    Hi all, SO my M65 mouse died on me so I am looking to over come its short falls. I found the mouse was a little short for my hands maybe a touch to small you might say.

    I went a bought a logitech g502 Proteous core. Great mouse but its too thin and causes me to bend my fingers in and hurts. Also due to my grip (palm grip) plus it positions the DPI switch button right under where my thumb grips and this is probably the most annoying thing ever.

    Is there any decent gaming mice out there that are good for larger hands? I used to have a performance MX but its not quick enough to game on. What about the G700s? Over wired it seems to have 1000hz polling.

    The only specs It really must have is 1000hz polling and I mainly play FPS games. I really don't want anything by Razer as I consider them to be over priced junk. Thats just me though.

    ive had the G700 for over a year and its great for gaming. i use it wired for every day use and then wireless for gaming.
    no idea about the hz but i only play fps and have had no problems so far.
    only down side is the battery life is hours more than days.

    G700s uses 1000hz on wired and wireless iirc.

    Laser mouse has an inherent inaccuracy problem -> read: http://forum.notebookreview.com/acc...liable-wireless-gaming-mouse.html#post9767548

    @OP, I'll say that the SS Rival may suit your hand. But to be sure, take pics of your hand + the way you hold your current mouse now (with ruler measurement) and post it here.
