- A logitech MX vertical mouse. I rarely have carpal tunnel issues using it all day. I wish it was a bit more responsive and I'd use it for gaming because it's so comfortable

- A decent backpack with space for a) a whole set of USB cords b) a small hand tools kit and c) a small cutlery set. Having dedicated cords and tools for just my backpack is nice, and a nice cutlery set is good for meetings and out in the field when I don't want to waste single-use plastic.

I damaged my elbow (lateral epicondylitis) and found the MX vertical was much more comfortable and less pain inducing.

Pressing the scroll wheel button is a little stiffer than my previous mouses, but you adapt quick enough. I find the middle finger lifts off and behind the index finger to give a little extra help.

Is the scroll wheel on your MX vertical working as expected for you? I find it really hard to press.
I've never had a problem. Mine's 4 years old, though, so maybe they changed in the past few years.
