What we look for in a mouse for small hands and palm grip
The whole palm rests on the shell, which keeps the hand steady while the wrist and arm do the moving. It usually suits a slightly longer mouse with a full back that fills the hand.
- 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, held in a palm grip.
- A height to suit the grip. Full enough to fill the hand.
- A hump in the middle or just behind it. It fills the hollow of the palm along its length.
- Weight to taste. It doesn't change how the shape fits, but you'll feel it. The finder can narrow the list by it.
