Do you experience sore wrists (or other complaints) -from working with a screen? Not so strange when you consider how many hours you spend typing, clicking, swiping or scrolling not only in business but also in private life. Maybe you’ve already tried all sorts of things to avoid the discomfort: adjusting your sitting position when you think about it (sit upright!), looking away from your screen every now and then, and so on…
Ergonomic tools
If you know a little more about ergonomics – because you already suffer from RSI, for example – you may already be using ergonomic computer tools. Vertical mice, compact keyboards and break software are tools that help you to work healthily and complaint- free with screens. It is important, however, that you use the appropriate tools. Because, for instance, if you have large hands, you need a larger mouse. If you work with your left hand, then you’d better choose a left-handed mouse. If you type blindly, then a split keyboard is best for working with relaxed straight wrists.
Personal advantages and disadvantages
In offices and schools, ergonomic solutions are increasingly being considered for you. Many employers also want to contribute to healthy working by setting up ergonomic workstations. Unfortunately, the tools are often purchased collectively rather than individually, so it remains a struggle. But once you have your perfect healthy workplace, of course you want the same at home. Especially if you work hybrid and switch between the office and home. Are you going to buy your ergonomic tools double or would you rather take them with you in your bag? And is a big vertical mouse going to fit in there?
The multifunctional Twister
This is why it is handy that there are vertical mice that can be folded down and therefore easier to take with you.For example, the ergonomic R-Go Twister mouse, which in addition to being foldable is also ambidextrous. Meaning, you can use it with both your right and left hand. With an ambidextrous mouse, you can switch hands from time to time to rest one wrist and thus relieve the muscle tension. Because the Twister works wired and also via Bluetooth, this ergonomic mouse allows you to work ergonomically anywhere.
The right tool
When buying the right ergonomic tools, it’s helpful to know exactly what you need. The right size, the right function, the right convenience – it’s all important for the perfect solution in the fight against complaints such as RSI. Our tip is to first think about all these things and not just buy any ergonomic mouse. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us!
