Biomechanical diagram comparing force vectors: The Flat Mouse uses downward "Pressing Force" (blue arrow), while the Vertical Mouse requires lateral "Pinching Force" and "Compression" (red arrows) to stabilize the device.

Do Vertical Mice Reduce Carpal Tunnel Pressure? A Review of Clinical Evidence (2025)

Do Vertical Mice Reduce Carpal Tunnel Pressure?...

Dr. Sig

Marketing claims suggest vertical mice lower nerve pressure by "neutralizing" the wrist. A review of peer-reviewed literature from Applied Ergonomics and Ergonomics reveals a different reality: posture changes do not...

An actual medical X-ray of a human forearm in the same vertical mouse position, revealing that the radius and ulna bones are still crossed, labeled 'Anatomical Reality.' This visual evidence refutes the claim that vertical mice uncross forearm bones.

Dr. Sig

Marketing claims vertical mice "uncross" your bones to prevent pain. We bought some tape and fired up an X-ray machine to prove why that is anatomically impossible.

Dr. Sig

Bionic design learns from nature's functional principles. We explore how X-Bows applies this by studying the hand's evolved, radial structure. Learn how principles like "oppositional thumb function" and "radial arrangement"...

Dr. Sig

Why do keyboards still follow 19th-century design rules? We explore how modern industrial design is finally prioritizing human physiology over manufacturing convenience. Learn how X-Bows uses user research, motion capture,...
