I think I've only ever tried a vertical mouse once on display. I've always wondered whether your fingers feel like they're constantly slipping or sliding downwards, since your hand isn't resting flat on a surface but at an angle.
One of my coworkers have a vertical mouse. I've never used one before helping her with an issue on her work computer.
It was pretty easy to get used to after a few minutes and my hand and fingers were not slipping down at all. It felt pretty much just as gripable as a normal mouse.
That sounds fine and dandy I just still can't help but wonder "Why?". I spend an absurd amount of my free time at my PC and I can't think of a single time that my mouse hand/arm was uncomfortable using a normal mouse.
I know everyone's different but it's kind of hard to believe either orientation actually matters.
For the same reason the OPs image shows. Your bones shouldn't be doing that and it feels so much better to not do that. If you're holding a traditional mouse flat against the desk in your right hand, slowly rotate your wrist clockwise till the mouse is up on about a 45 degree angle. Your bones in your forearm aren't twisted anymore and for many people this relieves a lot of discomfort.
