Your wrist will thank you
Logitech
Mouse ergonomics are terrible.
Finger twitches, awkward angles, and almost no hand support make mice a wrist-twisting nightmare.
If you have wrist pain, the first step is to stop whatever you are doing.

And one way to do that, if you insist on using a mouse, is to go vertical.
Vertical mice let you operate in a more natural handshake orientation rather than the pronated posture were used to.
AndLogitechs new Liftmakes this easier and cheaper than ever.

Pronation is considered to be an awkward posture and can be quite problematic for a lot of people.
Just try it right now.
Lay your hand palm down on the desk next to your box or keyboard.
Logitech.
Notice the strain along the outer edge of your forearm.
And then notice how your elbow, shoulder, and chest feel right now.
Now, twist your hand, so its vertical, thumb facing up.
Much better, right?
A vertical mouse lets you keep your hand in this position.
Its just a mouse on its side.
The buttons still fall under your fingers, and the thumb buttons are easier to reach.
It is also slightly smaller but holds your hand at the same 57-degree angle.
Other Options
Maybe a mouse isnt for you.
If so, there are other options.
One is to just switch hands.
This is also a great option for trackpad users.
It will seem impossibly awkward at first, but you will get used to it.
I did exactly this years ago when I first got wrist pain.
Yes, a trackball.
It is also really comfy because you’re able to drape your hand over its massive padded body.
And dont forget pens.
Wacom and other manufacturers make styluses for use with computers.
Designers and artists use them, but they’re good for regular humans too.
But whatever you do, if your wrist hurts, doanything elseimmediately.
