If you have a big hand, should you get a big mouse? If you have long/short fingers...?
Little mices are for kids?
Are little mices more comfortable and fast-usable than big ones? What about their weight? Less weight, easier to move?
WHAT ABOUT THEIR SHAPE? More or less FLAT, more or less WIDE, more or less LONG, more or less THICK?
If someone have an opinion or finds anything on the Internet about this issue I would appreciate and give him/her my "Best Answer".
OR E-MAIL ME, PLEASE!
WHAT IS YOUR OPINION?
Is your mouse comfortable enough and fast-usable? Did you ever experienced wrist or hand pain?

Mouse is a "minor peripheral" that we use all the time, especially when browsing on the Internet. I find it very very important!

We use it hours a day when not typing using the keyboard. So it is the most important input (control) peripheral. The monitor is more important but it is an output peripheral.

I like a wireless optical mouse -- does not require a mouse pad. Suggest you go to store and fit check the mouse into your hand to get the one that "feels right." Get one that has a scroll bar in the middle between the left and right clickers, so you can easily scroll down page. I had one once that had thumb and forefinger clickers, but found it awkward to use. I don't experience pain from using mouse, but expect someone with arthritis might. Could do hand exercises from time to time if hand is in "mouse position" for extended period. People can get carpal tunnel in wrist from any repetitive motion.

Its hard for anyone to really answer your question. Not knowing what you find as 'comfortable' makes it near-impossible to tell you what to get. If I were you, I would go to stores (such as Best Buy, Circuit City, Etc...) and feel the display mice. You don't get the exact weight and resistance, but you will get the ergonomic feel and can take it from there. I would recommend the Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer 2.0. Myself, and a few other people (with varying hand sizes) use it and have no problems. It's wireless, has a very long battery life, and enough buttons for the average user. Good luck!

The mouse should have a size so that you can held it and move it easily and comfortably. I also agree with you that big hand needs big mouse and little mices for kids.

After it gets to a certain size it's called a rat.
Very weird question to ask, I've never seen anyone concerned about such a minor peripheal such as the mouse. Most people are concerned about their processor and motherboard.
So therefore I find it hard to think this is a serious question, as it seems common sense that you are going to buy a mouse according to your comfort with it, therefore my first response.

How about you go to the store and try out some mouses that they have in stock. Hold it in your hand, move it around, smell it, lick it.
Get a good feel of who your new mouse is.

A mouse of just the right size makes your hand fit onto it just as a glove of just the right size fits onto your hand.
Hope this helps.
