JZL · Dec 2, 2019, 11:33 PM

Maybe I'm getting carpal tunnel but sometimes after a while my hand gets a little numb [/waits for fapping jokes].

Has anyone gamed with one of these?

I've never used the Ergo mouse, but I game with a trackball. That might be a better option for you.

I have never used one for gaming. But I know everytime I work with one of those I manage to knock it to the floor.

Personally went the finger tip trackball route.

friend of mine has the ergo at work, has the same issue. went with a different side mouse at home for gaming and stuff and no issues at all, says its perfect.

EDIT: its an evoluent. Swears by it. I do think he had some hand cramping at first though maybe. Would make sense, the hand getting used to a new working position.

At > $100 that's pricey for me but it may be worth it. I found that HXSJ on Prime for $16 and bought it just to see how one feels. It's on a slow boat from China so I'll be lucky to get it by xmas.

I use an ergo mouse at work, takes a little bit to get used to but I don't see why you couldn't game with one.

Certainly. It's not even on that slow boat yet, though.
