The whole idea behind ergonomic gear is that it’s specially designed to relieve pain, improve comfort and increase your overall productivity. If your current mouse, keyboard or office chair isn’t working for you, or it’s causing you pain, maybe it’s time to try an ergonomic alternative.
The Mouse
Logitech MX Vertical: There are a different types of ergonomic mice. Most are horizontal (or traditional), but vertical mouse like the MX Vertical positions your wrist and hand upwards, which is their more natural position. This positioning prevents pronation or your wrist from rolling over.
The Keyboard
Microsoft Sculpt: The unique shape of an ergonomic keyboard is designed to help align the user’s left and right arms in more natural positions, thus reducing and relieving muscle strain. The Sculpt, Microsoft’s ergonomic keyboard, is one of the best and most affordable options out there.
The Laptop Stand
