Choosing the right mouse is a nearly impossible mission!
The choice is wide, and differentiating marketing vs true ergonomics is tough.
Let's have a look at what really matters when deciding which mouse to buy, based on comparing the Logitech Lift, Logitech MX Vertical, Logitech MX Ergo and a normal mouse:
00:00 intro
01:17 normal mouse or vertical mouse?
effect on neck pain and shoulder pain
02:08 user acceptance
02:42 wrist rest and vertical mouse
why you should NOT use a wrist rest with a vertical moue
03:06 wired vs wireless
04:32 trackball vs mouse
05:33 Lift vs MX Vertical
careful with your carpal tunnel!
06:57 conclusion
----
Pain in the back, shoulder, arms or any other musculoskeletal pain should not govern your life.
A lot of the pain you feel is caused or aggravated by wrong posture, poor ergonomics and a lack of specific exercises for your muscles and joints. Giving you the tools to resolve these issues is the reason why I created this self care channel.

"... and a traditional stupide normal mouse" LOL

That’s what happens when you never prepare what you’re gonna say 🤣

Great video l! I’ve been unwittingly causing rotator cuff issues due to using the wrong mouse for the last 12 months. I thought it was something I was doing at the gym - but lo and behold when I realised I was putting my shoulder into an awful hunched position using a so called ergonomic mouse, the penny dropped. Just bought a vertical mouse instead and looking forward to getting my shoulder back to health again! Keep up your great videos.

Good video! I initially got the Lift and it was indeed very small and I had to drag my little finger across the surface which was annoying. The vertical, older, but perfect, I can use it with my pinky holding the mouse.

Great video as always and good advice. I have been struggling with neck-/shoulder and occasional hand pain for a while and I do prefer a vertical mouse, too. But I have noticed that switching devices can be good as well (one day mouse, one day trackball, one day trackpad) and even using the left hand every now and then. Apple's Magic Trackpad is good for it. The only downside: I don't have a good angle.

Hi Olivier, thanks for the video, but do you have a budget friendly recommendation?

I've been using the MX Master for 2 years and I love it!

A potential issue to consider with vertical mice is that your left click index finger often has to be held up radially to be positioned correctly. So you can end up holding tension to keep your finger above the scroll wheel on the left click. This probably depends on your hand size. Also, clicking requires a resistant squeeze from your thumb to keep the mouse stable, so if you have thumb problems, a vertical mouse could aggravate that repetitively.

My poor man approach. Get a 5$ small ambidexterous Mouse, i.e. oklick 245m or Lenovo 400. Put it on a surface with your left Hand and then free it without Lifting your palm. Rotate your left palm counter clockweise until it will stuble about surface and then Grab the Mouse again but only with Tips of your Fingers. Adjust Mouse Speed and acceleration in OS to move cursor confortably Just with Fingers. Enjoy.

Hello Olivier, Just a quick video suggestion that could talk about overweight/obese people and specifically if lumbar support is harder to get right or not for them! Love your content, best regards!

@OlivierGirard 2 ай бұрын

Hey dear! Indeed, lumbar support can be an issue for overweight/obese people: it needs to be higher, and most chairs don't offer this. Kinnarps chairs offer this feature but for many others it's a real problem...

Thank you for this amazing video! I just have one question: you rightly said that a wrist rest is not needed for a vertical mouse, but does it make sense for a traditional mouse? And above all, do traditional mice that boast of having ergonomic shapes for a more natural grip (but which are not vertical, like the Mx Master 3S) make sense, or are they marketing gimmicks?

@OlivierGirard 4 ай бұрын

You're welcome! 2 good questions... - reg. the wrist rest, here is my opinion: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYW2ppugpbh_fsk - reg. ergonomic shapes, they can make sense indeed in the sense that they MIGHT reduce the muscle strain in the hand. But the more fancy shape you have, the greater the risk that some dimension doesn't fit you. So I would say: either you'll love it or you'll hate it, there won't be an inbetween :)

@@OlivierGirard Thank you. I watched the video you pointed me to, I have one last question: I saw that there are wrist rests for mice that glide with you, I was convinced it was simply a marketing gimmick, but based on what I understand, I think they might make sense for a horizontal mouse considering that we care about avoiding horizontal and vertical wrist movements.

I believed they were great too… but this I tried weren’t attached to the mouse so they were never at the right place when reaching for the mouse. If they are attached to it maybe it’s a different thing… just never found those 😄

Have the same mouse as you. It really helped me to get rid of pain in my forearm and wrist

So Logitech lift is not recommended?

Olivier thank you for such a great review, One thing about trackballs, it takes some time and practice to become efficient with it. But it is possible in 2 - 3 weeks. Also it is important to have mouse acceleration on set in the mouse settings so that you can move quick from one corner to another, and slow when you need more precisions.
