Mice that fit big hands and a fingertip grip
For A big hand (19 to 21 cm) and a fingertip grip, the finder looks for a mouse about 114 mm long. 15 shapes fit, out of the 1,524 in our catalog.
A big hand is 19 to 21 cm from the crease of the wrist to the tip of the middle finger. For that hand in a fingertip grip, the finder aims for a mouse about 114 mm long, with a low back. For a symmetrical shell it aims 3 mm shorter. Below are the closest few of the 1,524 mice in our catalog, then cheaper ones, ones from the big brands, ergonomic shapes and recent releases that still fit.
What we look for in a mouse for big hands and fingertip grip
Only the fingertips touch and the palm stays off the shell, which gives the fingers the most freedom and the hand the least support. It works on a short, low mouse. How short is taste: some players hold a regular mouse by its front half, others pick the tiny shells cut off behind the buttons.
- About 114 mm long. The length the finder aims for when the hand measures 19 to 21 cm from the wrist crease to the tip of the middle finger, held in a fingertip grip.
- A height to suit the grip. A short shell runs taller for its length; this keeps it in proportion.
- A low back. The palm stays off the shell, so the height matters more than where the hump sits.
- Sides to taste. A waist gives the thumb and ring finger something to pinch, straight sides leave them free to move. Both are common.
- Light. The fingers alone move the mouse, so the finder marks shells over 50 g down. Below that, weight is taste.
