The article emphasizes the detrimental health effects of prolonged sitting at a desk and suggests using ergonomic mice as a solution. It discusses the importance of choosing the right mouse design based on individual needs and workstation setup. Ergonomic mice come in three main shapes—vertical, semi-vertical, and trackball—each catering to different issues like wrist strain and forearm twisting. The author shares insights from testing various models, highlighting their effectiveness in alleviating chronic shoulder tension and improving overall comfort during extended computing sessions.
Sitting for hours on end appears to be the biggest detriment to our health, which is why getting up regularly or switching things up with a standing desk can help.
When we're talking about ergonomic mice for productivity purposes, it usually refers to mice that look distinctly different from the standard, typically with shapes that tilt your hand towards a more 'handshake' position.
Each of three ergonomic mice shapes can help address different concerns. If you're trying to avoid twisting your forearm, a vertical mouse could be what you need.
I tried out around 20 highly rated vertical, semi-vertical and trackball mice to see which ones felt good, worked well and most importantly, did anything to alleviate my chronic shoulder tension.
