Has anyone successfully switched their mouse usage to the non-dominant arm? I've been experimenting with it for the past couple days, and it has been pretty OK - still need my dominant arm when coding, but for general browsing it's pretty reliable. Reason in doing this: my dominant arm is in pain from mouse usage.
You look into ergonomic options? Having your palm face left instead of down does wonders. Also wrist exercises
Have you tried a trackball mouse? Much easier on the wrist
try trackpad extremely ergonomic and now you don't need mice when travelling however the aim at the videogames becomes crap because of no practice...
also this massage and stretching helps a lot of conditions in the body https://www.liebscher-bracht.com/en/encyclopedia-of-pain/carpal-tunnel-syndrome/exercises/
Yes - this is super geeky but I actually use a lefty ergonomic mouse and a righty ergonomic mouse at the same time π sometimes Iβm using both simultaneously, and sometimes Iβm using one or the other - definitely alleviated over use pain. When Iβm using both simultaneously I can move really fast
For me, a trackball was the solution. Any pointing device with palm facing down is a no from now on. Vertical mouse can work too, can recommend Logitech for both options.
Sure. My cat slept on my right hand all the time and forced me to use left hand for keyboard and mouse.
Yes. Did it for the same reason, wrist pain. Am not generally very ambidextrous and took a little time. Felt like really cool deep brain rewiring.
