Hello,
I had a look for a specific mice/peripherals sub-forum and didn't see one so hopefully it's ok to post this here.
I'm looking for some help in finding a mouse for my partner. We do a fair bit of gaming together and at the moment she has a bog-standard mouse and therefore has to use keyboard keys for stuff that I have buttons for on my 5-button mouse. The problem is that she has fairly severe arthritis; what this means is that her hands (already quite small) are sort of, well, squished, meaning she cannot use a large or even larger-than-average mouse comfortably. On a standard gaming-size mouse her reduced hand span means her thumb would always be resting on the side buttons and pressing them without meaning to (if you rest your hand on a mouse like a Logitech G5 then kinda squish your hand together you'll see what I mean). However, she would like to be able to use a mouse with buttons to avoid having to use keyboard keys for melee and other stuff, which can be very fiddly.
So, what I'm looking for is a gaming-suitable mouse, reasonably small, with extra buttons, that is compact and suitable for someone with reduced mobility in their hand. Everything needs to be in reach, but not in the way. I appreciate that's a tough ask, and it's tricky to describe exactly what she needs in a written description, but any help or suggestions would be welcome. Birthday soon and I think it'd be a cool pressie!
Many thanks in advance.
