Looking for a new mouse.

So my RAT 7 has a broken macro button for about a month or so, and i think it's time to upgrade!

 

I have large hands, and my grip is pretty unique, i go from finger tip(only fingers touch the mouse, while palm rests on mouse pad), claw and palm when i feel like it, the RATs low profile is good for all of them, one thing i like about it.

 

I have been looking into the G500s, Func MS3, any thoughts?

 

Budget doesn't really matters as here everything is 3-2x expensive, and i'm considering to buy a mouse from ebay, giving me a very high budget.

 

And if possible, i do like a sleek design, no fancy lights, or weird shapes (or razer)

 

Thanks for the help!

I have the steelseries sensei raw and it is rally good. It is conformable and not flashy.

I really like the g602 and the g600, im not sure if you are like me where the rat is nice but it lacks buttons. The g700s is pretty sexy as well but its a bit more expensive, im not sure if you have seen the EVGA mouse but that thing is beauty, im not sure when it is coming out but if you like it then i guess its worth the wait for it.

EVGA looks overkill when it comes to the quality of the build, who needs carbon buttons..

G400 is ok, but i had a G500 and the cable broke on me.

 

Sensei raw looks good, i will look into it more, the thing is how will it fit my large hands.

G602/600 have to many macros, i need only 3 tops.

I have a G500 and love it. Hate using every other mouse when I am at school for example. I had a G5 before it, which still works! I just gave it to my younger brother a few years ago and I got the G500. The fact that my 7-8 year old and VERY battle tested G5 is still alive and working 100% perfect really goes to show how good Logitech gaming stuff is! If you like the feel of it in your hand, buy it.

I will try the feeling of the G500, it's laying in my boxes of old junk for a year or two, i just think i will take the 500s if i would like it as i did before

Yea, if you are buying a new one just get the s, but if you have a g500 laying in a box, why not just use that... is it broken or something? The 500 and the 500s are the same things pretty much.

Can only get the M65/95, some reason the 95 is 10$ cheaper than the M65, should i go for it even if i have no need for the amount of buttons?

I would definitely get the M65 over the M95. You could also consider the Logitech G400s. Similar to the G500/s, but with a better sensor.

Whats not optimal about it? i use a laser sensor with no issues in gaming.. sensor is the least of my worries, imo comfort is the most important thing.

Comfort > Sensor for me too, but laser sensors are known to have acceleration and prediction issues, which makes your mouse movements/aim inconsistent. Most optical sensors do not have this.

Do you guys think the razer Mamba 2014 would be a good pick? it seems overall good for palm/claw, and cheaper than the Ouroborus.

Ouroborus is pure overpriced crap. The Mamba 2014 is better though. You could also check out the Steelseries Sensei wireless. The logitech G602 is really good too, and has a great optical sensor and over 250 hours of battery life.

Don't like it's look, was also looking into the older G700, is it any good?

The G700 is just as good, but the coating is slightly better on the G700s.
