Keep the wrist straight, not bent upward, at the mouse
The single biggest desk-setup change for wrist strain. Fewer than five independent reports so far, so it is still unverified — try it and file one.
Why it works
A mouse positioned too high, or a wrist resting on a pad angled upward, compresses the carpal tunnel with every click. Keeping the forearm, wrist and hand in a straight line removes that compression regardless of how many hours are spent clicking.
Did it work for you?
One report per person. This is the only thing that moves the badge — there is no like button.
