I'm looking for a big mouse.

Serves me right for buying cheapo ones then!

I think the set cost £30

I think the mice were about £10 so a reasonable saving if they had been reliable, but clearly I would have been better just getting a decent one in the first place.

Logitech or Microsoft for standard mice. Anything else not worth it. I also run, via an interface, a Microsoft RT2300 PS/2 keyboard, as it just suits the way I work.

Using the mouse in your left hand?
Are you normally left handed or are you using your right hand for something else?

My right hand had a camera in it to take the photo. I'm right handed.

Over 11cm apparently

It's 115mm long. That's as big as I've seen so far but I would prefer it to be at least 120mm like my old corded mouse.

Google large computer mouse...there were more hits on Amazon and elsewhere

I have had a couple of wireless mice and they were a bit small, but that doesn't matter because they were so unreliable that I gave up using them! (I am back to using a much larger old wired mouse.)

Have I just been unlucky? It seems that every wireless dongle that I've used seems to latch up after 10 or 15 minutes and then I have to unplug it and plug it back in again.

I've only had my pygmy mouse for a couple of days but it's been rock steady so far, except for its size.

Love my Logitech Mx

Just noticed I've also got a Logitech M185.

A right handed one.

I find a small mouse easier to control.

Love my Logitech Mx

Me too, my Mx mouse is six years old, looking very worn & ragged.

If for a laptop why use a mouse ? of course for a desktop there's no choice.

Because touch pads are useless. Simple. I use a CAD package to lay out circuit board designs. It needs a fair bit of precision. Touch pads aren't up to the job. Besides, I dislike them.

Mainly CAD work for me too, multi button mouse makes the workflow much easier.
The MX fits like a glove & is kind on the hand/wrist.

Yes for CAD drawing i can imagine a mouse is useful, for regular computer work i've never found the need for one since switching to MacBooks.
