Smaller mouse?

DampDog · 8 Jun 2018 at 11:04

I've made do with a cheap Cherry wireless mouse for ages, however finally treated myself to a Logitech G703 a couple on months back. While the mouse is better in almost every way compared to the old Cherry, it's quicker, more responsive, with loads more features, it just feels a little too big in my hand. It's a tad taller and quite a lot longer and just not as comfortable after a few hours use. To the point where it's begun to make the centre of my hand a wrist ache a little.

So is there anything out there that a little more petite in the hand. I obviously have Donald Trump 'tiny-hands' and never knew...

P.S... Suggestion don't need to be wireless

Ordered Logitech MX Anywhere 2S to replace my dying Logitech MX Master, it's small and decent, wireless though.

Cheers for that. I'll see if I can find one locally so I can take a look at one. I bought this one without seeing one in the flesh, perhaps if I'd had a quick play I may have chosen something else. That said hindsight is a wonderful thing.

Thanks anyway.

G305, G102, Zowie FK2, for example.

Cheers, the Zowie range looks interesting. I'll be honest, in that I didn't realise there mice came in a range of sizes. The FK2 does look interesting as it appears to a have a lower profile, especially when compared to my G703

It will feel a lot smaller. Specs (like length) aren't everything. It's a lot flatter (I have a FK1), and I don't like that, personally

If you like the G703 (wireless, Logitech, buttons, ect...) but feels too big, I'd be looking at the G305.

Look at the Zowie ZA13

Over the weekend I was trying to do some comparisons on size, just from dimensions published on manufacturers sites.

Logitech G703. (124 X 68 X 43) Length, width, height.
Zowie FK2 (124 X 60 X 36)
Zowie ZA13 (120 X 58 X 38)

We are only talking millimeters but the G703 is the largest of the 3 I've looked at. I think it's actually the height of the Logitech that I find uncomfortable, length wise it feels OK. The FK2 looks give or take about 7mm lower. I guess I need to try before I buy next time.

The Roccat Kone Pure is also a smaller mouse. Fits great in my smaller hands

Width 7.0 cm , Height 3.9 cm , Length 11.5 cm , Weight 93 g

The height goes a long way into feeling 'big'. The zowies are slimmer (too slim for me) and shallower, and they feel smaller.

Zowie should upgrade their ZA / FK series to the new 3360 sensor. I'd keep an eye on that.
