Looking for new mouse with a few specifics

EDIT: Ordered an Ec2-A. :>

I'm currently using the Zowie EC1 Evo, but I'm having huge issues with the sensor/LoD. I tend to slightly angle the mouse when I do fast swipes which makes the mouse stop tracking due to the stupidly low LoD, and if I consciously hold the mouse down when I do fast swipes it tends to bug out (usually it will move along about halfway and then jump upwards). I'm using an Artisan Hayate pad, and I have the same problem on my QcK+.

Before the EC1 I've used the MX518 and G400 and I loved both of them (they stopped working after years).

So tl;dr: I need a mouse with a sensor that can track at high speeds and doesn't have a really low LoD. Preferably non-ambidextrous.

I've been looking at the EC1-A and the Rival 300, but the former still has a really low LoD and I've heard some people say the latter has issues with cloth pads. I wouldn't mind another G400 but they cost like $100+ now.

Ideas?

just get a g402/g400s or the ec1a if you enjoyed the shape of the ec1evo

I put the second set of mouse feet on my EC2-A to try to make the LOD even lower and it can still track with me hovering it off the pad. Not sure how the Hayate affects LOD though so your results could vary. I'd go with the G303 or the EC2-A.

G303 looks pretty good. I'm not totally against ambidextrous mice. It's just that I've never used one (in gaming).

I like the shape of the EC1 and apparently the A version has a much better sensor so I could probably just get used to the low LoD. Going back to Logitech is pretty tempting as well tho, especially considering my experiences with their customer support.

So hard to decide. :<

My grip is kind of a claw/palm mix. Only the outer edges of my palm rest on the mouse while the center doesn't. (I can fit a finger inbetween my palm and the mouse)

I'm leaning towards the EC2-A, since I'm familiar with the shape and I feel like the slight size decrease (as opposed to EC1) could help me out.
