Did you know that heavy computer users move their mouse up to 17 miles (27 km) each year? Gear up for this scrolling and clicking marathon with the right device. Ergonomic mice are shaped to fit your arm and wrist like a glove.


These kinds of mice are designed for a more natural fit and better forearm position—and much like a hot bath, they take the pressure off allowing you to stay productive for longer. But how exactly do they work?

A mouse that places your arm in a natural handshake position can help you reduce muscular strain*. A vertical mouse like the MX Vertical promotes a more ergonomic posture and consequently, comfort. For people with small to medium hands or left-handed people, the Logitech Lift Vertical Ergonomic Mouse will be a great fit, while also creating a natural handshake position. Both choices have the ideal tilt angle to support a natural, straight forearm posture throughout your day.

While working on a computer, we often put pressure on the tendons and nerves that go through the underside of the wrist, which have little natural protection from surrounding tissues. The excessive pressure can be mitigated by supporting the hand at an angle. A great mouse becomes one with your arm, so you can rest your palm and fingers.

Repetitive movements mean repetitive muscle strain. Well-designed ergonomic mice ensure less movement and therefore less fatigue. A trackball mouse like the MX Ergo can be a great choice to take some work off your hand. Another option is a vertical mouse, such as the MX Vertical, which comes with advanced optical tracking and a dedicated cursor speed switch for 4X less hand movement*. By giving your hand a break, you can wave goodbye to fatigue and discomfort after a long day at work.
