Where can I try a gaming mouse before buying it? ~$50-80

I can find trillions of reviews and comments about computer mice but I need to try it before buying.
I'm currently using a Logitech G500, it was on sale but it also was a big mistake I made and I regret it.
I'm not talking about the quality but the mouse style, it's a finger grappling style and I really hate it.

So my requirements are: a wired gaming mouse, I dislike fancy/strange mice so the simple and functional the better, a mouse for a big hand, the clicks pressure have to be consistent and not soft because during gaming I put a lot of pressure on it, the wheel's pressure has to be soft and the scrolling consistent because during gaming I press on the wheel but at the same time I rotate it.
The mouse's settings have to be stored on a on board chip so I don't like Razer mice because they store the settings on Razer server.

I looked at the:
SteelSeries Rival 300 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B016KG7X34/ref=ask_ql_qh_d…

SteelSeries Sensei 310 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073WGB8G6/ref=s9_acsd_zgi…

And BenQ ZOWIE FK2 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00QIH1GD4/ref=s9_acsd_sim…

What are your suggestions and alternatives?

      Thanks for the link but some information is outdated plus people just talk about opinions.

      It's a finger grappling style so I already got it.

    I bought my last gaming mouse at JB Hi-Fi.

    They helped me pick ones to look at then took them out of the box so I could see how they feel. It was really worthwhile because the first one we picked looked great, but as soon as I put my hand on it I realised there was a major problem with the design so I ended up choosing a different mouse. They also offered a small discount when asked about the price.

      I had a totally opposite and negative experience at JB Hi-Fi just last Thursday at Pacific Epping shopping centre.
      There were 3 young ladies with tatoos those who stay there maybe just a few days, I asked the question to one then another jumped in telling incompetent BS.
      I insisted that I needed to see and try a mouse before buying but one lady insisted that all mice are sealed thus there was no chance to try one.
      My only choice left was to leave the shop.

        Wow, that really sucks. I must have been lucky to have a guy willing to open the boxes for me.
        I'm in QLD so definitely different store.
        It's hard to try and judge the size and feel of a mouse from just a picture on a box.
        Best of luck in your mouse search!

    Remember to grab a decent mousepad too.
