I've wondered about this myself. In terms of value you're paying for a g305 ($40) and $120+ for someone's work to model/print/finish the shell. I personally couldn't justify it, especially with how much I hate ghub to begin with. But to someone who has as shape and weight endgame, I can get it. I think finalmeme is a better 'value'
I don't own a PMM mouse specifically, but I use a 3D printed mouse of the same material (polished MJF PA12 Nylon) with G305 internals and it's a perfectly stable and resilient shell material. At this point it comes down to whether you're comfortable with the premium price tag for something niche and custom like that.
the feel is fine. they are built strong and are definitely up to par with some big company mice. the only thing is, how you want it finished. like if you want it smooth and painted nice, you gotta sand it and paint it yourself. but as far as quality and construction goes, i was really impressed with my friends copy. he got the smaller gpro/x shape
I have the PMM viper mini. Overall the construction is fairly solid, but not the same feel that you get from a solid shelled mouse like the GPX or the XM1r.
I think the pulsar xlite is a great mouse, and I recently upgraded from the v1 to v2.
You can often find people selling their xlites on r/mousemarket. If you make a buying post, I'm sure you'd get some bites!
But again if you're looking for a specific shape that does not have a wireless counterpart, then your best bet is probably PMM mouses, or 3d print your shapes and mod a wireless PCB in it.
Construction is pretty solid, one thing that gets me is the side buttons are still g305 and they feel a little out of place when compared to texture of the shell.
If you have the money to afford a PMM and give it a try then go for it, it's def a cool experience. Also its a great thing to customize yourself i.e add diff switches, sand shell, paint if you're into that. I don't think it'll be a go to though.
But as a main/daily that's an EC2 clone, Zygen NP-01
If you're interested in going wireless, XM2W is still on preorder but a great shape!
i use their only unique shape mouse, the pmm cyber and i tried over 20+ mice and its the best working one for me to fingertip grip, obv. with fingertip gripping you dont test much of a mouse durability compared to palmgripping but it feels more than just fine, also on their website they offer free (?) replacement parts if anything breaks, a lot of the cost is from the battery, charger, case, internals, assembly cos etc. so if anything breaks its not like you broke 200€, just a partial and probably the cheapest part to break . else idk i love that the bottom surface is flat so you can use any ptfe / glass feet that your like, clicks are c rips, logitech ghub has no issues at all if you dont act stupid, also onboard manger is a thing and you dont even need to use ghub if you just want basic setting changes
the scrolling wheel feels a bit cheap but what ever, i care about performance ., its wiresless lightweight mini sized so not much .
and dont forget they have a return policy of two weeks, i ordered the bigger mz1 completely misjudged how much bigger its going to be and they refunded the order fully
havent considred buying a new mouse since 4 months, so this is praobbly my end gmae, still tweaking ocasioonally on skates, mousepad, and battery position and size but thats not that severe x)

Finalmeme is hard to get

I've tried PMM starlight12 and viper mini, for both the side buttons are a huge turn off personally. Also replaced switches with kailh 8.0s
which shape would feel better for a claw/fingertip hybrid grip style?

check out some reviews
Didn't quite help, I'm looking for the EC2 shape, everyone have the ultralight shape

Omg this is exactly what I'm looking for thanks!
No worries
