How is a Vertical Mouse Different From a Traditional Mouse
A vertical mouse is a computer mouse designed to be held in a more natural and ergonomic position, with the hand and wrist in a neutral alignment rather than a rotated or tilted position. Traditional mice are typically designed to be held with the hand in a palm-down position, which can lead to strain on the wrist and hand over time. Staff can develop carpal tunnel syndrome, causing pain, tingling and numbness in the arm and fingers.

Advantages of Using a Vertical Mouse
Let’s go through the benefits of using a vertical mouse:
- Avoids wrist and forearm pronation – Rotating your wrist counterclockwise will compress the median nerve leading to carpal tunnel syndrome.
- Keeps your wrist and forearm in a natural resting position– This minimizes the muscle use.
- The Handshake position - lets you manoeuvre your mouse with your forearm instead of your wrist.
