A vertical mouse is a responsible choice to address incipient overuse complaints, especially in the forearm, wrist and hand. The shape of the mouse places the hand, wrist and forearm in a vertical position. This decreases muscle tension up to the elbow and can prevent incipient complaints from subsiding and worsening.

Why do we recommend a vertical mouse?

With vertical mice, the mouse is gripped in a "hand shake" position. The tilted design puts your arm in a more relaxed position. Especially for RSI complaints in the wrist or elbow, such a mouse is a good choice. This works, especially with intensive mouse use, very comfortably.

Features of vertical mice;

  • Comfortable relaxed wrist

  • Vertical mice work quickly and accurately
  • Short habituation time
  • Forces wrist and forearm into natural position
  • Effective against RSI complaints

Why do I need a vertical mouse?

Long-term mouse use can cause physical complaints. Vertical mice stimulate a natural posture of the hand which can reduce or even prevent complaints. The great advantage of a vertical model lies in the forced neutral position of wrist and forearm. These models have a short familiarisation time and you immediately feel the muscle tension reducing effects on your wrist/underarm.

What complaints does a vertical mouse help with?

We recommend this mouse model primarily for wrist, elbow and forearm complaints. RSI and mouse arm are common afflictions. Due to the vertical position, the forearm and wrist are placed in a neutral position, reducing overuse and muscle tension in your forearm and reducing complaints to your wrist, arm and shoulders. Both curative and preventive.

What type of work is a vertical mouse suitable for?

For intensive mouse use, a vertical mouse is particularly suitable. The shape of this mouse encourages a natural posture, the hand, wrist and forearm adopts a so-called "hand shake position" due to the shape of the mouse. Habituation time is short, most models are very accurate and the mouse buttons programmable to your liking. When choosing a vertical mouse, pay close attention to which size you choose.
