I’m hoping this is an ok place to ask a question like this.

I recently had to get a new mouse because my old one broke. I couldn’t get exactly what I had before but I got something fairly similar. However, I’ve been struggling to tune it to feel good to use. It’s actually been putting a lot of strain on my arm even after short play sessions.

Does anyone know what might be causing this and how to fix it? What kind of things should I do to find the appropriate sensitivity/settings or maybe I’m holding my arm differently for some reason or maybe I need a different kind of mouse?

If it matters, here’s the old and new mice:

    Whether a mouse is comfortable is quite an individual thing and depends for example on what kind of grip you use. I use claw grip and a major factor for me is weight, the lighter the better, as I lift it a lot. I had a glance at those two mice and one thing I noticed is that the new one has quite a bit larger dimensions, so that might be a factor.
