I have suffered with carpal tunnel for years and I am a avid gamer . I pretty much quit because the pain and numbness were so distracting I could not enjoy the game . The second I changed my hand position I noticed a difference! I will definitely be using this technique from now on . THANK U

Doctor, I can't thank you enough for this video! I started feeling pain in my fingers, and thought it was because of my new mouse (that maybe was too small). I found I had a fingertip grip, and started looking for that kind of mouse for me. When actually what I needed was a proper grip! That's when I found your video. Thank you for showing us this valuable, simple and so effective way of using the mouse!

I've been gaming on my pc since I was about 9 years old. This helps so much I'm able to enjoy gaming with friends without the throbbing pain in my wrist. I'm really glad I found this video. Keep up the good work!

What!! life changing! I go to a physical therapist and chiropractor and neither has hit on mouse ergonomics specifically.

I was doing shock therapy for my CT and it would ease up after each session until I started working again then I remembered this video and decided to try it, took some getting used to but it's now a habit, can't hold a mouse any other way and the pain in my hands are now literally from PRE PT - 90%, POST PT - 15 - 25%, MOUSE TECHNIQUE - 5%! Having a chair with an armrest is a must has well if you are going to be working for hours, I also switched to "hover" typing and now there is next to no pain in either hands. Doing regular hand exercises and warm compression after a long day and my hands feel as good as new, insane.

Thank you so much, sir! This computer programmer here just checked in to your youtube office with some carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms and is feeling much better about tomorrow's work day.

Hi from 2024! Great tip! Any video for the keyboard please.

[TaraWagner]

I think I'm going to switch to left just to force myself to relearn from scratch and not fall back into old habits! This is super helpful. I'm excited to see how it helps.

Thanks for the video . I have to start using this method . My right hand has been going numb from working on the computer for hours .

[spicerc]

I also recommend taking your hands out of the usual, palm-down, mouse-holding position as often as possible. The neutral position (like you're holding a coffee mug) is much less stress on your tendons than the palm-down position that we scroll and type with.

Hey man I am currently doing a giveaway and at first it was really painful. I was just feeling a sharp pain in my wrist and couldn't quite find the right way to click. Now that I have watched this video I feel confident in holding my mouse comfortably and drawing the winner in a swift, comfortable, and most importantly HEALTHY way. Appreciate you! <3 <3

[itsagoodday]

Lol i just change my hands to the left. It is so awkward. Changing my select option to left was a bit weird for me. Thanks for the tips.

[HopeOfRay]

Thanks, Doc! Keep up the good work man

[jack_sparrow]

Just started gaming . Thanks i will use this technique. Precaution is better than cure ❤️

[GigaDonk]

Thank you so much for making this, I just got a PC about a month ago and already have been having occasional pain in my palm and wrist due to how I've been gripping the mouse for hours on end. I knew I must be doing something wrong. If pinching your nerves was the normal way to hold a mouse, my friends would be in too much pain to play CS:GO as much as they do lol
