If you like light and small mice, I use a Glorious O- (note the minus).
58 g instead of the 55 g of the Dareu, but ≈1/3 the cost.
Very comfortable for smaller hands (I know I’m setting myself up for a Tr*mp joke), good resolution and speed, as most modern gaming mouse you can set it up to your liking (extra buttons, lighting, lift threshold etc.) and then uninstall the SW.
I had bought a Deathadder V2, an excellent mouse, just not for my hand.
While I use it for work quite comfortably - I even bring it to the office as I cannot stand the legless cockroaches they pass off as mice - it cramps my hand when gaming.

IANAG (…gamer) but is mouse weight a real concern? and if so, it’s so that you can achieve a whole lot of pointer acceleration? and if so, aren’t there (desktop) settings which can achieve that for you? sinkme that thing looks uncomfortable in any-case.

The website says 26g. The battery’s probably 10g on its own, would be easy to save more by using a smaller capacity one.

$70 for a 3D printed frame that you stick the guts of a $130 mouse into seems a wee bit overpriced even with the added stickers and mouse feet. I mean, it’s printed with SLS so it’s a nice 3D print, but it’s not that nice.
I made a quick and dirty mockup eyeballing the size and material used and uploaded that to a quote generator from a commercial printer using SLS and PA12 (the same process and print material) and found I could print out 3 and have them shipped to me within a week for about $60.
Given that it’s sold out, this guy’s bank account has got to be pretty flush right now.

I recently got a logitech pebble at work that uses a single AA, and it’s light enough that the action of clicking* often induces mouse movement, which in turn means the click registers as a tiny drag instead of a click, and it’s kind of super annoying.
(* also maybe also my desk is too slippery? there are times/surfaces where I have no issues)
So caveat emptor etc

Good old gaming snake oil. I remember a gaming mouse from a while ago (10 years? More?) that one of the advertised features was being able to increase its weight.

I had one of those! It came with various weights that could be put into the mouse. I never used any of them.

Light weight and twitch movements can be huge. Personally, I prefer a heavy mouse with high DPI so I can go fast when I need to but have precision as well. (I’m not a PC gamer but I tend to use gamer peripherals because of their customizability.)

Btw, any idea of what the scale he’s using at the beginning of the video is?
Or, anyone would like to recommend a rechargeable kitchen scale in general?

QFT, I’m still playing games, but I’d also add that in general they are a bit sturdier than the regular stuff, for a modest price increase (unless you go wild on “elite” peripherals).
My previous Roccat mouse lasted about 12 years and gave up the ghost only when it was crushed while in my backpack.
With a 3d printed axle, is still going, though!
I have a middle of the road mech keyboard (w/cherry blue).
I’d never go back to a mushy keyboard.
EtA: BTW, the mouse in the article looks like it would only be usable with a claw grip, with you palm always lifted. Definitely not my thing, very tiring.

exactly! I had that mouse with the weights you could add and I added almost all of them, then turned up the dpi. that curser went where I wanted it, with barely a thought. I only moved on because the driver was specifically blocked after Windows 7.
