TECKNET Ergonomic Mouse, 4800DPI Wireless Vertical Mouse 6-Button Silent Mice with 5 Adjustable Levels DPI, USB Receiver, 2.4G Cordless Computer Mouse Optical Wireless Mouse for Laptop, PC, Mac

I’ve been using the TECKNET Ergonomic Wireless Vertical Mouse for a while now, and overall, I’m really pleased with it. I bought it to reduce wrist strain during long hours at the computer, and it definitely helps. The vertical design puts your hand in a more natural position, which has noticeably reduced the tension in my wrist and forearm.The mouse feels solid and comfortable to hold. The design is polished and the matte look feel very elegant and professional.Performance-wise, it works well. The DPI settings are adjustable up to 4800, which is more than enough for daily tasks, office work, and even some light design work. The buttons are responsive and quiet, which is perfect if you work in a shared space or just prefer a silent click.Setup is plug-and-play, and the USB receiver connects instantly with no need for drivers.

I’ve been using the TECKNET vertical mouse for a few weeks now, and it’s made a big difference in comfort during long work sessions. The ergonomic design feels natural and reduces wrist strain. The 4800 DPI is great for precision, and I love that it has 5 adjustable levels to suit different tasks. The buttons are quiet, which is perfect for shared spaces, and the wireless connection is stable with no lag. Setup was easy with the USB receiver, and it works well on both my laptop and desktop. A great choice for anyone looking to improve posture and reduce hand fatigue!

I bought this on a punt based on the reviews saying it was surprisingly good for the money. It is that! This gets you a really great-feeling ergo mouse. You'll probably want to install xmouse to configure it - I didn't see any custom software driver for it. Haven't really stressed it on games yet, the most I noticed was that the laser res probably needs to be higher so you don't have to move it as much - though technically ergo mice encourage arm movement in order to be ergonomic! The thumb click buttons are not suited as alternatives for left-clicking (something I look for due to a twitchy index finger). It shuts off itself an awful lot, you have to right-click to wake it quite frequently, which I think would be how the battery life stays good on it (it has a nice-sized on/off button too, though you feel you don't need it). I've found reception to be average - most micro usb receivers can't seem to make it past the interference from a screen, so you will want your receiver on the right side of your laptop. It is a very light mouse, so won't strain your wrists too much flinging it about, but that could equally be a sign that it won't last that long either being thrashed. Whilst this might not be as solid or luxurious as other mice, it gets the job done of being a budget ergo mouse enough to compete with mid-range ergos.Addendum 1.5 years later: It's still going in mostly good working order. I'm amazed actually by how clean it's managed to stay, just a little dust on the ends of the buttons. Battery life has remained consistently good, you just have to right-click (a null action) all the time to wake it. What hasn't stood up as well to the rigours of time is the mouse wheel, as with a lot of mice it must be said, it suffers from slip so doesn't always detect the movement particularly if it's fine movement (I've tended to push slightly from the top and I've noticed if you push slightly from the bottom it is still working). I have had problems with using it with gaming. I play sims a lot, and the amount of detailed movement will strain your wrists. So I am knocking it off a point for that. For anyone looking for alternatives that solve some of these issues - do consider the Evoluent VerticalMouse D, though it's a lot heavier, and there's always the 3M ergo mouse which remains unbeaten, in my view, at ergonomics.

I bought this mouse as an alternative to the more expensive Evoluent mouse, which, by the way, is excellent. Both are vertical mice, which means that your hand is actually in a natural position when using it. This means that there is no stress or tension on the muscles in your forearm, which means less stress overall, and it minimises the risk of nerve injury or repetitive strain injury. In my case, using a vertical mouse also helped me to completely recover from a nerve injury which stopped me driving and also resulted in me having to take time off work. This is part of the solution - keeping your keyboard as flat as possible and making sure that your wrists are not angled upwards (if necessary by rising the height of your chair and using a footstool for your feet, so that your keyboard is lower will also help). Try getting rid of any wrist rests, as they tend to make your wrist angle upwards, putting stress and strain on those muscles and tendons. It worked for me - I have been pain free for over three years now. I have been a huge fan of the Evoluent mouse for this reason, and when it broke and I needed a replacement I saw this and decided to give it a try as it is a fraction of the price of a new Evoluent. I am so glad that I did. Note, that this mouse is for RIGHT-HANDED use. I don't know if there is a left handed version, but they are not interchangeable. The mouse has a USB dongle, which is stored underneath the mouse when not in use. When I first put the dongle into the computer it didn't work, but a re-start of Windows sorted that problem out immediately. The mouse actually feels more comfortable than the Evoluent, if that is possible, as that is one of the best mice I have ever used. This TeckNet mouse has a soft, rubberised, smooth feel and fits my hands perfectly. The sensitivity was spot-on straight out of the box, and the cursor is smooth and responsive. For full disclosure, I work in the field of disability and often recommend equipment to people using computers. I will be purchasing these as the first choice mouse to try in future, a) because of the tremendous value, b) because it is as good as the Evoluent and c) because your hand is supported in a natural position which will minimise injury. Absolutely recommend this product. You will need 2 x AA batteries for the mouse as these are not supplied.I generally review any products I buy on Amazon, because I only ever purchase products myself after reading the reviews of others.
