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

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

"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"

"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"

"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"

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

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

"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"

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

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

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

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

"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"

"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"

"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"

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

"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!"

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

"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"

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

"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"

"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"

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

"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"

"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"

"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 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!"

"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"

"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"

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

"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 "

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

"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"

"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"

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

"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"

"worked as expected with everyday use cases photoshop reception gaps are especially annoying here and was adequate for non precision games as well"

"very disappointed"

"the only issue is the dongle is weak"

"looks far more expensive than what it is and it's so comfortable to hold"

"i was after a cheap product to use when watching videos from my sofa 2m distance from the system "

"the only problem is that when you move it around it is very slow with following it"

"for a cheap mouse i find this one extremely easy to use its comfortable the buttons are very responsive and it connected straight away on my chrome book it looks very nice as well"

"had one of these before used it for about 4 months before the clicker on left wouldn't work"

"i was a bit nervous getting this to work with my mac but needn't have worried"

"this is a nice mouse easy to hold silent scrolling clicks but sadly after just over a month of use it has stopped working"

"though it's working alright and looks very nice"

"while my experience with these mice so far has been terrible i do thank the seller for their cooperation and support during the arising issues with the first mouse their quality of communication however does not bring down nor bring up the rating i'll be giving as i am reviewing the product and not the seller or delivery time like some do"

"it's cheap so i don't expect a lot but i can't live with the soft spongey and silent right click button as there's no feedback whatsoever to indicate that the click has been executed and there's almost no travel on the button so the difference between a click and not clicking is about 1mm"

"i even dropped it on a concrete floor and it did not fall apart!"

"inserted connectivity dongle to my mac fitted battery to mouse turned it on and it worked immediately"

"one of the most blatant problems is when you told down the left mouse to select something it struggles to hold down making you have to select several times"

"bluetooth receiver still works but no data is passed to pc making this a very useless still cute paperweight"

"was only shopping for a cheap spare to carry around but m impressed by how quiet it is can barely hear it!"

"changed the batteries but still behaves erratically"

"it doesn't come with a battery but most of us have a spare aa battery somewhere"

"i bought this because the mouse port on my new laptop was in an awkward place and i thought wireless would be more convenient"

"another issue is that for some reason the mouse will stop working even though the battery on it is full"

"spent ages looking at various alternatives thinking this can not be very good for how cheap it is but gave it a chance due to the many good reviews"

"although light comes on the move cursor never moved"

"have recently started using it so may be have a different views after a few days months but for now it’s working well"

"i had a minor issue with it but it was resolved immediately by the company and i cannot fault their customer service"

"mouse is now malfunctioning slight movements when i’m not moving the mouse insensitive to small movements moves in the other direction for small movements you get the idea"

"zero rating"

"they switch off when idle and come to life on a button press which means the single aa battery last for ages"

"this one is a usb 3 wireless mouse with standard aa battery"

"i bought this for my brother as he was using a wired noisy clicking mouse"

"however it's not actually silent there is a small click on each press of the mouse buttons which is still loud enough to disturb someone trying to get to sleep unfortunately"

"not working as it needs to is an obvious flaw"

"also after about half a year of being put in and taken out of my bag there are some noticeable scuffs on the vinyl where the paint has been scraped off it's not awful but it doesn't look great"

"sometimes the mouse randomly turns off or drops its connection when i try to drag items on my screen"

"plug in one aa battery plug in the usb transmitter and it started working after a 3 second ponder"

"the first few months it was great but i noticed it started to become unresponsive after around 4 months"

"it's not silent but it's a much less obnoxious and loud noise than other mouses"

"it can now only be used for 5 mins at a time before it loses control and begins to veer the mouse off of the screen"

"feels like a premium product of much higher value requires 0 set up and appears to track on almost any surface"

"it arrived the next day as promised and once i'd tracked down a battery and plugged in the little dongle* i was up and running"

"however they will randomly pair with someone else's usb i"

"the mouse needs a very flat hard mousepad it took me a while to realise this i thought it wasn't working at first"

"have also tried with many different computers and laptops to see if it was a laptop device issue but still didn't work"

"after a month the mouse stopped responding completely"

"for this price i can't complain too much and i just got unlucky but it worked well and now i don't want to go back to the trackpad on my laptop"

"so if you have a mouse problem don't get caught in an apple mouse trap for 8 quid this will free you and even if it only last for a year you have 12 years of these before you get to the cost of the micky mouse"

"the sleep mode is just annoying because it doesn't wake up again"

"performs really well but be wary of using it without a mouse pad because even small grooves in the desk will throw the laser off"

"unsure as to if it's my laptop doubtful the batteries i'm using over the few i've used and tested with decently sized remaining charge none of them seemed to fix the stuttering i experience or perhaps just a fault with the mouse connectivity likely as taking the batteries out and putting them back in changes nothing but the red laser light on the bottom "

"after several years persisting with an apple trackpad and prior to that an apple magic mouse which fell apart as soon as you looked at it i decided on advice to buy this mouse"

"i have smallish hands so i did some research and found a website that explains how to measure your hand and the dimensions you should be looking for"

"you don't need a mouse mat either so enables a very minimal desk setup"

"bought this purple version like a week before lockdown and it never arrived"

"often found noisy mouse and keyboard irritating particularly from a fast typist sitting right next to me :o "

"i’ve even dropped it 3 times now in the first week of using it and it seems to be solid as a rock!"

"will be sending it back for sure"

"last forever"

"goes to sleep after a certain time period so you need to wake it up by clicking otherwise you might wonder why it isnt moving"

"resorted to buying a new microsoft one again which so far hasn’t caused any issues"

"worked well at the beginning but after about 2 weeks so the connection began cutting out"

"the only thing is it is soooo noisy on the scroll wheel "

"unsure as to if it's my laptop doubtful the batteries i'm using over the few i've used and tested with decently sized remaining charge none of them seemed to fix the stuttering i experience or perhaps just a fault with the mouse connectivity likely as taking the batteries out and putting them back in changes nothing but the red laser light on the bottom "

"it's also quite easy to remove the battery cover"

"to be honest it was a superficial purchase just because it looked nicer than the chunky black one i already had!"

"bought this purple version like a week before lockdown and it never arrived"

"read a review which suggested this was an excellent wireless mouse i was a disappointed the click is a bit indistinct and the mouse often lost connection with the laptop even if you have only just taken your hand off the mouse"

"sometimes the mouse randomly turns off or drops its connection when i try to drag items on my screen"

"wireless mice in the shops always seem to be the wrong shape for my hand"

"always find choosing a mouse painful due to an old shoulder injury"

"but just today february 2019 its just stopped working and i have tried 2 different brand new batteries and nothing is working"

"for this price i can't complain too much and i just got unlucky but it worked well and now i don't want to go back to the trackpad on my laptop"

"ok it's cheap plastic but that also means it's light"

"it is now at a point where it is almost unusable it just stops working even with the red light sensor on"

"but lately no matter how many time i change the batteries etc it has just become incredibly annoying to use"

"the mouse is silent far less annoying for myself and anyone around me"

"plug and pay without any issues just one thing to point out it is very low profile so if you prefer a bigger mouse it may not be for you would definitely recommend"

"very disappointed that this arrived with the usb receiver missing ergo useless"

"this is so comfy to use stylish and has made my new laptop a joy to use even i thought all hope was lost"

"very temperamental after a week or so using it hard to wake up from sleep mode and lot of the times it’s hard to navigate on pages does not react appropriately too many times it’s becoming a nuisance "

"i'd return but i'd stupidly thrown away the box"

"it took a couple of minutes to install itself and now is working so smoothly and effectively that i completely forgot i had a new mouse"

"it is slightly bigger than my previous one but that doesn't really hinder me in anyway"

"worked as expected with everyday use cases photoshop reception gaps are especially annoying here and was adequate for non precision games as well"

"so i took the batteries out and put them back in again same issue and then at some point the red laser wasn’t even on"

"i've been using this mouse for almost 2 months now and despite it's nice peacock design and how comfortable it is to use the mouse mechanically doesn't work well"

"who says cheap means bad in this day and age?"

"unable to return as now past the return date"

"i use it primarily for work and have done some light gaming with it too and it's all great"

"they just aren’t necessary"

"and i haven't replaced the battery since i bought it three months ago"

"it takes a lot to wake it back up and the sleep mode is ineffective because it still responds to clicking despite the mouse pointer not moving so god help you if it goes to sleep hovering over the like button on the wrong post on facebook for example"

"i am able to compare the two and the jelly comb mouse is not silent and was instead annoying as i am used to a silent mouse"

"after several years persisting with an apple trackpad and prior to that an apple magic mouse which fell apart as soon as you looked at it i decided on advice to buy this mouse"

"very frustrating when something arrives not working like happened to me but then it’s worse when you have to pay over £3 to send back a broken £9 gadget"

"only had it a few weeks so can't comment on battery life or durability just yet but even though i have large hands its not too small and although obviously plastic does not look out of place alongside my macbook air"

"the bluetooth receiver seems to be broken"

"the sensor work very well i had previously microsoft arc and the sensor is not that good when you are using it in bed"

"no software required no drivers no setup"

"the only issue is the dongle is weak"

"since then my is pairing randomly with other users mice which is intensely irritating and really poor"

"it was a good shape but not good for my small hands"

"bought this for use at work needed a silent mouse so i could continue working during some of the most tedious meetings even that i seem to get embroiled in!"

"i admit its not as fancy as an apple mouse for instance the ball roller does not turn 360 degrees but it doesn't matter to me"

"have also tried with many different computers and laptops to see if it was a laptop device issue but still didn't work"

"so if you have a mouse problem don't get caught in an apple mouse trap for 8 quid this will free you and even if it only last for a year you have 12 years of these before you get to the cost of the micky mouse"

"will be returning"

"worked as expected with everyday use cases photoshop reception gaps are especially annoying here and was adequate for non precision games as well"

"i was a bit dubious that the aesthetic design features of this mouse would have an impact on the use i needn't' have worried at all"

"i bought this at the start of january and thought it was great just over a month in it has a mind of its own and doesn’t sit still"

"i have never had this problem before with any wireless mouse"

"had to buy a new laptop after old one died"

"ordered a mouse with a roller ball action = it only moved forward and back not left to right as well"

"since then my is pairing randomly with other users mice which is intensely irritating and really poor"

"i was very hesitant to buy because it was a good price thought the quality may be compromised but great product"

"it's also accurate and fast and needs only one battery"

"i don’t use this for games but see no reason why it wouldn’t be good!"

"bought this for use at work needed a silent mouse so i could continue working during some of the most tedious meetings even that i seem to get embroiled in!"

"find the pad on laptop really irritating to use "

"the pointer would also move quite randomly and was often difficult to place"

"quite convenient for one the go and does not strain the hand"

"i would not purchase again"

"this thing just doesn't work for me"

"would not recommend at all"

"was only shopping for a cheap spare to carry around but m impressed by how quiet it is can barely hear it!"

"i have only used it for a couple of weeks so i cannot judge its durability but i am very pleased with it so far"

"i can use it for a very long time without feeling any discomfort"

"she did say it didn't work at first but if you press the button to release the bottom you will find the battery compartment and a usb receiver to plug into your pc"

"the mouse needs a very flat hard mousepad it took me a while to realise this i thought it wasn't working at first"

"when i tried it on my tv that was 7ft away it got a bit slow and it lost connection few times"

"unsure as to if it's my laptop doubtful the batteries i'm using over the few i've used and tested with decently sized remaining charge none of them seemed to fix the stuttering i experience or perhaps just a fault with the mouse connectivity likely as taking the batteries out and putting them back in changes nothing but the red laser light on the bottom "

"i may have gotten a faulty unit perhaps though i had told the seller about my issues to which they dispatched a replacement which has seemingly done the same"

"very disappointing as i had a similar mouse that worked fine for a couple of years"

"only complaint is it doesn't come with a battery which would be very annoying if you don't have one to hand"

"and we hate using the trackpads"

"product as advertised"

"waste of time an money"

"i admit its not as fancy as an apple mouse for instance the ball roller does not turn 360 degrees but it doesn't matter to me"

"surely it's a fault?"

"it was however a little bit weird getting used to a clickless mouse but it does have it's advantages if you don't want anyone to know what you are doing!"

"also like to point out anyone giving this 1 star because the usb is missing again they're wrong and haven't read the manual it's inside the mouse where the battery is"

"everyone in the office loves it however i noticed i have to turn it on and off a couple of times already as it freezes on the screen"

"edit: looks like the reception issues were a one off"

"i chose a bright red one for use with my laptop as i was forever forgetting the mouse and leaving it behind "

"alright ish for normal use however as a designer it was useless"

"bought to use with my chromebook and can't fault it thus far"

"the mouse does not come with a battery so make sure you have 1 aa around!"

"only lasted about 10 weeks before it died"

"after putting various different brands of batteries in i kept hoping the switching on and off of it would eventually go always just unfortunate i didn’t return this product earlier so i could’ve invested in a better one"

"the sides and the bottom being plastic does make it feel cheap"

"only used it a few days so cant speak for longevity but so far im happy and would purchase another one if needed"

"probably wouldn’t do for gaming but that’s not what i bought it for"

"the mouse is not used for gaming but goes to school every day with my son with his chromebook"

"only used twice and no longer works"

"it’s robust i’m always dropping it!"

"performs really well but be wary of using it without a mouse pad because even small grooves in the desk will throw the laser off"

"it arrived the next day as promised and once i'd tracked down a battery and plugged in the little dongle* i was up and running"

"popped the battery in put the doo dah into the back of the mac and away i went"

"however less than 3 weeks from taking it out of the box "

"the description says "silent" but when i received the mouse and started using it i found the left clicking sound was quite loud"

"the on off button is large enough to not need nails or be fiddly for those with big fingers"

"i bought this mouse in the middle of january but the other day it completely stopped working this was from moderate usage"

"i bought this to use with my mac mini to replace a faulty magic mouse"

"to me function is more important than fancy panda graphics"

"as a student i was particularly looking for something that wouldn't break the bank and this was a hopeful purchase usually i'm quite cynical about quality when the price is so low"

"i haven't really had time to play any games so i'm not sure how it would fare with gaming but this is not a gaming mouse"

"only arrived today not sure on longevity but may be surprised would certainly buy another"

"the mouse works well nice design and comfortable to use but tends to slip out of reality as does the money spent on it so watch out for that i guess"

"i love the feel of this mouse soft barely hear any clicks"

"one of the most blatant problems is when you told down the left mouse to select something it struggles to hold down making you have to select several times"

"only hesitance is that it feels like it scrolls in the wrong direction"

"the sleep mode is just annoying because it doesn't wake up again"

"very frustrating when something arrives not working like happened to me but then it’s worse when you have to pay over £3 to send back a broken £9 gadget"

"i did contact the seller for a refund but have not received a reply"

"bought this for my 6 year old niece so she can watch her cartoons on a very old laptop"

"it was only silent for 1 week"

"i've been using it for a few months and it's now making the mouse pointer jump all over the screen"

"i used it with a network video recorder which doesn't have the facility to install drivers or software easily so very pleased it just worked straight away!"

"i've purchased three of them now for different pcs and none have let me down"
