Need a new mouse, but which is a good one?

WhiteLotus · Jun 26, 2008

Hey guys, i'm looking to get a new mouse as the one i have seems to be cuasing my fingers to ache after a while of using it, i think this is because of the fact that it is too small. What is a good mouse out there that is also quite big? I'm not looking for a gaming mouse but it needs to be of the same sort of genre if you get me
Price range is about £20 or USD$40.

Also if the mouse comes with a keyboard that would be a great bonus as my keyboard is also getting a bit used, and my hands hurt whilst typing although i think this is because i type funnily.

Thanks guys

i use http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826105187... nice and large.. fits my hands perfect, and my hands rest naturally on it due to the ergonomics design, i love the button locations and really helps for gaming.

I am liking my Razer Copperhead: It switched me over from trackballs

This is a good cheap mouse IMO:

Its what I've been using for a while now. When it breaks I will get the laser model:

Logitech G5. If you want a larger mouse don't get a Razer, they are smaller than the Logitechs.

the G5 is a nice fit in my hand, has a no-slip surface (great for those long gaming sessions) and has a 2000dpi laser engine

Logitech MX-518 here. Logo is worn out but the mouse is still clicking away.
