    Hi guys, In the market for a new mouse.

    I'm currently using a Roccat Kova which i absolutely love but one of the side buttons broke recently and i've had it a while and Diablo 3 is out soon so i thought why not treat myself to a new one.

    I've had a little look around but was wondering if you could help me with my choice. I have a few requirements mind.

    - I use the claw grip so must fit my hand
    - I need two side buttons on the left of the mouse in an easily reachable/pressable place. (i'm right handed so that's where my thumb sits)
    - Preferably not Logitech (i know people love them but i have never just felt it in the past)
    - Atleast 3200dpi (easily done these days but ya know, thought i should mention it)
    - Work well on cloth pads (i used QPad for life <3)

    There isn't really a budget.

    Thanks
    Liam

    I would say the CM Storm Spawn matches all those criteria.

    I can send you a pic as well as one of my claw grip on the spawn its extremely comfortable for fingertip or claw grips!

    Its more accurate than other mice for claw grips too because the sensor is right between the fingertips that you aim with. Makes it very precise. Its great quality too.


    If you want a shape more like the Kova (more standard) then I would say one of the Zowie mice or a SS Xai

    Thanks for the recommendations mate, shall take a look at them.

    I've never really looked at Razer mice before because i always believed you were paying for the branding but what are people opinions on the Lachesis and the Naga Hex?

    Thanks

    About razer, the Deathadder is well known to be a solid mouse. I tried it for claw grip and its big although still usable and nice.

    Lachesis is supposedly more comfortable for claw, but not tried it myself though.

    Naga has good reviews and pretty massive in terms of side buttons. Tbh with mice the most important thing is the feel and what you are used to.

    Actually, I'm itching to try a Lachesis. The shape seems new and appealing somehow..

    G700 all the way, good size, good weight, comfortable grip and plenty of buttons, I especially like the mouse wheel rock that Logitech has.

    Thanks for the help guys. I ordered a Razer Naga Hex (managed to get it for £51.99 inc delivery).

    My friend has the Naga with 12 buttons and i think they are stupid but i liked the feel and shape of the mouse so hopefully the hex with just 6 buttons shall be right for me.

    I shall let you know what its like when it turns up!

    Awesome always wondered what it would be like with so many buttons! You may convince me to get one, how did you find it for that price?
