• Ergonomic Mouse

    From Black Panther@21:1/186 to All on Friday, September 25, 2020 00:03:40
    Hi All,

    I had been looking at these ergonomic mice, or vertical mice, for quite
    awhile. Without knowing anyone who had one, I was a bit leery to get one.

    Well, I broke down and bought one from Amazon, and it arrived on Tuesday.
    After a bit of getting used to it, I'm really liking it. I think my only complaint with it, is the scroll wheel has a bit of a squeak to it, which is distracting.

    With a total investment of $15, I'm very satisfied.

    Here's a link to the one I got. I didn't want to spend a lot of money without know I was going to like it. :)

    Your mouse squeaks? Cute! My keyboard sounds like microwave popcorn. :D

    I've had one for about a year. I like it, however I still find my hand
    gets numb which is what I was trying to prevent. It's been moved to the
    woods for the season on the laptop. I'm back to the old trackball (marble
    mouse by logitech) here.

    I do like it, but my hands are screwed so...

    I know it's a bit ironic... :) If my keyboard sounded like microwave popcorn, I'd be hungry all the time, as I love popcorn. ;)

    I haven't really had much issue with sore or numb hands. Most of my time is spent on the keyboard. I just figured it would be more comfortable. :)

    Those always looked like they just flipped the mouse upside-down, and gave it
    a bigger ball. (that really didn't sound good...) I found that I was moving
    my hands more with one of those than a regular mouse.

    Kind of yeah, but when you have no feeling in the hands it's easier to
    get the giant marble to go where you want sometimes.
