Mouse for big hands

Hi!

 

I have been using a very small Trust mouse (GXT25) and start to have a hurting wrist.

I would like to upgrade to a bigger mouse and I think it would also be smart to have a wrist rest.

Do you guys and girls have suggestions for a nice gaming mouse and mousepad with wrist rest?

I have fairly large hands myself (8" from base of palm to tip of middle finger) and I find comfort using my SteelSeries Rival 300/301.  I've also head the Zowie EC1-A is quite nice.  The Belkin WaveRest Gel Mouse Pad is pretty highly rated, and it's cheap so you don't have to worry about wasted money should you decide to upgrade in the future!

Thank you for the suggestion Nebbia!

The Belkin WaveRest Gel Mouse Pad seems functional yet boring, I got myself exited for those mousepads with RGB but I didn't find one with a wrist rest.

 

Also that wireless mousepad charging seems really amazing, I love wireless mouses but always end up buying a corded mouse because of the battery swapping.

 

The mouses you suggested still seem small. I switched to my partially broken Logitech M500 and it seems bigger?

The Roccat Tyon, it's fecking huuuge, super comfy too

 

I have a Corsair Glaive atm and that's not too bad, its got a high curve so sits in your palm nicely with the thumb grip on.

ec-1a is always good. Also if you have a memory foam matress and a broken old mouse pad, tear off the mousepad top from the bottom that has the grip, and slap a piece of memory foam in it, squish it a little and rap it up. Put some tape on the bottom, and just put it wherever you like, thats what i did. 

 

Cheers

I own a Logitech G502 and i LOVE IT! 

It feels great and have multible side buttons and is great for gaming. I highly recommend it! Also most mousepads with an wrist rest are small, go get a larger mouse pad instead for around the same price.

So, when I spread my fingers out I'm about 11.5 inches from pinky tip to thumb tip, or as someone else measured, about 8.5in from palm base to middle tip.

I've got a Logi G700s I'm pretty happy with, but any mouse that would really fit my hand would be better classified as a large "Rat." It's also got plenty of programmable keys.

go with a Logitech MX Master https://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/mx-master-2s-flow?crid=7 this is my current mouse and have loved it ever since it was released.

Thank you all for your reply!

I have hold the Logitech MX Master and I really liked it! just the price tag is a bit high.

Thinking that I rather try a Logitech G703 or G903 with the wireless charging mouse pad (would still have to buy a wrist rest but..)

Still that G703 and G903 do seem small compared to the MX Master.. dilemma :P
