I have randomly decided to buy a cheap vertical mouse when I needed a new mouse in my office, and it has been suprisingly easy to get used to. I didn't struggle with it, and after a few hours I didn't even notice any difference, so I highly recommend giving it a try.

I still use regular mouse for gaming, but for any office work or programming, as well as in a laptop bag, I have this mouse. I haven't really looked into any research behind it, and since I'm fortunate to not have issues with my wrist (so far), I can't really rate the health benefits, but I assume it should be at least slightly better than a regular mouse.

And since the transition was effortless, the mouse is cheap and works for daily programming and web browsing perfectly, even if the health benefit was actually small, I don't see any reason why not use it instead of a regular mouse.
