Vertical mice. I had occasional wrist pain from using a computer, which was annoying since then I'd had to take a break from the computer for about a day to recover. Got a vertical mouse and haven't had any issues since. Took maybe a day to get used to it too.

I resorted to using my left hand to control the mouse at work, then revert to my right hand at home

I have been a left hand mouser at work for probably 15-20 years.

An early data entry job made my right wrist prone to soreness from mouse use. I am very much right handed, but left hand mousing 90% of the time feels totally natural now. If I’m at going using the mouse on the right, it’s usually for photo editing or PC games.
