For a number of years now I've used this mouse:

Creative Fatal1ty 2020 Mouse

It has two key features that I like.

The main feature is that the mouse5 button is in the form of a full-sized 3rd mouse button on the right side (that black edge is the 3rd button). I much prefer that to a tiny side button, and I make extensive use of Mouse5 in the games that I play.

The 2nd feature I like is it's size. It's a claw-grip mouse, meaning it is small enough so that you can move it just using the tips of your fingers without it really touching your palm.

Overall, it feels like a modern extension of the old Logitech Wingman mouse which was my favorite mouse back in the 90's:

I've gone through about 4 of these Creative Fatal1ty 2020 mice so far, and it's getting harder and harder to find a replacement each time. They were only made back in 2006, and it's to the point now where the only ones available are from people listing them for $100+ on eBay, fishing for suckers.

So my question is, what are my options these days when it comes to mice that have my two needed features? (3 real mouse buttons and a Claw Grip)

Thanks for the link, that mouse definitely has potential. The only thing that I'm not sure about is all of the buttons on the left side. For a good claw grip I need a spot on that side for my thumb to grip the side of the mouse. It doesn't look like there is anywhere for my thumb to rest/grip the mouse that isn't on top of a button.

I'm also looking at the Corsair M4

But I can't even find a clear enough description that tells me if what looks like a 3rd ring-finger button on the right side is actually a clickable button or just a place to rest your finger. I've been waiting to maybe find one on display in a store somewhere.

Anyone have any first-hand experiences with either of these two mice?
