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

Just got this so maybe it's new mouse smell but it's really a cool mouse! I normally use a Logitech left handed vertical mouse that costs $75-80, but have tendinitis so I'm forced to use a right hand mouse a bit. So my first impression, Anker has chosen a good product to put their stamp on. It's a great price at $30 and apparently (from other review) goes on sale as low as $15. Everyone should be using these vertical mice, they are so much better for your posture and tendons in your arm and hand. My mouse connected immediately even with me connecting the receiver/USB dongle to my KVM switch. So why is this mouse so cheap? First it doesn't have Bluetooth. I believe the more expensive vertical mice like my Logitech lefty mouse have a dongle but also work on Bluetooth, avoiding the need to use a USB slot if you don't have an extra. Also there's no app for this mouse to let me reconfigure the buttons to do different things. Having said that, there's also not the extra buttons I'd want to program, like a more expensive mouse would have. If you want these features you need the Logitech Lift, but it's 2-4x the price of this mouse, so if you have that kind of money, maybe get the Logitech. My final thing I'll say about this mouse and the most important: if you have small hands stay away from this mouse, I have rather large hands and can barely reach the buttons and scrollwheel. It's comfortable, but just barely.

*** UPDATED REVIEW *** ANKER customer support reached out directly to me after my negative review to rectify the situation and to get a better understanding of the problem. I explained and their support staff was very helpful and apologized for the issues that I was experiencing. They informed me that it was not normal behavior for this product and since it was still within its original manufacturer warranty period (18 months from date of purchase for mice at the time of this review) that ANKER would gladly send me a replacement. I received it after just a few days (May 6, 2023) and tested it out. It works like a charm and exactly as expected. The scroll wheel is functioning very smoothly when I scroll through long documents. (I cannot stress how annoying it was when trying to scroll through website code and the previous malfunctioning mouse was jumping around so erratically when scrolling!) Something else that I noticed when comparing my previous mouse to this one is that the scroll wheel is completely SILENT when I scroll. The other one, however, makes a noticeable "clicking" noise as the wheel rotates. I don't recall if it made that noise whenever I first received it (or if it progressed over time), but there's a definite difference between the two devices. If the previous mouse made that sound originally, I probably just assumed that it was designed that way to provide some sort of audible feedback to the person using it. But the new mouse is completely silent when scrolling. So, I'm mentioning this in case it is an indication of a fault or failing with similar devices. After the fantastic support from ANKER, I have updated this review and I am once again a happy customer! Thank you! **** ORIGINAL REVIEW *** I've always found Anker products to be great quality and a good value. I felt this way when I initially purchased this mouse less than a year ago and everything seemed good when I first started using it. It's a very similar design and feel to a previous model that I had by another manufacturer, and so I was quite happy with it and expected it to last just as long — if not longer — than its predecessor. However, I noticed that after a few months it seems that it has been draining batteries excessively. Even more annoyingly, the middle button mouse wheel has become increasingly erratic. It worked as expected at first, but now the scroll wheel is virtually unusable because it keeps jumping and glitching any document or web page that I'm viewing when trying to scroll. I keep a clean desktop and all of my peripherals, and it does not appear to be due to any dirt causing the malfunction, at least from what I could tell on a quick surface inspection. I'm hesitant to attempt opening the whole thing up and trying to clean it that way (even though that doesn't appear to be the problem), as it seems more like it's a problem with the device itself (the glitchiness and excessive battery drain).

I have owned two of these and they have saved my wrists, which start to hurt with a normal mouse. The price is also great given that many ergonomic mouse's out there go for a lot more. The first one I had lasted me over 3 years. This 2nd one just went out shortly after 2 years. When it was working, the functionality was great: - Battery life was not as great as my first one (I had to change batteries more often) - Connectivity was good - Over the last few months it was glitchy when I would click into my excel cells, sending me to the wrong place - Not a durable as the last versions in 2020. Overall still a good mouse if you are looking for ergonomic options. Most last 1-3 years, this one seems not as good as the 1st one I owned. I will be trying out a more expensive model this time to see if I can get a better shelf life.

I had never heard of ergonomic mice before and for years I had quite happily used a 'normal' mouse for computer work. Until I had an injury to my dominant arm and using a normal mouse was just so painful. The ergonomic mouse was a game changer. So I continue using these mice even though my arm is better. How you hold the mouse ergonomic is so natural and comfortable to use. A few weeks ago I bought the same mouse but wired. The wired mouse is brilliant but the wire kept getting in my way. Now I have got the wireless one. Identical to the wired one. Easy to use and go back pages. I love it. It comes with a USB for the computer and requires 2 AAA batteries for the mouse. Once the batteries are in it is ready to go. There is no need to go to settings to set it up.It works straight away. However, I have returned it. There was nothing wrong with the mouse apart from the red light not coming on when I was using it. It is hard to explain.The wired mouse's stripe lights up red when you use it, which I liked. I could see the computer was on and ready to go. However the wireless mouse same model just wireless the light strip does not light up at all. So it looks like a dead mouse. I have got used to seeing the red light on the other model. So, I don't know if it is a fault or just how its designed. I SENT THE WIRELESS MOUSE BACK AND GOT ANOTHER THE SAME. tHE SAME THING THE STRIP DOES NOT SHINE WITH ALIGHT LIKE THE WIRED ANKER. i CONTACTED ANKER AND THEY SAID THE WIRELESS MOUSE DOES NOT LIGHT UP. I like anker but I also like a wireless mouse with lights so I sent this back again.

Me gusta mucho este mouse, tengo varios años usándolo y este es el tercero que compro

مريح لليد جدا عن الماوس التقليدي

Total game changer. I had been suffering wrist pain and tingling in my fingers from using a standard mouse so my chiro recommended this type of mouse. It took about a week for my muscles to adjust properly but I’m now enjoying pain free computer use. Very comfortable and great quality.

I have bigger than average hands for a female and I find this mouse to be comfortable. It may be a little bulky for small hands. The DPI-button works well so you can adapt to different speeds and I like that it has a receiver so that I don't have to rely on my old laptop's Bluetooth, which is a little unstable.
