Title. Been using “conventional mouses” since a while, and I’m in the mood to try something new. Even so considering its a ergonomic mouse that won’t screw my wrists even more while gaming(I’m over 40 y/o).

There are plenty of reviews for it on the internet (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_2wixvrWPg&pp=ygUVcmFnbm9rIG1vdXNlIDIgcmV2aWV3 for instance) but I’d like to hear some “real world” reviews about it.

    Lmao someone in the comments said they were sold a used one (at brand new price) straight from the manufacturer.

    Then someone replied to them saying basically, “that’s on you from ordering from the manufacturer instead of a trusted store like Amazon. I had no problems with them.”

    There is zero point to that beyond the looks. You can get mice with better ergonomics. maybe if it had some ability to be used like a gun in fps games, it would make sense. But as just another mouse? It isn’t even a good gimmick.

    Eh, I’d personally just get a more ergonomic vertical mouse, wired if you need the absolute lowest latency. Much easier to come by and they’re cheap. I used an evoluent I think it was wireless mouse for DotA2 when I played it ranked years ago, and I found it more than capable to climb the ranks with it. I also have a Logitech gaming mouse, for comparison.

    Some vertical mice can easily be found on Amazon or anywhere really. Logitech makes one (it’s okay) and a few others as well.

    Conversely, if just looking for more ergonomics, you could try a hyperlight mouse with a good gliding wrist wrest.

    That looks awful.

    If you want an actual egro vertical mouse, don’t buy a gimmick. I’ve got both wired and wireless zelotes vertical mice from Amazon, would recommend.

    Lol. It does look great for carpal tunnel/RSI. I’d definitely buy it if it didn’t have such a 'murica gamer kiddo vibe.
