What are you using? I’ve been thinking about switching too.
Comment on Cable placement a little weird, but the ergonomics are excellent.

Real talk, though. I switched to a vertical mouse and almost all of my hand pain went away. Really enjoying it.

Anker makes a cheap vertical mouse that works pretty well for me. I would suggest trying that first because it will take time to get used to.
If you are willing to spend a little more, the Evoluent vertical mouse absolutely beats everything I’ve tried in terms of comfort. I bought an older model on eBay because I didn’t want to spend a lot. The only problem with the Evoluent is that the button your middle finger is under is the middle button and your ring finger is the right click. If you can remap the buttons, then it would be hands down the best option. Unfortunately, not everyone can install stuff to remap buttons on their work computer.

Not quite fully vertical, but I got a Microsoft Sculpt Mouse ten years ago and it was an overnight improvement. I fear the day it finally gives up the ghost.

Me too. It was one of the few things in life that made a huge difference.

I tried a vertical mouse for two days, and painful sensation came to my wrist and arm the first evening, I switched back after the second day and pain was gone after a few more days. Never again. I don’t doubt it’s good for some people, but it’s not for everyone. And I don’t understand why it’s never said anywhere that not everyone will be more comfortable with it.
