I work from home and have my hand on a mouse a lot of the time. I found that after using a standard mouse for extended periods of time, my wrist would hurt due to the unnatural wrist angle. This vertical mouse is perfect to alleviate that pain. After a week of use, I no longer had any pain in my wrist. The size is also perfect for me, and it’s nice to be able to change the DPI setting based on your preference. Sadly after eight months, which is two months after the warranty ended, the batter on my mouse died and it would no longer charge. The battery lasts a really long time, and I only charged the mouse a few times, but when I did I would plug it into a wall charger. This is apparently not how you’re supposed to charge it, si improbably overloaded it. This stipulation is clearly stated in the product documentation which I clearly ignored. I decided to take a chance and reach out to customer support despite the warrant period already being over. I explained the situation and without hesitation they offered to send me a replacement mouse to rectify the situation. Wow, now that’s what I call caring about the customer. For the the reasons outlined above, I highly recommend this ergonomic mouse to anyone looking to prevent wrist pain, while knowing that the manufacturer will have your back if something goes awry.

I had a slimmer, Bluetooth version from this company. This model is far superior. Vertical is also the way to go, you won't go back Ergonomics - super comfortable. Personally could have fingers from mid-knuckle-to-tip lifted more, but the shape for a hand size L at this quality is 5 star Responsiveness - works perfectly, adjustable DPI on bottom. Bluetooth model I had degraded with responsive-sputtering substantially over a short time. Wired is the way to go. 5 star Quality - for the $40 w/shipping, I'd say I got my money's worth. Feels more durable than anticipated. 5 star *Only complaint is that the wire could be a foot longer that'd be excellent I use this for gaming. I had carpal tunnel surgery and have neuropathy/trigger finger. Buttons don't get pressed accidentally as often because of their larger profile, and I can use 2 fingers per L/R button Read more
My mouse died so I had to look for a new one. IT has been ages since I shopped for a mouse and this new ergonomic style looked to have some advantages over traditional mice. So lets get into it. I work on a computer all day 8-16 hours a day depending upon demand. I do not game much. I have been having trouble with Tennis elbow over the last couple months, no idea why as work habits an life have not altered. I thought the ergonomic mouse might help because of the change in wrist/hand angle. I only got it an hour ago so I have no info on whether it will actually help that but it is comfortable. Now for the details. My hand is 7.5" long. Using a more snug, not tight, grip with my palm resting firmly on the body of the mouse, my ring finger extends about 0.25" beyond the LED line around the body while my thumb has 0.375" extra space beyond the end. I like the thumb button placement being 1 above and 1 below. That allows for slight movement to activate the buttons. The main button placement is good. I have medium width fingers and can operate the buttons with either index and second finger or index and ring finger depending upon how I rest my palm in the grip space. The roller button is responsive and works well with a slight detent feel as it rolls. However, it is a bit of a miss in terms of ergonomics. It is too close to the palm to use the middle finger on the roller when gripping the mouse closer. I have to either clench raise my hand slightly off or to the rear of the mouse or clench my middle finger to get to it. Neither of those is ergonomic. Rotating the body of the mouse and thus adjusting the relative positioning in the hand, allows using the first two fingers for the button and more efficient use of the index finger to use the roller. (It would be really nice to have that roller father forward away from the wrist allowing better usability for the middle finger. Then I could engage all three fingers simultaneously... While the ergonomic shape is nice for releasing tension in the forearm, the one thing that is very different is the movement to and from the keyboard. on a traditional mouse the user barely needs to raise the wrist to move across the mouse to type. the forearm can stay on he desktop. The significantly increased height makes a much larger gross motor movement to get to and from the keyboard. I am not sure I like that. It is a very different movement so it will take come time to get used to. The DPI selection is very nice allowing the users who want faster movement and more sensitivity to get it. The instructions indicate that it will go up to 12800 and the cursor zooms. While the mouse works out of the box, some of the features require the driver to be downloaded from their site and installed. Installation requires admin level access. Read more
I've got 2 of these because they're so comfortable and easy to use. I have rather advanced carpal tunnel after being on computers for 30 years and this mouse style completely nullified it. No shooting pains and no numbness. Read more
Great, comfortable, ergonomic mouse I've been using for years! The buttons are nice and responsive, it's durable, scrolls quick, and is a joy to use! Bonus points for flashy lights. From someone who suffers from chronic wrist/hand pain, it's been a really big help for when I use my home PC. Read more
I loved the fact that it is the same as its wired sibling. The battery life is amazing so the ergonomic angle to which you use. I had both the wired and wireless versions. The only down sides I felt after using it for over an year 1. I had few instances when there was a little lag or missed clicks. 2. My biggest complaint is the scroll wheel. It spoiled after few months of use. I wish they add a better wheel sensor like the one in the wired version. I don't know if that is a quality control issue or that unit I have that had an issue. But when you scroll up it goes down and and sometimes up and down very irritating and annoying. I also don't know if I really can do anything about it now. Read more
