Without thinking about it, stand up and lift your right forearm so that it's at a 90 degree angle to your body. Your thumb is mostly up and your fingers are nearly in a vertical plane. These vertical mice come closer to approximating that position than normal mice or trackballs (where you have to rotate your wrist to be horizontal). Does it actually make a difference? Dunno. But at least it's exercising different muscles and maybe that helps. Cheers, Scott.

Anybody in my pain situation will look at this ad and think that it's wonderful. When I use a trackball I use my thumb to press the button for dragging things. So this mouse would allow me to do that. Not like I want this mouse. I'm happy with my trackball. But for people that have my pain situation and have not come across a decent track ball, they would like this. Edited by crazy Dec. 11, 2021, 02:29:51 AM EST Expand All History

I think most peope are symmetrical. :-) -- Christian R. Conrad The Man Who Apparently Still Knows Fucking Everything Mail: Same username as at the top left of this post, at iki.fi

My fine motor control is on my left side so I write as a left-handed person. But my strength and distance accuracy is on my right side so I play baseball right handed. I can't use a mouse or trackball left handed though.
