    Is your hand big or small? better try it first before you buy, and make sure you are 100% comfortable because mouse comfort varies from person to person.

    How do you hold your mouse? The palm grip where you place your whole hand and subsequently palm over the mouse. The claw grip is like its namesake;only your fingers gripping the mouse and manouvering it around.

    Its likely your gripping too hard with a claw style.
    Like yupitchie mentions, you should stop by a best buy or similar electronics retailer to test them out before purchasing as there's no one size fits all.

    The obvious question is, which mice have caused you thumb pain? That would be a helpful starting point from which to make suggestions.

    Stop claw gripping. Use your palm and you wont get pain. Look for an old Logitech MX Revolution and palm it.

    I think the Performance Mouse MX is actually the successor to the MX Revolution. The Anywhere Mouse MX is the successor to the VX Nano. In any case, they're all solid mice. I use my VX Nano every day and haven't had any problems whatsoever.

    Err. Yeah. :confused:

    Yeah it is the Anywhere Mouse MX...my bad :eek:
    The other thing I like about the Nano is the battery life...it keeps going and going (for me at least) :eek: :)

    i've been using the tactx with my m15x lately, and it has a really nice thumb rest.

    edit: saw your a claw gripper, if you like that the orochi is really nice and quick when used via usb and claw grip. I mix in the copperhead when I get bored of the orochi, only downside is that but its much heavier with the weights added.

    the performance mx I have at work is great and I can use it for 6hrs+ without any issues, its arc is much higher than any of my razer mice.
