FotoFo Wired Ergonomic 2.4G Vertical 5 Button Mouse (Grey)

The cable broke 2 months after. Then I bought a wireless one

Has completely eased the strain on my hand. Very responsive.

I have used regular mice all my life and with the years my hands have become considerably weaker and vulnerable to pain during computer work. When I saw these I realized how much of an awkward twist one has to endure in using a regular mouse so thought this design could help since there is much lest of a twist. After seeing a wide variety online I decided to try this one as the price is quite reasonable and if I didn't like it, wouldn't be a huge loss. Unlike everyone else here I did not get this mouse for free so this is a REAL review. I bought the black, wired version as I have been having trouble with my wireless mice recently.The mouse is extremely light as is the case with wireless mice since there are no batteries to weigh it down. It's taking me a bit to get used to that but it shouldn't be a problem. The design is a handsome combination of matte and shiny plastic - doesn't look super high end, but well designed for such a cheap price point. The accuracy is consistent with all my logitech mice so no complaint there. Left and right click have just the right amount of firmness. Scroll wheel is a bit too firm for my taste. I have gotten used to the logitech light scroll and prefer it, but not that big of a deal. The only minus really is the choice of placing in the forward and backwards buttons. When you are grasping the body and your thumb is in the thumb rest, it is awkward and almost painful to pull your thumb back and press those buttons. In all other mice of this type of design the buttons are ON TOP of the thumb rest - a much more logical placement. Fortunately I never use the back and forward buttons on the mouse so this is not a deal breaker for me. Other than that, I am quite pleased with the mouse!
