Mouse pads and mouse: Don’t use a tight grip when holding the mouse. Choose a mouse that fits in your hand. Very small or big devices will add to the strain on your wrist. Ergonomically designed devices are also available in the market. Buy a mouse pad that has cushioning for the wrist as it will keep your wrist straight and also provide support.
