Don't use a curved mouse. Use a symmetrically shaped mouse. Consider a larger mouse, such as the Whale mouse , that encourage arm rather than wrist movements. Load sharing - if you want to load share between your right and left hands, that is using the mouse for some of the time with each hand. Other input devices - whether you choose a different mouse design, a trackball, a joystick, a pen, a touchpad or some other input device, make sure that your position this comfortably, and that your wrist is in a neutral position when using the device.
Good arrangement is a pad on an angled platform to the side of the keyboard.
Poor arrangement is a flat surface to the side of the keyboard Worst arrangement is on the desk out to the side of the keyboard. More information on our Mouse research studies.
