Anyone know of a good palm-grip mouse? And by palm-grip I mean a REALLY palm fitting mouse like a Microsoft 6000.

Logitech MX Revolution. You won't find any better than it, you could land a plane on it's thumb rest.



I got one and love it, works great for everything and is beyond comfortable.

Well see my peeve is the right side of the mouse. I like having my ring finger and pinky elevated, which claw-grip mice do not do well. How well does it fit your hand?

Fits my hand well and I don't have a small hand. I'm not sure about any mice having a thing to hold up your pinky. But this mouse has a very secure feel to it, I don't even feel like I'm holding a mouse really, very comfortable.

G5 or G7 would not be suitable. I need a mouse with a palm grip. I hate having no place to put my ring finger and my pinky.

... they DO have a place for the pinky? its the same color as the rest of the mouse so it may not be visible, but its there.

i consider myself a palm grip user, which is why i suggest it. it only has a small lip for your pinky, while your ring finger sits on the edge of the mouse past the right click button

i don't get why there is a need for thumb, ring finger, pinky support? I mean the mouse does sit on a surface so maybe that would be a good place for those, unless it's a really tall mouse. No offense or anything it's just that after so many years of using a pc i haven't once felt the need to rest those fingers. :)

I use the computer for many hours on end, and I have a claw grip mouse. One day I borrowed my friends dad's Microsoft 7000 Wireless Mouse and I love how it supports my hand. I may just in fact get one.

maybe its just because it looks small in the images, its fairly large in person.

our definitions of palm grip may be different
