How to hold a mouse correctly

Today, computer mouse manufacturers are increasingly trying to make their product original. Because of this, some people are unable to control such a simple device, or it becomes inconvenient for users. Today, we will look at the types of computer mice, their varieties, and how to properly hold this or that model...

What are the shapes?

A standard computer mouse is made in an oval shape. It is considered comfortable for most people and does not have any significant additions in the form of branches or finger holders. It can be deep or narrow, depending on the desire and its purpose.

Comfortable models have also been created for people with a working left hand. After all, it is difficult for people with such a defect to use standard devices for working with a computer, so this option was proposed for them. There are no special differences in the device, there were only changes for PCM LMB - they were swapped. And the body itself (if it is not symmetrical) is mirrored for additional convenience.

REFERENCE! Office mice may be uncomfortable for some people. In this case, you purchase an improved version of a regular mouse - this is a gaming mouse.

The product received this name in order to increase the ease of control, which is very important in video games.But the device isn't just for gamers; office workers also use the product to improve ease of management.

How to hold it correctly

You definitely need to learn how to hold a computer mouse correctly. Otherwise, it will lead to a bad habit and it will be difficult for you to find a suitable model for your hand.
If it is standard:

1. Narrow - position your hand so that your index finger is on the left button and your middle finger is on the right. The hand should hang slightly over the narrow mouse. The remaining fingers will position themselves along the arm.
   The narrow one is considered the most inconvenient for both work and play. But they are purchased by people who are accustomed to the shape or by girls with small hands.
2. High - position your fingers exactly the same as on the previous model, and cover the upper part with your hand. This is how an overpriced (aka office) mouse holds up. Most enterprises in offices and ordinary users prefer this option, considering it more convenient.

Professional. A professional computer mouse costs significantly more than an office mouse. This affects the ease of control. Holding one is no more difficult than a regular one. The placement of the hand is exactly the same, only additional branches are involved, namely: the thumb holder, little finger holder and finger extensions. At first it will be quite unusual for you, but for some people the device is at hand right away.

How to hold a left-handed person

Usually, if they are left-handed, people buy a mouse for a special purpose, that is, for the left hand. If you need to learn how to manage the general one, then follow the following algorithm.

• 1) Place the mouse on the left side, under your working hand.
• 2) Place your hand in a way that is most comfortable for you, regardless of the location of the keys.
• 3) Now try working on sites, links, etc. to get used to the inverted button layout.

Inverted control will become familiar to you after 3-4 days of active use. But if you ideally want to use a left-handed mouse (for example, for video games), then it is better to immediately purchase a special one. It will be more convenient for you, and you can get used to it within an hour at the computer.

Today, people are working more and more on the computer: creating articles, making reports, working on websites. And if holding the mouse incorrectly becomes a habit for you, you will have to constantly look for a suitable model, overpay for it, or even give up working on the computer. In this case, it will be difficult for you to perform even simple actions on the service, not to mention control in video games.
