if you sweep your thumb on the mouse to scroll pages, you likely are using what type of mouse?

As a result you have to hover your fingers over the surface instead of resting the hand. In order to allow for gestures the whole top of the mouse is interactive and the smallest touch sets it off.

The basic problem of the mouse is the touch surface. When I got a magic mouse I really tried to get used to it, because it looks so pretty, but RSI forced me to go back to logitech. I had some discomfort for a few years, and then nothing for the past decade. It feels much more natural for the fingers to be lower or equal to the wrist and palm.Īnyway, just my experience. Lastly, I dislike keyboards and laptops that raise the backside because they raise my finger tips and put pressure on my wrist. If I add any type of wrist rest, then the weight all goes to the wrist instead of being distributed. This way my elbow (on the armrest), forearm, palm, and finger tips are all in a straight line. Then, I just move my finger tips to flick the mouse 1cm in any direction for getting to different sides of the screen.įor keyboards it's similar. My arm runs flat across the arm rest and the desk, and my palm sits on the flat mouse pad. I adjust the height of my chair so my arm is at a 90 degree angle. I line up the armrest of my chair with the top of the desk so they're a level surface. I also tried the mouse pads you mentioned, and they caused the most issues as they put pressure directly on my wrist. For another point of comparison, what works for me is what the OP said is the worst, just moving the mouse with my finger tips.
