I've never tried it but the idea of constantly holding something just sounds like hell for the carpals.
You don't hold them any more than a horizontal mouse
Wouldn't you thumb it against your palm so that your fingers are always aligned with the buttons, such is the case with laying your hand atop a regular mouse?
You just lay your hand on it. After a few minutes it settles as a natural resting position. And let me tell you, it's sooooo much better than resting your hand on a traditional mouse. Best thing: these cheap vertical mice are not inherently worse than, say, a Logitech MX vertical. Just give it a try for 20 bucks.
Well random cheap mice could die after a while (happened to my brother), or need battery replacements often (happens to a colleague). Logi MX vertical has the benefit that you can charge it, and it lasts quite a long time before you need to recharge it.
Though honestly I'd never spend €100+ on a mouse. My company offered money to buy office things, I didn't need anything so I took the mx vertical haha.
The more somebody tries to sell me something, the more apprehensive I am to it.
But wait, there's more! For only 85 easy payments of $69.69 you can get 420 more copies of hurdurhurdur weekly!
:P
I was experiencing some wrist pain at work so I had my employer buy me one. If you have real ergonomics concerns, you can always try that route.
