Is this bad ergonomics?

I naturally gravitate towards holding the computer mouse like this. With the hand rotated slightly to the right (when viewed from above).

I’m right handed.

I notice I get some aching on the right part of my wrist.

I thinjpk it is bad ergonomics

do you know whats correct, how should I hold it? I don’t want to give up yet another hobby because of injury or pain

You can buy an ergonomic mouse :mouse:

Why don’t use a trackpad/touchpad instead? The computer mouse will be obsolete in the future. Gestures such as 2-finger, 3-finger and even 4-finger swipes as well as double-tap, triple-tap and quadruple-tap & pinch and zoom have replaced all the buttons on a computer mouse.

Yes I have thought about getting a track pad for my desktop PC. Do you have any products you can recommend?

Do you have a Microsoft Windows, Apple Mac or Linux computer/laptop?

I have a macbook and a desktop PC with windows. I like using my desktop but if trackpads don’t exist for desktop I could use the macbook.

Well, if you have an Amazon account, you can have these items as depicted below delivered to you home. Trackpads/Touchpads are available for both Macintosh & Windows.

If I can’t do art with mouse or trackpad either, I’m bummed out. But I’m so used to things not working now that I have stopped caring so much.
