Reddit reviews IMAK A10165 Wrist Cushion - Black (D132) (IMAA10165)

I have fairly large hands as well and honestly, the best thing for me hasn't been the mouse itself, it's been a wrist support pad. I use the Logitech M510. I used to have the Performance MX but it got lost in a move, and after using the 510 for that interim while it was just fine. I have my arm rest on my chair set up so my arm doesn't move much and the sensitivity of the mouse such that I'm not all over the mousepad. Guess my point is look at the whole picture. It totally may be the mouse, but also may be something else.

Btw, here's the pad I have: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005XWR5NA/

I like this discussion, I think good stretches and warmups are important to any activity, whether it be yoga, football, or gaming.

On that note, ergonomic positioning and technique is very important to save your limbs over the long haul. Trust me, I got some serious carpal tunnel from my laptop keyboard. To help combat this, I recommend a couple of products to make gaming for comfortable:

• Gaming Keypads: The linked one is my current keyboard, although I got it for much, much cheaper. It gives you a natural palm rest and the ability to move your keyboard freely for enhanced comfort.
  
  
• Wrist cushions to keep your wrists level, and ease the strain of long sessions.
  
  
• Wrist Braces Which do a lot to keep more strain off your wrists, and pressure off of your painful median nerve.
  
  
• Comfort-conscious mice I haven't had a chance to try this one out personally, but it is important to use a mouse that is the right size for your hands.
  
  Another good practice is to make sure your chair and desk height are high enough to keep your arms level to your input devices.
  
  Products listed are items I currently use, and I am not paid for their endorsement, I have found they were economical and practical for the prices I paid

Look into trackball mice. I started having symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome and tried about 7 different mice. They ranged from vertical mice to trackball. I did try out the anker vertical, and found out it wasn’t helping with all of my strain issues. I ended up settling on a traditional trackball mouse. It’s admittingly a huge learning curve. It does take a good amount of time to get used to it, and efficient enough where you’re not “thinking” to not move the mouse around (you use trackball mice in the stationary position).

I started with the Logitech M570 and used that with a Wrist Rest from my second semester of grad school until I finished (this spring). I would still have some strain, and then the Logitech MX Ergo came out and I bought it. Instantly hooked. It’s best of both worlds with trackball and vertical. Little tidbit, BestBuy sells an exclusive variant that includes an extra piece that increases the mouse’s angle. I recommend getting that one as I can’t live without it. It’s called the MX Ergo Plus.

Like you, I was having searing pains in my wrist and up my forearm after a long day of using Rhino. Both 2D drafting, and 3D modeling. Switching to an ergonomic mouse, for me a trackball and “vertical-esque” model has saved me!

Good luck, and if you have any questions just let me know!

Try getting one of these, my wrist hasn't hurt since I started using it. http://www.amazon.com/IMAK-A10165-Wrist-Cushion-Black/dp/B005XWR5NA/

I use a Imak at work and home. Also have the keyboard rest.

I'm in IT, and sit at a glass desk (the most uncomfortable table edges I tell you what) for about 7 hours out of the day. This wrist rest has saved my right wrist from certain destruction.

My left wrist isn't as bad, as my keyboard is further away from the edge of the table, but I have considered getting the keyboard wrist rest from the same maker.

Hope that helps a bit. Cheers.

Basically a premium beanbag, I tried a gel one but it was too hard, this feels very nice.
