Does this seem "ergonomic" to you?

I have one of those, they're pretty comfy

* one that's identical form AliExpress. It only cost like £6

@RichardoC Oh, alright.. maybe it is comfy, idk
@irene Nope, I never tried it

Vertical mice are better for the wrist, but it does take some getting used to.

@irene "Yeah, that's why you need https://kickstarter.com/projects/... for gaming!" (/s in case the quotes were not enough)

They are more ergonomic in some ways, better than those rollerball things

@karma Trackballs with a vertical palm rest are pretty awesome IMO

@tokumei I've never grown used to them ...

It depends on what you want to use it for...

I wouldn't Trust it ;)

At the medical clinic I go they only use those... Makes me expect they are actually way better for your body

Comfy.
Terrible for gaming.

Are ergonomic mice really a thing? Never have I ever been sitting at my desk thinking "oh boy you know what I'd need now? A mouse that relaxes my wrists!"

...maybe due to the fact that I use a touchpad 80% of the time because I switch my working space quite a lot so even a normal mouse feels like luxury

Everyone in my office swears by these, so I tried one. I gave it a fair trial - one whole month of use.

Findings:
- it's almost impossible to click something precisely, because the "click" motion is horizontal and inevitably causes the cursor to move to the left.
- it caused some pretty nasty pains in my elbow and wrist.

I've never had any RSI, carpal tunnel, etc so maybe this is a good mouse for those who have. But if you're not actively suffering, I wouldn't recommend switching because you could bugger up your arm like I did.

Nope

It. Just. Sucks.

It's explained in this video: https://youtu.be/XaWLLEztrIs

In short: you don't need to twist your bones

@Jilano The marketing for that sleeve is retarded xD, but the concept is actually pretty awesome.

@Aeternum Agreed! I wouldn't mind trying it out, but it's advertised in a way that makes me @bleh

@Jilano 😒

Just a few months ago when i started often spending >12h/day on the computer my right hand felt completely fucked from the trackpad. Switching to a normal mouse wasnt that much better either... Now i use one of these (mx vertical, expensive AF but wireless) and after some getting used to i can work precise and almost without killing my hand... So i guess it really helps

@Bleh 🍪?

@Jilano Need these! Too bad the backing is over. :P

These are very nice! I highly recommend it.

@Jilano 😏
