I've got extremely large hands and this has shown itself to be something of a problem because there don't appear to be any mice that are large enough for me to play with, despite following up on some recommendations I've received.

My most recent attempt to purchase a mouse that would be an adequate size was purchasing a "Razer Deathadder" which many people had claimed was gigantic and I often read that people were unable to use it because it was simply too large for them. This has not proven to be the case for me, it is still far too small for me.

I'm hoping that people can give me some ideas on what a good, extremely large mouse would be. Although I would prefer a gaming mouse at this point I'd simply be happy to have ANY mouse that would fit properly in my hand. Well, any mouse that had a bare minimum DPI of 800 (though 1000+ or adjustable would be the best possible solution).

All suggestions are appreciated and researched. Thank You.

What's your budget like? I can recommend a few mouses that I own which are pretty huge (too much for me, ha!) but I'm not sure what your wallet is like. :3
Money isn't a problem, I'm willing to shell out a lot at this point because even outside of playing games I'd want something that's comfortable to use.

You'll be looking at the G500 or G400 logictech. If you could tell us your hand span perhaps I or someone else can give us an objective measure on "big".

Must not make Of Mice and Men joke.

My advice is to try Dell, they always seem to be quite generous with their mouse casings.

F*ck.

I haven't been able to respond to this thread for a little while since I've been busy, but to answer an earlier question my handspan is 26cm. Keep the suggestions coming people, I'm looking into everything that people are bringing up.

I didn't know handspan was even a thing people considered when buying a mouse.
My handspan is aprox. 25cm and I use a tiny mouse, and it doesn't affect my usage of it at all.
Odd.

Apparently it also has a lot to do with where your center of balance is and that can be dependent on things like limb length and overall height and size (for example I'm 6"6").

But yeah, I still want some absurdly large monstrosity of a mouse, I wish I could use some regular mouse.

Did you ever end up finding one you liked? I have a few more suggestions if you haven't. :)
I'm really considering some of the suggestions so far, but I'm still looking for more options before I settle so new input is still really appreciated.

sorry for the hyjack but I wanted to comment on this issue as I also suffer the curse of gigantic hands

its not necessarily about the spread of your hands as you don't tend to cover the mouse with your fingers, more the palm really.
My hand spread is only 260mm but my hands are truly huge.
I currently use the biggest mouse that I know of the MS Explorer Intellimouse 4.0 and even that is dwarfed by my hand and I get constant aching in the palms of my hands.

My present Explorer mouse has expired and I desperately need a new mouse

heres the size of the problem .

couldn't find a replacement mouse so I repaired my old mouse.
The Intellimouse Explorer 4.0 mouse is a large mouse , accutate and smooth and well worth trying to find one if you have huge hands like mine.

I only have about a 20/21ish cm hand span, but I have the steelseries WoW mouse, and I find it's quite a bit bigger than would be optimal for me, though I don't know if that'd still be too small for you, so maybe you could look into that.

I have a hand span of 26 cm as well, have tried most of the mice that I see suggested, but they all feel to small, so I am eager to try anything. Anyone tried this one though:

I'm thinking about ordering it, seems almost too big though with it's dimensions of 10,5cm x 17,5cm.
