Having large hands can get annoying, especially if you want fast movements with your gaming mice. That’s why having gaming mice for big hands can alleviate a lot of problems from skill issues to wrist, forearm, or even shoulder pains.
Big hands classify as anything from 20cm/7.87in x 10cm/3.93in (length and width, respectively). If you fall under those measurements, then it’s time to grab yourselves some gaming mice for big hands.
We’re here to lend you a hand in that endeavor, regardless of your grip choice– though if you prefer a full claw grip, then you can get away with smaller mice. Regardless, you might want to try out these options or give them consideration.

Logitech G502 X Plus Lightspeed
PROS
- Lots of programmable buttons
- Fast sensor
- Buttons received a durability upgrade
- Sleek and minimalist design
- Thumb rest
- Pretty yet subtle RGB
- Comes in white and black
- Light
CONS
- Expensive
Specs:
- 131.4 mm x 79.2 mm x 41.1 mm
- 25k sensor
- 120 hours (with Lightspeed and RGB)
- 13 programmable buttons
The Logitech G502 lineup has always been one of the most popular and most successful gaming mice in the industry and its latest and greatest is none other than the G502 X Plus. The name is still recognizable but it fixed a lot of the original G502’s shortcomings and how has more durable buttons and tougher rubber pads.
As for the size, this is perfect for most medium to large hands, and the thumb rest is unexpectedly comfortable for wide hands while still allowing you an encompassing palm grip. The only downside is the expense, but that’s to be expected.
Razer Basilisk V3 X HyperSpeed
PROS
- Good battery life
- Fast sensor
- Sleek and minimalist design
- Comes in white and black
- Razer Chroma integration
- Somewhat affordable
CONS
- It's a bit short
- Needs a AA battery
- Battery adds to the weight
Specs:
- 5.12 x 2.96 x 1.67 inches
- 18k sensor
- 285 hours (with HyperSpeed and RGB)
- 9 programmable buttons
It’s smaller than the G502 but the Basilisk V3 X HyperSpeed from Razer still comes with that handy thumb rest so your whole arm doesn’t have to lift your hand too much, leading to reduced strain.
One big advantage the Basilisk V3 X has over the G502 is the more robust battery life which is more than double and if you opt to use Bluetooth, you can make it last for more than 500 hours. Palm grip for large hands, however, might be a little too uncomfortable with this one.
ASUS ROG Spatha X Wireless Gaming Mouse
PROS
- Comes with a charging dock
- Fast sensor
- Lots of programmable buttons
- Wide and bulky build
- Thumb rest
- Ring finger notch rest
CONS
- Expensive
- A bit heavy
- Button crowding on the thumb area
Specs:
- 137(L)x89(W)x45(H) mm
- 19k sensor
- 12 programmable buttons
If you hate it when your thumb, pinky, or ring finger touches the mousepad or mouse mat as it can add friction to your mouse movements, then something like the ASUS ROG Spatha X might be the solution. It’s a premium mouse from ASUS that comes with an aggressive brutalist design.
It’s also wide enough to accommodate all your fingers so if your hand is reasonably wide, then none of your fingers might touch the mousepad (or only the pinky). For programmable buttons, there are almost too many to count here and all of them are situated in places where your index finger or thumb can reach.
Logitech G303 Shroud Edition Wireless Gaming Mouse
PROS
- Ambidextrous design
- Calibrated for Shroud's preference
- Fast sensor
- Easy to move around due to its shape
- Good for claw grip
- Light
CONS
- Pricey
- Bland and uninspiring design
Specs:
- 2.75 x 1.57 x 4.6 inches
- 25k sensor
- 5 programmable buttons
Some of you might prefer a more ergonomic option at the cost of a thumb or ring finger rest. You might as well go with the suggestions of a pro, specifically the Logitech G303 Shroud Edition. It’s advertised and preferred by Shroud; he’s one of the most prominent FPS e-sports athletes right now.
This mouse kept things simple with the modest button count and almost office-desk design. Underneath the hood, however, it comes packed with the same sensor as the G502 X Plus and a robust wireless capability thanks to Logitech Lightspeed.
Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro
PROS
- Those buttons can and might just last forever
- Long and sleek design
- No more mono-shell rattle present in the V2 Pro
- Fast sensor
- Lighter than it looks
- You can go for the older V2 Pro variant and not lose much
CONS
- Expensive
- No Chroma RGB
- You can go for the older V2 Pro variant and not lose much
Specs:
- 5.01 x 2.65 x 1.69 inches
- 30k sensor
- 90-hour battery life (HyperSpeed)
- 5 programmable buttons
Razer’s DeathAdder lineup has always competed well with Logitech as a flagship gaming mouse. Now, Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro raises that banner even higher with its better sensor and deviation from the mono-shell button design. There’s less rattle for the LMB and RMB here.
More importantly, the buttons are more durable and each one can last up to a whopping 90 million clicks. Paired with a lighter actuation, you actually need to put less effort into your input. And the long, right-handed form factor allows for a true palm grip. If you find this one still too expensive, you can always go for the Razer DeathAdded V2 Pro version which is still quite close in terms of performance.
