So yeah, there's quite a few topics talking about mice for Starcraft 2, but I haven't quite got the gasp of gaming neccesities for small-handed people.

I'm currently using a generic USB Logitech black mouse and can't entirely make a palm grip, my middle finger is like 0.5 inches ahead of the scroll whell while doing it .. so you can make a guess of the size.

Being too specific:
Hand total lenght: 17cm - 6.69 inches
Middle finger to palm lenght: 8cm - 3.14 inches

I've been interested in some of the Logitech gaming series, like the MX518 and the G5. Not a fan of Razer though, too much breaks and failures from my friends experiences.

Anyways, any feedback would be really appreciated, thanks in advance!

The Razer Salmosa Korean Pro Gamer edition is a perfect mouse for people with small hands. There is the Salmosa and the Korean Pro edition; the korean pro edition is substantially smaller than the regular version. I found mine on ebay for around 23 dollars. I've been using one for the past 6 months with no issues, theres no software to install either which makes for super easy transport. It's really worth looking into, even if you dislike razer products.

I've been using a MX510/MX518 since 2004. Palm grip.

Logitech Mini Optical?

I use the standard hand size with this mouse, works pretty well, but i can see it working well for someone who prefers smaller hands as well.

I have a small hand too, and I love my g5. I don't palm it though, I kind of pivot on the heel of my hand and hold it with the tip of my fingers. It's a habit I got from my counterstrike days, needed precision.

I use this mouse and i've got roughly the same sized hand. It's really durable and cheap and basically just a nice simple mouse. Mouse Here

Small mouse.


For srs.... http://techreport.com/articles.x/19754

this mouse can probably fit the bill for anyones hand. I cannot comment on the precision or anything like that though.

i use the logitech mini and have what I believe are small-medium size fingers. Been using it for about a year now and couldn't be happier.

The mouse itself is probably a little longer than my middle finger.

Despite testimonials of friends, I really recommend the Razer Abyssus, in conjunction with the correct mousepad it is a beast of a mouse.

Yeah shame you don't like Razer, +2 for the death adder atm. G5 I felt was substantially harder to grip comparatively.

Logitech G9x ? Its the mouse that Fruitdealer and sSKS are using. You can actually also you bigger mice and just adjust your grip. I've seen people use the claw grip and have their hand positioned further back.
