Having wrist pain, unsure of what it might be? I've been having wrist pain on and off for the past couple of years. It seems every timee I go to the doctors, it magically disappears lol.

Is there a mouse out there that completely alleviates the wrist strain, and best prevents the onset of, or accomodates those who suffer from carpal tunnel?
