Although it is ment for MMORPGs, the razer naga is really a great mouse given that you have a small hand - it's really, really small.

Same here.

I used to use a Salmosa (well, I used it for a day) and it's so tiny. My hand could never relax so I started having pains in it from day one.

I use a Logitech VX Revolution wireless laptop mouse. Perfect for my small Asian hands.

total hand: 6" or 15.5cm
middle finger: 2.75" or 7cm

as a follow up... what about keyboards for us tiny handed people??
but then I think that rain is wet, so who am I to judge?

i use this

http://www.potchjunxion.co.za/images/Mouse/V100.jpg

the shape is amazingly ergonomic. i only use my fingers to hold it basically, my thumb and pinky sit nicely on the side grooves.. its just a tad longer than a credit card.

MX518 is a fairly small well sized mouse.

Is the G9X a big improvement from the MX518?

As far as it seems, it looks much "shorter" than the MX518, like you don't have to elevate your palm as much as with the other mouse .. thus making it comfortable.

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.

I think I have even smaller hands than OP and I palm grip a Mx518 just fine O_o... plays Osu! great.

I fixed that spoiler for you.

A lot of people are recommending this, I have medium size hands and the mx518 felt to me as the most absurdly hulk-like peripheral of any sort ever.

I use an LMO now and really like it. I guess one issue is I use finger tip grip. My understanding is these are good for small hands, and I would hazard getting one if my LMO broke, except I don't know how except fly to KOR :/

dont want this to get a new topic, so i stick with this

my hand is rather small too
19 cm long and middlefinger is about 8 cm

today I did some hours of research of what should fit me better

claw or palm grip and so on.
Now I tested the razer abyssus and razer deathadder right in the shop and really cant understand, how small handed ppl say the deathadder should be the way to go.
I had real problems with the backwards movement, when the deathadder hit my palm over and over, so my mousemovement stopped.


on the other hand I had the chance to test the kinzu, too.
it feels pretty equal to the abyssus. I go a step further and would say, the movement seems a little bit more direct than with the abyssus.

They are around the same price, same spec and for smaller hands with a claw grip or anything next to claw grips.

Are there TL reader out here that had the chance to play SCII with both of those mice (kinzu and abyssus)?
I really would love a final hint, what mouse becomes the stronger friend over time.
Yes.

I've recently read something about a new small Zowie mouse.

Zowie Mico

Really cheap, enough dpi (1600 max.), small (!).
But it has only 3 buttons.

thx for the advice, but I dont look for a really small mouse
Its all about a mouse, that wont get blocked by my palm (when moving downside), like the deathadder did.

3 buttons is ok with me. Abyssus and Kinzu have 3 buttons, too.

Did anyone try out both? Kinzu AND Abyssus? And can give some advice?
Yes.

The Kinzu has some positive acceleration and the Abyssus tends to jitter on quite a few mousepads, but with the right mousepad its close to perfect.
Hmm, mx518 could be too big and may annoy due permanent enabled prediction.
Does the shape of the Logitech g9x fit your hands?
Or maybe a classic WMO 1.1a / Intelli 1.1a? @500hz theyre still good.
The Xai is also pretty usable. (slight accel issues)

I don't have the Kinzu, but I completely agree with you on the Deathadder. Can't use that for the life of me haha (my roommate has 2). I do use the Abyssus though, and it is perfect with my claw grip.

thanks for so many interesting statements so far
have to correct me here. I'm a fingertip grip user. I got this whole grip thing a bit wrong before.

I didnt tested the mx518, g9x or intelli mouse yet. I may check them out before ordering.

Some may be interessted in a short Sidewinder X8 Review from a "smaller hand point of view":
Right now I use a sidewinder x8 (over 1 year now)
Some may wonder: "wtf why is he switching from a 1ms wireless 70$ mouse back to a half priced and much older model."
Well in my case I really love all features of the x8. But since I started pushing myself in scII a bit more, I figured, that I get my gear in the way. The x8 is a bit too huge and heavy for me, denying many fast and precise movements. I love huge mice. its great for all-day computer works. you can be really lazy with your hand and lying it down on your mouse.
But when I hit an average of 120 apm, I really feel that the heavy weight leads to LONG ways of speeding down the X8, so I often get trouble with overrunning my target location and need to move back afterwards.. As well as the big size lets me constantly hit my palm, what makes the cursor shaking too..

After reading a lot, as I already mentioned, it come down to the conclusion, that I should go for Abyssus or Kinzu.

Any more comments on those both mice are still very appreciated. :-)
Yes.

About that - I play around 260 and have no slowdown issues with the Abyssus o.o

you could also try a g9x without either grip, my friend takes the grip off my mouse whenever she would use it, and she'd take the weights out as well

I'm about to buy a new mouse.

I'm stuck between Logitech G1 and SS Kinzu.

Which one is better and why.

Thanks :p
