If you’ve developed wrist strain after years of using traditional mice, you may want to try using a vertical mouse. These taller, radically angled devices are designed to be held like you’re giving a light handshake. They’re not cure-alls: you’ll still want to keep your wrist straight, hold the mouse lightly, and make movements from your elbow, among other best practices, either way. But the idea is that the vertical design can make practicing those good ergonomics more natural. If you have to retrain your muscle memory to alleviate joint pain anyway, it may be easier to do so with an entirely new form factor, even if it means getting through a learning curve for the mouse itself.

We've converted this review to Test Bench 1.4. This update modifies our Hand Size Recommendation test, adding a more granular hand size recommendation chart. We've moved several minor tests into different test groups, removed the Travel usage, and added a new Raw Performance usage. For more details, you can see our full changelog here.

We've added a link to the newly-reviewed Logitech MX Anywhere 3S in the Portability section of this review. The best mouse for most people is the Logitech MX Master 3. It’s not cheap, but its design and versatility are befitting of a high-end accessory. It’s supremely comfortable, first and foremost, with an ample thumb rest, a gentle slope for your middle three fingers, and a slight flare-out for the pinky. There’s a significant hump at the mouse’s base, but holding it, the design feels like it was sculpted with a hand fitted around it. It works excellently for both palm and claw grips, and while it’s relatively weighty, the heft adds to its premium feel. So does its finish, which is plastic, but hard, textured, and grippy.Razer’s Synapse software is another suite that isn’t exactly known for its robustness, but we didn’t encounter any major issues in testing, and the app itself makes it relatively easy to adjust RGB patterns, CPI presets, polling rate, and the like. The version the Viper Ultimate uses is only supported on Windows, unfortunately, though it’s not like macOS is much of a gaming platform to begin with. The mouse itself can store up to five settings profiles on its own internal memory.

Ele tem a possibilidade de personalizar alguns botões laterais, mas sou muito leiga para isso (kkkkk) e nunca cheguei a personalizar. To use the mouse, you can plug in the Unifying receiver and be up and running. Or, you can pair it with a host via Bluetooth. To do the latter, just tap and hold the third button on the mouse to initiate the Bluetooth pairing process. Scrolling: Idk why everyone else hates it, but I love the scrolling on this. I like using the free-scrolling where I just rol it and let it go for a second or two. But it is also really easy to just switch to traditional scrolling bit by bit.Speaking of sensitivity, the Viper Ultimate has a massive CPI range of 100cpi to 20,000cpi: that maximum is overkill for just about anything, per usual, but you can adjust the CPI in increments of 50, which is fairly granular. A button that lets you switch between five CPI presets is located on the bottom of the mouse, which we don’t mind since it’s tougher to accidentally press in the heat of a game. Latency, meanwhile, is more or less imperceptible when you connect the mouse to Razer’s USB receiver. We tested the Viper Ultimate alongside Razer’s wired Viper mouse, and while it may sound hyperbolic, we think most people would be hard-pressed to notice any difference between this and a quality wired option.

The trade-off is that a mouse this big may not be comfortable for those with especially small hands. There’s also no left-handed option, which is unfortunately common for heavily sculpted mice in general. Still, most people should find the MX Master 3 a treat. Despite the curve being more pronounced than on the Logitech M330 Silent Plus , we found it worked well for our fingers to splay over the buttons. In fact, we liked how long and smooth the button mechanism was: We could push with the whole length of our finger, which in turn took stress off our joints. The Microsoft Surface Mobile Mouse is a solid secondary or travel mouse. It's highly portable without most of the design trappings that usually come with mobile-first mice. The more we used the M720 Triathlon, the more we appreciated this mouse, despite its limitations. Read on to find out why. Design and Features The M720 measures 4.5 by 2.9 by 2 inches and weighs 5 ounces. And, as we noted above, the mouse's design is right-handed only. Setup, Usability, and ImpressionsCorsair’s Harpoon RGB Wireless is a solid choice if you want a more pronounced arch than that of the Logitech G305 Lightspeed, Bluetooth support, and a rechargeable battery. But the G305’s sensor performs just as well in an ambidextrous design we found more comfortable to use over time. DUAL CONNECTIVITY - Use with up to three Windows or Mac computers and laptops via included Unifying receiver or Bluetooth Smart wireless technology Connectivity: I love having my USB ports open as often as possible, so using bluetooth is a must have. So far, I've had zero issues connecting. The second my computer is on, and the instant I flip the switch under the mouse, I'm up and running with no lag. Im sure the connection would be even better with the USB dongle, but like I said, I like to keep the ports open. I also switch between using my laptop/desktop for school and work. Using the 1-2-3 button for devices has also been seamless.

Following the update to Test Bench 1.2, some of our test results have changed within both the Weight and CPI sections. We've added or modified some of the text in this article to clarify these changes.With the top and front sheath removed, a panel on the bottom of the PC can also be removed, revealing dual SODIMM RAM slots and an M.2 PCIe SSD slot. Getting everything down to the skeleton like this only takes about a minute, so future upgrades should be as painless as possible. That latter toggle-and-connect button is the one that switches the mouse's connection among the three possible connected devices. The Logitech MX Verticalis an excellent choice if you're interested in a vertical mouse. It's thoughtfully designed and naturally helps alleviate wrist strain during the workday.
