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)

its funny how WLmouse made a mouse lighter than the ulx, more reliable and cheaper with no previous mice

Original Beast X is a steal for $65, but keep in mind WLmouse has pretty much abandoned firmware updates for it. Also the battery life is pretty awful and will likely never be fixed.
