Hi I'm looking to get a new wireless mouse. The main specs I need is that it needs to be big and good enough for gaming and comfortable for palm grip. There's not really an established budget I just want recommendation on top quality mice.

Edit: It would be nice also to have some customizable keys for the thumb.

I would also like to know about great wired mice for big hands. Looking around there's not much when it comes to wireless mice

i have a G700 love the mouse fits hand great very comfortable.

what i love the most is the software that lets you change each buttons function does

and on your main computer software will auto change to the program your using when you open the program/game

As for if its unifying i want to say no my receiver says G-series on it but i only have one Logitech peripherals so not sure:confused:

First off, I apologize for the length of this post as well as any spelling or grammar mistakes, I am typing on my phone.

You didn't have a budget did you?

From the mice you have looked at, it seems you want it for gaming?

if not, I would recommend the Razer Naga Epic

lots of customization, both wireless for browsing and wired for more hardcore gaming.

plus the 12 thumbpad buttons, which is really good for mmo's or even for FPS like ARMA and ARMA II.

Battery life, I play for several hours a session and I haven't found it to be a problem at all.

If it does run low, simply plug it in, flick the switch and you're good to go.

Aesthetics and comfort.

I have one word....

AMAZING

I have "medium" sized hands and it works really well, the thumb buttons fit comfortably. One note, the sensitivity up and down buttons are moved from the original naga, and they can be a bit difficult to reach when under pressure, other than that, it is well designed and Razer even went so far as to include 3 changeable "side plates" (I guess you'd call them that). One thing about Razer is that (IMO) they look really good, but are also functional.

There are a few downsides, whilst it is much better than any other wireless mouse I've used, the threat of it dropping out makes me use wired mode for more hardcore online games.

I did also have a problem with the mouse in that it would drop out every so often. I narrowed it down to my Synapse 2 so i think it may have been a refresh issue with the cloud where I had my macros stored. Anyway after i had updated Synapse and stored the macros etc. locally, it seems as though the issue has been resolved.

Another thing which may hinder you is the length of the cable, it is very long (2m i think) and the only way to get wireless is to plug that cable into the charging dock. At the moment, it doesn't have a simply direct USB plug for the wireless but I hope it is something they will implement, so I can use this mouse on the go.

In Australia, it is priced around $160 (very steep) and for this price, it is not worth it. But if you get it on sale like I did, (for only $80) it really is a good deal IMHO.

In the end, it is a very nice mouse, it all depends on what you need it for.

for me personally, with several hours gaming every week, whilst also wanting a mouse I can keybind to, plus having the versatility of reliable wireless, it is well worth the cost.

I watched the video Linus did on this mouse a while ago. Do you have to bind the macro keys to the numbers or numpad? Or can you do whatever you want with them through the Synapse software?
