Finding a mouse that fills my palm

The closest mouse I have to what I'm looking for is the Roccat Savu. The palm area is big and round. The peak of the mouse is in the palm area rather than the middle of the mouse like g400 or EC1/EC2. Unfortunately the Savu as a whole is too small for me, so I'm looking for something bigger with a similar shape. Preferably a "perfect sensor" mouse.

The EC2 and EC1 leave the right side of my palm feeling really empty.
The G400 does a better job, but the ridge on the right side and the scroll wheel are just not for me.

I did do research, but it's hard to tell the exact shape from images.

Here's images of the Savu and some mice that caught my eye

Savu
Mionix Naos 7000
TT esports Saphira
CM Alcor
Steelseries Rival
Logitech g502

If you could help compare the feel of the palm on these to the Savu / G400 / EC1 / EC2 at all, that would be awesome.

sorry, not the Sensei Raw. it doesn't have a perfect sensor nor would it be great for 100% palm gripping it.

Rival is a bit skinny, so I don't think it'd work out for you either.
no comments on the Savu, sorry.
CM Alcor has very high LOD apparently, and I suspect it will feel a bit similar to the EC1? perhaps not, can't promise anything.
Saphira looks like an ambidextrous mouse, don't think it'd work out.

G502 is quite similar to the G400 but it does have a ridge on the right side as well. not as prominent as the G400 but you might want to consider that factor. otherwise, a great mouse. there's also the G402 that was just released with a similar shape.

Naos 7000 is fantastic though, and it definitely feels like your entire hand grips it when you use it. I would have loved that one as a palm gripper, but I simply am not

so, all in all, good choices but I think Naos 7000 would be the better one, and G502 as a second best option.

woops, I fixed all the image links

Can someone compare the location of the scroll wheel on the Naos 7000 to that of the G400 or EC1/EC2 or Savu?
I find that the scroll wheel is too far back on the G400, but just right on the EC1/EC2/Savu
And do the scroll steps feel similar to the G400 at all? I hate that scroll wheel.

I'm kinda worried about my ring finger and that ridge on the Naos

I haven't had an ambi mouse since I used a fingertip grip, but I don't think it's inherently incompatible with palming? It looks like a pretty beefy mouse. Part of the reason I like the Savu's back so much is because it's not slanted very much down the right side. (though it seems the reason I can't grip it well is because the right side caves inward so only my ring & pink fingertips can grip it)

It's tied with the Naos for me until I figure more out.

another thing in my search is that sensor position is very much in the front, I wonder if that could be a big issue with the Saphira.
but I don't think it's necessarily strictly bad for palming, just not as ergonomic

though palm grips can differ a little as well.

isn't the avior7000 about the same size as the Saphira? perhaps a mm or two less wide, but nothing major it seems

disgusting
just bought Naos 7000
Yeah that was probably your best bet. I think the right side offers a lot more room than a lot of other gaming ambi mice, but for a palm grip, I still would recommend the Naos instead.

well, I like the Naos 7000 the most out of every mouse so far
but I'm still not able to hold it as ideally desired
so it will do until I can 3D-print the holy-grail

if I try to aggressively palm the mouse, my pinky and ring finger run off the short rests for them, into the mouse pad.
The back pushes my palm down into the mouse pad so it scrapes.
I'm currently holding it in a weird hybrid of all 3 main grips, and it's the most comfortable I've been with a mouse since I was a fingertip gripper with my Diamondback 3G
