Our Verdict
Dell Alienware AW510M
Dell Alienware AW610M
The Dell Alienware AW610M and the Dell Alienware AW510M share a distinctive body and wingtip palm rest. However, you can connect the AW610M wirelessly with its USB receiver. It also has a more consistent sensor. On the other hand, the AW510M is a wired-only mouse, but it's lighter and feels sturdier. It also has lower click latency and three additional buttons, including one more side button than the AW610M. Both mice are well-suited for nearly all hand sizes using a palm or claw grip and a fingertip grip for extra-large hands.
