Welcome to my second review: the Anker Vertical Mouse, with even
more crappy pictures!
POTATOES!
This is it:
Soon.
As you guys can see, it's a little 'taller' than regular mouses!
That is because it's verical!
Let's begin with it's technical specs:
Resolution: It has two: 1000 and 1600 DPI, which are changeable by pressing a button.
OS capability: I've tried it in Linux, but Amazon swears it works on Mac and Windows too.
Life: 1 million
dollars clicks. Therefore, not Cherries in it.
Now, let's compare it with a regular mouse, in this case my Razer DeathAdder:
Holy crap, that mouse is dirty!
As you can see, it's way taller. That has a bad aspect: I keep karate chopping the mouse when I move my hand to use it. It is kinda fun but also annoying.
You may ask, what is the difference? Is it just taller? Nope. You hold it differently:

You hold the reg. mouse with your palm down... | while you hold the Anker with your palm to turned to side. |
That makes it more ergonomic. It is more comfortable to move your hand that way than moving it sideways with the regular mouse. It took me a while to get used to move the mouse up and down, however, because you actually need to move your arm a bit or hold it with your fingers flexed and unflex them. That made it a bit awkward to use the mouse with 1000DPI, as I needed to move it too much to get a decent displacement of the cursor.
Moving it sideways is amazing, nevertheless. It is much better than twisting my wrist.
TL;DR
The BingeMouse is quite comfortable, but it takes a while to get used to. It can be used to do (regular non professional for fun) gaming just fine (I played Dota and Klondlike). Karate chopping the Anker is a bit annoying, though. I highly recommend it, though. It's more ergonomic than a regular mouse, and way cheaper than a decent trackball (as it costs 12 bucks).
