What's a good mouse for people with big hands??

[bruincal]

I have really big hands (measuring 8.25 inches from base of palm to tip of middle finger), and I've been using the usual IntelliMouse / Logitech Optical mice. However, because the mice are too small for me, I have to scrunch up my fingers. The result has been a constant pain and aching in my hand.
I've seen and tried out the Logitech MX700, but I find it still too small. Does anyone know of a good large mouse? Thanks!

I was going to recommend the MX500/MX700 series because they seem to be fairly large compared to other mice...

Seriously though, how about using a trackball? I've switch over to using MS Optical Trackball. Let your thumbs do the work. Also, it has a large surface area to rest your hand on.

Surely, you have Staples, Office Max, CompUSA or a BestBuy in your area? It's too hard to recommend this. I like the original MS Intelliexplorer, the gray optical one

MS IntelliMouse Explorer 3.0 should be big enough for your hand I think... I would recommend Logitech MX500, but I think Explorer 3.0 is a little bigger.

Try them at BestBuy or something.

 

[Doh!]

IntelliMouse Pro is another big one (I think it's been discontinued?). It's similar to IntelliMouse Explorer but it's really tall (vertically).

IBM do a huge grey/dark grey mouse, shaped for a right hand. The guy working next to me had one till yesterday, when it died on him, so I can't tell you the model number or anything. All I know is that it seemed a lot bigger than my mx700

My hands are about the same size (no, not trolling for dates, not here anyway).

Using an Intellimouse Optical. Not the Explorer 'cause I mouse left.

Another vote for trying out a thumb trackball.
