Anker 2.4G Wireless Vertical Ergonomic Optical Mouse For Work, Multi-Device Connectivity, 800 / 1200 /1600 DPI, 5 Buttons for Laptop, Desktop, PC - BlackECOLOGO

The Anker 2.4G Wireless Vertical Ergonomic Optical Mouse has been a game-changer for me. Since my job requires constant computer and mouse use, I developed wrist pain and started searching for an ergonomic solution. This mouse provides the perfect balance of comfort and support, allowing my wrist to stay in a relaxed, natural position.From the moment I started using it, I noticed a significant difference—my wrist pain has greatly improved, and working long hours feels much easier. The design is intuitive and comfortable, making it a great choice for anyone dealing with discomfort from traditional mice.I highly recommend this product to anyone looking for an ergonomic alternative. It’s well worth the investment for better wrist health and overall comfort!

I liked the design and it did helped me for my wrist. I have been using this mouse daily for office work and started to notice improvement in my wrist pain. I have corpus tunnel syndrome this mouse is for people who are looking for wrist support. Additionally something was not functioning well and the customer service was exceptional to send me the replacement product.Good customer service is the reason I gave 5 star rating!

This mouse is ALMOST perfect. It's not a complete replacement for the Logitech one I had, but it's working in the meantime.The one thing I do find a bit odd is the clicking responsiveness. It is a bit difficult to get it to double-click at times, but that just might be my hand issues more than anything.Otherwise, the mouse is great!

What a fantastic product! I started looking into the world of vertical mice after experiencing some wrist discomfort from the use of a traditional mouse. Of course, the first search hit was Evoluent Vertical Mouse. They were the first to market with a product like this, plus they have the whole University of California academic cachet behind them. For YEARS Evoluent was the ONLY player on the vertical mouse market without competition. As a result, the technology and finish of their product is still stuck in the past. Think those ugly white Microsoft optical mice we all used in the late 90s when optical mice were a novelty. The Evoluent mice have the exact same feel, and even worse tracking capability! In Evoluent's defense, their product does relieve wrist strain, but so does Anker vertical mouse...... for only $20!So let's compare the two products side by side, Evoluent vs Anker. Note that I am just over 7 inches from my wrist crease to the tip of my middle finger. This puts me right on the border for Evoluent between normal and small versions. If you are in the same boat, go the smaller size with Evoluent, provided you don't opt for the Anker.1. SizeEvoluent (standard size) felt a bit too big for my hands. The cheap plastic is also very slippery, making it difficult to pick up the mouse and move it if you are at the edge of the mouse pad (and you do need a mouse pad with Evoluent). Anker fits my hand perfectly. I simply LOVE holding the mouse. It has a really nice rubbery matte finish that prevents your hand from slipping.2. Hand PositionBoth Anker and Evoluent offer the handshake position. I would say that Evoluent hand position is about 80 degrees between table top and your wrist. For comparison, regular mouse would have your wrist at 0 degrees. Anker holds your wrist at about 65 degrees. It is debatable whether 80 or 65 degrees is better. With both mice I felt immediate relief of wrist tension. Going back to 0 degree traditional mouse position feels immediately awkward. It is a toss up between the Anker and Evoluent with a slight edge given to Evoluent, just because they have a bit of science in their product marketing.3. UsabilityThis is personal, but for me Anker wins hands down in this category. Anker feels intuitive right out the box. You click with left finger and right click with the right. The back/forward thumb buttons were also very intuitive for me. This is similar to most Logitech mice. Mouse buttons on Anker have nice rigidity to them. Evoluent, on the other hand, takes some getting used to. It is a big clunky thing that slips out of your hand. Left finger does the left click. But it is, by default, you pinkie and ring-finger that do the right clicking. You can also reassign right click to the middle mouse button, but somehow it feels awkward and you keep pressing the default right click button anyway. Also, it is EXTREMELY easy to accidentally click on Evoluent. Buttons are cheap and plastic, and the scroll wheel is a complete joke. Granted, Anker's mouse wheel is not stellar, but it works well. I must have the newer batch, as I cannot relate to any of the scroll wheel problems mentioned in review. Don't forget Evoluent's back/forward mouse buttons. They are awkward to use at first, but you get accustomed to the arrangement. Matter of preference here.4. TrackingEvoluent tracking is ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE. I have a black Ikea Galant desk. It's not shiny, just wood with black matte veneer. Everything tracks on it....... except the Evoluent mouse. So you HAVE to get a mouse pad. And be careful, you won't get tracking on every mouse pad, even if it is matte black. This is on a $100+ mouse!!! On the other end of the spectrum, Anker tracks on everything except glass. This is a $20 mouse.In summary, there is not much to chose from in the vertical mouse arena. So get the Anker vertical mouse, get rid of wrist strain... and save Evoluent for the fanboys.

Nice mouse, but uses too much batteryAnker 2.4G Wireless Vertical Ergonomic Optical MouseI liked this mouse, until the AAA fresh batteries I put in it less than 2 months ago when I first got it just died.What I like:Other than the terrible battery life, it's mostly a nice mouse, for the price. I got it on a lightning deal for $15, 2 months ago. I had been wanting to try this style of mouse for a while, and landed on this one. It took a little bit of getting used to, but that was mostly learning which surfaces it tracks best on. (I use my computer from my bed, so the mouse is frequently used on fabric. And every fabric tracks differently with the mouse) I was coming from a Logitech Marathon wireless mouse. And they both track differently on different materials. Though my Marathon mouse is 5 or 6 years old, so it doesn't work as well as it used to. This Anker mouse is lighter than the Logitech mouse, but some of that could be down to AA batteries vs AAA batteries. The lighter weight probably helps with fatigue, just a bit. But it depends on how you use your mouse, and what weight you prefer.This style does seem to help with hand and wrist fatigue from using a mouse. I'm noticing more wrist pain now, while using my old mouse as a backup, than I realized I would. With the Anker mouse, I didn't really notice the lack of pain as much, so I didn't realize just how much of a difference it made till switching back. (out of fresh batteries, and the current set just died)What I don't like:The scroll wheel. On the Marathon mouse, it has a free spinning scroll wheel, which makes scrolling a breeze. (none of those nasty finger cramps from scrolling for days) This Anker mouse has the traditional style. But also, for side to side scrolling, it will only scroll to the right. There is no movement to the left. So I tend to do a lot of clicking the scroll (for the on screen scroll control) wheel to scroll through pages, though that isn't available for everything.And the afore mentioned battery life. I don't understand why it sucks down the battery power so quickly. The AAA fresh batteries I put in it less than 2 months ago, when I first got it, just died. At this rate, this is going to be an expensive, and quite wasteful, mouse, using a dozen batteries each year. (if I were to buy rechargeable batteries, it would cost me around $30 for batteries and a charger) And the need for multiple batteries increases the chance you will have a dead mouse and no batteries. (I'm out of fresh batteries right now, so had to go back to my old mouse just to use my computer today)The range also isn't as good as my old Marathon mouse. I've had issues with the signals reaching the computer from just a couple fee away when part of my vintage wood desk was in between. I'm not sure if it was just the wood that was the problem, or something else. But just beware if you plan on using this if your computer (or a USB hub) isn't right there on top of the desk. (My marathon mouse I've never had a problem with. It will reach from the next room, farther than you can see, really.)So, would I buy this again... Probably not. But if you are looking for a cheap vertical mouse, it might be a good fit. Just don't expect it to be great... And stock up on AAA batteries, or get rechargables.UPDATE 6/26/21Anker emailed me a day or two after my initial review. And offered to replace the mouse with either a new wireless, or the wired version of the same style. And they assured me that batteries should last longer than 2 months. Since I don’t really want to risk having to still replace a ton of batteries, they sent me a new wired mouse. Even with a couple emails back and forth, I think I still got the replacement, completely free, within a week of my review. (I just haven’t had a chance to use the new, wired one yet, because my computer got fried from a power surge during a thunderstorm a couple weeks ago. But I’m sure it will be fine.)I shouldn’t have been surprised, because I have had nothing but positive experiences with Anker customer service when I have ever had any issues with a product in the past. Anker customer service is 5 star. So if you do have an issue, they really do stand behind their products, and their warranties really do mean something! That being said, I’m still not sure how long a pair of AAA batteries is supposed to last in this mouse, so I’m not sure if I would want to buy this again. I think I just go at spoiled using a mouse that was years between battery changes...(I didn’t change my star rating, or my original review though. Despite great customer service, this is my honest assessment of my experience with the product I bought. I probably just got a lemon. But that’s how it goes.)
