Anker 2.4G Wireless Vertical Ergonomic Optical Mouse, 800 / 1200 /1600 DPI, 5 Buttons for Laptop, Desktop, PC, Macbook - Black

Vertical mouse. $20. Saved my wrist using it at work all day.

It looks odd but it feels so much more natural. I even got a bunch of people at my office to buy one after they tried mine.

Edit: Here’s the link to the one I have for those interested.

In addition to what others are saying a few things I've done to help my wrist pain

• Move main skill off of right mouse button

• Changed to a more strict lootfilter so I am not picking up as much of the cheaper currencies. I usually only do this later in the league when I've accumulated a decent amount of currency. This obviously isn't much good for SSF players.

• If you can getting an ergonomic mouse could help a lot if you can get used to them. I have a cheap one and it is just okay. It's pretty light which I find hard to game with but when my wrist pain is really bad it basically becomes non-existent when I use it. https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Wireless-Vertical-Ergonomic-Optical/dp/B00BIFNTMC

• The biggest thing is stretching. I have started doing quick wrist stretches whenever I'm loading into my hideout after a map or waiting for a boss to spawn/phase and doing longer sessions (5 minutes or so) every hour and it has probably helped more than anything. Just get into a habit

Yes, a lot of programming— which of course doesn’t use a mouse a tremendous amount but it still helps a lot in making an overall more ergonomic setup. Every little bit counts.

Just grabbed this Anker Vertical Mouse from Amazon ($20) to see if I’d even like it and it’s been doing just fine!

I had trouble with something similar at work. I use this Anker mouse which is angled and I have had no problems since then. It takes a bit of getting used to, but I highly recommend trying it and it’s less than 20 bucks on Amazon.

Ok, so everyone is talking about pen and tablet, and that’s great if it works for you. It did not work for me. At all. Two months of using a pen and tablet and I just found a new way to be lazy with my wrist. Plus, I never personally like navigating with a wacom. Maybe I spent too many years of using a mouse, I just couldn’t be as efficient.

I swear by the Anker vertical mouse. It’s more expensive than it used to be, but it’s still far less than a wacom and it might work for you. I’ve used it for five years and I’ve had very few flair-ups.

It's been great for my wrist comfort and the extra features are nice. You can switch between 3 devices with a button and there are 3 other custom buttons you can set to do various commands that are naturally in reach of your thumb to click - I use these a lot for work (mine are set to Copy, Paste, and Previous Page).

I wouldn't use this mouse if you're looking for a faster mouse (gaming). I'd say I'm probably a little faster on a normal mouse, but not very noticeable for me, as I don't use this one for gaming.

If you don't care for the bells and whistles, I have a lot of coworkers who use the Anker 2.4G. A lot cheaper, but still a great vertical mouse - perfect if you want to try it out. It's not Bluetooth, but I've bought it for a couple family members who tried out my mouse and converted to the vertical mouse life.

If ergonomics is your focus, I would consider getting a "vertical mouse". It's less strain on your wrist. Anker makes a pretty good one that's affordable:

Truth be told, I don't know how good it actually is for gaming. But with a $200 budget, you can easily afford this $25 mouse, and a separate gaming mouse.

I developed a lot of wrist pain, to the point I had problems working. I switched over to this vertical mouse and it's been a complete game changer. I highly recommend it:

I bought this vertical mouse and it's helped: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BIFNTMC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I personally love the Anker ergonomic mouse. Battery lasts a long time. And it's under 30 bucks. It's unconventional but has no strain on your wrist. The wired is under 20 bucks. https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Wireless-Vertical-Ergonomic-Optical/dp/B00BIFNTMC

MSFT Sculpt helped me. I use an Anker mouse here. Had nerve entrapment from shoulder to elbow though so idk if YMMV. Definitely don't forget about the mouse.

A keyboard tray and making sure your chair height is right also helps. Also, don't rest your elbows on your chair.

I used one of these at an office job once, it’s weird at first but actually quite nice to have your wrist in the proper position when using the mouse:

Not that one particularly just one like it.

Have you tried using a vertical mouse? I have this Anker model, and so far it has worked wonders for me.

I haven’t used a wacom but my experience with an anker brand ergonomic mouse has been positive.

Here’s the link

Have you considered a vertical mouse? Like the Logitech MX Vertical (more a productivity mouse) Or cheaper options like the Anker Vertical Mouse.

They are sub-par for gaming, but not that bad considering you can use them with your wrist in vertical position and not facing down.

Like this one for example - https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Wireless-Vertical-Ergonomic-Optical/dp/B00BIFNTMC

I use this one: https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Wireless-Vertical-Ergonomic-Optical/dp/B00BIFNTMC/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=ergonomic+mouse&qid=1601643628&sr=8-3

It might not be ideal for fast-paced shooter games, but I don't really play those anymore anyway vs. day-to-day usaeg.

I use the Microsoft ergonomic keyboard and the Anker vertical mouse

If it goes in my body or if I touch it every day, quality. However you have to strike a good balance for these kinds of things especially if it is out of your own pocket. I use this keyboard and mouse

those splints definitely hurt you if you're trying to type or use a computer with them on. Sleeping with one on though - was like waking up with no pain. Till' I started working on the computer.. then the pain came back (I took that as a sign I need to fix my posture more.)

I've been using these mice - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BIFNTMC

Just make sure your forearm is straight and aligned with your palm and fingers.

Thanks! I ordered the Keychron K4 and an Anker ergonomic mouse. They are supposed to arrive tomorrow. Looking for all black keys to go on the K4.

kb & mouse

This mouse was a game changer. The change in wrist angle made all the difference for me. Good luck!

I use this $20 vertical mouse, no more wrist/hand pain!

Hello! Dropping in from /r/MechanicalKeyboards here :)

I don't know of any mech keebs that would be easy to carry around, but in terms of ergonomics I can personally recommend the Bluetooth Microsoft Sculpt keyboard (link). I'm a software developer by trade and can easily spend 6+ hours typing on this without problem. It's a great keyboard.

In terms of mice, I've tried out vertical shark-fin style mice like this and found it was pretty comfortable. It's weird, I know, but your natural forearm position is more like "thumb up" than it is "thumb-to-the-side". Using it for long durations feels great. It's also pretty light.

In terms of more classically-ergonomic mice, Logitech's MX Master series is excellent. I've only ever used the original, but they do have a MX Master 3. It's definitely heavier than the above mouse, but that's by design.

I use an Evoluent vertical mouse for work ( https://evoluent.com/ ) and I bought myself an Anker wireless vertical mouse much cheaper for home use. https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Wireless-Vertical-Ergonomic-Optical/dp/B00BIFNTMC/ I love them both. My husband isn't a fan at all of the Anker, fwiw, but I have small hands and he has bigger ones. I also agree that a gel wrist rest on the mouse pad makes a huge difference.

There was a similar thread, with many people's recommendations, a couple months back:

What computer peripherals does everyone use to make things better?

Some more thoughts:

I've got big hands. (Remember the original giant-size Xbox controller? It was actually perfect for my hands.) So it bugs me that mice just keep getting smaller and smaller -- having to hold things that are too small for my hands (such as a skinny pencil or a small mouse) gets uncomfortable, and most mice are now dainty little things. So my favorite mouse was the first version of Microsoft's Intellimouse Explorer because it was oversize (apparently there was a period where Microsoft thought everyone had big hands.) They haven't made it in many years, so I've been stockpiling spares that I buy used on eBay. (Microsoft has issued new versions of that mouse, but I prefer the 1990s model.)

I've been wondering if I should try the Anker Vertical Ergonomic Mouse, or maybe the expensive Hippus Horseshoe Mouse I mentioned in the other thread, since I don't want to stay dependent on Microsoft mice they haven't made in 20 years.

As for keyboards, I think something important that's often overlooked is the positioning of your keyboard -- raising or lowering the keyboard a couple inches can make a huge difference in the amount of stress on your elbows, wrists, and hands (same goes for the screen, which can stress your neck if it's too high or low.) It's often recommended to lower the keyboard to elbow height so you don't have to bend your wrists as much. If you don't have a computer desk with one of those adjustable trays that lets you lower the keyboard, I recommend trying one to see if it makes your setup more comfortable. (Raising the height of your chair can also help.) If you're looking for a desk with a keyboard tray, make sure the tray is big enough that you can also have the mouse at the same height as the keyboard.

Understanding you want to try some out, but a coworker absolutely loves this: https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Wireless-Vertical-Ergonomic-Optical/dp/B00BIFNTMC
