Revainrating 5 out of 5

No more wrist pain!

I've only been using this mouse for a week so I may have to update this review if I use the mouse a little longer. As an animator, I sit at my desk all the time and have been told several times that a vertical mouse is much more ergonomic than a traditional mouse. I've struggled with tendonitis for years and sometimes it got so bad it hurt to work! Every weekend I had to relax my arms and hands to recover, which not only sucks since I'm only 32, but also makes the weekend work so damn hard. Gossip aside, my wrist is no longer swollen/inflamed and I'm sitting comfortably at my computer to work on some personal stuff on this beautiful Saturday. I've tried a vertical mouse before; It was an Anker - a good mouse and affordable, but WAY big for me. I'm 5'2" tall with tiny hands and this mouse fits perfectly! It took some time to get used to - maybe a full day to get used to if you're used to a specific workflow. That is great. the presence of those extra buttons next to the thumb. you can assign specific commands to each button on this mouse AND program them to work differently depending on the program you use. This is great, I assigned some hotkeys that I use in Autodesk Max which has improved my workflow and stress relief - I have assigned the top thumb button as a middle mouse click so I no longer have to awkwardly switch viewports using the middle mouse button..generally I still can't understand why it took so long to buy the Ding waited now it's worth every penny not having your hand constantly feeling like it's falling off can put a strain on muscles and joints sten, so regular stretching AND sufficient breaks also help a lot. But this mouse has definitely improved my productivity. Absolutely worth the money. After just a week using a traditional mouse seems VERY uncomfortable haha. Yes. I'll be updating this in a few months anyway, but for now I'm 100% happy I finally made this purchase.

Pros
  • mice
Cons
  • boring packaging
