Razer taipan would be a good choice.
Hmm I didn't even consider that. How is it for sweaty hands?dat boi waffle wrote:

I'll also put that on the list to check out. But recently playing with the sensei i feel like the shape is not right for me. But at the same time my grip ever so slightly changed in the past 4 months.Paneiru wrote:
If you want something similar to what you're using at the moment, have a look at DM1 pro S or the nixeus revel which have approximately the same shape as the sensei raw (basically clones). I'm currently using the DM1 pro S and I'm very happy with it. They only have sidebuttons on the left side as well for right handed persons. The only drawback about the mouse is that they don't have any dedicated software at all, so you're locked to using the presets (i've always been using the 800 dpi step so I don't mind not having any kind of software), and the DM1 pro S got a braided cable that can be a bit too stiff compared to the rubberized cable from the nixeus revel (however I've been using a mouse bungee with the DM1 pro S and have no problems with cable tugging). Both mouses uses the optical PMW3360 sensor which is one of the best in the market at the moment, so the performance will be considerably better than your current sensei raw which uses a laser sensor.
The Steelseries sensei has been around for a long time so meh. I think i may try a right handed mouse since I got to replace this anyways. I did invest in a tablet so I get to see if I prefer that more. I'm not knowledgeable of logitech gaming mice. Always wanted to try one though.TakuMii wrote:
I'd honestly avoid the Taipan, or any laser mouse, for that matter. Optical mice are generally more reliable for anything that requires fast and accurate movement, with all the newer gaming mice coming out with PMW3310, PMW3360, or PMW3366 sensors, it's hard to go wrong.
I personally prefer mice with basic ambidextrous shapes, so if you're fine with that, look into the Skydigital NMouse4k/Zalman ZM-M600R (both are same mouse. They have an older ADNS-3090 sensor, but is very inexpensive and stills performs solidly), or maybe the Logitech G102/G Pro (both the same mouse but G102 has a cheaper low-power sensor).
If you're looking for a right-handed mouse, I'd go with one of the mice that Paneiru suggested (DM1 Pro S or Nixeus Revel), or a Logitech G403, or maybe one of the Mionix 7000 mice. I personally wouldn't go with Steelseries at this point as their rubber grips wear down notoriously fast, and I'd also avoid Razer as their software is a pain to deal with. There are also a handful of other great mice on the market to look at, so it's not a bad idea to keep yourself open to mice besides the suggestions posted here (...as long as you don't go for a mouse with a laser sensor ).
i'd recommend G403Madvillain wrote:
I think you should definitely get the G403. Perfect for those with medium to large hands and claw grip.
I've heard good things about the side grips, so I'd assume so. They're rubber-coated, and I doubt they'd wear down anywhere near as fast as the ones on my Rival did.scrain8 wrote:
Is the grip on the sides good?
The G502 is quite a bit heavier than pretty much every other mouse on the market (and that's without the optional weights). Also, please enlighten me about how hand strength has anything to do with the properties of kinetic physics, as well as the effect that mass has on momentum and static friction.Llahmah wrote:
it isn't heavy, people are just weak.
No. I play ultimate frisbee a lot which is a demanding sport relying on one's wrists and arms (which means I've put a ton of effort to improve my stamina and overall strength of my arms, particularly my left arm) and I still find the G502 way too heavy for games such as osu, my opinion. It always depends on preference, not on whether a person is weak or not.Llahmah wrote:

Actually, I'd consider 90g (sorry, I use metric) on the lighter end of the spectrum when it comes to gaming mice. There are only a handful of mice out there that are noticeably lighter than that, and many of those mice are physically smaller than your current mouse.scrain8 wrote:
Oh sorry if I make it sound like I prefer a heavy mouse. Current mouse is 3.17oz. Not really sure how light/heavy that is for a mouse. I feel it's the sweet spot. I may be coming back to mouse soon. I do like playing with tablet but I'm always thinking about my mouse. I'll just maybe practice harder with it?
