The MX Vertical: Logitech's New Ergonomic Mouse Form Factor Uses a "Handshake" Position
Put 'er there, pal
In an effort to combat wrist strain and carpal tunnel syndrome, the designers at Logitech have created a radical-looking mouse, the MX Vertical, whose main axis is tilted upwards at 57 degrees. This places your wrist in a more natural "handshake" position, which looks weird, but seems to make good sense:

The comfort form is designed to fit a variety of hand shapes and sizes, while the textured rubber surface and thumb rest ensure a solid and natural grip." Furthermore, they state that the product "provides a best-in-class 4,000 DPI high-precision sensor, resulting in up to 4x less hand movement."
Ergonomic comfort doesn't come cheap, of course: The MX Vertical will retail for $100 when it comes out next month.

But can I Fortnite with this? ^_^
This shape has been available for a long time. I bought this mouse at least 5 years ago:
Same here, been using the Anker mouse for years!
Me too! I had another brand a few years ago, but switched to the Anker about a year ago since it was wireless.

I think I'm on my 3rd Evoluent mouse, 2 wired and now a wireless. Been using them for about 10 years, I think.
I wonder how heavy this is. The issue with their MX Master is that it's very heavy and tires out my wrist.
and it is not left handed...grrr.
Evoluent makes a LH version
