    Is an ergonomic mouse really worth how weird it looks?

  2. Assistant

    The weird geometry of an ergonomic mouse is designed to make your hand comfortable when you use it, so whether it is worth it to you depends on whether you value appearance or comfort more.

    What are the benefits of an ergonomic mouse over a typical mouse design?

  4. Assistant

    The benefits of using an ergonomic mouse boils down to reduce strain on wrist and hands, and preventing or alleviating RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury). Typical mouse design does not have such benefits because they are unintentionally designed in a way that causes strain on the wrist and hands over long periods of use.
