Can someone recommend me a comfortable mouse?

I use my desktop and its from dell. The mouse i use is a Dell laser mouse that was given to me when i bought my inspiron xps 8100. However, its just a plain black mouse. The thing is this mouse is very uncomfortable and i been using it for 7 months already and want to buy a comfortable mouse.

Can someone recommend me a good specific mouse? Would it be better to get a wireless one? I read logitech is good but they have tons of mouse and I'm not sure which one is good since majority of them have good reviews.

Also, i noticed tons of these wireless mouse seem to be very small... like its meant for a laptop. Do you guys say using these small mouse would be fine for a desktop even though you use it say 8+ hours per day? Or should i stay away from them and get the regular size mouse? This Dell Black Mouse i use is very uncomfortable and i think i am having wrist problems because of it now.

Thank you.

 

First thing first I will say is go into a retail store and try out the mice they have on display, you're going to get all the recommendations in the world by just asking, but everyone is different and... yeah, you're just better off going out and trying one for yourself.

The big vs small depends on the size of your hand, I have smaller hands so I actually like the smaller mice. It also depends on how you hold the mouse.

Wired vs Wireless is really preference, most Wireless mice get anywhere between 1-9 months on battery, so it should really be a non-problem, but...

If you just want something basic that works without too many issues, maybe try the Microsoft Mobile Mouse 4000 if you like smaller mice, or the Wireless Mouse 5000 for a bigger sized mouse.

 

This. THIS. Seriously, this.

Everybody will be throwing you recommendations as to THEIR favorite mouse for whatever reason. You will never know what works for YOU unless you actually pick up a mouse yourself and see how it feels.

There are two ways that people hold their mouse: claw grip vs palm grip


If you're a claw-grip person, you'd be more inclined to use a smaller mouse. If you're a palm-grip person, you'll want a larger mouse.

Personally, I have tried about 6 mice over the past 6 months from different vendors. In terms of pure comfort, I prefer the Logitech Performance MX. It is a palm-grip full size mouse that fits my hand very well. I also have a preference for Logitech mice, because I have never owned a Logitech mouse in my entire life that broke down before I was done using it (which I cannot say for some other mouse brands I have tried). It also has the benefits of having a very low-profile wireless adapter, charges its rechargeable battery off of a USB cable, has this nice scroll wheel that toggles between click-scroll mode or free-spin mode, and has a Darkfield image sensor which lets you mouse on glass / polished granite. Overall, a fantastic mouse for me while I'm travelling on the road for work.

 

This one of the most comfortable mice I've ever held in my life; the Microsoft Natural Wireless Laser Mouse 6000 (what a mouthful!)



As the name implies, your hand rests on it at a perfectly natural angle. You'll forget your hand is even touching anything.

 

Thats a pretty neat mouse! Do you own it ? what are they specs ?

 

It's 1,000 DPI and presumably 125Hz polling. It's not a gaming mouse, but it is easily the most comfortable mouse I have ever used in terms of shape.
