Recommend me a mouse for big ass hands.

I just got this new computer mouse, a Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 7000. It's supposed to be some uber accurate ergonomic mouse. It is uber accurate, but it's ergosucksassforlargehands. I'll be honest it's a pretty big mouse, but it just doesn't feel right.
I was using a Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse 2.0 before, and I guess I liked that one pretty well but the paint was worn off and scroll wheel went yellow and stopped scrolling smoothing... It was it was getting nasty.
Anyone have any recommendations for a mouse for large hands? For size reference, my palms are around 4 inches wide and from tip of my middle finger to base of wrist is about 8 inches.
Edit: yzzz, I googled it. Google's results were all old and inconclusive.

This one.

Logitech G5, customizable weights, 3 speed cursor setting, 2 extra programmable buttons for quickly going back and forward through websites.

Microsoft sucks. I always had Logitechs and love them. I have the about the same hands as you, I had Logitech Mx510 for 6 years or so, and still have no intention of getting rid of it. It's awesome, both accuracy and ergonomics. There are lots of new models today, some of them look really big, give them a look. Oh yeah, Logitech are great only if you're right handed, at least that was back in the day, I'm sure they have left handed models today, but the point is they're not symmetrical. EDIT: That G5 seems amazing, it's the same shape as my old 510, semms like they altered the position of buttons a bit.

He wants to move it around and click, not jerk it off.

I also have the G5 and have been satisfied for years. They make a wireless version I think.

That is the mouse I used to have until it broke and they sent me the new version, the g500 as the G5 is no longer made.
I have the same size hands as RP and I think it could be a little bigger, but it still works just fine for me, just my pinky drags a bit on the mouse pad.
I keep seeing the RAZER DeathAdder being mentioned in large hand discussions.

Even with the largest mouse i've found, my hands are still too big.

I have small hands and I find a standard mouse to be uncomfortable

Thanks for the suggestions so far. I'm looking for a wireless mouse though, I have enough cords all over my desk.

It's the G7. Been using it for years, and the batteries last forever (rechargeable station plugs into USB).
