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."

    Without a support for your hand, you'll have to support the weight of your hand by ... the use of your arm muscles, leading quickly to fatigue and muscle strain

    If you get muscle strain just by moving a mouse, perhaps you should consider leaving your apartment/mom's basement more often.
