    Looking for a wireless mouse for people with big hands. I'm looking for one that is cheaper than the G700, but it doesn't have to be for gaming purposes. Thanks :D

    Hand size doesn't correlate to mouse size, it is just personal preference. I'm assuming you just want a large wireless mouse? What do you want from it?

    The Performance MX is quite comfortable. Certainly not nearly as much of a gamer's mouse as the G700, but if that's not a priority then you might like it.

    On the more gaming-grade side of things, there's the Cyborg R.A.T. 9...I'm not sure, but I think it's cheaper than the G700, and it's very adjustable so you can probably make it fit your hand nicely.

    I believe you'll find G700 to be the cheapest between the top wireless gaming mice (mamba, rat 9, naga epic )

    Not really looking for a gaming mouse, I was just saying that because I used G700 as an example and didn't want to imply that I was going for just gaming mic. (sorry for the confusion)
    Performance MX looks nice, I think I might head down to a Best Buy and try it out. Thanks! If there are any more suggestions, I'm still open :p

    I know, but for the money spent, I recommend gaming mice, they usually give you handful of features for your advantages.

    Any reason the mouse has to be wireless?

    The MX looks your best bet as far as logitech goes, the mice they have with the G700 shape tend to a bit too small for my taste and i need to claw them on the right side.

    If you can go wired, the mionix naos 3200 or 5000 have a shape that is quite comfortable for large hands. I found it comfortable enough to go as far as to get another one for the office.

    I'm looking for something that's really portable. I don't want to fuss with cables while i'm at school.
