I have a very similar hand size to yours, and I have tried many mice in the past few weeks. I usually play with a relaxed claw grip. If any shop where you live offers a return policy or allows you to try mice in their shop, I would suggest that. Your palm should have decent support, and all of your fingers should be able to rest naturally. I didn't like the Viper V3 Pro because it was too narrow in the middle, and the clicks caused my fingers to go into a V shape. My pinky had no place to rest. The Maya X and Superlight 2 are much more comfortable and universal for symmetrical mice. For ergos, I might recommend the EC2 or Xlite V4 medium, which are very popular shapes. I believe that mice under 122x62x40 will feel weird if you sometimes palm your mice and are used to good palm support. Smaller mice would work, but you need a different grip style with your hand size.
r/MouseReview • Help finding a mouse ->The sound of Zowie EC's scroll wheel can drive you crazy, though. It's too loud, too squeaky. Probably one of the worst-sounding scroll wheels I've ever come across.
r/MouseReview • Mouse between Logitech Dex and DAv3HS ->I've used a Zowie EC2 for almost 6 years now and can highly recommend it
r/QuakeChampions • Gaming Mouse ->I dont have particularly big hands, but for some reason ive prefered larger mouses, and have been having a great time with my Zowie ec2: [https://zowie.benq.com/en-us/mouse/ec2.html](https://zowie.benq.com/en-us/mouse/ec2.html)
r/pcmasterrace • Help for a mouse that fits my hand ->Same as well. Reminds me of my EC2B and having the battery % on the display is super helpful too.
r/MouseReview • Retiring my DeathAdder V3 Pro - what are the best mice with a similar shape in 2025? ->FWIW I see the 502 suggested for people with big hands but I find the actual width of the part of the mouse you grip is not very large. Lots of things to consider, but I've got 20 cm x 11 cm hands and have settled on the DAV3 wired version. I've found the mouse width and desired shape (symmetrical vs ergo) to be the most important factors when looking for a mouse. Other mice I've tried and liked include the ZOWIE EC2 (look into EC1), Razer DAV2 Pro, and Logitech g403/703. Good luck!
r/MouseReview • Best mouse for large hands ->I find this quite strange because I share the same concerns as you, but unlike you, the curved side of the EC2 is why I always used mice based on that; IME 3.0, and then EC2 versions over the years (EC2 OG with glossy sides, EC2 Blue rubberised, and a few years ago the EC2-DW. However, I switched to the Vaxee AX O because I experienced some skipping issues with a few EC2-DW units. My Vaxee has recently given me some double-clicking issues after a year and a half, and I'm thinking what's next
r/MouseReview • My issue transitioning away from g305. Has anyone been through the same thing? What mouse did you end up getting? ->Ergo: Zowie EC2: my preference is palm and it fits my hand very well for that. I have gained a lot of stability with this mouse (most noticeably in cs) being able to just simply get my crosshair on the target in a more controlled and consistent manner. Symmetrical: GPX/GPX 2: Part of it being it's the first shape I ever used with the old G pro wireless. But it's also, for me, the shape/size that offers the most utility. I can palm or claw if I want to, have always had great target tracking on it, ability to hit nasty flicks, while also feeling stable in slower fps games.

I actually have one of those just sitting in the drawer. Didn't like the shape or how damn heavy it is lol I don't mind the weight of my Ec2-b or my Fk1+ which is 90gband 93g I think, but the m65 pro is like 115G I think with the weights and it has that heavy metal body. I'll probably end up giving it away or something Also have the G pro x superlight which is only like 60G. It's a good mouse, probably better for people with smaller or medium small hands The Zowie wired mice are great. Haven't tried the wireless though.. those are a bit expensive
r/MouseReview • Looking like a new mouse like mine ->I have 22 cm and vxe R1 is really small in my hands, i suggest you the Zowie EC2
r/MouseReview • View on Reddit →The wired zowie is better than all these 3. U will de dissapointed if u want it yo be ec2 level. What about Deathadder hyperspeed? that would be way better than all 3 and doesnt cost much more i think

r/MouseReview • View on Reddit →Using Ec2 love it, but no idea about wireless version...
r/csgo • View on Reddit →Same hand size and but with relaxed claw grip. Really like the EC2. Ec1 forces me in to a full palm so get that if you want palm
r/MouseReview • View on Reddit →The EC2 is medium-large mouse, roughly the same size as the Superlight. EC3 is a better option if the Superlight is too large.
r/MouseReview • View on Reddit →Most comfortable? Probably an ergo like an Ec2. But I aim the best with op1 8k
r/MouseReview • View on Reddit →I don't think the ec1 is good for your hand side and grip. I'm the same size and like the ec2 better with a claw grip. Ec1 is comfy for full palm but always found it terrible for micro adjustments
r/MouseReview • View on Reddit →not op but been using ec2 for cs2 and its god tier if you have a claw grip. ive had the mouse for 9 years without fail
r/MouseReview • View on Reddit →Absolutely! Ec1 is only good for Palm gripping with 20Cm+ hands. Ec2 with any type of relaxed claw is a much better pick.
r/MouseReview • View on Reddit →Depends EC for ergonomic, fk for claw/fingertip, s/za/u for claw grip
r/MouseReview • View on Reddit →Used Zowie EC2 iirc, great mouse very durable. Used Steelseries something, it sucked in terms of durability and quality, wheel became loose rather quickly. Used Logitech G300 or whatever that wireless basic model is, decent mouse. Using G502 wireless now, good mouse. To be honest mouse is not very much important so long as it works decent enough. Not a big fan of many buttons or lighting or macros etc, 2 extra side buttons is enough and a life changer for casual internet browsing imo. I prefer my mouse a bit on the bigger side and don't like superlight mice so G502 is good on that regard.
r/DotA2 • View on Reddit →Ec1 is larger and forces a palm grip even with pretty large hands. Most people will be much better off with the ec2 and if you use relaxed claw it's much better for micro adjustments while still offering a tonne of stability. I use an ec2 with 20x11cm hands and a relaxed claw
r/MouseReview • View on Reddit →hehe, as an autist that has been through 15+ mices, the one that I had that lasted the longest was the EC2-B back in the days, I still have it and use it sometimes, not available right now, but the wireless version EC2-DW is out, but I don't know what kind of grip/style they have. I have also used logitech superlight and some other ones, and I do recommend the superlight, but after 1 year use it's fully broken, if I move it a bit you hear all sorts of sounds inside. But I do recommend the superlight, but they probably have smaller hands, then again I don't know. I used to rock the deathadder when I was young, they were very big compared to my hand, but god damn they were so good. I tend to use heavier mices now as I feel like they are more steady
r/MouseReview • View on Reddit →ERGO: Zowie EC2 is the gold standard for ergo shapes. Almost every popular ergo mouse has cloned this one, check it out if you haven't. AMBI: Zowie FK1/2 and Logitech GPX. Razer cloned the FK1 shape for the older Viper models and the V3 is a GPX inspired shape.
r/MouseReview • View on Reddit →Gpx if you're not price sensitive and wanting a safe option that'll let you experiment with different grip styles. Viper v3 is a solid pick too with a better sensor, coating (get white), and weight but has a slightly more restrictive shape and could be on the larger size for your hands. Tons of ergonomic options too if you prefer that - I've tried the ec2 and thought it was super comfy. Though after buying like 9 more mice I still perform the best with the gpx lol. Everything is pretty good nowadays and battery life is great. I recommend playing on 2k polling for the best blend of performance and battery life.
r/MouseReview • View on Reddit →Honestly, not everyone playing at an above average tier or even pro level will have benefits from low weight. Its really a matter of aim styles, grips, body and arm position, etc. I can only find my ideal sens for both flicks and tracking with a bit more weight, without it, one is always a bit off. You just gotta look around, many pros in many games still use mice like the ec2 or even the deathadder. Low weight is not better, its just more suited to the majority (i agree with that). And Im all about diminishing returns , its super fun to maximize potential! But in my case and many others in my gaming circles a bit of weight can give better results no matter if you play slow, super fast, etc. It's really personal "preference". I wish these things were predictable, my wallet would be happier !
r/MouseReview • View on Reddit →Similar hand size and I use relaxed claw. While I vaguely tried to follow the small mice rule, none of those were great for comfort. Talking about the VXE R1/Mad R size. Those were giving me pain around the little finger. The comfortable ones were mid to large sized. EC2, S1, Haste, DAV3 were infinitely better. Currently using ATK Z1 (EC2 clone) and it has been great. My conclusions were - length of more than 120mm and grip width of 62mm or more.
r/MouseReview • View on Reddit →i feel like nobody uses large mice anymore, but rather they just palm smaller mice like gpx and ec2, razer vv3 razer Dav3hyperspeed. Niko the only one using dav3, even spinx switched to zowie ec2 now
r/MouseReview • View on Reddit →I got my first Deathadder in 2009. I had two of the original model, one 3.5 and one 4G. In 2015, I bought a Zowie EC that I've been using near daily for the past decade.
r/pcmasterrace • View on Reddit →Ec2 seems the way shape wise tbh. The rapoo vt3 pro seems interesting too from a shape perspective, or the vt3s gen 2 its slightly shorter though.
r/MouseReview • View on Reddit →yeah get ec1. even as a mere 19cm i can't get along well enough with ec2 using palm grip.
r/MouseReview • View on Reddit →I adore ergoes from mx518 to ec2, everything
r/MouseReview • View on Reddit →I wouldnt say that, its just made for palm grip for medium-small hands. I have medium hands, my friend has small, I use this and he uses the ec2-cw, completely fine
r/MouseReview • View on Reddit →Something ergo from zowie/ deathadder V3 pro / deathadder V3 hyperspeed / Vaxee
r/MouseReview • View on Reddit →not sure what you mean by 3 mode. but ergo mice like the EC series by zowie, death adder series, FK2-DW(ambi), Maya X(ambi), GPX Dex, but it entirely depends on your hand size and preferences
r/MouseReview • View on Reddit →>In my opinion most ergos feel more or less the same with minor differencies I couldn't disagree more. For example, I can't stand the Dav3 shape, it's super unconfortable, too long, the front flair hits my finger... The classic EC2 shape feels much better, and recently got the x3 which is close to my favorite shape (G403/G703) which feels so much more natural to use than anything else. This is all just for me as this is VERY subjective. As for the Dex I haven't tried it, but except the shape, what is different from the superlight 2? I feel specs wise logitech fell far behind everyone else.
r/MouseReview • View on Reddit →FK2 is super low, I wouldn't recommend it for claw. S2 or U2 would give much more lower / middle palm support. I wasn't convinced by U2 as it locks you in a specific grip and it will be a hit or miss. EC2 would be perfect for palm grip and ok for relaxed claw, but something like a DAV3HS works much better for claw grip, which is because the clicks are lower and the hump is more in the middle of its length.
r/MouseReview • View on Reddit →For ergo razer deathadder v3 hyperspeed/Pulsar Xlite v4 medium/Pulsar Zywoo medium size/Zowie ec2 or anything around the same size would be great for your hand size and grip style. But if you want an ambidextrous mouse, you cannot go wrong with Logitech G Pro X Superlight 1 or 2 for starters.
r/MouseReview • View on Reddit →Its the same length as ec2, only a bit wider.
r/MouseReview • View on Reddit →looks like pincer claw try zowie ec mice
r/MouseReview • View on Reddit →Bro, everything is good for palm. I never seen a mouse i cant palm, even the g303 i palmed lol. 0 discomfort, even palm the gwolves mini mice (18/10 hands). My fav shapes were za12 ec2 mx518
r/MouseReview • View on Reddit →Look into the Zowie ec2, classic proven cs mouse
r/counterstrike2 • View on Reddit →As someone who has had the DAV3 Pro and DEX, tried the NP-01s, Xlite and the EC2... For shape, it's the DEX hands down. Build could be a little better for the price but shape is king/queen. Note: hands are 20.5 x 11cm and I use relaxed claw. I've also heard good things about the E1 but I can't find a 3D scan of it anywhere.
r/MouseReview • View on Reddit →Basically any ergo mouse, ie. Deathadder v3 or v4. ZOWIE EC. There's hundreds of good ergo mice out there.
r/MouseReview • View on Reddit →I would like to say that ive had my zowie ec2 for ~10 years and am only now thinking of an upgrade. Mice can last a very long time, I wouldnt even change mice but mine double clicks on left mouse and one of the side buttons, and the scroll wheel doesnt work that well anymore
r/MouseReview • View on Reddit →No Zowie on the FPS list is kinda crazy to me. Zowie is BenQs mouse brand, it's a no frills very high quality mouse. No software no firmware updates, 4 DPI presets. They are consistently the best FPS mice I've owned. On the flip side, Logi G600 is hands down the best MMO mouse, it actually promotes me to be so lazy with keybinds I find myself using it in games other than MMOs. Protip: the older Logi Gaming Software works way better than the newer LGS for the G600.
r/pcmasterrace • View on Reddit →Viper v3 pro is my current favorite symmetrical shape, but if you were interested in trying ergos I've been using a pulsar xlite for a while now and it just melts perfectly into my hand. My current favorite ec2 clone
r/MouseReview • View on Reddit →It's not that weird. That's a pincer claw grip with a strange thumb position. I do the same, but with the thumb below the buttons. Zowie EC2, Lamzu thorn, G Pro superlight, Asus Harpe Ace work for me. Might work for you too. Zowie ZA-13, Vaxee Outset AX or NP01-S get recommended for this kind of grip a lot, though I haven't tried them.
