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

This mouse has been a tremendous help for me. I didn't know such "ergonomic mice" existed, but recently my tennis elbow got so bad that I couldn't work and I had to find some alternative to a traditional mouse. I quickly found the Evoluent mouse, but since it costs to $100 and I had never tried an ergo mouse, I was unwilling to spend that much on an experiment. Then I found the Anker Vertical Mouse. It's not quite as vertical as the Evoluent, which I thought might an issue for me, but it was cheap enough that I thought I'd give it a try. i figured if it helped at all, I'd then give the Evoluent a shot. Based on a few weeks of use, I don't think I'll bother with the Evoluent and instead buy more of these. The relief was almost instant. I hadn't realized how uncomfortable I was with the regular mouse. The angle of the palm on the Anker mouse is enough to provide relief from the pain, and yet still "flat" enough that you don't have to learn to use the mouse. To make the cursor move left, you just move your hand to the left - just like a traditional mouse. I think the more-vertical Evoluent mouse might be better for my wrist, but then "left" becomes completely "toward your palm" which won't feel as natural. I have been using high-end Logitech mice for years. The Anker mouse feels very similar. The foward/back buttons under the thumb are right where they should be and work just like the Logitech. The scroll wheel feels just about like the Logitech as well. The button clicks feel "appropriate". I suppose the mouse feels a little cheaper than the high-end Logitech mice, but who cares? If I have any complaints, they are trivial. The mouse is maybe 3.5 inches tall. I keep knocking it off the desk as I shuffle papers or reach for the phone. Not really any fault of the mouse, but I do it often enough that I thought I should mention it. Also, the mouse itself goes to sleep after some time without use. I am used to waking up my PC by moving the mouse - this doesn't work. I now have to click a mouse button to wake up the mouse itself, then it will wake up Windows. A silly change in habits, but one I have yet to learn. I have big hands, and I wouldn't mind if it was a little bit bigger, but it's perfectly fine with me as is.

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. Size Evoluent (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 Position Both 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. Usability This 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. Tracking Evoluent 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.

souris parfaite. Cela fait maintenant 10 ans que j’utilise des souris ergonomiques. Elle réponds à mes attentes.

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

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.
