Overall Ergonomics
Look for a mouse that sits well in your hand, supports your thumb and wrists, and has a comfortable feel even after hours of use. Not everyone will feel comfortable using a vertical mouse or a trackball mouse, and the same can be said for a more simple horizontal mouse.Smaller mice relative to your hand size are sometimes easier to micro adjust, as in you can drag the mouse toward the base of your palm or to the sides. I personally think width and height are more influential. My hand is wide and narrow mice cause me a lot of wrist pain.

If you want to try a lighter mouse, it's always worth experimenting, but don't feel like your mouse is "wrong" for being too hravy. There are plenty of good mice around 90-100g, and if you're comfortable with that then it could just be your preference.
The two important measures are the length and width, simply use a tape measure and jot down the length from your middle finger to the bottom of your hand (wrist). To compare, my hand size is 19.5cm long and 10cm wide which means medium to large gaming mice are most suitable for me and my mouse grip style is claw grip.
The most common mouse grip, this style involves laying the palm and fingers flat across the mouse, and using the entirety of the index and middle fingers to click. Some users also prefer to use their ring fingers on the right button and their middle fingers on the scroll wheel.
Hands come in all different shapes and sizes. The average length of an adult male's hand is 7.6 inches — measured from the tip of the longest finger to the crease under the palm. The average length of an adult female's hand is 6.8 inches.
Properly Using Your Mouse
- Hold the computer mouse loosely- do not firmly grip.
- Do not rest your wrist or forearms on the mousing surface.
- Have your upper arm hanging close into your side.
- Your elbow should be bent at 90 degrees.
- Do not use wrist rests because they can cut off blood supply through the wrist.
- Take frequent breaks!
Grip Style & Size Recommendations
The Model O is a medium-sized mouse and therefore lends itself more towards medium to large hands. At 12.8cm it is longer than the G Pro wireless, G403, Zowie FK1 / EC2-B. But it is very low lying at only 3.75cm high.Fingertip Grip. The Fingertip grip is the most extreme of the three. The Tip grip, as the name suggests, is a type of grip where only the tips of the fingers are used to hold are drive the mouse. This grip is used to move the mouse as rapid as possible with the least strain on the hand and the wrist.
Palm grip. Palm is popular. Sarah Tew/CNET. Just like it sounds, a palm grip means most of your palm rests on the mouse and much of your fingers do, too. This is the most popular grip type and since your hand is relaxed and resting on the mouse, it's comfortable.
The best Razer mouse we've tested so far is the Razer Viper Ultimate. This wireless gaming mouse is fairly small and short and is well-suited for people using a fingertip grip or a claw grip. If you're more of a palm grip user, there's an ergo-shaped alternative, the Razer Basilisk Ultimate.
Measure from the top of your middle finger to the base of your palm. The base of your palm is the meaty part where your hand meets your wrist. Write down the measurement. If the length of your hand is longer than the circumference, use this size in inches over the hand circumference.
As its name suggest, the hand is arched up with less contact points on the mouse, forming a claw like shape. Compare to the palm grip type mice, claw grip mice are more suitable for fast gliding and provide users the feeling of control when moving fast back and forth across the screen.
Actually, they like to eat fruits, seeds and grains. They are omnivorous, which means they eat both plants and meat, and the common house mice will eat just about anything it can find. In fact, if food is scarce, mice will even eat each other.
You should offer your snake feeder mice or rats that are roughly the size of the snake at the snake's widest part (the mid-body area). In other words, the feeder rodent should be 1 to 11/2 times the diameter of your snake's middle. You can go slightly larger than this, but not much.
There are three main styles of mouse grips—palm, claw, and tip/fingertip. How you hold your mouse can make a big difference in your reaction time, agility, and comfort.
My new rule of thumb (according to my chart) is that you should feed your snake about 10 times less than the snakes weight (in grams).
| Weight of python (grams) | Size to Feed (grams) | Common Name |

| 100-199 | 13-20 | Weanling Mice (or small rat pups) |
| 200-349 | 21-30 | Rat Pups |
| 350-499 | 31-45 | Rat Weanling |
| 500-799 | 46-79 | Small Rat |
