I've been using a mouse from https://pmm.gg, it weighs about half as much as the mouse I swapped the guts out of (28 grams vs 60 grams). Basically a couple sheets of printer paper.

I don't really care about the weight, what caught my attention was they offer ceramic? coated magnesium scrollwheels. My otherwise mild skin condition completely destroys the shitty grippy/gummy rubber they put on scrollwheels and sometimes the sides of the mice. They offer the same coating on the shells, which I really enjoy.

Yes, it's expensive but it still costs less than replacing mice over and over. I spend too much time holding this damn thing to settle for anything less. The quality is exceptional, assembly was easy, and the carbon fiber rod that snaps into place horizontally across the shape makes it more rigid than the stock mouse.

That manufacturer falls under "fool, money, parted, easily." A Finalmouse which is probably the pinnacle of lightweight gaming mice, costs about $180 and they want $100-ish more than that?

I have a ten year old Razer Ultimate still going strong, buddy. $100 new.

No, whatever you're putting on your skin is. In any case: buy a $20 set of grips/pads and problem solved...

If you're having issues with rigidity of your mouse, you're holding it too tight...

I kind of get where you're coming from, but if your solution for them is to:

- Relearn the way they grip their mouse completely

- Stop secreting skin oils

- Stop some ointment that you are assuming they use for some reason

- Buy mouse grip replacements constantly

Or:

- Just buying a slightly more expensive mouse that they like

I don't think you're going to sell them on this...
