Big hands big gloves

What are some products that are made/comfortable for people with large hands? Computer specific, but anything else would be cool.

There's already a thread on computer mice and I found this awesome keyboard at a surplus store (typing with parallel arms = booyah). I was distraught when they stopped manufacturing the XBox dukes. Any other game controllers? Laptops? Steering wheels? Large handed mefis unite!

Part of the reason I switched to a trackball (Logitech Cordless Trackman Wheel here at home and the corded variety at work) was that my large hands (ok, just the right one) could rest on it instead of feeling like I was doing frickin' needlepoint with a regular mouse.

And suddenly the ache in my right wrist disappeared. It took me one week of solid use before I was 100% more comfortable with the trackball than I was with the mouse.

Thats why I love my logitech mx 1000 laser mouse. It is quite large and fits in my large mitts.

I loved the original xbox controller, none of those pansy xbox s controllers for me!

Kensington Pilot Mouse has been working well for me. I also started using a wrist rest about a year ago (Imak ErgoBeads) and that's eliminated those random twinges.
