Reddit mentions of J-Tech Digital Scroll Endurance Wired Mouse Ergonomic Vertical USB Mouse with Adjustable Sensitivity (600/1000/1600 DPI), Removable Palm Rest & Thumb Buttons - Reduces Hand/Wrist Pain (Wired)

I'm not a doctor or ergonomics specialist, so I can't give advice.

Search Google for ergonomic workstation guides.

There's interesting information here http://xahlee.info/kbd/ergonomic_keyboards_index.html

Things that may or may not help. Google for more details:

• Vertical mouse
  
• Monitor(s) at the proper height for your eyes so your head/neck stay straight
  
• Tenting, splaying, negative tilt keyboards
  
• Taking breaks
  
• Various kinds of gentle stretching
  
• Low-impact / soft touch keyboard/switches
  
  

To extend a bit on this: There are basically three types of ergonomic/vertical mouses:

1. The slightly curved one. Cheap, still suited for gaming with a bit of practice. Example. There are a million clones on the market.
   

• The vertical mouse that is not yet a stick. Cheap now, not really suited for gaming anymore. Example. There are some clones of this, or rather, the example I link to is already a clone. The original was very expensive and seems to have vanished.
  
• Mouses that are basically a joystick. I never used that, and I would expect them to be garbage for gaming, but the hand looks to be in the most natural position. Example. Have seen no cheap version of those yet.
  
  There are some more, like this more vertical version of the first or strange finger clickers like this or better this (never tried that, actually looks interesting). Ah, and there are of course bigger trackballs, which some people prefer.
  
  It is my understanding that if you already have a carpal tunnel syndrome, a new mouse won't help. The only thing one can do is remove all stress from the hand till the pain is gone. That can take a long time. There are some braces/splints that are used to support this. After that healing period one can start using a PC again, and that's the moment to start with a vertical mouse. There is an operation that helps, necessary(?) in later stages of the syndrome.
  
  The other option is better: The moment you start to feel a bit of pain in your mouse hand after long PC sessions, try a different mouse - and if possible, use the PC a bit less, at least for a while. With a bit of luck this will prevent the syndrome from developing.
  
  Source: Some years ago I started to have pain in my mouse hand after work and read up what I could. I'm using the first mouse at home and the second one at work. Pain went away, I also took a few days off back then. But take what I say with a grain of salt, I'm not a medical professional.

If you're interested, this is the one I bought: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00TJ4ZD28/

It's like magic. I was getting random jolts of pain inside my wrist and random times, like just using a mouse normally then suddenly it would feel like someone stabbed me with a pin inside my wrist. I haven't had that problem in over a year now.

Nice, I'm glad I was able to get your advice. However I have some <20$ pc mice in mind, could you rate them 1-5?

I would use it for gaming so maybe that becomes a problem for some of these? If you have another suggestion that fits the same budget, feel free to put the link. My category would be <25$, wired optical mouse, preferably for gaming. Thank you very much!

Definitely like a triangle. Imagine using a vertical mouse, the hand is almost like a straight line up.

Vertical mouses are not too expensive, this one is my favorite (only $20). I would start with the mouse maybe.

To avoid RSI, you want to avoid much hand movement and keep the hand on the home row keys as much as possible (asdfjkl;), evil mode is very good for this as your hand won't be moving left and right, you'll also want to avoid using your pinky to hit CTRL or moving your hand to hit ESC. This is how hit CTRL

Buy one of these: https://www.amazon.com/J-Tech-Digital-Endurance-Adjustable-Sensitivity/dp/B00TJ4ZD28

I will never go back to a traditional mouse. I even use it for FPS gaming. I do however highly recommend opening it up and removing the internal weights; It handles so much better once it is lighter. Some of the screws are located underneath the skates fyi.

Best thing though? My carpal tunnel syndrome went away. Soooo much pain and numbness that just...isn't there anymore. Ergonomics is incredibly important.

Just ordered this one.

I appreciate your help/advice.

Hey everyone! What are some good, reasonably priced ergonomic mice?

I found two mice but cannot decide which is better.
