Reddit reviews Anker® Vertical Ergonomic Optical Mouse, Wired, USB, 5 Buttons - Black

You don't need a pc to check your dps. You can fight the o5s dummy, if you don't beat it on time and it has loads of hp left, then you got some work to do on your gear and/or dps rotation.

> Told him I’m only here to play this game and have fun, he said I’m screwing up with my bad DPS.

And why do you think that person is there? They're there to have fun too.

Being there just for fun doesn't mean it's okay to not be practical about things. You went there for a kill, everyone else did too. It's not fun to keep trying when it's futile. If your dps was as low as you were told, then it's likely you made killing the boss impossible. A lot of people don't find a lost cause fun.

> Was playing FFXIV for the 1st time in 2 months from coming out of the hospital (car accident which gave me a mild concussion and gave me issues with the right side of my brain and some numbness in my right hand). I always been good at FFXIV but I lost some movement in my right hand and my play style has changed.

I really understand where you're coming from. I'm recovering from nerve damage in my back. At its worst I couldn't even hold a spoon to feed myself. For months I couldn't play any games, when I could play ff again I couldn't do more than one or two roulettes a day for months.

But random players won't know this at all. No one assumes if someone is playing badly it must be because of some injury. They assume it's because that player doesn't know what they're doing (and to be fair this is the case most of the time). Even if you did tell them it doesn't change that your performance wasn't good enough.

My advice would be to play with people you know. When I started doing combat again I did all my roulettes with the same tank. If I started getting pains or numbness I told him on voice chat and he slowed down his pulls or used defensive cooldowns (I was healing) to reduce the amount of things I had to do. He paced how he played to match the pace I could achieve with my condition at the time.

It's going to suck to read this but you may have to face the fact that you're currently not savage material. I certainly was not until more than a year had passed since my own injury. I get that you want to do challenging content, I really do. But wanting to do it and being able to are not the same thing.

You say your injury affected your playstyle, it affected me too. It forced me to use an ergonomic mouse instead of an ordinary one. It was strange to use at first but the difference it made in how much I could play was huge. After making this change I could play much more and better. Perhaps you should look in to controlling your character with something else.

I hear keyboard and mouse does work on ps4. You say you have issues with your right hand. With keyboard and mouse, if you use keyboard keybinds for your rotation then your left hand does most of the work. Playing in such a different way would be alien though so I'd advise learning to on an alt or a very low level class. It might be overwhelming to make the switch and have to relearn how to interact with a large amount of abilities. Although maybe there are ergonomic joypads on the market? I really am unsure.

Wow this post ended up much longer than I intended.

That's an ergonomic mouse from anker! :)

Which model is that? I used to have a similar set up when I was having issues with rsi. Having the scroll wheel on your left hand is a God send! I use one of these now for my mouse. Dirt cheap and no chronic wrist pain! https://www.amazon.co.uk/Anker®-Ergonomic-Optical-Vertical-Buttons/dp/B009D9CZ5C/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?keywords=anker+vertical+mouse&qid=1568235468&s=gateway&sprefix=anker+vert&sr=8-4

I still use a cheap vertical mouse (https://www.amazon.ca/Anker%C2%AE-Vertical-Ergonomic-Optical-Buttons/dp/B009D9CZ5C/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1539390910&sr=8-4&keywords=vertical+mouse)

Happened to buy it once out of curiosity when my old mouse broke and ended up liking it too much to think about going into the deep end of mouses. Maybe I'll get the wireless version one day.

Eccomi qua! Mouse verticale dal 2014. Ti consiglio di provare il mouse verticale della anker, costa 15€ (evita il wireless) giusto per vedere se ti piace. È fatto bene, il mio è durato più di 4 anni. Poi la Logitech ne ha fatto uno molto bello, ma sta 100€, e la trust ne ha fatto uno da gaming.

> l'hai trovato online oppure dai negozi

Nella mia esperienza solo online :-/

Quella volta ero su amazon, e c'era un'offerta della anker (mi sembra di ricordare che ho preso anche un battery pack insieme, all'epoca)... Quando si è rotto e ho dovuto ricomprarlo (6 mesi fa, ho dato un clic incazzoso ricolmo di frustrazione e ho rotto la molla interna del tasto "sinistro") son andato di nuovo su Amazon a colpo sicuro.

Comunque, volendo, l'ho trovato a buon prezzo su amazon.de

Even cheaper!

Seconding the vertical mouse. I got this one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Anker-Vertical-Ergonomic-Optical-VerticalMouse-x/dp/B009D9CZ5C


Upside is that the pain in my wrist is gone.


Downside is that the middle mouse wheel click is quite firm, so unlike a normal mouse, when you click (or double-click) it can move the mouse, causing a miss-click. Still worth getting used to it for the reduced pain.

It's a cylinder of hard foam. You lay on it and roll around. If it doesn't help, it feels amazing on your upper back; especially if you sit all day.

If you're already exercising, I would go see a professional. They can better recommend exercises and stretches specific to your needs.

This is the mouse I use by the way:

It looks stupid but it cleared up my problems instantly and it tracks well enough that I can keep up in this game and other shooters and RTS games just fine. The only problem is that the thumb buttons are difficult to press without interrupting your regular grip so I use one only for placing a marker/pinging only. I believe Logitech makes a better mouse that has a similar shape to this.
