Recommend a mouse to avoid RSI / CP (flat mouse?)

Rikki · 7 Aug 2012 at 10:32

Hey folks,

Starting to get problems with my mouse hand (no s******ing at the back!) and before I get problems I want to try and head off any issues.

Ive swapped to a wireless Logitech thing which has helped a bit as its flatter but its not the best so what would people recommend?

My previous mouse was a G500 which is great but with its bulky shape I think my "claw" posture wasnt doing me any favours.

Thanks

Rikki

BTW that was s-n-i-g-g-e-r-i-n-g I wrote before a mod bans me!

personally, I bought a RAT 7 MMO a few weeks back and with all the accessories that come with it id be really surprised if you cant find a way of tweaking it to fit your hand and style

Thanks

You could also look at ergonomic mouse pads, I don't get on with them personally though.

How did you get on with it?

What about a better desk, and have your forearm flat on it - so the weight of the arm is on that and not your wrist. That's how I roll and find it most comfortable.

Got the white RAT 7 and its duff

I wrote a thread about it, its going back

Looking at Amazon.com reviews there are hundreds of 1 and 2 star reviews saying how crap they are

I borrowed a family members RAT 7 i wasn't to impressed with it, went straight back to my Razor chaos.
Still on the look out for a good wireless mouse that don't cost an arm and a leg.

look for a vertical mouse, they stop you needing to twist your wrist to use the mouse.
