Review on ๐Ÿ–ฑ๏ธ KINESIS DXT2 RF Wireless Ergonomic Vertical Mouse by Seth Waldron

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Make time for the keyboard, mice and accessories.

This mouse should only be operated with the fingertips. Your fingers should be roughly in the middle of the mouse. Clicking there is easiest, and holding the mouse there offers the most mobility. At first I wasn't sure about this mouse. After the first day I thought about sending it back. Using this mouse is very different from using other mice and will take some time to get used to. My biggest problem initially was that when I clicked or scrolled, I moved the mouse because it had to apply lateral pressure. Once my hand got used to doing things a little differently, it was very satisfying. I miss the back button on my mouse. But for me it's not a game changer. The mouse is also very accurate. You can tweak the DPI, which is really great. Mine started with the highest DPI setting but ended up dropping it one notch so the mouse moves like I'm used to. A major downside to this mouse is that the scroll wheel is actually pretty bad. This is frustrating and I often just manually scroll with the cursor. This is frustrating because sometimes scrolling down triggers a scroll up event or vice versa, resulting in jerky up and down movement in the window. Update: I found charging annoying while using this mouse. The position of the charging port ensures that your keyboard permanently restricts your freedom of movement while it is connected. As other users have pointed out, the outer plastic/lacquer layer on the main body wears off after a while. I really like the quality of the main components of this mouse, they are really good and high quality. But there are too many issues with this mouse for me to wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone.

Pros
  • FINGER TIP CLAMP INCREASES PRECISION: Unlike other upright mice, the DXT 2 is held like a pen in a "precision" grip that engages the small muscles and knuckles rather than the large muscle groups of the shoulder.
Cons
  • Not everything fits
