At the cost of ambidexterity, this mouse is angled 45 degrees to the right to alleviate the scissoring effect between the radius and ulna bones within the forearm. Opposite of the left-and-right-click buttons is a concave surface where the thumb is meant to be placed, enabling a more secure grip. Some other mouses apply the same ergonomic design at the leftward angle.
There is a bit of a learning curve when I began using this mouse as I tried acclimatizing to this newly oriented mouse grip. I even had to use my index finger to scroll and click the middle button instead of my middle finger.
So far, I have practiced using this mouse while playing F.E.A.R. and it was a matter of hours before this format of mouse dexterity became 2nd nature to me.
Compared to several vertical or slanted mouses, this one is among the most affordable ergonomic gaming mouses I could find, and it has enough programmable buttons I need for most gaming and 3D-Graphics editing experiences. It comes with two DPI settings which result in notably different mouse sensitivities.
At least one thing left to be desired is a multi-color luminescent stream below the thumb grip, as it only emits blue.
Nevertheless, this is a beautiful ergonomic mouse that maintains a familiar design structure of most gaming mouses.
Also, pardon my images below as they are all upside-down.
This mouse is very ergonomic, and the DPI button is convenient. This would be enough for me to love this mouse, if it weren't for two large flaws: 1) The LED is BRIGHT. Annoyingly so. So bright that it's distracting to use the computer in a dim room. 2) After a matter of months, the mouse has developed a behaviour where, when left clicking, it scrolls down a small amount. The amount it scrolls is minuscule, but perceptible. Just enough to be distracting when I'm working on a page and clicking various buttons. This was finally the dealbreaker that led me to throw this mouse in the trash
Mouse buttons and wheel function feels good, the product Description says the mouse has 3 speed sensitivity Resolution settings of 800 / 1200 / 1600 DPI, but the delivered product packaging and actual functionality in use only have 2 DPI settings of 1000 / 1600 DPI
Wish the pointless, annoying at night, and wasteful blue LED swoosh had an off button in the base of the mouse or was removed from the product to decrease price or increase component durability/lifespan.
Used mostly for office work, hobby gaming. Plug 'n play.
The blue light is BRIGHT! I took the mouse apart and removed the 2 blue LEDs (took ~5 minutes), and that was that.
It has a habit of disconnecting(?) randomly, probably every other hour. It could be the USB hub I'm using (or...I took it apart to snip out the LEDs and bumped something internal), but I don't have that issue with any other device on that hub. It's not a big deal, it reconnects a second later. I haven't plugged it directly into my PC to see if that changes anything because it's a mild issue...but if I was a competitive FPS or RTS gamer? That occasional, random 1 second would be a dealbreaker...assuming it's a manufacturer defect...which I'm on the fence about.
The ergonomics is something seldom considered when purchasing a mouse but this makes it more comfortable to use. The hand doesn't lie flat but sits with the little finger down. Your actually wraps around the mouse. The response is fast and the mouse is very responsive when in use. I don't seem to move it as far as I used to with a standard mouse.
