We’re all guilty of spending too much time at our computers. Whether it be for work, study or leisure, anyone who’s used a computer for long periods of time has most likely experienced sore or tight arms, wrists, and muscles (it may affect you from your neck all the way down to your legs). These pesky aches and pains can be a result of poor posture and RSI (repetitive strain injury), but luckily, ergonomic computer accessories can help to reduce or even avoid them.
Logitech MX Vertical Ergonomic Wireless Mouse
Logitech's MX Vertical Ergonomic Wireless Mouse has a unique 57-degree vertical design that's been engineered to reduce muscle strain. Every contour has been intentionally implemented to offer ultimate comfort so that you can get more done, more efficiently, without all the aches and pains that come with a regular mouse. It also features a best-in-class 4000 DPI high-precision sensor, resulting in 4x less hand movement. Additionally, it has a premium precision scroll wheel featuring a convenient middle click, allowing you to get things done faster.
Not only does it offer great comfort and ergonomics, but it also has some other awesome features. Logitech Flow allows you to seamlessly control multiple computers/devices. You can pair up to three devices and easily switch between them with the tap of a button. You can also customise buttons, set application-specific functions, and adjust cursor speed. This mouse has an awesome battery life, lasting up to four months on a full charge - and get three hours of use from a quick one-minute charge. The MX Vertical can be connected via the included USB-C charging cable, Logitech Unifying Receiver, or Bluetooth.

The Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Desktop Keyboard is built with advanced ergonomic principles in mind. It's designed with a split keyboard layout that keeps wrists and forearms in a relaxed position, and a cushioned palm rest to provide wrist support. The domed keyboard shape works to reduce and correct wrist movement that can cause pain and limited mobility. The natural arc keyboard layout follows the curve of your fingertips for a more natural way of typing; while the reverse tilt design positions the keyboard at the correct angle to give you a straight, neutral wrist position. Additionally, the shape of the mouse is designed for maximum wrist comfort. The curved wireless mouse reduces strain that a lengthier mouse can cause over time. "The keyboard is the best I've ever used" says one of our customers Andrew. "All but fixed the RSI I had in my fingers and is so comfortable to use."
