      I absolutely wouldn’t trust anker with a device that plugs into my computer after their subbrand eufy got caught spying on people through the cameras they advertised as storing the footage local only but were uploading them to the cloud and it looks like it’s not that different in shape from the logitech lift or mx vertical which you can buy directly from logitech and not on amazon maybe I’m missing something but it just looks like a standard vertical mouse though admittedly pretty cheap

    If your wrist is twisted your shoulder joint isn’t open enough. Lift that elbow.

    Jesus… I almost sent this to a coworker because he’s the only one I know that uses a vertical mouse.

    Then I saw Saddam. Lol

        I tried using a vertical mouse for a while. Trying to click with it without the mouse moving at the same time made me want to throw the thing across the room. It causes you to grip it much harder than you need to grip a regular mouse which eliminates any ergonomic benefit it theoretically has. If you need ergonomics, focus on the basics like desk, chair, and monitor height.

        Lol, “unnatural”

          Yeah I enjoyed the relaxed arm posture but trying to do fine line tracing and clicking in Photoshop made me give up on it

          I use a Logitech Master mx3s and it works great. It doesn’t have the right angle to be considered a vertical mouse, but it’s angle works better for me. I also struggled a bit with vertical mouses, but I believe it was caused by the cheap products I bought and not the angle itself. But for now I’m set with my mx3s.

    I feel like I’m missing the joke. Can someone explain why Saddam is there?

      Cuz he’s twisted

      like your ulna & radius are forced to twist over each other when you grab an old-fashioned non-ergonomic computer mouse

          The development of the meta of the meme became adding him to more and more outrageous hiding spots, which isn’t really captured on knowyourmeme.

          I think this works because it’s a surprisingly good hiding spot because he sort of blends in to the aesthetic of the image, but is silly for obvious reasons to anyone who’s tried hiding inside a forearm.

          Also the fact that he was snuck into images like this makes his appearance come with a sort of “gotcha” moment, a little like recognising Loss or similar memes. The humour is for people who’ve seen it before, but not for a while, who go “haha mouse… Oh goddammit” when they see it.
