All that can be said is that there is some truth to this claim. It should be noted that when it comes to preventing carpal tunnel disease that there is very little research to show how much these redesigned mice actually reduce your risk. So if you were in the market to purchase a computer mouse and you wanted an ergonomic option, which one would you choose? A Little Disclaimer Manufacturers claim that trackball mice are better for preventing and relieving the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome. Rather than move the mouse itself to move a computer cursor, you only have to spin the ball to get the cursor where you want it to go. One of the most popular designs however, features a small glass-like ball on the mouse. There are even vertical mice that you grab and use much like a drink at a party. Note how the Vertical, “Ergonomic” Mouse has a perfect hand fit, it helps relieves strain and tension.įor computer mice, many of these designs introduce grooves and curves that makes it fit easier in your hand. No matter how ergonomically designed a mouse may be, overuse across years can still cause carpal tunnel syndrome to develop in individuals. These designs are often effective, though caution still has to be used. This problem has become so pervasive in the years since the invention of the computer that many computer mice and keyboards now feature more ergonomic designs that are meant to reduce the probability of developing carpal tunnel syndrome or, if a person is already living with it to reduce the pain experienced. While necessary and fun at times, this can lead to repetitive motion syndrome or RMS (more on this below). Whether it’s for work or play we use a mouse and keyboard daily for hours on end. Many of us spend inordinate amounts of time in front of the computer.

Best to go to your neighborhood computer shop and try them out a little bit before making a decision. That being said, some people hate or love either one. If you already suffer from carpal tunnel and only use the mouse for non-precision tasks, consider a trackball. If you require precision in your use of the mouse (such as gamers and graphic designers), then opt for a vertical/ergonomic mouse. Short Answer: It depends on your application and personal preference. Which is better, Trackball vs Ergonomic/Vertical Mouse?
