I have small hands and I'm used to three rows of buttons (nostromo). Are 4 rows doable for most people?

You can adjust the palm rest's tilt and how far the wrist rest moves out on this to suit your hand size.

Completely. If you are able to reach the number buttons on a normal keyboard, you can reach the top row of the orbweaver. Plus the palm rest and actually everything is fully cusomizable. If you have everything on the minimum size it feels like a normal nostromos. Though the texture on the palm rest will feel different and will take a day or two to get used to. The main issue to look at is the D-pad/spacebar. They are the most drastic change and most people see it as a real big upgrade or a horrible downgrade with no inbetween. So i suggest trying it and returning if not up to your standards. But it is a good device and mech keys feel really responsive. Completely.

I have somewhat smaller hands and I can barely reach the third row. So I am currently just using the bottom 2.

I have average sized hands, so my advice might not be very helpful. But I have adjusted the palm rest to be comfortable using the lower three rows of keys, quickly sliding my lower palm onto the top of the palm rest to use the fourth. Therefore, I only ever assign keys I hardly use.

It takes a bit of getting used to but once ya do it works well. It's like the Razer Naga, it takes awhile to get ur hands used to the buttons but once ya do you won't go back to a normal mouse. I really like my Orbweaver, it took me about a week or so to really get used to it and now I couldn't game without it.

I have XL sized hands but don't have thick fingers, so I used my thumb and it is was easy! I hope this helps you Chris!

I don't think so - the button is convenient and at the top so even with small hands I think it is easy to use

I found it fairly easy to press all of the buttons. Of course, there really isn't many cases that you can press all of the buttons easily.

Theoretically yes. You would need to use the num-pad keys in combination with the windows accessibility options that allow you to move the mouse from the keyboard. However the glove it self can only accept one touch input at a time, you can't push multiple keys with it.

the real drawback is accidentally pressing any thumb key when you use your thumb at all to help move the mouseotherwise they did a better job with the buttons than Razer did with their first generation of this sort of mouseits pretty easy to feel which key is which with your thumb and to accurately press just that... with some training of course.and it is unlikely you will intend to press one key and get 2 or 3 or 4 instead

I found the legs on the Dolica deploy more quickly than latch systems I've used previously. All knobs can be loosened at the same time (or fewer as desired). I don't have the biggest hands either, but I found them easy to turn. How well these hold up over time compared to latches remains to be seen. Hope this helps.

You can easily do three and a half. I would say you could even go as small as one inch. It is pretty amazing.

I have average male hands and yes I can put 4 fingers through the handle. However, it is more comfortable for me to use three. The handle protrudes out fairly far and is rounded. This makes it a little strange.

We'll I have rather small hands and feel that accessing the buttons (all of them) would be easier with larger hands. That being said, I'd say the mouse is larger in size than my Naga Razr which felt just about right in my little hand.

This has an extra row so with smaller hands I'd imagine it would be harder to reach the extra row. It would probably be slightly better to hold in the WASD position due to the adjustable palm rest and the slider all the way closed if she doesn't care to use the extra row.

I have a Sesationail LED lamp and I ca do one hand at a time. I usually do 4 fingers on one hand with my thumb from the opposite hand - this seems to fit better and avoid smudges! I do love it!

You CAN fit the thumb in, but I wouldn't recommend it. 4 fingers for in well, and cute well, so the best way I've found is to do 4 on one hand, 4 on the other, then the thumbs together. It's likely that if you try and do all 5 fingers at once, you might end up with an uneven cure,and less sturdy nails.

90% of my use involves just my thumb on the left button and the tip of my middle finger manipulating the marble. The heel of my hand rests on the tabletop. This ought to be fine for any size hand.

Not knowing how small your hands are, it's hard to say whether or not you could manage the reach on a standard tenor. My wife cannot, so we got a bent (knick) tenor with two more keys than the double key for C and C# for her. She has no trouble with this, but likes to use it with a neck strap. The instrument is a YRT-304B modified by Lazar Early Music. The neck strap arrangement is a jury-rig involving the use of a stout rubber band and a bass recorder strap. Hope this helps.

I've never used the Nostromo, but I can tell you that the D-Pad is very sensitive in my opinion. It has a good solid click to it, and each of the 8 positions can be mapped to whichever keys you like. The only problem I've had is that the 4 diagonal positions are very hard to achieve without first actuating one of the "polar" positions. In other words, say you wanted position 2 which would be between W and D in your case. I've found it's nigh impossible to actuate position 2 without actuating either W or D first on accident.But if you are primarily using it for the polar values, it works pretty well.

There ought to be no issues there, even the farthest buttons are elongated in order to accommodate smaller hands. The click area on the two main buttons extend all the way up to like halfway up the front of the mouse as well so there should be no problem there. The only thing to get used to is the fact that the nose of the mouse is elevated a little under an inch as you can see in the pictures.
