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."

    ... yeeesss, this 'handshake position' seems very familiar somehow.
    Seriously though, might I suggest inventing a self cleaning keyboard/mousepad.

      Trends indeed!

      First they turned the computer case itself on edge. Then the mouse.

      But I'm a tradionalist at heart. I will just lie sideways atop my office desk to restore balance to my universe...
