The 7 Best Claw Grip Mice - Spring 2020
Mouse Reviews

The best claw grip mouse with a wire we've tested so far is the Razer DeathAdder V2. It keeps a very similar shape to the renowned design of the DeathAdder lineup, which is very comfortable to use with a claw grip. It's very well-built and has a small right slant. The mouse is also pretty lightweight for one that doesn't use a honeycomb pattern like most ultra-light gaming mice to reduce its weight.

This mouse also features Razer's latest sensor, which performs exceptionally well. The mouse has a very low click latency, which makes it feel responsive. The newest version of the DeathAdder also has the new and improved Razer cable, which is noticeably lighter and more flexible than the previous models. The mouse can also be customized, for both performance and lighting, inside the Razer Synapse 3 software.

Unfortunately, this design is a bit on the bigger side and might be unsuitable for people with smaller hands, and they might have trouble reaching the front side button. Nevertheless, the newest edition of the wired DeathAdder is the best mouse for claw grip we've seen so far.

The best mouse for claw grip with a wireless design that we've reviewed so far is the Razer Viper Ultimate. This mouse is very lightweight and offers tremendous performance. It's often compared to the Logitech G Pro Wireless, which is also an excellent wireless mouse for claw grip. The Razer has a very low-profile body, which might be better suited for a fingertip grip, but its longer body helps to have great control with a claw grip, too.

Its sensor performance is excellent and it has a very low click latency when used wired or wirelessly, which is incredible. It has five feet that glide very well and features two side buttons on each side of the mouse. You can easily use the software to set your preferred sensitivity or lighting settings. If you do use it wired, it has the new lightweight and flexible Razer cable, which is great.

However, people with extra-large hands might find the body of the mouse to be too small for a claw grip. Also, since it's wireless, some people might not like having to manage battery life. On the upside, when you're not using it, you can place the mouse on a sleek-looking charging cradle that has RGB lighting. This is one of the best claw grip mice we've seen so far and its wireless connection makes it perfect for people looking to get rid of cable clutter.

If you want a lighter mouse than the rest of this list, the best ultra-light claw grip mouse we've tested so far is the Glorious Model O. Its ambidextrous design makes it great for claw grip users looking for an ultra-lightweight option. It has a honeycomb-pattern design to reduce its weight, but it's still very well-built. It's one of the most comfortable mice we've reviewed so far.

The side buttons are clicky and easy to reach, and the click latency of the mouse is very low, making it feel very responsive. You can customize its CPI settings inside the dedicated software and its cable is lightweight and very flexible as well. It also features two stripes of RGB lights on both sides.

Unfortunately, people with smaller hands might find it to be a bit big for a claw grip, but there's the Glorious Model O Minus, which is the same mouse, just in a smaller format. It should be better for people looking for a smaller mouse, but we haven't tested it. Nevertheless, the Model O is an affordable and lightweight option if you're looking for one of the best mice for claw grip. You can also check out the Glorious Model D for an ergonomic-shaped alternative.

The best budget claw grip mouse we've reviewed so far is the SteelSeries Rival 3. This mouse has a rather straightforward design with two side buttons that are fairly flush to the mouse's body. Although it doesn't look as much like a gaming mouse as some other options on this list, it does feature RGB lighting. The mouse is very well-built and its shape is designed for claw or fingertip grip users.

It's lightweight and feels very responsive thanks to its low click latency. The sensor performance is also excellent and will satisfy most people. You can easily customize everything inside the SteelSeries Engine software, whether it's the CPI setting, polling rate, or the lighting.

On the downside, the two side buttons are a bit hard to press, and scrolling is a bit hard since the scroll wheel has a very low profile, although this helps for middle clicks. If you're gaming on a budget and are looking for the best claw grip mouse to get without spending too much, this is a great option.
