Comment on Ask HN: What do you spend your money on?

Comments

Apparently many "gaming" mice, as I can't find something that doesn't bother my hand after a few hours.

Try a vertical ergonomic mouse, and also go for more walks and do some very light body weight exercises and stretches. My hand issues start coming back when I skip the activities long enough. A 15 minute walk around the block and then a minute of pushups and another minute of stretches is enough to keep the arm functional for me.

Good call--I do have a logitech ergo something or other I used for a bit. Maybe I'll go back to that.

24 grams. You won't even feel the weight of it.

Hate to break it to you, there will never be a solution for hours of gaming without some pain.

This seems like a weird comment. Many people use a mouse for long periods. I play competitively and at the end of the comp season each year I'll often play in full-bore try-hard mode for 14+ hours straight with no issues (I'm in my 40's). I think it's just different for different people.

It's not even much gaming at all (a few hours a week at most).

Mostly just "mousing around" for work stuff. Dunno, I think my hand is just busted.

physical therapy. hand exercises, weight training.

Using a range of different shapes is probably good for your hand anyway.
