The intersection of class, comfort and functionality. A mouse for the 21st century.

Comfortable and classy.
Tired of using the traditional grip? Take a break from overly-clunky or uncomfortably tiny mice. The ergonomically-designed thumb rests and grips fit the contour of your palm for maximum comfort. 

Sleek and Sexy.
Turn heads with a futuristic design. Made for increased functionality and comfort, this mouse combines a handshake grip with easy-access buttons and three levels of mouse sensitivity (800 / 1200 / 1600DPI) for improved tracking.

Easy-access use.
Five buttons give you improved control over your computer's systems. Whether dragging and dropping, selecting large volumes of data, or casually gaming, this mouse provides a low-cost, effective solution for multiple computing needs.

Compatibility:
Windows 10 / 8 / 7 / Vista / XP / 2000
Linux
Mac OS X (The previous/next page thumb buttons are not recognized on the Mac OS X.)
PROS:
1)My wrist isn't killing me anymore
2)It's comfortable, though I wish it was slightly more upright. My hand is still tilted and I ended up getting an angled mousepad (https://www.amazon.com/ASP26226-Allsop-Wrist-Ergonomic-Circular/dp/B0035NHU4S/ref=sr_1_3) to adjust for that.
3) The cursor tracking action is _fairly_ smooth and sort of precise, though they could keep working on this.
4)Battery life has been tremendous. I'm going on 3 months on the same batteries, I think, and I use this mouse like 10 hours a day, 5 days a week.
5)Looks nice.
6)Wireless - I'm so pleased to have all this in a wireless mouse.
7) Very nice to hold. It feels very natural in my hands (average size hands)
8)Wireless is always a nice aspect to have
9)the ability to switch DPI with a button that is not easily accidentally hit while using the mouse is very nice, especially when switching between games that are FPS to MOBAs or other games
10) A forward and backward page button that can be rerouted for in game usage
11) clicks easily,Well built,comfortable,no wrist strain,mouse cursor moves accurately and smoothly,nice small dongle,dongle fits in base of mouse when not in use on/off switch
easy to change batteries
12)it's just a good solid mouse,it glides, it points, it's accurate enough for work and gaming, the battery life and receiver quality are reasonable
13)It's got great battery life.It's plug and play without extra software.,Takes all the strain off of your forearm and wrist area.
CONS:
 
1)When I ordered this vertical mouse at first glance it appeared to be great even though I could not click on things with precision not related to my thumb of course because with this one you click with the index finger the same as a regular mouse. I thought it would be a matter of mastering the new vertical device which I did. Now that I have mastered the control of it including the vertical angel, the wheel with the middle finger, the back \ forward buttons with the thumb as well as the DPI button I clearly started to notice that it miss clicks so I have to click twice quite often. The wheel started to feel weird when scrolling and it is not as precise as it was weeks ago including it being very hard to click if you want to scroll with the wheel... so hard that I end up with the cursor on a different part of the screen.
2)The click and select functions are buggy. Especially if something is already selected, it can be difficult to unselect it. Randomly, clicking on things can be tricky too. This is mostly only annoying, but it is the reason I'm not giving this mouse 5 stars.
3)The top button - I don't know what that is for. I'm on a Mac so maybe the functionality just doesn't work on a Mac, but that's kinda hinky.
4)The battery light always makes it look like it's low on batteries.
5)When moving the mouse around a lot, it's easy to kind of lose grip of it because you hold the mouse with a pinching force between your thumb and other fingers. Because of this, it can occasionally slide forward in your grip while gaming. I would love to see an anti slip feature added in a new version if one ever gets made
6)Only two re programmable buttons are available on the side of the mouse, but I suppose if there were more it would be difficult to hold without hitting a button accidentally
7)grease/ oils from the finger show on the mouse very easily ( although they can be wiped off with a bit of work)
8)If you're hoping for the red LED light to be on all the time, it isn't. It's only lit up when you initially turn the mouse on
9)The mouse is a strange shape for keeping in something like a laptop bag/ case
10)In games, a lot of muscle memory is thrown out the window and you have to relearn where your hand is spatially for games. This being said, once you do learn how to use this mouse, it is very comfortable to play with.
11)Sometimes clicking the buttons (in particular the 'left mouse button') doesn't register so you need to do it twice. I may just no be clicking it hard enough. This is the sole reason I've docked it one star.Because of the height of the mouse, it is way too easy to knock the mouse off your desk (or wherever you're using it). I've done it a dozen times already, and my co-worker has had the same problem (and he's been using his for a year). So don't use it on hard surfaces (like tile or concrete) unless you want to buy a new one. So far, no problems after its landed on carpet a dozen times.
12)You need a good pair of fingernails to pull the dongle out of it's storage slot in the mouse, but it is small enough that you never really need to remove it from your PC or laptop.
13)bluetooth would be nice, the thumb buttons could be a little further forward to require less thumb movement to hit, weight options are always appreciated, this mouse is on the lighter side
