Trust Gaming Mouse GXT 144 Rexx, Vertical Ergonomic Mouse, 250-10,000 DPI, 6 Programmable Buttons, Advanced Software, Adjustable RGB Lighting, USB Computer Mouse for PC, Laptop, Windows, Mac - Black

Background: PC gamer with desk based job with wrists that have deteriorated to the point where a regular mouse is very uncomfortable to use. I have used gaming mice from all the major providers over the years, as well as some of the common ergonomic recommendations such as the Posturite Penguin and various iterations of trackballs.I had been eyeing up the Anker vertical mouse but was put off by the limited DPI selections and then I saw this. I paid £19.99 and honestly it is hard to find a fault with the mouse, particularly at this price. The shape is comfortable and does not cause me any wrist discomfort, it is easy to maintain a neutral non-gripping hand position and use the mouse effectively.The RGB strobe that it comes with out of the box is a minor irritation, but the software download available for the mouse allows it to be disabled. More importantly, the software allows customisation of the DPI (and to set colour indications for the different settings) and roles of each of the buttons, which can then be saved to the mouse. This works across computers, useful if you, like me, have a personal PC that you can install software on and a work PC that you cannot.The main buttons seem to have decent quality switches and a comfortable actuation pressure. The scroll wheel is adequate, not of the quality that you'd get on a high end mouse, but that's not what you're paying for here. I don't know what sensor is in the mouse, but it is good enough for FPS games and the sensor position under the hand feels natural, unlike with the Penguin mouse.TL;DR - if you have wrist issues and you're used to quality, software-customisable, gaming mice for whatever purpose, give this a shot. It would still be a good purchase at £40 and I hope the other companies follow suit with their own versions.

Excellent mouse and it has totally mitigated stress that I'd relate to developing carpal tunnel. There are moments that I find myself with an aching index finger, but I usually manage this by relaxing it a moment. It's probably a habit I have with this kind of mouse.I've been using it for FPS gaming and its manager offers great control, including programmable DPI settings (so its not just a toggle between presets that you can't change). The lights and everything are customizable so it's everything you'd need, really.It feels like it has a cheap plastic build but mine has persisted for over two years. I will say my right-click seemed like it might finally conk out on me a few months ago, but it works fine again. Not sure how it fixed itself but it works for me.If I could add anything to this mouse then it would be customisable weights. Sometimes it feels too light for my uses, but that's maybe more niche than is necessary to warrant adjusting it.The side buttons sometimes feel kind of flimsy, like they're sort of taped on the side of the mouse on the inside. This is definitely something I would fit more securely because I do often need to use them.My worst critique would be the inability to use several of the peripheral buttons with others. For instance, if I hold down either side button, then my PC won't register left or right clicks. Again, I've made workarounds for my uses, but it would be nice to know that this could be fixed. Unfortunately I gather it's a hardware problem rather than a software one.

I have spent weeks researching vertical mice, i've had an RSI for around a year, and this is the best gaming mouse out there. The only downside is it is wired but that is far less important than its features, which are. unmatched by other vertical mice.If this were a normal mouse it would probably be considered very mediocre compared to high end mice, but in the empty vertical mouse market this is the G Pro Superlight of vertical mice.I used a Superlight before switching and it was much easier than I expected to adapt to a vertical mouse, my aim was pretty much the same after a week, and i've been able to improve since, it's not a disadvantage.The mouse is, very importantly, comfortable. I've been able to recover from my RSI whilst playing multiple hours of FPS titles a day, alongside an ergonomic keyboard setup.I've had to replace this mouse once, the scroll wheel broke, it appears to be attached with a very fine socket.

I like the feel of it and is a better ergo fit than most gaming mice. 1000hz polling is good and there's lights on it that you can change colour and sequence if you want. It's corded which isn't a problem for me. It can be lifted without losing control which is good. The main downsides are that that the thumb position is quite low compared to my office ergo mice, not a very relaxed grip. But the main issue is that the thumb buttons can't be used at the same time as the finger buttons. A big problem for some games (can't binosnipe in WT with the standard layout, also crouch and do anything in a lot of games). I do wish it had a third finger buttons. I have office mice with this function but only at 125hz polling.Adding, I have since bought an Evoluent D. 250hz polling rate (could never tell the difference). 2 thumb buttons and the holy grail of the ring finger button ☺. Plus the thumb position is so much better.
