Gaming Mouse for Large Hands

[Richie]

I have a rather old Corsair M65 mouse but its suffered the usual middle mouse button failure which seems to plague these mice so need a replacement.

Having rather large hands (24cm span) I am looking for something that will be comfortable and also have some programmable buttons (not needing lots, just 4-5 over and above the standard 3 buttons - left/right/middle)

I did start looking at the Corsair Ironclaw but it appears that, from reading around, these also suffer from the scroll wheel issues

Anyone got ideas of something similar to that but reliable?

I'm not a huge fan of turtle beach so... their aquisition of roccat wasn't something I was thrilled about but... gave them a(nother) chance.

I've had a BUTTLOAD of mice. Probably 10/15+ in the last decade or so. The Roccat Kone XP (or XP air if you must have wireless) MIGHT just fit the bill.
Has a couple of extra buttons (like the G700/G502). Has better switches (keeping the Roccat thing of their hardware generally being awesome). The software side of things is VASTLY improved since TB took over too.

So.. maybe worth a look. I don't usually do the "buy what I've got!!" thing but I'm probably, after a lot of looking on my ideal mouse.

I'll have a look and see if they do a non-RGB version as well... I dont mind RGB but its a bit OTT on a mouse for me

Case IS see through but it turns off
Mines on a relatively pleasant "flavours of orange".

I get the annoyance at paying for OTT RGB that won't be a personal plus but it genuinely wasn't something I was "going for" and wouldn't have been disappointed without it for the price.

TBH, I had a quick look and I like the 4 thumb button arrangement on there which would be good for some games I have.... I actually like my Corsair M65 but the problems with their middle mouse button are just annoying now (I do use it quite a bit)
