Mice for larger hands

[The Tao]

I've been thinking about finally replacing my ol MX518 but I'm finding out the stores around me don't put their gaming mice out on display for people to try. I was looking at the G9x but from the pictures I saw it seems pretty short. My fingers curl over the front of the 518 as is. Anybody else with large hands have any suggestions?

Logitech G500. Great Mouse for normal-big sized Hands with the same sensor as the G9X, pretty similar shape like the MX518.

I saw it in the stores but I blew it off as a MX518 with some extra buttons. Guess I was wrong. Its definitely in the running now.

Yeah that would almost be perfect. Unfortunately its a little over my budget and I would be a little worried about longevity with all those moving parts.

Thanks for the quick replies so far. Any opinions on the Roccat mice? The Kavu looks very 518-esque but with LR buttons that extend the length of mouse like the G9x so I don't have to worry about my fingers reaching past the buttons. Plus It was made by Germans and Germans have big hands I think. Thats good reasoning right?

Yeah I saw that. Unfortunately its a little above my price range and I'm a little

Couple of others i've heard that are pretty good for the bigger hands; Logitech M950, Naos 5000 and the Cyborg RAT 7 - they really need a keyboard and mouse test area at computer stores...

I know right? Everybody has the cheap laptop mice on display for everyone to test out but not the high end stuff. I don't get it. Mionix is something I never thought of. Might be worth a shot since I kind of want to try something other than logitech just for the sake of trying something new. Plus its a Swedish company so they must have big hands.

The Logitech G700 might also be an alternative to your legendary MX518 :) I like to be able to go wireless when playing Tribes: Ascend :)

You might want to take a look at the Logitech G400, it's similarly shaped to the MX518, it's basically just a 'refresh'.

Go with a R.A.T cybord mice.. they are customizable.. very customizable.... you may take a look at those ;) they don't look comfortable but they really are.

g400 dude.

laser mice suck and have LOTS of issues

I've tried quite a few in the last few years including the RAT9, G500, Sidewinder X8, deathadder etc. I ended up sticking with a claw grip on the G9X.

I needed a multi button mouse for mmos' was thinking of a razer hex or a naga (didnt want the naga due to only having only the thumb being used for clicking and other digits doing nothing) but I saw the steelseries Cataclysm mouse on sale.

it took a while to get used to how large the mouse was compared to my old G9 mouse.

I remember hearing that a while back. Seems like most gaming mice are laser now so maybe the technology has gotten better? I'm out of the loop since Ive had the 518 forever.

Yeah that and the Ouroburos looked interesting, I just dont think I can get over the look. I have pretty simple, boring tastes.

Might end up doing it. The only thing holding me back is that I kind of want to try something new. This is the only gaming mouse I ever owned so it would be nice to see what else I might like. But if I get the g400 at least I don't have to look at the stupid holographic thing going on with the 518

for people who have no knowledge is crappy laser builds

anyway g400 is the 518 remake

it is better feeling imo

and you wouldn't want to go to laser mice dpi ANYWAY

1800 dpi is what you should be at if ANYthing

anyone who uses higher is a moron it gets a pretty much perfect 1000hz polling

better then the death adder and m90 while still being optical and perfect for palm grip

Looks like one of the cheap targus mice we have at work that I actually really like the grip of.

Hmm....maybe size doesn't matter as much as I think it does since I think I naturally claw grip anyways. My fingers go well past the buttons in a full palm grip. Man this is getting complex...

It is soo comfortable, really nice with a rest for the ring finger and pinky finger. and it has ceramic feet wich makes it glide around so nice! :)

its pretty cheap compared to other mice too..
