It’s really sad that we don’t even fucking know what effects the thing we are spending so much time doing have on our body. A lot of ergonomic things are branding and marketing, it’s pretty hard to know what is better than what, I’m imagining phones are even worse and there’s probably less information about it.
Fair, and there’s more than just cts. And discomfort can come from many different things. Those mice really never felt comfortable to me, though, so I’d recommend trying one out instead of just buying, maybe it’s hard to get used to.
Honestly I didn’t really find much on the side of vertical mouse either so we kinda just don’t know. Only place that isn’t a brand (it’s hard to know what isn’t just marketing) was saying that it’s a matter of preference, but also I didn’t search too much (don’t really have the time). Would be good to see a longer study too, had not noticed the sample size, actually ridiculous.
Unfortunately the vertical mouse does not help with carpal tunnel. But a wrist rest or gel mousepad can help. If you need a source, I found this article about it. It says these mice change wrist position but they do not help relieve pressure on the wrist, so it does not matter.
That’s basically what it is, though
