Memes aside, this is why I use a vertical gaming mouse. Carpal tunnel is no longer an issue.
how old are you and how long did it take to develop? I've never hurt my hand while gaming, this "carpal tunnel" buzzword seems like a hoax to me. Should I be scared, and do some preventive mesures, or are some people just immune?
Also, I game A LOT, and I only experienced exhaustion a couple of timed after a whole day of fps games, no other genre did any strain on me.
In your 40s, you will pay for the sins of your 20s. Pay attention to your ergonomics because by the time you feel pain the damage is already done.
I use thick cushiony gel wrist supports and an ergonomic mouse. Why would anyone want to be less comfortable and risk future issues?
