I’m hoping this is an ok place to ask a question like this.
I recently had to get a new mouse because my old one broke. I couldn’t get exactly what I had before but I got something fairly similar. However, I’ve been struggling to tune it to feel good to use. It’s actually been putting a lot of strain on my arm even after short play sessions.
Does anyone know what might be causing this and how to fix it? What kind of things should I do to find the appropriate sensitivity/settings or maybe I’m holding my arm differently for some reason or maybe I need a different kind of mouse?
If it matters, here’s the old and new mice:
Step 1 throw out the mouse
Step 2 install vim and i3w
Step 1 throw out the mouse Step 2 install vim i3w
I use a vertical mouse, the wired version of this one. It helps a lot. I also have an ergonomic keyboard. The more natural positioning of my wrists really helps with the pain.
Don’t ignore things like chair and desk height. Using the mouse your arm and shoulder wants to be relaxed. Not having to be supported by your muscles because you’re lifting your arm.
Are you using a squishy wrist rest? Those make all the difference.
