Mice to try when your wrist already hurts

Buy it if

• Wrist discomfort that gets worse through the week
• Small or medium hands that the larger vertical mice swallow
• You need a left-handed vertical mouse, which barely exists otherwise

Skip it if

• Precision work where the lower sensor resolution shows
• You want the free-spinning scroll wheel from the Master line

Buy it if

• Large hands that overhang smaller vertical mice
• You want to keep using it while it charges
• Forearm rotation is the specific thing that hurts

Skip it if

• Small hands — the Lift exists for a reason
• You need a left-handed shape

Buy it if

• Spreadsheets and long documents, where the free-spinning wheel earns its keep
• Three computers and one mouse
• You share a room and the old model's click was too loud

Skip it if

• Small hands — this is a large, high-backed shape
• You want a symmetrical shape for left-handed use

Buy it if

• Design or CAD work where sensor precision genuinely matters
• You want a mild ergonomic angle without going fully vertical
• Low-latency wireless matters more than battery life

Skip it if

• You would rather not install Synapse to remap buttons
• The white shell picking up grime bothers you

Buy it if

• macOS gesture navigation is central to how you work
• The mouse spends more time being looked at than used
• You want something that disappears into a minimal desk

Skip it if

• You use a mouse for more than about an hour at a time
• Charging from a port on the underside is an obvious problem
