Are Vertical Mice The Next Ergonomic Trend?

Posted by Zonk on from the call-me-when-it's-good-for-fps-games dept.

ThinSkin writes "Devoid of kookiness like many of its ergonomic counterparts, the VerticalMouse 2 is shaped like an ordinary mouse, only turned 90 degrees so that your arm is in a natural 'handshake position.' ExtremeTech's review of the VerticalMouse 2 suggests that its horsepower and familiar feel make it a worthy candidate to replace a horizontal mouse. Some of the drawbacks include its $75 price tag and difficulty to pick up in 3D gaming scenarios."

    Is your mousepad coated in broken glass? Mine isn't, so if I bought this mouse, I could always just rest the side of my hand on the mousing surface of choice.
