Ergonomic mice that take the strain off your wrist
A standard flat mouse twists your forearm into a palm-down position and keeps it there for hours. An ergonomic mouse changes the angle your hand rests at — or removes the sliding motion entirely — so your wrist and forearm sit more naturally through a full working day. This range covers the three main approaches: a raised handshake grip, a fully vertical hold, and a stationary trackball.
An ergonomic mouse keeps your forearm in a neutral 'handshake' position to ease wrist strain. Match the form factor to your need: vertical, trackball, roller-bar or pen-grip. Deskt stocks six form factors, shipped free across the EU with a 2-year warranty.

Ergonomic mice reposition the hand to reduce forearm rotation and wrist load compared with a flat mouse. The main types are vertical mice (near-90° handshake grip), sculpted curve mice (a gentler raised angle), and trackballs (thumb or finger controls a ball, so the mouse never moves). Choose by grip preference, desk space, and whether you want to keep your arm still. Deskt ships these across the EU free of charge, prices are in EUR including VAT, with 14-day returns and a 2-year warranty.
Ergonomic mice — questions
Vertical mouse, curve mouse, or trackball — which should I pick?
Go vertical (vert-mouse) if you want the most upright, handshake-style grip and the biggest change from a flat mouse. Choose the curve mouse (curve-mouse) for a gentler raised angle that feels closer to a normal mouse while still reducing forearm twist. Pick the trackball (orbit-ball) if you have limited desk space or want to keep your arm still and move only the ball.
Do I need to relearn how to use an ergonomic mouse?
Vertical and curve mice work like an ordinary mouse — you still glide them across the desk, just with your hand held at a different angle, so most people adjust within a day or two. A trackball is a bigger change, since you roll the ball instead of moving the device; expect a short learning period before it feels natural.
Are these mice wired or wireless?
The Vertical Wireless Mouse (vert-mouse) connects wirelessly. Check each product page for the exact connection type, buttons and specifications of the Curve Ergonomic Mouse (curve-mouse) and Orbit Trackball Mouse (orbit-ball) before ordering.
