For people with larger hands, finding the right mouse can be a nightmare. Stock office mice can be especially unkind and ill-equipped to accommodate sizable digits, resulting in uncomfortable use and even damage to tendons. Whether we should blame its diminutive dimensions or the lack of ergonomic features, the wrong mouse can have lasting effects on your physical health. Choosing the right mouse is essential, and thankfully, there are some that are more friendly for people with big hands no matter the use case, including gaming and productivity.

Best trackball

Logitech MX Ergo Wireless Trackball Mouse

Logitech's MX Ergo is the mouse that saved my wrist. I wasn't sure I could use a trackball, but it turned into my go-to for everything from productivity (including precise photo editing) to gaming. The wireless mouse has a heavy stand that works at two angles, it can quickly switch between devices, and it's easy to clean out. It's a big mouse that should be a top choice for anyone suffering from wrist and forearm pain.

Choosing the right mouse

The best mice for big hands really will depend on the use case. If you're a productivity user looking for an office workhorse, it has to be the MX Master 3S. The MX Master line has been a productivity go-to since its introduction in 2015. It has a large, curved shape that will fit all kinds of hands. The lengthy battery life, convenient pair of scroll wheels, customizable buttons, and multi-device profiles will all quickly become essential tools in your daily workflow. Alternatively, those suffering from wrist pain should check out the MX Vertical or the MX Ergo; I favor the latter, and it didn't take me long at all to get used to the trackball style.

If you're a gamer, it's the Razer Basilisk v3 Pro. The Razer Basilisk v3 Pro has already been featured as one of our favorite wireless gaming mice because it has a set of killer top-of-the-line features and a shape that will fit even the largest hands. It's expensive, but you get what you pay for here.

If you're shopping on a smaller budget, the Logitech Signature M650 is an excellent choice. It's the best value productivity pick but is also the best left-handed mouse for productivity users. The option to specify a left or right configuration (an option notably missing from the MX Master), as well as the two size options are important features that will provide a completely custom fit. However, if you're looking for a more budget-friendly option for gaming, the SteelSeries Rival 3 comes in wired and wireless options and is a fantastic all-around choice for gamers looking to get started on a budget.
