Recommend ruberless gaming mouse

post #1 of 87
Thread Starter 
Yup. I had a Roccat Kova[+] and after a year and a half the rubber coating was sticky, peeling off everywhere and making a mess... And their famed ultra-super-grip side rubber pad thingies fell of the blasted thing...

The mouse worked REALLY well and I'll miss the accuracy and stuff, but the build quality is TERRIBLE. The thing just falls apart on you.

My sweat will destroy rubber coatings and I absolutely HATE having to glue back stuff, so I don't want any similar "super grip rubber pad" stuck on the mouse that will sometime fall off the mouse and require gluing it back.

Recommend a simmilar mouse with absolutely no freaking rubber on it? If the aesthetics are simmilar, you get extra points!

I game at 800 dpi preferably, so you also get extra points for that option.

What I am mostly looking for:

-Roccat Kova/Razer Abyssus-esque aesthetics
-The ability to game at 800 dpi or, if it has a software that enables you to set sensitivity in percentage with reasonable precision, higher than 800 dpi.
-LMB, RMB and wheel are all I use. Won't complain if there are more, but they kind of get in the way...
-Blue LEDs or, preferably, configurable LEDs that have a blue light option.
-NO RUBBER. PLEASE!

Many thanks in advance. The quest for something like this is driving me nuts!

EDIT: If anyone is curious, the remnants of my Kova[+] now lie in the trash can. I am so angry at it. Shall never buy Roccat again.

Roccat Lua?
They don't talk about a soft-touch surface like the do on the Kova+ page.
They only mention "NO-SWEAT SIDE GRIPS"

I was just about to say that! SteelSeries Kana is also non-rubbery, but the sensor has a bit on prediction/angle snapping (if that bothers you...).

Wait, the black Kana is rubberized on top.
The white Kana is glossy.

You could try this Rosewill for about $11 and see if it's worth anything. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826193059

How about a Lachesis? It's quite pricey compared to the Abyssus though.

Ugh, those Side-grip things fall off in time, as I said in the post. That's what I loathed the most...

Product details say it has "industrial-grade rubber coating".

Lachesis is rubber-coated. I don't mind the price.

According to Teh Internets, G500 is also rubber-coated. The aesthetics are also pretty... Ugh.

More info for you guys should you need it:

-I'm a claw-gripper with big/mid size mice, fingertip-gripper with smaller mice.
-I prefer mid-size mice like the KOVA.
-I vastly prefer ambidexterous/non-ergonomic mice
-The Abyssus Mirror is schweet

Do you guys know if Saitek's R.A.T. is rubber-coated?
