I'd like to get a wireless mouse to carry round with me and use with my laptop. Ideally I'd prefer to spend under £20 but the rule seems to be that the lower the price, the smaller the mouse.

I've tried Logitech's M185/M220 and M171 but both are too small for my long fingers! There's an M315 or something like that but it only seems to be sold as part of a bundle with a keyboard.If the M185 was about 1-2cm longer it would be perfect.

I don't need any fancy features, just needs to be plug and play and compatible with both Windows and Mac. I definitely don't want a gaming mouse and would prefer not to have an ergonomically shaped one (i.e. one that's shaped to fit within the user's right hand) as I occasionally use the 'wrong' hand if I'm working on two machines at once.

I'm only really familiar with Logitech as a brand so have only looked at their stuff, but I'm just wondering if someone can recommend a model of mouse within my budget that might do the trick.

Thanks so much

Very subjective process with respect to "fit and feel".

My suggestion is to visit a few "big box" stores where you can go literally "hands on" with the display mice.

Get a sense of their fit and feel to your hand and the quality and construction of the mouse as well.

And you may also discover that a small wrist rest or bean bag support can help with how a mouse fits and feels.

Experiment with a few such accessories. For example, fill a sock with popcorn kernels or dried beans. Determine if some wrist support can make a difference. May open up more mice as potential choices.

If you are able to identify two or three mice that seem comfortable and viable with respect to your hands then check the technical specifications to...

If you are able to identify two or three mice that seem comfortable and viable with respect to your hands then check the technical specifications to ensure that those mice meet your other requirements.

Likely that some trade-offs will be necessary: e.g., budget, ergonometric product etc..
