I wear a large glove and "I feel your pain". The configuration I've been 
using for a few years is to have the mouse on a book (for comfort, I 
also put a washcloth under my wrist) . Having to "reach" for it makes 
the mouse seem a big bigger.  I was willing to pay $100 for the right 
mouse, but didn't find one.  The cost of this solution is *nada*.  Good 
luck!
