ I'd say. I like to palm my hand so that I have my wrist on the mousepad and my fingers are a bit "clawgripish" raised

I have a pretty big hands, and I also use a hybrid grip. The mouse was designed for the palm but it is very comfortable for me. I think it would be a good fit for you since your hand rests so far down, the mouse makes it feel like the base is distanced from your palm when you grip it which is good for some and bad for others. You rest your hand so it is below the hump of most mice so it should be good for you.

I'm kinda tempted by the Steelseries Kana v2 too. Seems really nice. Anyone here who has used both the Kana v2 and the Deathadder 2013?

I find the shape of the G700s and the Kone XTD to be very, very comfortable....I've been using the XTD for a while now, and have just gotten the G700s.

I have medium to small hands, and I really do not like the shape of the Deathadder. It may be that I'm just so used to how my naga feels.

thats kinda odd cause the naga is considerably bigger.

Really? I've always thought the deathadder was bigger. Is the 2013 different than the original? I use a half claw grip, and I love where my ring finger sits on that little raised part, and i love how the back isn't flush with the desk

I have used both. I prefer the DA2013. I have medium to large hands and palm grip it quite comfortably. Very nice right hand oriented mouse.

Physically yes Id say its bigger especially the new Naga 2014 which I much prefer for many reasons.

Which lots of people like, I always though it was just alright. The deathadder has a great shape, perfectly form fitting but I really do wish it had like one or two more buttons.
