Mouse question

TheBazman

Hi all

I use my pc and mouse a lot at work and have noticed that recently my mouse hand is getting quite strained. Its just a standard mouse. Are there any more comfortable (if that makes sense!) makes of mouse out there (non wireless)?

Cheers

You could get one of these for less than €15 euro.

Makes a huge difference for me. Have one for the
Keyboard too.

Cheers - i might look into it, although since I switched from a roller to an infa red sensor I have tended not to use a mouse mat

I have a laser mouse too but i have found that using it on a mouse mat
is much more precise than using it on a table, wood or any other hard shiny surface.

depends on the size of your mouse aswel.

small mice cause you to have to bend your fingers a lot more.
bigger mice are a LOT more comfortable when using it a lot.

Cheers - makes sense I suppose - might look out for both a larger mouse and a decent supported mouse mat

Been meaning to get one of these:

Heard they are great as you are not stopping blood flow through your palm.
My clicking finger gets hella painfull these days though

Agree that wrist pads are great.

There are many right-hand specific mice (mouses?) that you may find more comfortable - such as the Logitech MX Revolution and the G5.

Have your works provide you with a ergonomics test. They are legally oblijed to do this for you if you ask free of cost to you. But it will cost them a bomb.
