The Best Claw Grip Mouse - Winter 2023 Mice Reviews

Our recommendation for the best claw grip mouse is the Logitech G303 Shroud Edition. This mouse came about as a collaboration between Logitech and the esports pro-turned-streamer, Shroud. It has a diamond-shaped design that favors a more aggressive, pincer claw grip. Like Logitech's other high-end offerings, it has exceptionally accurate and consistent sensor performance and remarkably low click latency. It also feels extremely sturdy and is made with high-quality materials.

This mouse weighs a little over 70g, which is impressively light for a wireless gaming model but not as lightweight as some of the best FPS mice on the market. That said, the shape of this mouse is designed explicitly with a claw grip in mind, and it's an outstanding all-around choice for high-end, competitive gaming.

If you're considering options at a mid-range price point, we recommend the Endgame Gear XM1r. This mouse is widely celebrated among claw grip users and is suited for a more relaxed claw grip. This mouse is also available in a range of coatings that aren't just cosmetic but offer a slightly more chalky, glossy, or rubberized feeling, depending on which you choose.

Overall, this mouse has outstanding build quality, and its gaming performance is just as impressive, matching the incredible performance of the higher-priced Logitech G303 Shroud Edition. Besides their shape differences, the major choice for many gamers between these two mice is how much you value wireless connectivity. That said, the cable on this mouse is extremely lightweight and flexible, so if you don't mind a cable or even prefer using a wired mouse, this is a better option.

On a budget, the best mouse for claw grip we've tested is the Cooler Master MM720. This wired model has an unusual right-handed shape that's relatively short and wide, and it features a small ledge on the right that provides support for your ring and pinky finger. This shape is ideal for a claw grip, especially for those who prefer a knuckle claw grip with minimal or no palm contact. It also delivers surprisingly high-end sensor performance and click latency, especially given its price point. The honeycomb perforations in the body make it the lightest model on this list by far, weighing in at just over 50g. It makes it a great option if you prefer the movement speed advantage of an ultra-lightweight mouse. It's also a great choice for small, medium, or large-sized hands compared to the other two options on this list which are better suited to medium or larger-sized hands.

Its biggest weakness is the build quality. It feels significantly cheaper and more fragile than most gaming mice, especially compared to more expensive options like our top pick in this article, the Logitech G303 Shroud Edition, or our mid-range pick, the Endgame Gear XM1r. Its side buttons feel mushy, and the body squeaks while feeling like it may crack with enough force. It'll be fine for most people during regular use, but it can be an issue if you're rougher with your devices. Its price, unique claw grip shape, and impressive performance make it a standout option if you're shopping on a budget.
