Using a mouse with an incorrect grip can lead to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
In recent years, the trend of ergonomics in technology has emerged, offering comfort and safety to frequent computer and electronic device users, optimizing the interaction between people and products, mostly based on medical principles.
Women can easily upgrade the ergonomics of their mouse usage with the following three items, increasing efficiency and minimizing hand numbness and wrist pain when using the mouse.
Ergonomic Mouse
At first glance, you may find the design of an ergonomic mouse quite different from a traditional mouse, with a higher body and a tendency to curve inward on both sides, along with an asymmetry that can be uncomfortable. However, this design is based on extensive research by manufacturers to ensure the most comfortable grip that reduces wrist strain, resembling a handshake. As a result, it provides a secure yet comfortable feel for users.
The ergonomic mouse has a strange shape but provides the most comfortable grip.
Moreover, holding an ergonomic mouse can help minimize pressure on the blood vessels and nerves in the wrist, naturally supporting your hand and giving you a relaxed feeling even while working.
Women can purchase an ergonomic mouse starting at just VND 250,000.
Ergonomic Wrist Rest
Using a traditional mouse often leads to resting your wrist and blood vessels on the edge of the table. This is one of the reasons for compressed blood vessels, resulting in hand numbness and pain. The problem arises from the significant height difference between the mouse and the table, leaving the hand without support and pressing on the table edge.
The small wrist rest makes a big difference by balancing the mouse grip.
An ergonomic wrist rest can help women balance their mouse usage posture, providing comfort and ease when moving and clicking the mouse. Most wrist rests are made of soft materials like silicone, foam with leather covering, or textured fabric. Using a wrist rest is simple: just place it in a suitable position so that your wrist rests on it, facing the computer mouse.
With a soft price of only VND 69,000, you can improve your wrist health with an ergonomic wrist rest.
Ergonomic Mouse Pad
A mouse pad provides a smooth surface for easy mouse movement and keeps the mouse sensor clean and sensitive. Traditional mouse pads are made of thin rubber, printed with various colors, but they tend to wear out and peel over time, and their anti-slip capability is limited. As a result, mouse usage is affected, and the wrist doesn’t feel comfortable.
Say goodbye to discomfort with an ergonomic mouse pad that grips the table firmly.
Similar to the wrist rest, the ergonomic mouse pad has a silicone wrist rest that makes mouse usage smoother and reduces pressure on the blood vessels. Notably, the mouse pad is usually longer in the direction of the wrist, and its textured surface enables continuous mouse movement for extended periods without causing fatigue. Its anti-slip and table-gripping properties further enhance the smoothness and ease of women’s computer work.
Currently, an ergonomic mouse pad costs around VND 100,000 on average.
