Size Guide & Fit
keyboard layouts · mouse fit by hand & grip · 30‑day returns & exchanges
Three questions settle most setups: how much keyboard you need, how a mouse fits your hand, and how much room your aim needs. The charts below are general guidance to narrow it down — every product's exact dimensions are listed under its Specifications.
How our gear fits
Size guide — Keyboard layouts
| Layout | Keys (approx.) | Keeps | Drops |
|---|---|---|---|
| 60% | ~61 | Letters, number row, modifiers | Function row, arrow keys, nav cluster and numpad (reached on an Fn layer) |
| 65% | ~66–68 | Everything in 60% plus dedicated arrow keys and a few nav keys (Del, PgUp, PgDn) | Function row and numpad |
| 75% | ~82–84 | Everything in 65% plus a compact function row | Numpad; the nav keys squeeze into a single column |
| TKL (80%) | ~87–88 | Full function row, arrow keys and the full nav cluster | Numpad only |
| Full-size | ~104–108 | Everything, including the numpad | Nothing — but it's the widest board on the desk |
- Count what you actually press — if you never touch the numpad or F-keys, a smaller board frees up room for your mouse.
- Low sensitivity? A 60–75% board leaves more desk for wide arm swipes.
- Need F-keys for work or macros? Start at 75% or TKL.
Key counts are typical ANSI figures and vary slightly by board — each product's Specifications list its exact layout.
Size guide — Mouse fit
| Hand size | Hand length | Hand width | Usually suits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small | Under 17 cm (6.7 in) | Under 8.5 cm (3.3 in) | Small or mini shells; fingertip and claw grips |
| Medium | 17–19 cm (6.7–7.5 in) | 8.5–9.5 cm (3.3–3.7 in) | Most standard-size mice; any grip |
| Large | Over 19 cm (7.5 in) | Over 9.5 cm (3.7 in) | Longer, taller shells; palm and relaxed claw grips |
- Hand length — lay your hand flat and measure from the crease of your wrist to the tip of your middle finger.
- Hand width — measure straight across your palm at the knuckles, not including the thumb.
- Palm grip (whole hand on the shell) usually wants a mouse at or a little above your size band; claw and fingertip grips can go a size smaller.
General guidance, not a rule — grip style and personal preference matter as much as hand size. Compare a mouse's listed dimensions with one you already like.
Grip styles
| Grip | How you hold it | Usually suits |
|---|---|---|
| Palm | Your whole hand rests on the mouse; the palm carries the movement. | Longer shells with a rounded back hump — relaxed, steady tracking. |
| Claw | Palm touches the rear, fingers arched over the buttons. | Medium shells with a pronounced rear hump — fast clicks with control. |
| Fingertip | Only your fingertips touch the mouse; the palm floats. | Short, light shells — quick micro-adjustments. |
Not sure which you use? Watch your hand during a match — wherever your palm ends up most of the time is your grip.
Size guide — Mousepads
| Size | Typical dimensions | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| M | ≈ 360 × 300 mm (14.2 × 11.8 in) | Compact desks, higher sensitivity, wrist aiming |
| L | ≈ 450 × 400 mm (17.7 × 15.7 in) | Most setups — room for arm aiming at mid sensitivity |
| XL (desk mat) | ≈ 900 × 400 mm (35.4 × 15.7 in) | Keyboard and mouse on one surface; low-sensitivity arm aiming |
- Measure your free desk space where the mouse lives — width and depth.
- Low sensitivity or arm aiming? Go bigger: a full swipe should never run off the edge mid-fight.
- Want the keyboard on the pad too? An XL desk mat covers both.
Typical sizes for each class — every pad's exact dimensions are listed under its Specifications.
Fit & compatibility — Accessories
| Item | Check before you buy |
|---|---|
| Keycaps | The set covers your layout — bottom-row and right-Shift sizes vary between boards. |
| Switches | Hot-swap boards take switches that match their socket; magnetic (hall-effect) boards need compatible magnetic switches. |
| Skates | Skates are cut for specific mouse shells — the listing names the models they fit. |
| Cables | Match the connector on your keyboard or mouse (most current gear uses USB-C). |
Accessories are one size — compatibility is what matters. The details are listed under each product's Specifications.
How to measure your hand
All you need is a ruler or a soft measuring tape. Lay your hand flat on the desk, fingers together, and measure your mouse hand.
- Length. From the crease where your palm meets your wrist to the tip of your middle finger.
- Width. Straight across your palm at the knuckles, not including the thumb.
- Grip. Watch your hand during a match: whole hand resting on the mouse is palm, palm on the rear with fingers arched is claw, only fingertips touching is fingertip.
- Compare, don't guess. If a mouse you already own fits well, its length, width and height are the best reference you have — line them up against the dimensions on our product pages.
Between two sizes?
Mice: palm grip — go with the larger shell; claw or fingertip — the smaller one is usually easier to control.
Keyboards: if you sometimes use F-keys, a 75% keeps them in a compact footprint; if you never do, a 65% gives your mouse more room.
Mousepads: go bigger. Extra room never hurts your aim — running out of it mid-swipe does.
