Looking for light mouse

Thread Starter 
Hi all, I currently have a Deathadder 3.5g i've been using it for a few years but I think I want to try something lighter. I use claw grip and my mat is a QCK, zero prediction and 1000Hz polling are a must.

Currently looking at... (Deathadder weighs 148 grams)

Steelseries Xai - 98g
Steelseries Sensei (Raw) - 90g
Zowie AM - 88g

I think i'm going to go with the Zowie AM (or AM-GS not sure what the difference is) unless someone can sell me on the Sensei or a different mouse. Thanks in advance.

Wait for the Ninox Aurora. It'll be < 70g with a flawless sensor and great cable.

I use the xai and my friend uses the Sensei, both are pretty great mice. They are fairly no-nonsense - the Xai more so than the Sensei.

Really? Have not heard of it, thanks for the tip. Release seems kinda far off unfortunately.

Hopefully, it won't be too long. It's already being beta tested by several members on this board. FCC and CE certification might take a while though.
