    Is it weird to like this? I feel like this would be hella comfortable. Does it have buttons on the side for the fingers? Because that would be cool as hell.

      Yes there are buttons. Search for vertical mouse. Several companies make them.

      A lot of people like them.

      I used a vertical mouse for a while and found that it puts more strain on my shoulder and ended up going back. Your mileage may vary

        You have to sit pretty strangely, like leaned back with your arm fully against your side so the weight of your forearm pushes into you rather than pulling on your shoulder. It does trade a LOT of hand strain for a slight bit of shoulder strain though.

      I’ve got a vertical mouse and I love it. hell I had to use a regular one at work recently and it felt sooooo wrong to use. there’s definitely an adjustment period in the beginning but humans are nothing if not adaptable. I recommend 100%

      I have the Logitech Lift which is quite comfortable to use. They also have a bigger one called the MX Vertical. But many people say it’s a bit too large for them so I bought the Lift since I don’t have big hands.

        My girlfriend has a fused wrist. She started developing a lot of pain during/after work using a regular mouse. I got her the Lift, she’s been using it for over a year and loves it. She did say it takes a bit getting used to it.
