Some drawbacks include the lack of a rechargeable battery; this mouse requires a separate, dedicated AA battery.

Overall, the quality and design provide excellent value and comfort at an attainable price point for most buyers.

However, if you’re after a unique design and handsome aesthetic, this mouse is worth a look.

The design is unique, with a folded, swirled shape that presented a natural fit during testing.

The angle was perfect for keeping the wrist comfortably even and fingers aligned just right for mouse clicks.

However, the mouse clicks felt a little clunky and cheap compared with more expensive models.

And the slightly higher 58-degree angle also feels like it might be too high for some users.

We tracked how the ergonomic benefits of these mice improved daily wrist fatigue.

Using a vertical mouse can also help alleviate the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome and tendonitis.

Yes, you might game with a vertical mouse, just like you might game with a trackball.

It could even improve your play if you have wrist pain from using a traditional mouse.
