Measure
How to measure your hand
Length
Lay your hand flat, fingers together. Measure from the crease where your palm meets your wrist to the tip of your middle finger. Most adult hands are 17–20 cm.
Width
Measure straight across the widest part of your palm, over the knuckles at the base of your fingers. Leave your thumb out. Most adult hands are 8–10 cm.

Measure from a photo
A sheet of paper gives the most accurate result. Your photo stays on your device and is never uploaded.
- Put a sheet of A4 or US Letter paper on a darker table.
- Lay your hand flat on it, fingers together, thumb out to the side.
- Scan the code below with your phone. This page opens there and the photo takes itself.

Which grip do you use?
Hold your mouse the way you do mid-game, then pick the closest match.
Palm
Your whole palm rests on the back of the mouse and your fingers lie flat on the buttons. Comfortable for long sessions; suits longer, fuller mice with a high back.
Claw
Your palm touches only the very back of the mouse while your fingers arch up like a claw. Good mix of control and comfort; suits medium length mice with a rear hump.
Fingertip
Only your fingertips touch the mouse and your palm floats above it. Fast micro-adjustments; suits short, low, light mice.
