Really Small Mice?

I do too have small hands and use the Logitech G9x and love it. The quality to me is superb and feels quite durable.

cm xornet / spawn are probably the best "small" mice in terms of sensors, and g9x is a laser sensor which is at best as good as optical
don't get the xornet if you have a dark (black, navy) mousepad though, as it gets crazy negative accel on those pads
also spawn had a weird issue with mumble or something where you got insane lag but perhaps that was fixed? theres a thread about it here: http://www.cmstorm.com/forum/showthread.php?2949-Spawn-Ventrillo-Skype-Mumble-Compatibility-bug

I use a logitech G9X, and one of the two shells it comes with is perfect for claw gripping. For a lower price, there's this zowie alternative.

edit: There are a lot of bad reviews about the Mico, and for the same price the Razer Abyssus seems like a better choice.

Yeah I got the cm storm xornet because the abyssuss was too uncomfortable. Great mouse, cheap too. Not heavy either.

I have almost all the mice mentioned in this thread.
Do NOT buy the cm storm spawn if you have windows 7/8 or plan to upgrade to windows 7 or 8, that CPU lockdown bug that fork mentioned earlier has not been fixed. If you plan to stick with XP forever, this is the best mouse hands down for non palm grip.
Maybe buy the Xornet if you plan to use a light solid colored pad only, it's the same great shape of the Spawn, without the CPU lockdown issue, only now you have to deal with a sensor that has negative accell with darker pads....
CM really needs to hire some new mice engineers to work on their firmware.
Logitech is great but the G9x is a laser sensor so you're stuck with hard pads if you want it to perform well.
The abyssus is great for small hands but it's REALLY small I found. Make sure you get a newer revision of it to avoid the old jitter issues.
If you have a solid black pad and still like the shape of the DA but it's just too big, then you could go with the Zowie EC2 evo. White version is glossy like old DA sides, black version is felt like the old DA top. Neither are perfect but I can grip the white one better.

GuanI do too have small hands and use the Logitech G9x and love it. The quality to me is superb and feels quite durable.
I use the g9x as well with the secondary grip that comes with it. I love it and I do the same claw grip you're talking about.

I personally use a Razer Orochi, it's comes with a detachable mouse cable and is built for Laptops. It should fit with what you're looking for quite nicely

Zowie micro looks like it might be good. I use an Zowie EC2 eVo and love it.

The Zowie AM is rather small, fits my hands perfectly. I recommend it.

kuzaLogitech is great but the G9x is a laser sensor so you're stuck with hard pads if you want it to perform well.
Is this a real issue with laser mice, or an excuse companies use for making lousy sensors? I have a laser mouse and a cloth pad and I've never had a problem with performance.

It was an issue with mine, maybe you keep your pad really clean. I used the goliathus, speed and control and the puretrack stealth. it worked great with all my hard pads though, I jut got tired of replacing mice feet and pads from wear down.

definitely recommend the razer abyssus, not only is it one of the smaller mice on the market it is also one of the lightest mice i've ever used. It is prefect for a finger/claw style grip and the sensor is perfect on the recent versions. A side note is that the abyssus comes in two flavors mirror and rubber finish, the mirror finish is a little bit lighter but seems to collect detritus faster than the rubber coated version.

I used some shitty little mouse from some convention and I loved the small mouse. My parrot ended up chewing the wire off but a small mouse was nice.

The only thing about the Abyssus is that there's no side buttons on the mouse, which is something that I look for in every mouse nowadays (since my medic style requires it).
I'm thinking of picking up a new mouse/mousepad to replace my existing Orochi/QcK (the QcK my brother found at school). Would the Zowie AM be a good mouse to pick up for a small mouse? Also what would be a good mousepad to work with it?

I have a Zowie MICO (listed above) and I've been using it since January. I really love it's size.
There are some questions online about its sensor, I haven't noticed any issues with it. However, I am no expert in mouse sensors. I also only use 800 dpi, I've heard that the 1600 dpi setting is where the issues are caused.
I would recommend it. It was only like $30-40. It doesn't have side buttons though, if you need those...
I had a logitech g9x before that, i used it without either of the covers. It was alright, but it wasn't really shaped to be used without a cover. Also the mouse feet/lazer sensor weren't my favorite, but a part of the issues might have been my hardpad as well...
