I have the mx ergo which I bought to prevent carpal tunnel syndrome (not that I got a problem, but few persons around started having it).

And I wouldn't recommend it, I end up having some pain in my right thumb, that stopped when I stopped using it.

However this is just my experience.

Try it again if you have it in a drawer, its funky to get use to like re-training a muscle. Maybe try the Ergo Plus instead, I don't like the rubber material on the top but the added angle has my hand resting on it naturally.

I stopped using it a month ago, after having a pain in my thumb that was there constantly and I never had. Now, it does not hurt anymore. I do have the mx ergo plus.

I never had any problem with any mouse, it is the fact that I need to move the thumb so much. Also I might have a job which is more intensive in mouse than most people coding.

Or perhaps is that the "celtic hand" runs in my family and it is not good to use. I am afraid I will have to sell it, which I don´t particularly like because it costed me quite a lot.
