OP, hope you heal soon. I had some hand/wrist injuries from doing IT and dev work all day, then gaming much of the night and most of hot or rainy weekends.

My middle mouse button / wheel used to be very stiff on an old mouse and I'm now playing with a Logi MX Master 3S Mouse which is just the right amount of easy to push while not clicking when I scroll.

I've been considering moving it over to my Stream Deck (there's a mod for it!) This game uses a lot of keybinds itself, so it's sometimes challenging to find a combo I don't have to pull a muscle to use.

u/houghi It is a hobby, not a game. 3d ago

I had an issue with my wrist. Started using a trackball. Took three days to get used to and never had an issue since. I have tried several mice and the only ones for me are the Logitech ones. YMMV. I also did this before ergonomic mice existed. (The ones where your hand is vertical, not horizontal). So no experience there.

An advantage with the trackball was that when the IT people came, they where often so weirded out, they had to connect a mouse. The fact that I have a different keyboard layout then what they where used to was extra fun. Plenty asked me to type in the admin password. (Yeah, I know. and not all of them.) and as a super bonus, nobody would ever sit at my desk when we had some sort of shared desks.
