TRELCGaming Mouse with 5 D Rocker, Ergonomic Mouse with 10000 DPI/11 Programmable Buttons, Vertical Gaming Mice Wired for PC/Laptop/E-Sports/Gamer (Black)

This is a great mouse; it feels great in the hand, and just looks really cool. The resolution indicitaor lights on top look cool, and the flowing multicolor lightbars on the bottom look really slick as well. The thumbstick on top is especially nice, and is really great for easily adjusting the map in RTS and tactical wargames (such as BattleTech, which I play A LOT.) The bottom two thumb buttons are placed just a bit too far forward and can be a little hard to reach, but that will depend on the angle of your arm and how you hold the mouse (they would be much better if they were positioned just a bit further back, closer to the palm.)I got this mouse because about two months ago I suddenly developed a really bad case of tendonitis in the middle two fingers of my mouse hand, to the point that my finger knuckle went *CLUNK* every time I bent my finger, and eventually I couldn't even close my fist. I had seen upright ergonomic mice like this before and thought they looked cool but I never had a reason to justify the cost of buying one before, but when I developed the tendonitis I decided I'd give one a try to see if it helped. And thankfully after starting to use this mouse instead it cleared up after a few weeks.I had initially worried that it would be hard to get accustomed to this new style of mouse with my hand in a different position, but I quickly realized that it was actually easier for me and gave me even more control than with a standard mouse; the position of your hand on the mouse allows you to rest the heel of your palm on the mousepad, allowing you fine precision control over the movement of the mouse. You just need to make sure that your mousepad has a surface that isn't too slick or the mouse can slide all over the place the moment you take your hand off it.I only wish it was wireless, since I use a laptop that I literally sit on my lap and the cable can get in the way, but that isn't any kind of complaint against this mouse in particular; the cable is actually really nice and coated in a woven fabric material that keeps it from getting all tangled and knotted up.Overall it's a really nice mouse, and I consider it well worth the price.

The sensitivity on the mouse is higher than I'm used to, but I find that it's a good thing. It glides easily, and I'm having some trouble adjusting for precision clicking, but that will improve in time. The Page Forward button is a little out of reach without adjusting to have the tips of my finger hang off or having my wrist twisted a little more, but it can still be useful as a secondary button in games. The ergonomic feel is actually quite nice, but I've needed to readjust how my hand sits on the mouse—instead of my hand sitting with my index on lmb and my middle on rmb as I've done in the past, I need to have index on lmb, middle on the scroll wheel, and ring on rmb. Otherwise, my ring finger drags and my pinky has to be popped out like a fancy lad sippy some glorious tea. I think I would have that problem with any vertical mouse due to the size of my hands, though. Back to the headline, though, the joystick really is just a gimmick to me. I think it could be a cool addition with its mapping on wasd, allowing a player to have more control over some games' really bad keybindings and needs for tons of hotkeys. Unfortunately, the joystick is not /that/ helpful in games, as it seems to not have a function to have more than one of the directions active at a time. For example, you cannot push the stick to the upper-left to be activating forward-left movement. Either the game doesn't respond at all or just maintains the direction you may have initially activated, such as continuing forward because you press up then moved the stick leftward. I definitely wasn't expecting it to function like a controller/gamepad's analog stick, but I was expecting diagonal movement, and I can't seem to get that to happen. If another has managed it, then do teach me your skills. It's at least cute, though. Maybe the joystick can be useful for light adjustments for a sniper or something similar, but it's not good for normal movement.

The media could not be loaded. This Zelotes vertical mouse is 4.5” long, 3.25” high, 3” wide. It has a colorful light strip at the bottom when active and comes with preset function defaults. It is advertised to have 11 programmable settings, but it is really 9 since most people will maintain the left-click and right-click button defaults. It comes with a Zelotes CD that allows you to customize each function.I have a small hand (3.25” inch from bottom of thumb to bottom of palm) with thick, stubby fingers so this mouse felt extremely comfortable compared to other vertical mice I had previously used. I liked the fact that the joystick was easily accessible and could serve as 5 functions. My fat thumb found it easier to utilize the joystick with better accuracy than other mice that have a number “keypad” on the left side of the mouse. All of the functions were easy to activate except for the “forward button” which I have to stretch my thumb to reach. The vertical mouse construction is easier on my wrist compared to the traditional mouse. This is the best vertical mouse I have come across for a smaller hand.Pros:Easy to install and set upWell constructed with quality materialsSmaller product frame was excellent for my small handsThe joystick provided 5 functions that were easily accessibleThe vertical nature was easier on my wrist for long-term useImproved my gaming skill activation timeSnazzy colorful light strip at the bottomCons:People with bigger hands might not like this function layout or sizeMade only for right-handed people
