"this is quite annoying as i regularly use this for work as i use cad software"

"very disappointed been a big time anker fan and have several other products from them"

"so the pros first: + the upright position definitely feels more natural and less straining + it's big enough so my pinkie doesn't feel squashed out alone it rests together with all my other fingers + seems well built works straight out of the box didn't have to install any crapware and the cons: i tend to stiffen my thumb when i left click which is somewhat tiring but not a huge problem"

"some reviews mention that it's light feels cheap and tends to fall over"

"i wish the led had different colours for different resolutions but this is a small issue"

"my only gripe is that the mouse is sometimes slow to start up after sleeping for a period"

"i bought this as a replacement for a more expensive conventional wireless mouse that had started to misbehave"

"then you have to click to activate it just moving it doesn't work"

"it took a little bit of time to get used to but now an ordinary mouse feels awkward"

"the only problem is when moving from typing i keep knocking the mouse off my desk due to it being higher but sure this will change once i get use to it"

"i have to say the previous reviews were spot on when intitially using a vertical mouse it does feel very strange but as recommended i persevered and was delighted that after 3 4 days got comfortable with how to hold it and i very rarely suffer as before as if you check out youtube you hold in a sort of hand shake position and this also helps with shoulder and wrist problems"

"my colleagues on trying the mouse identified the exact same problem without prompting"

"i've dropped it once too often and now it's stopped working so i didn't hesitate to order the same model again"

"i had this mouse for a few months and it stopped working"

"nothing wrong with it other reviews say that you have to give it some time"

"after i have tried for a week adjust hand and arm position i found that it is extremely disappointed because 1"

"it is especially annoying that i am unable to get a refund on this now"

"i use pc extensively at work daily use is more than 10 hours on average can get quite tiring for the wrist"

"however increased time on the computer had started to cause some issues with neck pain i solved this by buying a kensington riser stand for the screen height very good and a lot of pain in my arm elbow"

"it is highly inaccurate and extremely jerky and uncontrollable in use"

"i actually find this mouse more tiring than a standard mouse"

"add to that the fact that you can't change the button assignments of the back & forward buttons and it was just no good for me"

"2 years after purchasing it got really annoying so i thought how i could fix it"

"it jumps around is is very inaccurate"

"i have a fairly average sized man's hand and although the mouse fell well to hand my thumb frequently hit the back button leaving me somewhere else entirely which got very confusing"

"it's not for long and if you're not using it for gaming or sensitive work it'll be fine but otherwise it's near worthless"

"that's deeply annoying"

"the rotation and material is nice the thin buttons that force your fingers either into a cleanched "beak" or something where you little finger is splayed out ina really uncomfortable postion depending on whether or not you want to use the right button with your middle or ring finger are absolutely terrible"

"worst mouse i have ever used and i've used some really rubbish ones"

"recently my right arm had become really sore and my doctor advised me that i had probably strained my tendons"

"also the high ridge that falls under the bottom of the forefinger digs in a bit and i've developed a weird bump there now"

"my colleagues on trying the mouse identified the exact same problem without prompting"

"its a pretty poor mouse "

"first one packed up after half an hour middle button stopped working then the rmb became intermittent "

"i can work 12 14h a day without any strain in my hand while previously i struggled after 8h"

"a product with potential that is let down by design issues and poor hardware"

"the only slight gripe is that the button presses l r & scroll wheel are a little firm for my liking but it's something i'm sure i'll get used to"

"the rotation and material is nice the thin buttons that force your fingers either into a cleanched "beak" or something where you little finger is splayed out ina really uncomfortable postion depending on whether or not you want to use the right button with your middle or ring finger are absolutely terrible"

"worst mouse i have ever used and i've used some really rubbish ones"

"fresh batteries etc don't make a difference it just has intemittent connection issues which is really really bad for a mouse"

"on day 4 that has become unbearable"

"i even bought a corsair mouse mat to give it a proper surface to track which improved things somewhat but it's still horrible inconsistent"

"it fell out a bunch of times then once in an airport lounge i couldn't find the dongle and so my mouse was worthless"

"if you have a phone with hot spot active or a bluetooth speaker anywhere near the mouse doesnt work properly"

"unfortunately after a few weeks i realized that it was causing me problems in other areas"

"had an evoluent vertical mouse it died far too quickly for its price and this was an alternative replacement"

"but using my normal mx master mouse was becoming increasingly painful"

"my apple mouse was killing me and i changed to a larger mouse which helped but after a while the pain got worse"

"i had got to the point where i was crying on the drive home thinking i would have to leave a job i loved because i was losing feeling in my hand"

"4ghz wifi worked fine for a while then started lagging again and i've no idea what could be the cause"

"my wrist never hurts anymore since i started using this mouse but it's not very reliable: sometimes it like loses connection and the pointer does not move when i move the mouse or it moves intermittently and now after less than 2 years of use no gaming the left click button is already broken"

"not only that but the scroller wheel degraded in only 4 months and it gradually stops to work which seems to be mechanical issue"

"anyway it is a mouse but that's it it make my arm feel worse!"

"i use a black mouse pad and on this surface it performs badly!"

"plus my hand slides down the mouse making it more difficult to reach the buttons"

"4ghz band and is randomly inaccurate and unstable"

"after a while the load on this smaller surface area was causing more pain than a normal mouse"

"it won't cause problem when you hold the mouse horizontally since your index and middle fingers can position "v" shape easily"

"with various surfaces or even a grainy gaming style mousepad it has noticeable issues to pick up and a stutter is the consequence"

"having said that the re positioning of my wrist with this mouse has reduced the pain in my wrist from my torn tendon and i use this 8 hours a day 5 days a week"

"this gets tiresome causes fatigue in my hand after a short period and i imagine will cause additional strain in time defeating the purpose of buying such a mouse in the first place"

"i have replaced the batteries twice but it has become very unresponsive which is highly frustrating for video editing work"

"not concentrate first but the real reason i sent it back was that the mouse pointer kept stuttering and slowing down for no reason"

"the only issue is being female i have a smaller hand medium for a female!"

"i was beginning to find that using my apple magic mouse was causing aches in wrist and forearm"

"there is definitely less noticeable strain on the muscles in my forearm that are causing the problem"

"it feels cheaply made and doesn't come with the required 2 x aa batteries which is irritating"

"i bought this to address an rsi issue i was having with both conventional mice and roller ball types mainly because i have long fingers and many devices are just too cramped for me"

"i have noticed less strain on hand and wrist compared to conventional designs"

"the problem with my new mouse is that it's heavy laggy and has a broken scroll wheel after two three months"

"after two years however and numerous falls it glitched so badly i couldn't use it anymore"

"i was initially wary of the change of hand position but my fears have proved unfounded as even after prolonged use the wrist issue has improved considerably and the more upright position for my hand is feeling more 'normal'"

"i have knocked it over a couple of times when reaching for it but that's just user error and after 3 days is happening less often"

"no batteries included"

"apparently hot spot bluetooth speakers keyboard cause stuttering which makes it unusable in my case i will be refunding for a better quality mouse"

"since using this mouse i have had no more aches pains or swollen joints fingers"

"very light almost too light good grip no need to install any drivers"

"so for a high quality attractive economic mouse it is unfortunately flawed"

"this is ideal in shape for prolonged use but it seems to have a problem in that it freezes which is likely to be a connectivity problem"

"the anker has it in front of the backwards button and above the thumb which makes it hard to press without lifting you thumb from the mouse so you don't press the backwards instead "

"but it still not good enough for my daily use and it is still causing me more pain than a regular mouse"

"but the fact that it is very uncomfy for your thumb and the fact that the "receiver" usb thing that plugs into the laptop broke while inside it minding its own business but having a need to swap the mouse over to my desktop computer i was shocked to see that it came in apart in two smaller pieces"

"i should of bought one of these a long time ago i work with software and have to be sat at a computer for 8+ hours a day pretty much so sometimes i would get painful numbness and nerve pains in my hand"

"even if you curl your small finger back out the way a little which naturally revolves your arm and wrist a little back in to the direction this mouse is actively trying to stop you from doing the width of the right button just means you either have to scrunch your hand up again to use the scroll wheel with your middle finger or have it over an a rigid area of plastic next to the tiny right button"

"i also found that having to click the mouse to get it to wake up started to become annoying there is no indication whether it's awake or asleep until you try and use it"

"it feels laggy too like there is a slight delay"

"* poor wireless connectivity experienced extreme stuttering at distance 1m w some obstruction between mouse & connector "

"let's face it you don't buy one of these unless you're in the unfortunate position to need one"

"the mouse really needs to be textured rather than smooth to avoid this"

"which might cause inflammation unpainful"

"however after 3 weeks of use the scroll wheel worked intermittently and then failed"

"back and forward buttons are pretty much useless where they are you have to twist your thumb to reach them and feel too high again"

"it tracks well has no connection problems and comes awake quickly after pressing any button it goes into sleep mode to not drain the battery "

"started using it in march and here we are 1 month later broken!"

"having never used a mouse this way before i’m having to retain myself but it was a quick transition and all seems to be very well made solid and comfortable"

"clicking the mouse needs a firm click and the click is not a soft click but slightly more clunky all in all i wouldn't use it it's too thin for my grip "

"other problems: the scroll wheel is really shallow and doesn't scroll comfortably the forward back buttons are located in an awkward position and again shallow so they are hard to press"

"however in order to use the mouse i have to grip it really tight"

"poorly positioned forward and back buttons are something that can be ignored but the left button also 'misses' frequently despite hearing a heart click from the mouse itself"

"this is an upgrade from a wired vertical mouse from a different brand which had started peeling"

"unfortuntately it is useless on mac mini losing connection sluggish and unresponsive"

"it is much more comfortable to hold and relieves pain in the wrist and forearm tendonitis but although you can swing it left and right easily going up and down the screen means you have to move your whole arm from the shoulder which is very imprecise and tiring in its own way"

"i bought this because i was experiencing pain in my lower arm from using a regular mac mouse"

"this means is slides about much too quickly making it harder to control"

"big time fingerprint magnet if that bothers you"

"update 12 6 19: i am returning this as wireless connectivity has become unreliable after just two days"

"wana try an ergonomic mouse start with a cheap one using g305 before almost forget how normal mouse feels it is fine for normal usage but after using light speed sensor for such a long time the sensor on this mouse feels like absolute rubbish but you kinda expecting such things on a cheap product so overall it's fine not going to use it for gaming for sure"

"after this it has developed an intermittent connection issue"

"lesser issues i have regular size hand though i'm female so probably smaller than male's hand size and i find reaching buttons kinda awkward it's designed for bigger hand simply"

"ultimately it was a cheap mouse and i got what i paid for"

"all in all i need to return this and i'm wondering how given the lockdown i'm over 70"

"holding a normal mouse or touch on a laptop for a longer duration causes pain in arm and later in the neck using this mouse helped me to get rid of the pain"

"i at first thought that i simply had to get used to the mouse but then i also started to experience pain in my shoulder and elbow which had never bothered me before"

"a personal thing not a faulty product at all"

"i have severe problems with my shoulder due to posture at the computer and mouse abuse and i found using this mouse actually does help"

"checked on various websites for best mouse for arthritis and 2 or 3 very expensive vertical mice came up i checked anker out on youtube and read all the reviews on amazon and came to the conclusion it would better to spend 11"

"*update* less than two weeks old and this mouse has completely failed"

"i must say though after a couple of weeks use i can't say i have noticed any real difference in fact i think i prefer a good sized conventional mouse over this as i am starting to feel a slight irritation at the bottom of the wrist that sits on the surface when using this mouse"

"i had "regular" mouse causing pain in my wrist"

"it jumps around is is very inaccurate"

"they said they have the highest quality control on their products but occasionally things can slip through and i may well have a faulty mouse"

"this anker mouse does no have the same wireless reach as my last one in that where i sit and move the mouse about the anker one loses signal and stops moving constantly"

"unfortunately the price point misleads you into thinking this may be an inferior product hold your horses!"

"i don't have pain in my wrist but suffer with pain in my thumb"

"i replaced the batteries bit still it wouldn't work"

"i have tried everything and cannot use it whilst it doesn't function properly"

"that is why i have now purchased the newer updated version of the other mouse in the hopes my problems are solved"

"purchased this mouse as i have large hands and most mice are rather uncomfortable"

"i bought this mouse and enjoyed using it until i had some intermittent issues with it freezing"

"i think that might just be me being clumsy though"

"oh no wait the dpi has reset to 800 mildly annoying"

"i could have my other cheaper non ergonomic mouse plugged in at the same time as the jittering anker one having no problems so it's not an os or load problem"

"i have arthritis in my thumb joint so can no longer use a 'normal' mouse for long periods as i use my thumb to manoeuvrer it putting strain on the joint and making my eyes water"

"ordered this mouse to reduce pain in my wrist"

"my right hand was becoming very painful and swollen so i had a look to see what was available that may help alleviate this problem"

"got this and a keyboard as i was getting pain in my wrists took a bit of getting used to as you hold the mouse differently from a conventional mouse also double clicking was a bit weird at first but after a few days of use it felt as natural as normal mouse"

"then it became sluggish then unresponsive then stalled froze and response was slow"

"but it has 2 buttons on the left instead of one i'm not sure how useful this is as my thumb is not that flexible"

"overall for £11 or roundabouts i shouldn't complain definitely works just needs some refinement"

"update 12 6 19: i am returning this as wireless connectivity has become unreliable after just two days"

"if there is even a slight break in line of sight from the mouse to the adaptor it stops working"

"however as i rarely need to do that it's not a major problem"

"you think you’re buying a quality anker branded product but amazon send you a poor quality chinese lookalike moulded in poor plastic and with a battery cover that doesn’t fit"

"the only blemish is the position of the back forward buttons but i'm glad they're there and not sure whether i would have put them either!"

"after only 5 days it has been consigned to the junk drawer where it will live until i have a clear out or pass it on to some poor unsuspecting sucker"

"with the standard 2 buttons a scroll wheel and 2 side buttons for navigation it is no different to a standard mouse just a lot more comfortable as it conforms to the natural resting position of the wrist so makes useage much more bearable"

"i usually use index finger for scrolling and can't on this as its too short will persevere but so far is simply creating alternate pain from having to grip the mouse all the time for my fingers to align with the scroll wheel and buttons"

"i have been using a trackpad for a long time so suddenly having to move my hand around and a lot because i have a large screen felt very uncomfortable"

"i bought this on a recommendation from a friend as i have very arthritic hands and the repetitive movement of my hand on an ordinary mouse caused it to become inflamed"

"wana try an ergonomic mouse start with a cheap one using g305 before almost forget how normal mouse feels it is fine for normal usage but after using light speed sensor for such a long time the sensor on this mouse feels like absolute rubbish but you kinda expecting such things on a cheap product so overall it's fine not going to use it for gaming for sure"

"it is not as comfortable as you expect the main problem is with clicking the scroll because of the angle it is verry uncomfortable to click it"

"this is a minus in aesthetics for me a fake thing that doesn't do much "buttons side" is not that well done aesthetically speaking"

"the transmitter receiver is kinda weak so i had to put the receiver in the front usb slots pc tower for reliable connection"

"the second problem with the mouse is the position of upper mouse click button left click is too far away from the bottom button"

"i had all three devices fail in this area at an alarming rate"

"a slight inconvenience at times to driving you to near psychotic moments when the thing connects and disconnects and windows announces this by the "bling" and "blong" noise when it does so"

"long story short your thumb "braces" to counter the force slightly and it starts to cause problems after a while"

"at first this has to be the most bizarre mouse to hold you have to completely rethink the way you hold and move your mouse but that last for about 5 minutes"

"i've had problems with carpal tunnel in the past which causes occasional shooting pains in my wrist and fingers"

"which is not very nice happening once in 2 3 min"

"the reason i brought this was i'm constantly holding a mouse all day and have started to get a sore wrist"

"i had also bought this mouse as all the ones i previously used caused me pain in my wrists fingers and slightly in the arm and looked for something which would stop that and i haven't had any pain ever since i began using it provided also that you have good posture and whatnot while browsing "

"it's just plain wrong and feels very uncomfortable and awkward"

"the anker has it in front of the backwards button and above the thumb which makes it hard to press without lifting you thumb from the mouse so you don't press the backwards instead "

"the only slight gripe is that the button presses l r & scroll wheel are a little firm for my liking but it's something i'm sure i'll get used to"

"when i last sat down at my desk and took hold of the mouse i ended up with a shooting pain in my elbow and realized that this simply wasn’t going to work"

"the only negative is that i haven't found a driver that allows me to program the various buttons"

"i also found that the left button was slightly stiff or perhaps it was that its positioning made it difficult to push: i always ended up with a sore index finger after working with the mouse"

"it seems a little too conveniently located for something that is likely to be used only once in a while also prepare yourself for a bit of mental stress while you learn how to use a mouse again!"

"overall since the start of using this mouse i developed more pain in my wrist and thumb the pain was the reason for buying it "

"however there appears to be a significant design flaw surprisingly unmentioned in many other reviews"

"there is definitely less noticeable strain on the muscles in my forearm that are causing the problem"

"plus my hand slides down the mouse making it more difficult to reach the buttons"

"it's not reliable"

"i suffered from pain in my elbow joint and hand wrist for over a year as i was using a mouse a lot for work doing technical drawings it was so bad at one point it was waking me at night"

"but one wrist pain was replaced by palm muscles pain"

"it starts with poor clicking responses poor movement detection and gradually gets worse and worse"

"as your hand is basically sideways it’s moves the pressure from the normal padded part of hand for a normal mouse to the boney part after a while it gets tender"

"only negative point is that i still haven't learned to lift my hand high enough when switching from the keyboard it is quite tall so sometimes i still hit it and because it is also very light normally a good thing it falls over"

"i've been using this mouse for about 7 months and since day one i've had on and off connection issues with it"

"personally i struggled to use the mouse for more than 15 minutes after having found batteries before it started to become painful"

"the rotation and material is nice the thin buttons that force your fingers either into a cleanched "beak" or something where you little finger is splayed out ina really uncomfortable postion depending on whether or not you want to use the right button with your middle or ring finger are absolutely terrible"

"i ordered this product because i picked up a repetitive strain injury using a normal desktop mouse and it's been so much better"

"update almost exactly a month since i got it and i have just lost it with this mouse i work in an extremely busy 'keyboard entry' environment and constantly moving hand from mouse to keyboard resulted in me keeping whacking it off my desk finally smashed when fell today if your profile is similar avoid any mouse like this with a tall profile!"

"it's still better than a regular mouse and the fact that it looks nice is a big plus i don't wanna have some big chunky thing at my desk attracting attention at work "

"works well but to be a five star product this would need to be slightly more upright in design the angle requires your wrist and forearm to be slightly leaning over to the left which i find is not the perfect position to remove wrist and hand strain"

"it's not working"

"they get a bit of getting used to but after two days it became the norm and they are now much more comfortable than a normal flat mouse which i now find to be a bit weird and uncomfortable in my hand"

"shame anker doesn't do this in a smaller size"

"i have knocked it a few times moving from the keyboard back to the mouse but i think that this is a problem for me rather than a design problem"

"sadly its replacement the sculpt ergonomic was far too small and required me to roll my wrist around at an uncomfortable angle"

"i was initially wary of the change of hand position but my fears have proved unfounded as even after prolonged use the wrist issue has improved considerably and the more upright position for my hand is feeling more 'normal'"

"the pointer isn't quite as precise as my £50 logitech but the difference is hardly noticeable"

"this is a potential issue for any locked work devices that do not allow for dongle installations no charging possibilities"

"i'm only cropping one star because of the mousepad issue"

"this mouse is very particular and i wanted to try it but i'm afraid it's not for me"

"i really tried with this mouse but found it would cause horrendous hand pain within minutes of use and the longer i used it the worse it became"

"couple that with the fact that i don't find the vertical ergonomic shape comfortable and it means i'm pretty disappointed outside that it is a well made piece of kit looks nice and so far the battery life has been very good plus points for its auto shutdown and if you were using it on a desk i'm sure it would be great"

"if you suffer from shoulder pain i wouldn't recommend this as you move your arm a lot more"

"the only slight gripe is that the button presses l r & scroll wheel are a little firm for my liking but it's something i'm sure i'll get used to"

"my biggest issue is that whilst the rubberized finish looks nice it is too slippy!"

"it's a shame but this mouse is probably going to be the first step to buying a better vertical mouse because the stuttering thing is getting a real pain already"

"there are two main problems: 1"

"i bought this on a recommendation from a friend as i have very arthritic hands and the repetitive movement of my hand on an ordinary mouse caused it to become inflamed"

"this gets tiresome causes fatigue in my hand after a short period and i imagine will cause additional strain in time defeating the purpose of buying such a mouse in the first place"

"however it freezes and stutters and it's likely down to the loose fitting of the wireless dongle as it's not a driver issue"

"being an occassional gamer i dont really need a gaming mouse although i have had them before"

"after reading previous reviews saying that you needed time to adjust to the shape of this mouse i was expecting to have to do just that and was a little apprehensive that i'd made the right choice but i needn't have worried"

"my wrist never hurts anymore since i started using this mouse but it's not very reliable: sometimes it like loses connection and the pointer does not move when i move the mouse or it moves intermittently and now after less than 2 years of use no gaming the left click button is already broken"

"on the wrong surface especially the rougher surfaced mouse mats the cursor 'sticks' every now and again and the mouse feels draggy to move"

"just doesnt seem like my cup of tea"

"every day at the end of my shift i put the mouse in my bag and after about a month for whatever reason one of the mouse skates came off not too much of a big deal but made the mouse uneven on my desk i had to remove another skate to even it out but now it scraped a bit and wasn't as fluid on my desk"

"however it freezes and stutters and it's likely down to the loose fitting of the wireless dongle as it's not a driver issue"

"just a shame it's so darn expensive"

"i've ended up going back to using my old regular mouse which is hardly ideal"

"return window obviously closed but it should maybe have a simple warranty but maybe it has not got even that"

"but once you're used to it there's no going back"

"it is not as comfortable as you expect the main problem is with clicking the scroll because of the angle it is verry uncomfortable to click it"

"the pointer isn't quite as precise as my £50 logitech but the difference is hardly noticeable"

"the bluetooth is also a tiny bit sketchy sometimes"

"i'm not convinced that it's *quite* as accurate as my old mouse but that cost about ten times as much and be warned that if you have a high resolution mouse pad like then you may find that the cursor jumps all over the place but try the mouse without a pad or with a plain pad and you should find that it starts to behave itself"

"but when you hold the mouse vertically the index finger has to continuously move up to click the mouse button which is unconfortable and easily getting tired"

"i'm completely confused how this has so many high ratings i don't consider my hands to be abnormal in any way it's painful goin back to the keyboard typing after using this!"

"bought this as i use my mouse all day for 3 d cad modelling & get a sore forearm wrist after prolonged periods at work"

"this mouse barely works half or even a quarter of the time the cursor keeps stuttering until it stops entirely and then i have to frustratedly wiggle the mouse against different surfaces before it decides to work again"

"as the headline says i'm getting another for use at work to replace the cabled one i'm still using there but is driving me nuts "

"it did help with my wrist aches but the precision is very poor"

"though on initial use some glaring issues arrised: the mouse is really not good for people with bigger hands i found it very hard to use this for more then a little bit at a time as i was constantly having to regrip the mouse and stop my hand from getting squashed as i tried to get all my fingers resting on it most notible is my pinky finger as time went on my fingers would push against my pinky and i found it getting numb there is no room to place it"

"i forgot the pains in the hand i got from a conventional "palm down" mouse and that was the prime reason i bought this for"

"there is an on off switch on it but i honestly never use it it powers down after a few min of no use and you just need to click any button to get it going again"

"i'm going t opersist with it for a few more days"

"no shark that’s a wireless mouse by anker no cheese in this it’s a perfectly ergonomic designed wireless mouse fits perfectly in your hand right handed with the page back and forward buttons operation by your thumb and the two mouse buttons and scroll wheel operated by your first second fingers the design is great the speed and operation is perfect it’s not loud battery life from the two aaa batteries is endless another great product and i have a few from the boys and girls at anker"

"the round rubber scrolls around independently to the actual scroll wheel"

"this leads to a lot of accidental attempts to copy paste or move items rather than the desired selection"

"the main reason is that the right side of my right hand now moves over the table and friction ends up causing me more pain than using a regular "flat" mouse"

"if this is still a proiblem i might return it or i might try some sandpaper to roughen the surface up"

"i dont use the page navigation buttons since i find them awkward on every mouse i have used and i would rather not have them at all on my mouse"

"this mouse however has many issues with lag it is frustrating enough that i find myself wanting to shake it the primitive thought it might snap it back into being responsive"

"if you suffer from any type of rsi or carpel tunnel issue this is a must have"

"i have very small hands 15cm from end of palm to tip of the middle finger and this is barely barely comfortable for me"

"if i had bought this on the high street i would be down there now demanding my money back"

"i have been using apple mice since the early 90s and have been concerned now being 40+ that my wrist starts to ache after using one for more than an hour"

"not sure if it was only my product"

"just add a little bit of superglue under the rubber wheel or anything else sticky tape blue tac should work fine"

"update: following my low evaluation anker sent me another mouse for free in which the issues mentioned above are solved and it is much better for my wrist thumb problems"

"on the wrong surface especially the rougher surfaced mouse mats the cursor 'sticks' every now and again and the mouse feels draggy to move"

"while the tennis elbow pain which was quite severe hasn't gone away completely i have noticed a significant reduction in the pain"

"very disappointed"

"not a huge problem as my black grey one does the same but can be a bit irritating"

"i've had other mouses before more expensive ones that at the end of the day will cause me some pain on my hand and this one never did it"

"that's very strange"

"my only gripe is the central wheel that feels a bit stiff and scratchy when used"

"i knocked one star off the durability rating for this product due to a small issue with the battery cover i've had with the last two mice"

"the phone number provided on amazon doesn't work and when you click on the link for the logitech website you have to sign up before you can get any info"

"they last forever i only had to replace them in the past due to losing them never because they stopped working"

"i’ve tried connecting it to another laptop and has the same problem which verifies it’s the receiver mouse connection problem"

"i’ve tried connecting it to another laptop and has the same problem which verifies it’s the receiver mouse connection problem"

"the only problem i found was it came with flat batteries which i cleverly exchanged for different flat batteries and convinced myself it was broken!"

"gets quite annoying"

"i dismantled it just to see if there was anything obviously wrong with it"

"the mouse whilst being comfortable to hold feels cheap and so do the clicks"

"i would honestly buy another the same model if i had a problem with this one"

"this was returned or will be as soon as the courier arrives now five days anyway the reason i am returning the first one is because when it is "switched on" tiny switch on the base of the "mouse" the light does not light up therefore due to poor eyesight and not being able to see clearly the "on off" button on the base i don't know if the mouse is actually on or off"

"a bit small and cheap feel"

"crap mouse don't buy"

"major disappointment: it stopped working 6 weeks in this mouse is sitting on a desk in an office i"

"two weeks terrible terrible terrible "

"it's a total waste of money and i'm back to searching for a decent mouse"

"but for me it is really infuriating"

"con: the buttons were never particularly sharp to begin with but now they are beginning to struggle to register clicks which is disappointing as i've only had the mouse for 9 months and am now having to look for a replacement"

"i've never spent much on a computer mouse as i don't use them that often but despite this admittedly low price it's really an awful thing"

"very frustrating"

"but with one horrendous flaw"

"design issues exist in that the battery cover constantly falls off"

"after doing some reading on line i can see that absolutely tonnes of people are having issues with logitech their drivers and the conflicting issues it has with windows 7 wish i'd have read all this before hand : "

"he borrowed mine whilst i ordered him a new one"

"i have pretty small hands so they're the perfect size for me"

"or its a logitech error on the production line or it is a counterfeit mouse"

"i lost patience and reconnected my wired mouse instead"

"i've never spent much on a computer mouse as i don't use them that often but despite this admittedly low price it's really an awful thing"

"previous wireless models have been useless however so am hoping for a better result this time"

"if you have smallish hands a good buy"

"the only small downside is that the right kind of reflecting surface is needed"

"the most recent randomly stopped moving"

"note that the mouse doesn't light up like the wired variants and can appear inert when switched on but it works just fine"

"it's noisy sounds like some of the parts have come loose inside"

"still there are worse mice out there"

"i am not a fan of laptop touchpads i find them an awkward two handed operation"

"now it'll sit on a shelf gathering dust until i bin it"

"only drawback for me is the scrolling wheel is a little noisy and not as smooth as my first logitech i bought"

"using laptop mouse was starting to hurt wrist"

"attempts to contact both amazon customer service and logitech were so convoluted time consuming and expensive"

"with all this in mind i would still order another one without hesitation as and when my current mouse meets it ultimate demise at the hands of my cumbersome activities"

"the logitech m185 wireless mouse usb is rubbish as it is totally useless as it comes without the usb dongle to plug in the computer"

"buying cheap mice just magnified the problems"

"it was always challenging to use and eventually failed completely"

"the mouse wheel scrapes has the feeling of being cheap"

"it has rough edges all round the middle where its presumably clicked together"

"but i have only given it 3 stars because this really is not very good"

"and no longer in danger of strangling myself with unwanted wiring"

"i was a little disappointed when i received my purchase i followed the simple instructions but it did not work after trying various things it still did not work as a last resort decided to change the battery thinking this cannot possible be the problem but sure enough it worked its a first for me that never happen before"

"so i took a very small screwdriver and inserted it into the spring underneath the negative earth of the battery and just stretched the spring a little"

"no hand cramp functional comes with a battery aa on and off switch"

"i would recommend to anyone wanting a simple alternative to those frustrating trackpads!"

"it is too small for normal adult hands it's much smaller than something like the classic microsoft mouse and it feels sounds and looks flimsy"

"worked as it should no issues today tried to use it and buttons unresponsive feels stiff "

"item arrived incomplete and it's almost impossible to get hold of logitech"

"update: this mouse started making weird sounds only 2 months down the line which was a little concerning"

"i guess some dirt might be causing some problems"

"the main irritation is that this one only takes one aa battery whilst the old one took two"

"only bad point is that it outshines all the other mice in the house so will have to replace them with this one now"

"i have two computers and three identical mice i need to feel comfortable that i won't get caught short should my mouse die for some reason"

"or its a logitech error on the production line or it is a counterfeit mouse"

"i bought this mouse to replace an old logitech wired mouse because the cable from the mouse was constantly being trapped in the spaghetti junction of cables at the rear of my computer"

"with all this in mind i would still order another one without hesitation as and when my current mouse meets it ultimate demise at the hands of my cumbersome activities"

"stopped working after four days now have all the bother to send back bad item"

"only found out when i tried to heat up to replace the garbage stock feet the first one came with only to find out it was a full plastic base"

"i didn't realise how small this mouse was it's painfully small"

"item arrived incomplete and it's almost impossible to get hold of logitech"

"the wheel for scrolling squeaks irritatingly"

"i'm now reluctant to order another one in case they're part of the same faulty batch"

"the laptop came with a free gaming mouse with endless buttons which is useless for general browsing"

"but for £10 i guess can't expect too much strange sounds come from inside if you give a little shake"

"the mouse has a standard battery which should last about a year very easy to turn the mouse off when not in use"

"i hope amazon stop selling this as a bundle"

"without success"

"whenever i supply a cctv system i throw away the bundled corded mouse and add one of these"

"was initially a bit hesitated by the looks and the size but turns out this is a great little product!"

"3 because on day two the mouse stopped functioning normally particularly the left click button and kept sending safari web pages to the reading list instead of opening them and lots of other oddities and irregularities occured"

"personally i can't see myself keeping this one as i am looking for a better replacement"

"99 plug in the little receiver into a spare usb port & away you go with no messing around at all literally plug & play how it's s'posed to be"

"or inaccessible buttons to press in tandem to get the devise to register with the computer"

"different colours and significant time lapse"

"it is too small for normal adult hands it's much smaller than something like the classic microsoft mouse and it feels sounds and looks flimsy"

"recently it developed a slight problem think it is with the dongle so am happy the same item is still available"

"it works great consumes little battery it's compact ok so it's not a comfortable as a "full size" desktop mouse but it's more portable and the scroll wheel has a nice soft ratchety action so you don't scroll by accident when you middle click"

"i had the apple magic mouse before but it felt too flat for my hand and gave me hand aches!"

"at times would stop working and had to remove battery"

"my only gripe is the central wheel that feels a bit stiff and scratchy when used"

"so now after more than 4 years of use 8 hours a day the right key of the mouse started having some issues meaning that still works fine but you need to press it harder to work"

"we have purchased a couple of these logitech mouse and they have been fine but this one was not very well manufactured as the outer remained in the usb port when trying to remove"

"seems to be a slight design fault not seen on other logitec mice"

"only gave it 4 stars because it's a bit scratchy used on a wooden desk without a mouse mat"

"first disappointment: it is quite small and therefore sits quite uncomfortably in the hand perhaps this was noted somewhere in the description but i certainly did not see this "

"the little dongle into the laptop is barely noticed"

"the new mouse in my house is a charming little chap"

"all have failed after about a year give or take the first two with switch bounce on the left button the most used obviously but way under the 8m clicks quoted somewhere"

"9cm logitech mouse through the packaging i had to 'crimp' my hand a little which would become tiring eventually"

"terrible thing to use far too much effort involved to simply get the cursor to a position where i could click to select and the extra movement to achieve that highlights the sound of the battery cover beneath rattling about on the mouse pad"

"then without warning it starts jumping around again"

"we have only had this mouse for 5 months and it is no longer working"

"secondly the on off switch recess is not easily reached by my short finger nails"

"the wi fi 'dongle' has it's own compartment within the battery compartment so it doesn't get lost in transit"

"it arrived in that awful plastic bubble packaging that you need to cut and therefore damage your scissors with"

"back to the drawing board dissatisfied of wythall"

"purchase mouse early january this failed after a few days"

"i have arthritic hands so am unable to take the thing apart"

"it looks as tacky in real life as it does in the photo"

"i thought it died after i dropped it but in the end it was battery"

"there is no gaming rating as not used for gaming so unable to rate"

"money wasted"

"this prevents its use and renders the product useless"

"sadly the wheel on that one has lost it's contact"

"stopped working just after the return period and the returned process is terrible"

"previous wireless models have been useless however so am hoping for a better result this time"

"doesn't work particularly well especially when you have to drag the pointer up or down on the screen and the little scroll is a bit stiff"

"i should have waited"

"the on off switch is so small it is difficult to work"

"the wheel seems less granular and the whole item is lighter more fragile feeling"

"sadly the wheel on that one has lost it's contact"

"there are others on the market much more whizz bang techie than this model but it does all that i want it to"

"waste of money"

"so i undid my original order and sure enough there it was and i cancelled my return"

"the only problem i found was it came with flat batteries which i cleverly exchanged for different flat batteries and convinced myself it was broken!"

"issues on installation make me question the “plug and play” nature of this device"

"now i can’t return it because it is difficult to find"

"previous design had on off switch positioned differently where one didn't have to hold it near the buttons and did not cause this problem"

"didnt last more than a month even after installing new batteries it refused to wprk"

"not a battery problem i have replaced twice"

"and no longer in danger of strangling myself with unwanted wiring"

"the mouse worked intermittently basically rendering it useless"

"it’s not that clear so just in case you think it’s missing"

"no good asking for a review when i cannot use it because the receiver is missing!"

"i do have a good pc and tried the mouse on this machine but it also had the same issues"

"then i wondered if the battery connection was correct as it just seemed to me to be very slack"

"if i remove receiver it works for a bit then stops again changed battery but still no good"

"mostly i work in a comfortable chair and use the cloth arm for the mouse pad it's never been a problem until i had this"

"this is advertised as compatible with mac but the new macbook air doesn't have a standard sized usb so this doesn't fit"

"i have wasted time contacting them because i thought it was missing"

"to say that i'm annoyed would be a bit of an understatement"

"at least this one doesn't need have a "unifying receiver" which i have been finding to be more likely to fail than the "basic" one that comes with this mouse"

"this was great for the first few days then it failed"

"tried with brand new batteries as well does not work"

"mouse started working again after two days still not impressed"

"does not have soft paddles underneath so makes a lot of noise when being dragged"

"the nano usb transmitter has a low profile and does no catch on anything when i put my laptop into its neoprene cover for travel which means i dont even have to unplug it"

"mouse is too small for anyone with normal sized hands i have dainty hands and it even feels awkward for me"

"only minor point in my opinion is that it does not have light indicator to indicate if it is switched on or battery running low"

"logitech dont answer emails so it will come back to you shortly unless ai gt a receiver that will work with this mouse"

"i didn't have to worry about pairing due to the clever little usb widget"

"this is very irritating when you are trying to do something that requires precise clicks"

"it responds on virtually all surfaces without having to worry about a mouse mat if you wish"

"all inexplicably stopped lighting up the optical part underneath would not switch on"

"1 poor packaging i am amazed that did not arrive damaged 2 worn signs in the mouse's bottom it seems pre used 3 not compatible with logitechs unifier receiver 4 tiny for my hand at least"

"there's an on off button at the bottom to prevent the battery from running out when not in use"

"so first of all i did not open the package!"

"my first met an untimely end in an unfortunate accident when i dropped my laptop and the usb receiver shattered"

"plug and play says it all once the small wifi usb is removed from the mouse and plugged into a usb port on the computer"

"as i was ordering replacement on amazon i noticed in the description that the little plug was tucked away inside the mouse"

"it doesn't feel quite the quality my last mouse did but for the price who's complaining!"

"this mouse is ok and for the price i dont think you can complain the only down side for me is the fact that the click is quite loud which is ok if its you thats using it but when someone else is clicking away it ca be irritating "

"but unfortunately i find the mouse quite uncomfortable as it is too high under my palm compared to the 345"

"this was my second purchase of this item having returned the first one a few days earlier because it did not work"

"unfortunately it only worked for 6 weeks then just stopped"

"i would honestly buy another the same model if i had a problem with this one"

"i cannot arrange for collection from home either without incurring charges when it is their fault the item is faulty"

"would not recommend"

"i have been using a logitech m185 wireless mouse since 2011 and never had a problem with it i only needed to replace the batteries every 18 months or so"

"initially thought it was too small but now i prefer it to my other larger mouse that i use for work"

"delivered 5 mins ago ripped it out of packet pulled battery tag out plugged usb dongle in worked immediately nice quality great value for less than a tenner"

"so i changed the battery for one of my own but it still did not work"

"it picks up normal mouse controls from windows almost instantly but note that if it the facility is not already set up the double click facility on the scroll wheel will not be available"

"i’ve solved this by disconnecting and connecting the usb a few times but it’s annoying"

"now after many years the scroll wheel is starting to fail"

"now there is only a on off writing which is hard to see"

"my one concern was that because i have large hands this might be too small and be uncomfortable"

"perhaps it is intended that it is never turned off simply change the battery when it dies?"

"i will be requesting a refund and returning"

"cant comment on gaming as i don't use it for that and unable to comment on battery life as only had it a week"

"with all this in mind i would still order another one without hesitation as and when my current mouse meets it ultimate demise at the hands of my cumbersome activities"

"very poor build quality loud clicking and loose scroll wheel"

"as per the headline this particular mouse was "ordered in error" because i then found i already had spare one but i will be keeping this unit because i am really very happy with the design and it's always good to have another spare!"

"also generally feels very flimsy and cheap would not recommend at all !"

"it was a great help since my other mouse broke had no spare and was concerned about recurring rsi while waiting for it to arrive"

"wouldn’t recommend sadly and can’t find how to contact the seller to try and get a replacement sent"

"my last wireless mouse was giviong up the ghost and being very erratic and i suspected it of affecting my laptops performance"

"have bought logitech many times but this mouse is disappointing"

"this mouse does not do anything too fussy but it is comfortable to work with and really suit my needs and expectations from a wireless mouse"

"undo the single screw in the battery enclosure and take the cover off and re seat the optical sensor on its little locator tab"

"considering the covid 19 virus dispatch and delivery was quick and professional "

"major disappointment: it stopped working 6 weeks in this mouse is sitting on a desk in an office i"

"you have to contact the manufacturer directly who never come back to you"

"there is a cubby hole in the battery compartment to store the dongle when it is not in use"

"i cannot arrange for collection from home either without incurring charges when it is their fault the item is faulty"

"they last forever i only had to replace them in the past due to losing them never because they stopped working"

"this is not a setting not a speed of travel adjustment this is hyperspace disappear from one location and just appear in another it makes the mouse unusable it means you have to buy another mouse and this time not logitech!"

"it's not keen on shiny reflective surfaces"

"i have an older version of this very same mouse but grey plastic not blue!"

"it was dropped bumped knocked and still it performed as it did when new"

"my previous review was removed from amazon and i do not know why so here is a new one to the point"

"i don't regret my purchase though and that's only something small"

"possibly a technical issue but disappointing for a device that's sold as plug 'n' play"

"only 1 aa battery required and the battery seems to last longer in this mouse than others i've had"

"my touch pad on my laptop stopped responding making the laptop unuseable"

"my original 10 year old logitech wireless mouse stopped working so i used a spare wired one until i could replace it"

"the last one i had the left mouse button failed that is why i have had to buy quite a few of them"

"its pretty similar but i do have a couple of criticisms"

"i don't expect the one that works to last very long"

"this is not a setting not a speed of travel adjustment this is hyperspace disappear from one location and just appear in another it makes the mouse unusable it means you have to buy another mouse and this time not logitech!"

"the main irritation is that this one only takes one aa battery whilst the old one took two"

"returned the first one over a month ago and still nothing"

"this was returned or will be as soon as the courier arrives now five days anyway the reason i am returning the first one is because when it is "switched on" tiny switch on the base of the "mouse" the light does not light up therefore due to poor eyesight and not being able to see clearly the "on off" button on the base i don't know if the mouse is actually on or off"

"i had the apple magic mouse before but it felt too flat for my hand and gave me hand aches!"

"i had an old wired mouse which resolved the immediate problem but the wire always seemed to be in the way and was to say the least sensitive to being in exactly the right position to work"

"hardly worth the effort and cost to try and return it to logitech so just wasted money"

"this is a basic mouse makes lots of noise especially the roller button its giving me wrist pain if you're sensitive i would suggest going for an ergo mouse"

"the usb fits inside the mouse when it’s time to pack up so you don’t loose it this is especially handy i bought this mouse as i had lost the last one’s usb!"

"of course i've switched the power to "on" but the red light fails to come on"

"i've tried putting in a new battery but still it fails to work"

"if you have large hands you may find it too small for comfort hence 4 rather than 5 stars"

"even for my fat fingers it feels much to lumpy and unshapely"

"i now have to return the item"

"i agonised over buying a corded mouse or wireless i'd read some bad reviews about wireless mouse s mice?"

"i've been using it for a while now and can say that it isn't actually fragile in use but that wheel is really awful to use"

"all in all a waste of money"

"but not as shiny metallic red as in the pictures more dull maroon"

"takes only one aa battery so not sure how long it will last"

"i only use it for work and not gaming so can't comment if it's any good for that purpose"

"has battery fitted and works straight out of packaging"

"instead i rely on the power saving"

"it's probably more suited to a child or dainty little adult than a regular sized bloke"

"0 is only months old"

"it’s really ergonomic the battery life it’s awesome but it doesn’t for games"

"unfortunately unpacking and pulling out tag for the battery the item did not work"

"packed in a blister pack with easy opening at back what a joy not to get the scissors out to extract from packaging"

"not sure about gaming as i'm not a gamer"

"which means they are ok but do not last very long"

"it only requires 1 aa battery which is included hence the lighter weight of the mouse"

"i invited him around as the last one was crap"

"avoid these crap mice"

"this mouse is even too small to throw and hit a pigeon annoying you with it!"

"as a mouse it is working well but it's ridiculously small!"

"my only beef is that it is so tiny it makes my hand start to cramp up after a while"

"i have used a cordless mouse before and there is no reason why this should not work as well"

"worked straight off standard basic mouse shape so could be a little more ergonomic but it's not bad"

"it's my fault though i didn't read the description!"

"due to pandemics i cannot speak to retailers"

"+ did not require any install"

"i didn’t get chance use this mouse the usb was not in package tried ringing manufacturer couldn’t get through"

"despite being listed on the same page as a mouse with the unifying receiver this blue one does not have it"

"every pc in the house four of them has one won't use anything else"

"after the missus had bought a few "made in china" products which later died i decided to invest in a quality make and a model that wouldn't break the bank"

"wanted a new mouse as fed up of wired ones and as i'm always on the move i wanted something i could fit in my bag with minimal worry"

"it's not the sensor because the buttons and scroll wheel didn't work either"

"so why did i not contact amazon?"

"i am trying to return my order!"

"had it a couple of months often forgetting to turn it off if ever!"

"sometimes has issues tracking my movements the bare basics for a mouse"

"never buy this mouse the photo of the package shows the usb transmitter it doesnt come in the package so annoyed wont work without it even though tried swapping for new battery !"

"if i could i would give zero stars"

"the supplied m185 mouse does work with the supplied receiver which is very odd"

"unless amazon can ensure that the product is dispatched as fully described and complete it will not work"

"will not buy again"

"won't buy logitech again"

"i do not recommend for gamers"

"i was promised many times and it won't happen again!"

"i am on the go moving from the client site to the work site and was fed up using the trackpad"

"i won't switch brands again!"

"product arrived without the nano receiver looks as if the packeting has a facility to contain it a small bulge on the back however it was empty"

"if you have large hands this may be a little small for you?"

"it not a big problem though and is only an issue if i'm trying draw something with it"

"took it out of the box plugged the small transmitter into my usb port turned on the mouse and it was fully working"

"plugged the receiver in a usb port and away it went"

"probably for the same reasons as why it doesn't work on glass but not a problem as far as i'm concerned"

"the product was delivered fully sealed but with no usb inside the sealed manufacturers package"

"only drawback for me is the scrolling wheel is a little noisy and not as smooth as my first logitech i bought"

"only minor point in my opinion is that it does not have light indicator to indicate if it is switched on or battery running low"

"have not tried it with games but would providing they are low spec it shouldn't be a problem"

"buying cheap mice just magnified the problems"

"however i wouldn't recommend it and am looking to replace it myself"

"i had an old wired mouse which resolved the immediate problem but the wire always seemed to be in the way and was to say the least sensitive to being in exactly the right position to work"
