How is this mouse for fingertip grip? Isn't the thumb area too narrow of a space with the buttons and the rest taking too much space?

To be completely honest. The mouse fits my hand perfectly. That's why I went with it. But everyone's hands are different so what may be a perfect fit for me may not be for you. I love the mouse and it is still working as amazing as when it came out of the box. I hope you give it a try because it is a great mouse.

I bought it as a gift, so I can't speak from lots of experience but it didn't seem to bad for a fingertip grip when I tried it out. I didn't really know where to put my thumb at first but it's not that much of a change in style for me to complain about it.

I thought the same thing until I bought it and it's actually bigger than you would think. It's a comfortable fit and the features are great. I wouldn't use any other type of mouse.

Don't get the rat 3, there's not as much customization as the rat 5 or 7. If you have the extra money and don't need all the bells and whistles get the rat 5, really good mouse.

I think it is suited mostly towards a palm grip. I would find it difficult to use using a claw grip.

I personally like a high profile mouse, so was kinda bummed. It's a great mouse but it is low profile...about 1.5inches high. Inch in the back..less than an inch where the fingers are. Hope that helps.

thanks Ghengis, I do a lot of CAD remotely on my 17" laptop, don't want to lug around a big so-called "CAD" mouse - and I prefer the more compact size in general. tried numerous MS and Logitech mice over the years, and except for some fine precision issues in Alias, my MS 3000 worked just as good without the bulk. I just tried the Logitech Anywhere MX, don't like the middle button placement, and the scroll wheel felt rattly.

Same size as a regular mouse but the feel is better. The grip is greater than the average mouse and the precision is rather impeccable. Keep in mind, I use it for everyday computing. I am not a gamer.

It's wider than most mice, but not as long. It would probably work though, you'd probably have to have some pretty short thumbs in order to not be able to use the G-buttons.

I've owned this mouse for nearly 6 months now. My hand is 7.25 inches from tip to palm. I usually switch between fingertip and claw grips depending upon what I'm doing on my PC. I'm able to comfortably manipulate the mouse using either grip.

Hi, sure. Absolutely. I place my hand over the width. My thumb slides the top back and my other fingers steady the other side. Pretty nice piece. No complaints so far.

Hello Kiyomi :) The clicking is excellent. I am using this mouse right now and have replaced every mouse for each laptop and desktop in my home with this relatively cheap, but excellent mouse. I work online and have to have a mouse that fits my small hands well and one that is ergonomically sound - this is that mouse! I never have to re-click, as this mouse works perfectly.

Your thumbs, which work the roller part of the roller mouse, might be too far away if you're using one of those keyboards that slope upward. It may still be better than a regular mouse that you have to reach for. I hope that helps.

Shoudl work fine for left handed people. I've owned it for some time now. It's pretty wide though, but I really do like it. I like the hour glass shape that allows my pinky to pull the mouse backwards, but i am not certian everyone will like the shape. If you ever used and liked logitech mouseman 2 then you will get along well with this mouse. Low profile, works well for claw or fingertip mouse grips though I do wish it was an inch shorter. Probably too low for palm grip, but I don't palm grip so I am not sure.

I would say both. Precision and handling does great, buttons easy to press and use, only thing that would make this not as great as a mouse is of you a ton of macro keys, the thumb 3 and the one above the scroll wheel are the only ones easy to press without stretching. Also currently has 4 DPI settings toggle but you only have option of switching on press, can't push to toggle then release to return for quick dpi increase for headshots

I have very small hands, and I claw grip this mouse. It's not a problem really.

I have large hands as well and I comfortably use a near palm grip. You can full palm grip it though.

I have small hands as well although the device is large my hand fits comfortably on the mouse. I use it while at work for almost a month now and the vertical positioning of my hand feels so much better than the traditional horiontial mouse I had been using.

I would say yes. I have large hands long fingers which made the mouse small for me.

This was not a great purchase for me because of how I have to grip the mouse to use. it. I've done some serious assessment of how the thing fits in my hand, and I think with a better grip for the thumb, and a better rest for the palm, it could be good. If you have and use those gel pads with your existing mouse, I think there's a way of setting them up that might work for you. In short, though, you probably have better choices if you have small hands and are looking to offset wrist pain.
