I was wondering if there was a place or model of things like mice, game controllers, and even console controllers made for people with large hands that aren't apesh!tly priced and 100$+. I bought the biggest mouse I could find that didn't suck (logitech mx3somesuch) and even then, only my fingertips touch it and it's still not entirely comfortable to use. My Gamecube controller is small as hell in my hands too, and I have to use my middle joint to press the Z button o_o
Just wondering if there were options so I can game comfortably :)
Thanks :cool:

I guess I am, but the problem is if anything xbox touches my skin I burst into flames. I can find mice specifically made for hands larger than 8.25" from the base to the end of the middle finger, but they're usually over 100 frickin' dollars (http://www.ergopro.com/index.cfm?obj=prodDetails&pID=408) and ugly =P
I seem to remember that this model by Kensington (http://kensington.com/html/4006.html) felt awesome and I could actually let it rest in my hand, but the local computer stores are conveniently always sold out (even display models) so I can't give it another go before dropping 30 dollars on one online :p That's a lot when you're an unemployed student :p

I'm only 6'4", but I'm skinny as hell (160lbs). This introduces lots of problems (who the hell carries 34x34 pants or 15.5 shoes/sandals/socks?), and I've been able to cope with having tiny mice, but I've been having a problem with stiffness in the wrist lately that's worrying me :(
Try and find a mouse from the older Logitech Series, they were a bit bigger than all the new models, check if you can get you (big :p) hands on a Logitech iFeel mouse:
