Ergonomic Benefits Backed by 30+ Years of Expertise

Ask Ergo Works has been helping professionals prevent and recover from repetitive strain injuries since the 1990s. The Rockstick 2 addresses two critical ergonomic challenges: wrist pronation (twisting) and repetitive finger clicking. By holding your hand in a vertical handshake position and using a rocking motion instead of finger clicks, this mouse significantly reduces strain on tendons, muscles, and joints.

Key ergonomic advantages:

• Neutral handshake position reduces forearm pronation by up to 90°
• Rocking click mechanism distributes force across entire hand instead of individual fingers
• Ambidextrous capability enables hand alternation to prevent overuse injuries
• Vertical orientation reduces ulnar deviation (sideways wrist bending)
• Comfortable grip reduces grip force and muscle tension
• Helps prevent and alleviate carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, and RSI symptoms

How the Rocking Click Works

Unlike traditional mice that require repetitive finger clicking (which can strain tendons and cause trigger finger), the Rockstick 2 uses an innovative rocking mechanism:

1. Cradle the mouse: Rest your hand naturally on the vertical surface in a handshake position
2. Rock to click: Gently tilt your entire hand to the left for a left click, or to the right for a right click
3. Distribute the force: The clicking motion engages your entire hand and forearm, not just your fingers
4. Reduce strain: This natural rocking motion significantly reduces repetitive stress on finger tendons

The result? Less finger fatigue, reduced tendon inflammation, and more comfortable all-day computing.

Ambidextrous Design: Switch Hands, Reduce Strain

One of the most powerful ergonomic strategies is hand alternation—switching between your right and left hand throughout the day. The Rockstick 2's symmetrical design makes this easy:

• Use your dominant hand for precision tasks
• Switch to your non-dominant hand for general browsing and email
• Alternate every hour or when you feel fatigue
• Reduce overuse of one hand by distributing workload
• Prevent repetitive strain injuries before they start

Research shows that hand alternation can reduce RSI risk by up to 50% compared to single-hand mouse use.

Adjustable DPI for Every Task

The Rockstick 2 offers four DPI (dots per inch) settings to match your work style and screen setup:

• 400 DPI: Maximum precision for detailed design work, photo editing, and CAD
• 800 DPI: Balanced control for general office work and document editing
• 1400 DPI: Faster cursor movement for large monitors and multi-screen setups
• 2000 DPI: Quick navigation for gaming, video editing, and high-resolution displays

Simply press the DPI button to cycle through settings and find your perfect balance of speed and control.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this help my carpal tunnel syndrome or wrist pain?
Many users report significant relief from wrist and forearm pain when switching to a vertical mouse. The handshake position reduces pronation stress, and the rocking click eliminates repetitive finger strain. However, consult your healthcare provider for personalized medical advice.

Is it difficult to learn the rocking click mechanism?
Most users adapt within 1-2 days. The rocking motion feels natural and intuitive—like a gentle handshake. Start with simple tasks like browsing, then progress to more detailed work as you build muscle memory.

Can I really use this with both hands?
Yes! The symmetrical design works equally well for right or left hand. Many users keep it on the right side for precision work and switch to the left for general tasks, effectively doubling their ergonomic benefit.

What size hands does this fit?
The medium size fits most adult hands (small to large). The vertical design is more forgiving than traditional mice because your hand rests naturally rather than gripping tightly.

Does it work on Mac computers?
Absolutely! The Rockstick 2 is plug-and-play compatible with Mac OS 9 and later, including all modern macOS versions. No drivers or software installation required.

How long do the batteries last?
Battery life varies based on usage, but most users get 3-6 months of regular use before needing replacement. The mouse includes batteries to get you started.

Can I use this for gaming?
While primarily designed for ergonomic office work, the adjustable DPI (up to 2000) makes it suitable for casual gaming. Competitive gamers may prefer specialized gaming mice.

Is there a learning curve?
Yes, but it's brief. Expect 1-3 days to feel comfortable with the vertical orientation and rocking click. Most users report it's worth the short adjustment period for the long-term pain relief.
