Gaming mouse without an arch?

I have tried a Logitech G602 and G502, and a SteelSeries Rival. I think what I find uncomfortable with them is the arch in the middle. A quick check shows that a lot of gaming mice range from 1.5 to 1.75 inches tall.

I am looking for recommendations for a gaming mouse that is lower in height.
 
Most gaming mice have an arch, as this shape (at least for most people) ist the most natural shape (as hands are quite curved), and thus is ergonomically better and lessens the chance for repetitive stress injuries and the like. Still, there are a few options out there. The flattest gaming mouse I've seen is the CM Storm Devastator MS2k, but this is only sold bundled with a keyboard, and it's a very low-end mouse. How about the Logitech G302 or G303? They are rather small at 1.46 inches in height. Otherwise you'd have to look at low profile laptop mice. You also have the Razer Orochi, which is a "laptop gaming mouse," i.e. a small, wireless gaming mouse (can be used wired as well). Perhaps this will fit your hand better?

I think what makes the thicker mice uncomfortable for me is they cause my wrist to bend back a lot. I would rather be able to have it bent at less of an angle.

The G303 didn't feel quite right when I looked at it at Best Buy while getting the Steel Series. I will look at it again.
 
I use a Razer Abyssus. It has an arch, but the mouse is really small. My hand never touches the arch.
