I bought 3 off Amazon & had to return them all because they stopped working. I spent $15 on the first, then $25-30 for the other two. Any suggestions for a GOOD one that's not breaking the bank? Thanks!

(In case you're wondering, a vertical mouse looks like the photo I attached.)

Seriously? 3 'stopped working'? That's very odd.
Are you buying name brands?

I've never seen mouse like that. Not quite the same buy I love my MX Master. It's large and some similar features to the "vertical mouse". Difficult to see in pictures but the right side does taper off so it's more natural position for your hand. If it was just a little bit bigger I'd be really happy. You know what they say about guys with big hands? They have a big mouse.



It has a free scroll wheel, it takes bit to get used to but I'll never buy a indexed one again(note you can switch to regular indexed wheel). The other big thing is you can pair it with three devices independently, I use it with two laptops and PC in same room. There is small button on the bottom to switch devices.

thecoalman, thanks. I'll see about that one, but for that high price, I can get the actual vertical type I really want.

Any other suggestions?

Not name brands, but when people buy things, they still expect them to work. I shouldn't be stuck w/ either Microsoft, HP, or some other major brand & that's it. I know we usually get what we pay for, but you'd think a $25-30 range price would still be good enough. I shouldn't have to pay $50+ for a mouse just for it to work.

That's discounted, think I paid close to a $100 when I bought mine but that was a few years back.



It has a lot features.... most I don't use LOL. The features it does have I already mentioned only come in higher end mice. If you never used free scroll wheel, trust me you'll never go back.



It supports gestures like you have on phone for example but I have never used it. That scroll wheel by thumb scrolls left and right but I always forget it's there. Left/right scroll wheel is also button that defaults to previous page that I only use when I accidentally hit it. There is few other hidden buttons.

You absolutely should be buying name brand peripherals.

Anker is a name brand:

I promise if you would have spent $90 on a premium Logitech it would be the last one you ever buy. How is that not worth it?

Can't speak for a mouse, but I have an Anker wireless charger for quite some time and it has never failed. Also their earbuds are rated quite high; especially for the price.

Never heard of Anker, but there are TONS of reviews, so I'll take my 4th chance & get it. Thank you!

A poster named 5-all asked me how that Anker brand vertical mouse is. It's still working fine these days. Thanks for leaving your username in the message, otherwise, I wouldn't know who was asking.

Thanks. I know Anker makes good power banks. Time to give their vertical mouse a try.
