the thorn is the most unique of these shapes and if you already know you like the deathadder I'd say go for that. if you have smaller hands maybe look at the deathadder hyperspeed.

I've used the thorn for a week now and I'll say that the battery is kinda weird. Sometimes if loses charge quickly and sometimes it loses charge slowly. But on a full charge the battery lasts about 5 days for me. (1K HP mode)
