Is this mouse good if I do not use claw grip.

i don't use a claw grip and i feel fine with it. I have the Bf4 version of this, so the top is sort of slippery, but the regular taipan has rubber over the center so it clings well to your hand.

i use a palm grip works wonderful for me, its got a nice curve to it. I have smaller hands as im female, i'm not sure if that makes a difference

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.

Gary....I personally have not had any problems with this mouse, I really, really like it :) But then I don't use it all the time or with complex things on my tablet...

I use it for shooters all the time, even competitively. I don't have a problem with it but for the mouse I never have before so take that for what it's worth. As you can see in my review, Almost all my problems with mice are physical in nature, such as when a button stops working, is placed inconveniently, or when the cursor jumps around. Anyway, from what I understand the Deathadder (Or whatever the logitech equivalent of it is) is more suited for shooters. For me personally, this seems fine though. It has adjustable DPI for the snipers out there that use that, but I haven't made use of it yet.Sorry for the slow reply - I forgot I changed my email =/ I use it for shooters all the time, even competitively.

I never feel like I need to pinch the mouse between my thumb and clicking fingers to keep it stable. While the mouse is lighter than an expensive weighted gaming mouse, it has a sensible weight and nice solid buttons that click with reasonable amounts of pressure. They also aren't do sensitive that the natural horizontal mouse movement accidentally clicks the buttons.

My G5 is really glitchy right now due to the fact that my cat got into a vicious fight with the cord. So now I ordered the G9, and am still waiting for it to get here. From what I've heard, its better for claw grip users like me (your wrist stays on the mousepad and you use your fingers to move the mouse) as opposed to the G5 which I've heard is better for palm grip users (your wrist is elevated and your whole hand moves to move the mouse). To me, the G5 is a little too big and it took awhile to get used to the shape of it. Even after I've been gaming with it for several months, it still hurts my wrist in long gaming sessions.

Yes absolutely. It is an amazing mouse, very well designed and ergonomic, especially for people with big hands. However, if you're not going to use it for gaming, you might want to consider something simpler (obviously you don't NEED the ability to change the logo color nor do you need anywhere close to 8000 DPI for regular computer browsing). I use mine for both browsing and gaming. Macro buttons are convenient for going forward/backward in an internet browser and controlling iTunes even when other windows are open in front of it.

The answer is yes. I do not recommend this computer because of the touch pad. I have had 7 or 8 laptops over the years and this one I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. If you are not going to use it with a mouse, you should pass on it.

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.

yes. But mine is out of work just after 2weeks I bought it. Think about other mouse to save your money.

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.

My son, who is a computer expert, said that this would be his choice for a non mac mouse, he uses mac, I don't, but believe it is the best mouse I have ever owned

I pretty much agree with Joseph. I use this mouse when I'm making diagrams in Illustrator and I haven't had any issues. I case it's helpful, the vertical mouse let's your hand be in the "handshake" position instead of being flat as if you're using a keyboard or piano. This position is much more natural for the wrist.

I bought that same mouse and I really like it. I'm not a mouse expert, but I game with it and haven't been disappointed with it at all. I've had mine for about 7 months or so.

It's alright for casual gaming, but with no programmable buttons I am not a fan of it for gaming. Not to mention the absolute terrible battery life. I put energizer ultimate lithium AA batteries in it and they lasted less than 2 months. Pay the extra for a mouse with programmable buttons if you want to game. As for fps, it does alright for some. I've only played SEV2 with it and I find myself annoyed by the loudness of the click mostly.

It has excellent precision, is super comfortable and very customizable. So I would say definitely. I don't play LoL but plenty of Starcraft and DotA2. I love this mouse.

Yes; I think you'd be hard-pressed to find a mouse on which it doesn't. Especially from Logitech.
