TL;DR:

  • Large mouse for a large hand
  • Open to vertical and traditional suggestions
  • 2+ thumb buttons preferred

I realize this is only tangential to the topic but I’m sure I’ll get good recommendations from you folks :) TIA

I use a zsa moonlander at the moment and it’s wonderful but when I do need to mouse around, I want a mouse that feels good to grab. Like, what I really want is my hand to stay in “typing” position, and just reposition my wrist.

I guess i must have large hands because the entire side of my hand drags with the logitech MX vertical mouse. I just bought a corsair dark core SE as it was recommended for big hands and has the guards on each side for extra fingers, but it still feels too small to comfortably palm… which makes mousing around feel unpleasant in general. It’s like i want that mouse, but a couple inches longer and an ich taller, basically. Oh, and I want at least 2 thumb buttons on the mouse, ideally 4 (not 10-15 like some of the gamer mouses…)

I also trackpad about half the time, which is fine, but I want a mouse for mousey things.

Any mouse recommendations? Vertical or horizontal is fine. I did get annoyed with supinating/pronating my right hand constantly with a vertical mouse, but maybe if I tent the moonlander more that would be solved.___

    I use a Kensington Expert Mouse for the last 10 years. It has 4 programmable buttons (plus 4 combos) a huge encoder wheel for scrolling and a large trackball in the center. I use it with my whole hand and the biggest advantage is that I just need to move my arm to the left (I use it with my left hand) to grab it. It is pretty fast to switch from the keyboard to the trackball and vice versa. I can even share my left hand palm rest with it. You can see some pictures here.
