    What would be a good mouse with understated looks? Not too light . I have 17,5cm long and 8cm wide, palm grip. Thanks in advance

    Without knowing more specifics, my go-to recommendation is the Logitech M705 Marathon Mouse. It's pretty much as close to perfect as you can get, for a general purpose mouse.

    Are you a gamer? Or is this for general / productivity use?

    The Razer DeathAdder is a fairly good choice anyway and fits within those dimensions, might be worth a look.

    I have Logitech G300s in my gaming computer. I'm also using older G300 in my second computer, it is same style mouse just older model. I like small ambidexterous mice. This works both palm and finger grip for me, depends on what I do.

    I recommend checking out the Logitech G502, and the Logitech G900; they're quite effective for gaming sessions, and even for everyday use.

    I bought an EVGA torqx 10 on sale once and it was way too small for me, It actually gave me cramps in my hand so it sits in one of my boxes filled with spa=re PC parts.

    If you have a best buy around you can go try out a few, it's a personal choice which makes it hard give advice on.

    I would look at RAT3 or higher very small and lovely hold. I since have bought two new mice and none of them are as nice to use.

    Very busy looking but definitely a smaller mouse, should work well.

    I got a Logitech G502 for my sister at Christmas. She has small hands and she has been pretty happy with it. I wouldn't call the mouse small, but it isn't large either.

    The look isn't exactly understated, but it isn't too "in your face" either: https://www.logitechg.com/en-ca/product/g502-proteus-spectrum-rgb-gaming-mouse

    You should be able to turn off the LEDs and the black version looks like something that was designed with an ergonomic grip in mind rather than something that screams gamer like other mice may.

    I have a Razer Orochi at work. It's been in operation essentially for eight hours a day, five days a week for three straight years and has been reliable as the day I bought it.

    The Logitech g102 is not that bad. My gf has tiny hands and she feels its comgortable. Its a marked down version of the g pro. But look at the reviews. They are almost the same but for more than half the price less.

    Came here to say exactly this. It is a very small and compact mouse. Can both be wireless (bluetooth) or wired. Does not look too gamer-ish.

    Do you travel with it much? I'm in need of a reliable mouse I can plug/unplug a lot and throw in a bag daily.

    I don't travel with it at all. I don't know if current versions of the Orochi are better, but mine is the original and it has abysmal battery life so I use it wired all the time. I only bought it because it was extremely cheap. If you want a good, portable wireless mouse, look no further than the Logitech M705.

    I'm actually more interested in the wired side, I consider wireless to be more of a liability than an asset for peripherals.

    Then an Orochi would probably work well for you, though you would need Razer Synapse to really get the most out of it (programming buttons, etc).

    Hopefully I'll have some hands on with both in the near future to decide.
