G300: I bought one and promptly returned it; my pinky was suffering hard. The mouse is too small and cramped.
G400: See above.
G700: Well, IDK. I'm looking for input.
Taipan: Ambidextrous seems to be uncomfortable to me, and it's smaller than my current mouse (3.5").
I guess I have a few questions about the G9x. Does it feel as wide as it looks? Would you be able to measure the palm portion on the wide grip? Also, are the side buttons easily hit with the thumb without "reaching" for them?

Since the G400 is out, Death Adder it must be then. thumb.gif

I just measured it. Its total width is right at 5 inches, the palm rest is almost 3 inches. From palm rest to fingers it is almost 5 inches long. The thumb buttons are EXTEREMELY easy to hit. Literally just bending your thumb to reach the "back" one. For me I simply move my thumb up and I am on the front button, bend my thumb back and I am on the back button. I use it a ton when I play BF3 as I have crouch macro'd to the front thumb and prone macro'd to the back thumb. As far as feel im not sure how big your hands are but when I place the mouse directly in the middle of my palm the rest of my fingers just conform to the shape of the mouse, so its a very natural feeling to me. thumb.gif

Not a fan of Razer products in general, they seem cheaply made, but the Deathadder is an exception. It's a great mouse.

Maybe check out the NZXT Avatar, unless the ambidextrous design doesn't agree with your hand that is.
