Advice on mouse for large hands


Recommended Posts

Is it just me, or have mice started getting smaller and smaller? I need a mouse that fits comfortably in my large hands. I just got a new Microsoft Basic Optical Mouse and it's a bit small for my hands and not very comfy. I don't want a wireless mouse again. I have tried them several times and just don't want them. I also don't want a mechanical/gaming mouse. Just a basic one.

So if anyone knows a good mouse that will fit comfy in my large hands could you please link me?

Price: Undecided.

Thanx.

Falls into the gaming mouse category I think but personally went for a RAT 7 myself just because of its flexibility; you can adjust its weight, the mouse can be made longer, comes with three adjustable thumb grips, three pinkie grips, tweak it a bit and it's comfortable as all hell, build is very solid too.

The Microsoft Sidewinder X8 is a monster of a mouse, I used to have one, I have the Logitech G500 currently and it's fairly sizable.

I like Logitech. Is it possible to disable the extra buttons on the G500? I don't want to accidently bump them and cause unexpected results.

You ever think of a Top Ball Mouse??? I like them because I have a gell pad mouse pad that it sits on. So the only motion is in my fingers. And you don't have to worry about grab and move.

I have this mouse and it is great. - good amount of weight and comfortable to use for long periods of time. Someone else mentioned the Mad Catz - Rat 7, which I use on my gaming machine and also a really good mouse. My wife likes MMOs and uses the Razor Naga and this is comfortable as well.

I have 2 of those. Both are now worn out, but were a wee bit small for my hands. But not too bad. Guess I could just stick with that though.

I agree. Today's cheap Logitech mice (like the Logitech B100 :() wear out pretty fast, and are uncomfortable. Their designs in the early 2000s were good - you can still get OEM versions on eBay.

Best mouse I ever had that was large, heavy enough to stay flat and had a ball that didn't get gunked up and actually worked for months without having to clean it was this

The Logitech Mouseman Wheel

If they made the same exact mouse now, but with USB with laser tracking instead of ball I'd buy another.

The next mouse I really enjoyed for the longest time was the original Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer.

It was nice and big and chunky. My ape like hands felt at home on it.

    • Google Finance is now out of beta with improved portfolio tracking and a new Android app by Karthik Mudaliar Google is taking its redesigned Google Finance experience out of beta and adding several new features, including portfolio tracking, scheduled market briefings, and a dedicated Android app. The company says the updates are beginning to roll out globally this week, while an iOS app is planned for later in 2026. The most notable addition is the new portfolio feature. Instead of entering every investment manually, users can upload a screenshot, CSV file, or PDF containing their holdings. They can also tell Google Finance what they own using natural language, such as the number of shares held in a particular company or fund. Google Finance will then place those investments into a dashboard showing performance, asset allocation, concentration risk, and the holdings responsible for the biggest gains or losses. Existing portfolios created with the older version of Google Finance should appear automatically. The built-in AI research panel can use the portfolio as context when answering questions. For example, users can ask which sectors are underrepresented or how their fixed-income allocation could affect long-term growth. Google says portfolio data will remain private and that uploaded files and images will not be retained. Users will also be able to edit or delete their portfolio information after it has been imported. Google Finance is also getting scheduled tasks. These let users request recurring reports such as a daily summary of overnight cryptocurrency movements or a weekly update about newly announced initial public offerings. There is also a new Google Finance app for Android. It includes watchlists, interactive charts, real-time market data, a live news feed, and the same AI research panel available on the web. Google has been gradually expanding the AI-powered Finance redesign since it first entered testing. In April, the experience was expanded to more than 100 countries, bringing its research tools, advanced charts, and market news to a much larger audience. That was followed by a wider European rollout in May, which added features including live earnings calls, transcripts, and AI-generated summaries. The ability to import an entire portfolio from a screenshot or document should make Google Finance considerably easier to set up. However, Android users will have to wait for feature parity with the web version, and Google has yet to say exactly when the iOS app will arrive.

    • Can you give an example of when you would want to use Rufus over the other or vice versa? Just wondering which is the "best".
