Mice that fit small hands

For A small hand (under 17 cm), the finder looks for a mouse about 117 mm long. 15 shapes fit, out of the 1,524 in our catalog.

A small hand is under 17 cm from the crease of the wrist to the tip of the middle finger. With no grip chosen, the finder aims for a mouse about 117 mm long (the same for a palm grip, shorter for fingertip). 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 small hands

About 117 mm long. The length the finder aims for when the hand measures under 17 cm from the wrist crease to the tip of the middle finger, with no grip chosen (the same for a palm grip, shorter for fingertip).
Hump and sides by your grip. Where the hump should sit depends on how you hold the mouse; the grip lists below narrow it.
Weight to taste. It doesn't change how the shape fits, but you'll feel it. The finder can narrow the list by it.
