One more vote for MX518, it's a really nice mouse. I tried to use Razer Lachesis before this one, but didn't realize how big it was from the pictures. It did have some problems working properly too, so I returned it and got refunded.

Small hand here too, I actually got 2 MX518s lol .) I Don´t really like the looks of it, but luckily you can watch something else for visual pleasure.
A problem is a chance for you to do your best.

Tbh, big or small hand, the mouse size doesn't really matter, unless of course your hand are rediculously small. Like, 5yearold-small. You just have to adjust your grip.

My hands are ½ cm bigger than yours, and I use any mouse without problem. ^^

I use a logitech G9, and it's pretty good, since you can switch between grips, and you can also add weights to it to get the desired weight. One of the grips is small

I had a mx510 before having a G9, G9 is better for me once I got used to it

Speaking as a small handed mouse user(my hands are actually slightly smaller than yours); I very recently switched to the "Razer Abyssus" which is basically a new version of the razer salmosa. I previously had the mx518 but i recently switched cause it was a bit too clunky, the place where im supposed to hold my thumb didn't really fit me, and yes i tried all kinds of grips but i never really got comfortable.

The abyssus is very good for me i get a proper grip on the mouse. Plus i much prefer being having my hand farther down compared to the mx518 which is kinda "tall"
So I HIGHLY recommend the razer abyssus as a small handed player :p another noticeable thing to mention is that the abyssus is cheap compared to other gaming mice.

I have the same hand length as you do ~17cm and I've been using the mx518 (and it's predecessor the mx500) ever since they were released years ago. The length is fine but I've had friends say that don't like the left to right curvature because they have "narrow" hands.

I'd say go with the 518 unless you can't grip it lengthwise, I happen to have rather wide hands and a thumb which flares outward more than most people.

Another thing is that the 518 (so far) has lasted for close to 5 years now for me I think. It's worked across 5 computers and 2 laptops just using PnP, so maybe that will factor in.

Small hands here, the Salmosa is bloody awesome and also fairly priced.

DeathAdder is too big, I'd recommend an razer abyssus, especially for RTS.

Deathadder is the best mouse you can get. fits basically any hand size. Not too big. Been using mine for approx. 3 years now. FPS + RTS

Mx518 is not a good mouse for poeople with small hands. It's one of the bigger mice on the market, and the mousewheel's position require you to have long fingers. I have medium sized hands and found the mouse way too big, currently using a G9x

Razer salmosa and Roccat Kova would be good picks I guess, but genuinely small mice aren't too good if you're a pure palm grip kind of guy.

That's not true, it's a big mouse for medium to big sized hands.

logitech g9x or g9/ razer abyssus or salmosa. all of these are great small mice. the g9x and g9 are a bit heavier than the razer's. i personally use a logitech g9x due to its solid build design compared to the build design of razer's products. razer makes great mice minus the glossy sides that they give all their new mice. hopefully the razer spectre doesn't have glossy sides but i'm not getting that anyways.
