Mouse recommendation for Allegro use

Hello everyone,

I apologize if this is not the right forum to use for this post.

I was wondering if anyone can suggest a specific mouse manufacturer/brand that is best for using with Allegro. I use Allegro 70+ hours a week and I am looking for a type of mouse that helps relief the stress off of my wrist and thumb. My hands are large which puts a lot of stress and strain on my hand and fingers when the mouse size is not proportional.

I tried so many mice but no luck. I also searched online for the best PC mice for CAD engineers and that did not lead anywhere.

So any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

    I don't know what your situation is now. I had the same problem before. I used the following methods to solve this problem. It did work.

    1. Change a mouse, a vertical mouse, as shown below, the brand is sanwa
    2. sanwa
    3. List the most used functions and set the shortcut keys in turn, and set the most frequently used functions on the left side of the keyboard, so that commands can be completed with only the left hand
    4. The complex operations to be completed by the mouse are also set as continuous shortcut keys, such as export gerger file, which should be completed by one key.
