First impression of a vertical mouse! Updated 4/15/2018

I have to say that this is my first impression after opening the J-Tech Digital V628 (Gen 2) vertical mouse. I switched from Anker Ergonomic Mouse which wasn't bad. Although I have to say that this mouse is definitely an improvement and an upgrade. It is better designed and ergonomically more comfortable. I think my home/school desktop comes with this mouse. I'm very happy with my first impressions and will follow J-Tech's further developments for my vertical mouse. Great experience so far! Over time I will write and update the review, but so far I am satisfied. Update after a day of use (March 21, 2018): I will say that this mouse will require some use. j. Sometimes it seems closer to a joystick than a mouse. It is very comfortable for my hands, which are between medium and large hands. I can see that this mouse might pose a problem for someone with very small or very large hands. This was mentioned in another review here on Revain, but the mouse's accuracy is hard to get used to. I understand that, but it's not something that's going to happen overnight. A few other reviewers mentioned that the mouse lacks precision, leading me to suspect that the optics on the mouse itself might be of lower quality. It is not true. I believe the point is that you have to move your hand differently to get the exact movement you intend. So, to put it mildly, there is a learning curve. But overall I was left with the impression that this is a high quality product that offers great value for its price. The next vertical mouse I'm considering will cost more than double this one. In addition, the LED backlight feels very pleasant. I have to say that this Gen 2 version is much more attractive than the previous generation. Honestly, this mouse looks like a work of art on my desk. Very unique appearance and very smooth contours, attractive in modern style. Another thing to watch out for is the forward/back buttons next to the thumb rest. They're placed so that they're very easy to trigger with the mouse, but I've found that these buttons are easy to accidentally press when you're picking up the mouse to use it. This is another part of the learning curve. When browsing websites, it's very easy to use these forward/back buttons as they're lightning fast but take a bit of getting used to. I'm still happy and I hope there are no negative aspects to this mouse. with future use.Updated on 04/15/2018 After using this vertical mouse for almost a month, I can only report positive experiences: I got used to the design and my hand now holds the mouse quite naturally. It wasn't that easy on first use for the first week or so. Now I can even use the mouse without full screen. I can just use my index finger, middle and thumb to quickly move the cursor. This greatly improves its usability for causal use. When I'm fully immersed in my work at the computer, I use a full arm grip, which is really very comfortable to use. The thumb forward/forward buttons looked really cool in photos of the J-Tech mouse but are really efficient to use. When I was first introduced to the mouse, I grabbed the mouse and accidentally pressed one of the back or forward buttons. Since then it has stopped after almost a month of use. I use this mouse on the right side of an ergonomic Microsoft 4000 keyboard and a Logitech T650 touchpad on the left. I'm used to this setup and I'm glad I bought this V-Tech mouse. I feel like my setup is complete. Ultimately, I would argue that this vertical mouse has a learning curve. If you are interested in using the ergonomic design, anyone can learn how to use it within a month. But I understand a few reviews mentioning that it doesn't have anything special or that it has a chunky design. It's definitely not for the average user. But for those who have the urge to go beyond the usual obsession with their PC work, this will definitely take you to the next level.
