Anker USB Wired Vertical Mouse, Ergonomic Design Mouse for Computer and Laptop, 5 Buttons, 1000/1600 DPI, Optical Technology, USB Corded - Black

This mouse is great. It’s ergonomic, so it feels good for those long sessions. Smooth overall

I started using this vertical mouse after feeling some discomfort in my arm from a traditional mouse. I work from home and within a short time, I noticed a real difference in how my arm felt during and after work. The vertical design feels more relaxed and less “twisted” during long work sessions. I genuinely wish I had switched to a vertical mouse sooner! The difference in comfort over a full workday is incredible. If you spend long hours on a computer and experience any wrist or arm discomfort this is an easy switch that can make your workday much more comfortable.

Oh where should I start off with this mouse. I bought this mouse because I noticed I've been getting pain after using my traditional mouse for extended periods of time, and it's only been worse and worse. So for $20 this mouse wasn't much for me, figured I had nothing to lose. When you first put your hand on this mouse, it feels incredible, the hand rests really well, almost like a glove. However, you may notice that for the first hour or two, you might actually feel incredibly uncomfortable, not painful but you may not like it. But once your hand gets used to it, oh man there is a night and day difference. I can't even go back to my old mouse. It's all well good but there are some caveats, you may need to get rid of some your old "mousing" habits.. For example, I didn't realize some people use three fingers when using their mouse — index finger on the left button, middle finger on the scroll wheel, and ring finger on the right button. Me, I'm a two finger kind of guy, index finger for left button and scroll wheel, and middle finger on right button. So to say the least, I wasn't very enthusiastic when I realized I would need to use three fingers for this mouse. Why, you ask? Well I don't have particularly large hands however I realized that if I used two fingers, the angle between my two fingers was so great that my pinky finger would always try to get off the mouse, and consequently it would rub off on the table even if I tried squishing my ring finger and pinky finger together on the portion where your fingers rest. So that means I have to use three fingers so that only my pinky finger is resting, it will take a lot of getting used to but oh well. Had they made the mouse a little taller this probably wouldn't have been much of a problem. Scroll wheel kinda sucks, I was used to my scroll wheel being able to move side to side and downwards, but this wheel only clicks downwards. Not a big probablem, that's what those buttons to turn the pages are for but it just feels really weird for me. Scroll also requires quite a bit of force to scroll and push down although I think it just needs to broken into, I'm sure it'll have less friction with time. While the computer is shut off, the glowing red light on the side stays on, I keep my computer in my bedroom but thankfully it hides under my desk, anyone buying this mouse should know that, unless you unplug the computer or mouse. Then there's the issue of heat transfer. Now my old mouse didn't fit in my hand like a glove, so I was only coming into contact with it with my finger tips and two contact points off the palm of my hand, so there was always air moving through. With this one though, since you're making 100% contact, it's as if you were holding another hand so a lot heat gets transferred to the mouse but it doesn't go away easily resulting in a sweaty hand, especially when you're grabbing it for extended periods of time. To me it's not much of an issue, just remove your hands for a few seconds every now and then and swipe it on your shirt or something, a small annoyance but not much. That is about all for this mouse, it's great, and I think it's miles better than a traditional mouse but it does have its caveats.

Outstanding ergonomic mouse! I use a KVM so I needed a corded mouse - works great, looks sharp - very comfortable to use for long periods of time.

I originally bought this for a few reasons. 1. My wrist pain was coming back, again, with the use of the traditional mouse. 2. At the time, the mouse I was using was a Death Adder 2013. It was getting old. In addition, while the app for the Death Adder was good, there were a few of times where I had to either reinstall on the PC, and eventually, I had to drop back a revision on both my Mac and PC. This made it pain to switch back and forth from PC to Mac. Quite simply put, the company, Razer, shot itself in the foot with one of the updates, and the mouse could no longer function on either machine, even with the firmware update. 3. While I found the concept of the Vertical Mouse an interesting prospect, I didn’t want to spend a ton of money on something that I wasn’t sure would actually help. With that said; I originally bought this mouse back in September of 2018 and, I’m surprised to say, it has worked for me. I never needed to use the wrist brace that I bought at the same time. I’m using this mouse daily and I’m content with the product. So, because of the price point, I later came back and bought a second one, just to have as a back up. But, the first one is still working, while second is still in the box. It’s now May of 2019. Now, I’m not a big gamer, at all. In fact, I’m not suffering just because of gaming, but really, from years of fatigue using a traditional mouse. However, I can say that extreme gamers will probably not find this mouse to be the best in serving their extreme gaming needs. But, hey, if you’re suffering, well, it works and personally, I’d rather have the longevity of being able to still use a mouse rather than barely using one while having to wear brace which really impairs one’s movement. So, can it be used for games? Yes, I do. The reality is, after my version of a real world testing, I think this method of holding a mouse is actually better and it didn’t take me long to adapt to the change. I think hardcore gamers, or even hardcore computer users, in general, might find this to be adequate at relieving their wrist pain. Because, it’s working for me. Which means, if this company steps up to making higher resolution mice, I might want one. Or, if companies would stick to making this approach more affordable in gaming mice, I would be interested. Either way, this product is priced well, and the methodology helped relieve my wrist pain. Obviously, not everyone can benefit from new designs, but it’s working for me. The one fall back is that the scroll-click is awkward, and if you use a lot of scroll-clicking, it might frustrate you. But, the two side buttons are well placed, right next to your thumb. Also, this is a wired mouse. I like wired mice, because, I hate having to replace batteries. I especially hate it when I’m in the zone of doing something and then the battery starts to die. lol Either way, from what I remember, they do have a wireless version of this mouse. They’re just not for me, I just hate wireless mice. Note that if you’re multi-platform user, there are no drivers. Just plug and go. I switch back and forth on my A/B switcher for Mac OSX [Yosemite] and PC [WinX Pro 64]. It just works. Woot!

Sie funktioniert gut. Am Anfang dauerte es ein paar Stunden, bis ich genau so zielsicher wie mit einer alte Logitech war. Auch passierte es öfter, beim Wechsel von der Tastatur zur Maus, dass ich die Maus umwarf, da die Unterkante der Hand an der oberen Spitze streifte. Die Oberfläche ist überall gummiert, fühlt sich gut an. Die Tasten haben einen leichten Klick-Druckpunkt, das Rädchen bewegt sich leicht genug mit leichtem Einrasten. Das Kabel ist mir einen Tick zu (dick und zu) störrisch. Ich benutzte sie bisher nur auf einem Mauspad mit blauer Stoff-Oberfläche. Wenn sie kaputt ginge, würde ich sie aber glatt noch mal kaufen. Verbesserungsvorschlag: an der rechten Seite unten findet der kleine Finger/kaum Halt, dort sollte auch eine Vertiefung hin, so wie die Große Delle an der linken Seite für den Daumen. Die Maus rutscht beim abheben/versetzen bei mir zu leicht nach unten durch. Für meine Handschuhgröße 8,5-9 könnte die Maus einen cm flacher/kleiner sein. Auch werde ich sie mal öffnen um zu schauen warum sie nicht leichter ist, ab da Gewichte drin sind. Oder nur das Gehäuse ist dick, sie wirkt stabil und knarzt nicht. Hätte ich eine Mausfabrik, würde ich versuchen für die rechte Seite eine Heizung einzubauen.

I like it, it's so comforting

The mouse gets a lot of use; I have to say it is quite comfortable once you get over the initial weird-ness of having the mouse this shape; I can deal with many more hours of computing before my hands feel stiff.

Works great, bought it to ease the strain on my wrist and help with carpal tunnel etc, and i think it is helping. Takes maybe a day to get used to using a vertical mouse compared to the traditional mice.

Empecé a buscar alternativas a mi viejo mouse debido a que recientemente comencé a padecer síndrome del tunel del carpo. Escuché que este mouse era muy bueno en cuanto a ergonomía y pude comprobar que sí lo es. Si bien tardé un poco en acostumbrarme al modo vertical, he notado mejoría en mi salud (junto a un buen teclado, por supuesto) . Algo que particularmente me encantó es el botón para cambiar la velocidad del puntero, requiriendo el mínimo esfuerzo para mover el mismo, esto es muy útil, especialmente si cuentas con 2 monitores o más.
