if you have big hands and you're using a small-ish mouse a lot and your hands/wrist hurts, i really recommend getting a bigger mouse. it has seriously made a big difference for me
I just purhcased a (large) vertical mouse and it has immediately Changed Everything and I can never go back. Wrist pain ABOLISHED.
i tried one of those vertical mice for a day and caused me agonizing pain. but a normal mouse is fine. i guess my tendons are truly deep fried
Hey, ergonomics are all about what's most comfortable for you! Maybe your Bones are built Weird lol
i wish someone would make a vertical mouse with Added Gamer Buttons
my G502 has 2 extra buttons on the side of left mouse button (i mapped em to [ and ]) and a big thumb button under back/forward (mapped to G)
these come in handy with games SO much and help pain in my left hand a lot (no need to reach left hand across the keyboard or let go of WASD). for example [ and ] mapped to hotkeys for using abilities or melee attack, mapping G to throwing a grenade, etc.
i just need a vertical mouse with like 3-4 extra buttons that can be mapped to keyboard keys, nothing fancy, and i'd be set forever
I just bought the MX Vertical, it's pricey ($85) but it has exactly what you're describing. Left click, right click, middle click, and then a button on the top and two buttons on the thumbrest area. By default they're mapped to back-forward and the top button is defaulted to, like, changing between two mouse sensitivity presets? But in LG's software you can not only change those mappings systemwide, you can change them on a per-app basis which is really nifty, though I personally just leave them on back-forward for web browsing and have the middle button mapped to Snip & Sketch so I don't have to remember the dumb shortcut to take a screenshot anymore haha.
yeah, i've seen it before and that doesn't sound like what i'm describing sadly :(
left/right/middle + back/forward (buttons 4 and 5) on the thumb are standard mouse buttons, so only that "top" button would be an extra one
the g502 has three extra non-standard buttons on top of the standard 5 buttons, and i use all three commonly in games
