Comfort vs Performance. Haste 2 or OP1 8k v2

Comfort vs Performance. Haste 2 or OP1 8k v2

So i've found out i can only really have mice that has this ledge circled here for my 4th finger to sit on, if it doesn't have this i can accidently click the mouse with it as it creeps up when adjusting mouse movement in game OR if the ledge is still there but thinner than the one in the picture then that's also an issue too for the same reason (tried and tested on the Rapoo VT7 Max which has the ledge but it's thin).

I'm now debating between the Haste 2 wired or the OP1 8k v2. When i do aim tests online i perform better with the OP1 but the comfort of the Haste 2 feels more natural and i still aim well, just ever so slightly not as pin pointy shall we say.

Is the Haste 2 still a high spec/pro level mouse and just one step behind the OP1 in terms of performance? I do also wonder if i never used the original Haste, would the OP1 just feel normal size and everything after would feel bigger. I'm torn between these 2 mice as i'm used to the Haste feel but i prefer the OP1 performance.

TLDR: Typical comfort vs performance battle, which one should i go with for long term use? Could i get used to the OP1 size after using original Haste for 3 years? Or is the difference not too much for the performance trade off?

Which mouse to keep? Rapoo, HyperX or Endgame

Mouse

Mouse enthusiats, summon yourselves. I am im posession of the HyperX Pulsefire Haste 2 (wired and got for £20), Rapoo VT7 Max (£60) and Endgame OP1 8k V2 (£70).

I am upgrading from the original HyperX pulsefire Haste and so far the Rapoo is good but my ring finger has no ledge to sit on like it does on the haste, though i seem to have adjusted to holding it down the side more. My aim is solid on this even though the mouse feels slippery due to it’s texture but i know i can always use grip tape.

The Pulsefire Haste 2 is more comfortable although the ledge bit seems to stand out more now and in aim tests i’m not as accurate with it although the coating is nice and grippy for me. (The other 2 seem more snappier and i can aim and click more easily and faster)

Endgame op1 8k v2 has the ledge and it’s not as prominent, maybe the perfect fit for that finger ledge, though the mouse is small and narrow, i feel like it could cause hand strain in future perhaps? 18.5x 8.5 hands. I have a relaxed claw grip.

Which of these mice would you keep based on their specs, and how i view them as?

I came from the wired Hyper X Pulsefire Haste and now got the Rapoo VT7 Max for £60. Have i made the right purchase or should i try another mouse out that’s a similar price/performance? I’ve seen a lot of the Attack Shark x3 but this seems to be a little weaker in terms of performance and battery life i think, could be wrong but would you keep the VT7 Max or could i have gotten better for the same price?
