Need an Ergo Mouse
- Thread starter turbolapp
- Start date
I like the Logitech trackball mice - I had early symptoms of carpal tunnel and this (and other changes) helped.
I tried the trackball ones but just couldn't get into it. When my hands were hurting I actually bought a keyboard with a mouse pad built in (like a laptop)
DBTech Mini Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard - Great for Gaming - Works with Sony PS3, Wii - features Built-In Touchpad Mouse, Backlit Display and Laser Pointer
I used the tab key and learned a lot of shortcuts so I didn't have to touch the mouse when I didn't have to. That along with fixing table height, chair, etc.. really helped.

I'm using the Microsoft Trackball Optical mouse at the moment. It's quite old (wired), but I'm sure there's some newer versions out there. You use your thumb to move the mouse pointer around. I don't have tendinitis issues any more, but I used switch to this one every now and again. That and switch mousing hands.

The thing that more or less cured it was deep massage (soft tissue release), so it might be worth looking into that.

You could try a tablet like a Wacom and use a pen like stylus to navigate as an alternative to a mouse/rollerball.

Yep, this. I had a wired one for years which finally stopped working well, and I bought a Microsoft mouse keyboard combo. The mouse eventually made my hand hurt, so I went looking and found this:

It's been awesome.
The problem is all of these different solutions are for different problems, carpel tunnel, tendinitis, trigger finger...whatever.
I haven't been able to find an exact name for my problem which is on the top of my hand. Basically if I pick up a bag with my right hand and put it on my right shoulder that that motion of the fisted hand with the weight pulling it down is extremely painful. It also hurts when I'm using the mouse in the claw position. Logically it seems like one of the vertical mice would help but since I don't know what my problem is, I'm not sure of the solution.

My wrist has been gradually getting more and more fucked up the past couple years being on a computer 24/7 I can't even do push ups with my palms flat on the ground anymore I have to do them on my fists
Try this and use whatever mouse you want.

I'm a former sports nutritionist and trainer, about 8 out of every 10 people that I had use this experienced great results. And no I don't sell it.

ha... I'd be hesitant to try any supplements recommended on Wicked Fire after the trip to the hospital thanks to Jack3d
Yes! I have to do the same. Well I don't do push ups, but I do exercise on the swiss ball and part of those require the push up hand position.
So yeah you and I have the same problem.
This, plus a regular mouse, is greater than anything:

These things did it for me.
On the left of the keyboard (I'm a leftie):
and
It's definitely not the best mouse functionally, lags behind the click by just enough to be annoying if you're fast with your mouse. Ergonomically though I like it a lot. Used to use this one
but it's too thin for my wide ass hands. It is more accurate and has two extra mouse buttons though. Miss those.
Keyboard has an integral mouse ball + two mouse buttons so my hands don't leave the keyboard nearly as much. Tab & keyboard shortcuts ftw.
I've been using a computer mouse all day since i was about 10 years old... I'm now 24 and haven't had any wrist problems, only thing I've kept in mind is to maintain a straight wrist, nothing else really matters.
