I’m hoping this is an ok place to ask a question like this.
I recently had to get a new mouse because my old one broke. I couldn’t get exactly what I had before but I got something fairly similar. However, I’ve been struggling to tune it to feel good to use. It’s actually been putting a lot of strain on my arm even after short play sessions.
Does anyone know what might be causing this and how to fix it? What kind of things should I do to find the appropriate sensitivity/settings or maybe I’m holding my arm differently for some reason or maybe I need a different kind of mouse?
If it matters, here’s the old and new mice:
I moved to one by Logi at work and my RSI instantly disappeared. Not sure if I could grip it enough for gaming though.
I didn’t know Logitech made pinch mice!
I can game on my pinch mouse, no problem, it has lots of precision
I got the Logitech Lift and found it didn’t do it for me. It’s certainly better than a traditional mouse, but it’s at an angle that’s still not neutral. I ended up getting an Evoluent and it was much more comfortable.

Ohh, thats a vertical mouse! It uses upper arm muscles! I’m glad its working for you, thats great.
A pinch mouse uses the fine motor muscles in the hand, much like a pencil (no upper arm movement required).
It can use upper arm muscles. For me I use my fingers to move it, not much arm movement, much finer control on any mouse. Grip matters.
