I might have asked this in this thread already, but I'm in the market for a mouse again and I wanted to get some opinions.

I have really big hands and have had to deal with cramping after extended mouse use for as long as I can remember. I used an old Death Adder for a long time and it was too small. About 8 months ago I switched to a Corsair M60 and it feels pretty good but is still a little smaller than I'd like. What's the biggest mouse you have used? At this point I'm more concerned with comfort than performance, for the most part.

Does anywhere here have any experience with the Zowie MiCO?
I want to buy one but there aren't any reliable reviews. I have small-medium hands and I'll only be web browsing/playing FPSs and MOBAs.

anyone tried the Kana v2? i've read that the LOD is around 0.4 to 0.45 according to http://www.overclock.net/t/1419598/steelseries-kana-v2-review-by-takasta-updated-white-version

kana v2 is really nice, i ordered one for a friend for christmas from takasta's ebay, plugged it in and played a quake pub for 5 mins to make sure it was alright because i didnt want to give him something crap/doa. Sensor performance is fine, mouse shape is akin to zowie FK or steelseries sensei but a little shorter.

buckweetliasAnyone have a rival yet? I'm getting one soon.
Tried my friends recently, felt so fucking good. Great feel, awesome shape, tasty clicks, nice scroll. Sensor is great from what I hear from him. Only problem he had with his is when he hits m5 it thinks he is hitting m4. Not sure if this is a widespread problem or anything though.

Do we know yet whether the PMW3310 is as good as an ADNS-3090 sensor? I haven't seen any plots or anything

Has anyone here ever bought a good clickless mouse? My wife is always annoyed by the sound of the mouse clicks when I play TF2, but it seems like everything marketed as 'clickless' is junk.

unfortunately, the lack of tactile feedback would really throw you off and be extremely unreliable.

think of typing on an ipad

I'm sure there's something out there, however, just not with the same sensor quality and general reliability as one with good ol' tactile feedback.

in regards to mouse movement on a puretrak talent, my g400s has been feeling kind of sluggish recently. would these mouse feet fit the g400s and help to alleviate that at all?

Anyone has the prob on the g400? because I heard there a lot of problem about double click, or button stuck. Which now I'm owning the razer deathadder 2013 and facing the same problem, and which are better between the g400 or kana v2? Thanks in advance.

Hey, do you guys know anything about glass mousepads? They're supposed to be "faster" than conventional cloth (due to having less friction I guess, inertia is your enemy). I was thinking about getting one but I wanted to know if anyone has had any experience with them first?

Just picked up a g700s after my g400s frayed. I like the texture but the weight and scroll wheel are kinda iffy. Is there any conclusive answer to whether it has accel or not(the g700s that is)?

I had wanted to pick up an Artisan Shidenkai when my old Roccat Sota started peeling, but heard some bad stuff about the coating wearing off easily.

Went and bought a Roccat Alumic instead as it was available locally. Nice smooth mousepad, very durable, though it's a bit small and the bottom edge can put some strain on the tendons of your hand if you don't have something under the pad(or don't use the wrist rest)

Alanny I have the EC1 evo and this qck+ and I've experienced some weird tracking issues at really slow speeds. I'll be moving the mouse diagonally down and to the left and it will intermittently snap to a totally vertical angle. The mouse tracks perfectly on my gt-f speed. Either way I've been continuing to use the qck for now because it hasn't actually affected me in-game at all. You never really move your mouse that slow.

The g-tf speed is a pretty nice pad, by far the fastest cloth pad I've used. Although it's strange because it has no "cushion." It's just a hard cloth weave over a slick plastic backing. It's smaller than the goliathus/talent/qck as well. But it stays in one place on your desk as reliably as any of them.

The QcK+ and QcK Heavy have the same width and length (Width: 450 mm Length: 400 mm). The QcK+ has a height of 2 mm while the QcK Heavy has a height of 6 mm which means that the QcK Heavy, due to it being taller, allows to be put on uneven surfaces.
