There are many methods, including special peripherals, medical procedures and gymnastics. But, oddly enough, everything can be solved simpler. Hand health starts with normal computer mice.
Today I’ll tell you about the ones I chose after extensive testing. Accurate, convenient, high quality.
PS: a good mouse is a wonderful gift from caring friends and family.
Ergonomic mice
As soon as your hand with the mouse starts to get tired, it’s time to get a serious manipulator of the correct shape. Large, with a high rear rise, they are designed for full, full-palm grip.
Logitech MX Master 2s
Continuation of the legendary MX Revolution.
It seems to be the best that humanity has been able to create. Incredible ergonomics - the mouse turns into an extension of your hand. Among the disadvantages: it is difficult to get used to the absence of a middle button, it may be too big, not everyone likes the side scroll wheel. Buy on Yandex.Market: 5,850 rubles
Microsoft Wireless Sculpt Ergonomic
A small wireless mouse with an original shape. According to Microsoft experts, the mouse owes it to long-term testing and a unique development process. Not without reason, oh, not without reason. Really comfortable mouse, just not enough buttons.

This is not a mouse at all, but a trackball. The body remains in place, you need to twist the ball. The Last of the Mohicans - such manipulators are becoming increasingly rare. However, the trackball is considered the most accurate positioning tool.

Convenience and accuracy are the main qualities of such manipulators. They can often be more comfortable than ergonomic ones, but they look much worse. If you put it on an office desk, of course.

A budget option for a wireless gaming mouse. If necessary, it is connected with a USB cord and turns into a “tail”. Surprisingly popular, convenient and high-quality manipulator. It will replace anything for little money. Seems to be the only reasonable competitor to Logitech devices.

Computer mouse resolution
The higher the resolution, the more sensitive the mouse is to movement. Less movement on the table means more movement on the screen.
The maximum resolution of an optical mouse today is 1800 dpi, and for a laser mouse the maximum resolution is 5700 dpi.
Why do you need high mouse resolution? For computer games. High DPI makes it possible to aim with high accuracy, turn faster and make precise jumps. Draw your conclusions, gamers.
At the same time, to ensure that a computer mouse does not cause delays and difficulties in control, 800 dpi is enough (this is exactly the indicator for ball mice). In most modern mice this parameter can be switched.
Mouse resolution is often confused with the mouse sensitivity setting in the operating system toolbar.
In the mouse settings through the Windows control panel, you artificially change the scale of the surface under the sensor, and the mouse resolution is a real, physical value.
Office/universal mice
Typically, this category includes the cheapest manipulators of a standard form and without additional functions. But don’t forget that saving on health leads to sad results. A comfortable, correct mouse increases productivity. Recording mouse macros for office applications or code editors is invaluable.
Logitech M705
A simple and cheap (by Logitech standards) mouse with a bunch of additional keys and pleasant ergonomics. It is secretly considered one of the most convenient office mice for active use. The fact is that repairing Logitech accessories is amazingly simple, and the 2/3-year warranty works even in Russia - there are cases when people change their mouse from year to year at the end of the period, getting a new mouse.

Officially a wired gaming mouse. Due to the usual form factor and the classic arrangement of additional keys, it is worth considering it as an office “with privileges”. It will last much longer than a regular mouse, and is perfect for working with graphics or CAD systems - the accuracy of the sensor is unimaginable.

Microsoft Comfort Mouse
Another mouse from the “small soft ones”. You may not know, but they produce very convenient, correct, reliable computer accessories with crazy service life. And Comfort is also comfortable. But the accuracy is so-so, and with additional buttons it’s not very good.

A computer mouse is an accessory that needs to be selected responsibly. Not only how comfortable it will be for the child to play depends on it. But also whether his hand will become numb during use.
We will talk about how to choose a computer mouse and tell you the aspects that need to be taken into account.
What parameters should you pay attention to?
There are a number of important parameters that must be taken into account when selecting a mouse. Let's look at the main ones.
Body shape and product weight
This technical characteristic is almost one of the most important when selecting a mouse. The device must be easy to use. The child should feel comfortable while holding the object in his hand. If this condition is not met, then the item can be as expensive as desired. This will not bring any positive effect.
Before you buy a mouse for your child, let him hold it in his hand. Let him put it there. He will hold it and twist it. After some time, the teenager will be able to understand whether the body shape suits him. As a result, he will be able to choose an item based on the convenience parameter.
On more expensive items, you can even adjust the weight. Also, you will have the opportunity to purchase a specialized mouse for your child if he is left-handed. There are items that are created specifically for this hand.
Sensor type
There are two types of mice. They can be either touch or laser. To distinguish them, you need to carefully look around the manipulator. If the mouse is laser, then you will see an LED on this part of the object. It glows red.
The main advantage of a laser is that the product will work perfectly on any surface. In addition, the item reacts quite attentively to the child’s movements. Moves the sensor across the screen.
Pay attention to laser mice. They are more comfortable for the child. Including because he will be able to play with them on any surface. And the mouse itself will show itself perfectly in the process of life.
Connection type
According to this parameter, there are two types of mice. Either wired or wireless. The first type is considered the most reliable. Because, regardless of the duration of use, the item will function. The device will not discharge. And you won't have to change batteries at the most inconvenient moment.
Wireless mice also have a right to exist. They are convenient in their own way. Wireless mice can be either Bluetooth or USB. In the first case, you simply connect the mouse via a connection; you don’t need to insert anything into the computer. In the second - via a USB port. You will need to insert it into your computer, after which you can connect.
Also, the wireless option has no wires. This can be convenient if your child regularly gets confused in them.
The only downside to wireless mice is that they need to be recharged. One day they may run out. To prevent this from happening, you must always carry batteries with you.
Button type
There are mice with different types of buttons. Apple, for example, has a model with touch controls. Otherwise, mice come in different types. Some types have two buttons. Left and right. Others may have additional buttons. Four, five and so on. The child will be able to set hot keys in games on them.
In general, items with multiple buttons will not be overly effective. We recommend purchasing them only at the child's request. They do not have any special advantages.
Additional characteristics that should also be taken into account
Please note the following characteristics. They will help your child purchase the highest quality mouse.
DPI Resolution
This parameter is responsible for the maximum speed with which you can use the mouse while moving the pointer. That is, the cursor.
Marketers know that savvy buyers pay attention to this parameter most often. Accordingly, they try to attract their attention by any means. They write that the DPI of the mouse is high.
At the same time, the current setting does not affect the sensitivity of the mouse. You can set it to any level. Regardless of what DPI the item has.
For normal use the parameter is not particularly important. It is worth purchasing for a child only if he is involved in eSports. Or he plays so well that this parameter is extremely important for him.
Backlight as well as software
The mouse may have additional backlighting. It doesn't really affect anything. It just makes the computer desk feel cozy. It also provides the child with excellent illumination at night. Which can be quite convenient.
Some backlit mice may require additional hardware. It will be quite useful. For the reason that you can customize the mouse. Enjoy the process of using it.
Equipment
Various additional equipment can be included with the mouse. In particular, a wire for charging a wireless model or traditional batteries. Also, some expensive items come with replaceable buttons. Which is very convenient.
Sometimes the kit may include both a mouse and a keyboard. Any items can be completed. Both in the case of using office products and for games.
We recommend purchasing similar models. They are very easy to use. Also, if you buy a set of a mouse and keyboard, you can save money. Enjoy the process.
What types of mice are there?
We have already talked about standard models. Wired and wireless. There are no less interesting types of mice. Let's look at them.
Trackball
Mice of this type have serious differences from standard ones. They look like a traditional device, but upside down. The ball here is not inside the product, but outside. And with the help of it you have to control the trackpad.
At the same time, the ball also has its own characteristics. It's quite big. It is usually placed on the left side of the mouse. This device looks strange, but can be used quite effectively. And entertains the child.
Trackpad
This item allows you to rethink the way you control your computer or laptop. The product in appearance resembles a small tablet.
Various types of conductors are inlaid into such an object. Thanks to them, the item transmits a signal to the computer when the child clicks on it. Experts say such a device has broad potential. Moreover, the item is easy to use.
Presenter
This item allows you to control your computer remotely. In particular, it is used to switch slides during a presentation.
A special laser pointer is installed inside the object. With its help, the child will have the opportunity to emphasize an important point during the performance. The product can function for quite a long time. About twenty hours. The presenter does not need a break during this.
Wi-Fi mice
There are special Wi-Fi mice. They were invented quite recently. They are very easy to use. Moreover, they are convenient to use when interacting with a laptop.
Wi-Fi mice consume quite little electricity. At the same time, the product has a minus. If Wi-Fi turns off, the mouse will not be able to work.
Why might a child need a gaming mouse?
A gaming mouse has one important feature. It fits perfectly in the hand. And provides you with comfort during operation. Because it completely repeats the specific shape of the palm.
Also, a mouse of this type has an ideal sensor. In some aspects, it functions even better than its non-game counterparts.
If a child likes to play on the computer, then this model will suit him perfectly. It will make it feel great during use. And it will be an interesting experience. Also, his hand will not get tired. She will not be subject to negative influence from the outside. And the child will feel great.
Laptop mice
Although most users prefer to buy cheap, bright manipulators (which are not a pity), there are many convenient models in the compact segment.
