Memes aside, this is why I use a vertical gaming mouse. Carpal tunnel is no longer an issue.
Is there an actual gaming mouse? Last time I checked those all were horrible office-mice at best.
I use this one. (Zelotes C-18)
Yes it's Chinese, but it is a real gaming mouse. Decent build quality, and unlike other cheap Chinese mice, it tracks perfectly without skipping frames. I use it to play competitive shooters. The software it comes with is straightforward and easy to use for button mapping. You also get 5 DPI settings that can be manually set to anything you want.
My only complaint is that I wish the joystick was a D-Pad because it's not analog. So it's not really meant for one-handed gaming, but it's useful for stuff like weapon switching, or other functions that would normally be assigned to the D-Pad if you were playing with a controller. Also it would be nice if the RGB lights were compatible with SignalRGB or OpenRGB, but very few Chinese products are so I simply turned off the lights in the included app.
I've been using it for over four years and if it ever breaks, I'll just get another one. Best mouse I've ever owned.
You had me at "yes it's Chinese".
