Hello!

So I have been having a rather big gaming problem lately. I was hoping maybe you guys could help me resolve it, and tell me your view on the mouses. If you have used them only though.

Since my Logitech g5 mouse broke down (About 4 months ago) after an period of intensive usage of 2 years, I was in the dilemma of which mouse to buy.

So, my next choice was the Roccat Kone, I was kind of happy the first month or two with the mouse. It was new, it was exciting for me, know the drill. For World of Warcraft and games that did not require me of aim or really precision movements it was perfect, just like any other mouse really. However, once I started playing Counter Strike and Quake III again. That's where the problems started.
The mouse started feeling wrong in the hand, wrong shape, the hand kept getting more tired after the use due to the bulky shape of the mouse and the non-refined edges. When my hand sweated a bit, it got slippery and did not have such a good grip as the G5 mouse. Even after I removed all of the weights, it was still heavy, something that is technically impossible since its a rather light mouse, but that's probably caused by the shape. In general it felt all wrong for me, so I decided the Roccat Kone mouse was a bad investment for me.

Naturally I started seeking another mouse, with capabilities as the Logitech G5, as I do not want to go back to the same mouse type I already used, as it gets boring after a while.
So, Logitech G500 seems as a great upgrade from a G5, and I am almost sure that it will be the perfect mouse for me.

Though since I want a change, I was thinking of a Razor product, probably something that has allot of buttons and is a good mouse in general.
Since I will probably be playing mostly RPG games in the future, I thought of getting a Razer Naga, though I do not know how good it is compared to Logitech mices.
A Razer Mamba seems a great choice also, though I prefer the Naga to it due to the extra macro buttons.
One of the few problems however, is that In Greece the Razer Naga isn't sold anywhere. Atleast I did not find it anywhere, so I can't try it as a mouse.

I've searched for other mouses, but nothing attracts my eye. I was thinking of the Microsoft mouses, but they are bulky just like that Roccat one.
Also I heard that Razer Mices in general are for the smaller hands, is that so?

Any one of you got a Razer Mamba, Razer Naga, or a Logitech G500 mouse?
If you do tell me how your experience is with it!

Thanks!
Alex

Yea, I totally agree with you on the Roccat Kone mouse. Its durability is the worst possible for a high grade gaming mouse.

As far i know razer mamba has similar dimensions like deathadder. I dont think that mouse is small. But how you wrote about sweating of hand and slipery surface of mouse... I had this problem with deathadder also. So i bought this kit: http://www.gamegear.be/product_info.php?cPath=48&products_id=305

Apple Mac mini M4 + Apple Magic Keyboard + Logitech G603
