Perixx PERIMICE-719 Right-Handed Wireless Mini Vertical Mouse, 3 Level DPI

Admittedly, I've had this mouse for 4 hours but it's immediately proved to be exactly what I'm looking for. It's performance is 100% for office work, i.e. scrolling, pointing, clicking. Very smooth, nice adjustments on responsiveness, and completely silent minus a few of the specialty clicks. High quality matte finish feel and look. I work on my computer 50+ hrs/week ... for the company that sells this product where you are right now : ) ... and I've gone through several different ergonomically designed 'mice' - most recent was the Logitech "Lift" which is very popular. That and many like it are so heavy at the bottom and thin at the top you feel like you are fighting gravity constantly trying to hold and move the mouse without your hand slipping upward. I'll put it like this, do you want your hand shaped like a duck's beak for 50 hrs/week or a C grip? Hint, one of them is natural, one of them is not. Will also add the Logitech Lift and others like it look weird, they are not subtle. You better love the feel of that design to justify having it on your desk. The Perimice is just right, light and rounded enough for a proper grip. Price doesn't always translate to quality or experience and in this case, there's a pronounced difference. Spend $40 less for a better fitting product.

I figured it would take me a week to get used to this mouse setup in comparison to a traditional mouse. Took more like a half day and I had the movements and clicks down. So easy to use and has made a difference for my wrist tendinitis and wrist pain from mouse use.I specifically chose this mouse as other reviewers said it fit nicely in their smaller hands. I found it fit my hand perfectly being a 5’2” person with longer fingers yet in general smaller hands.

I started noticing pain in my right hand/wrist and figured I should get an ergonomic mouse before it gets worse. I tried a several different mice that friends and coworkers recommended, but none of them were comfortable. I'm 5'1" with small hands, so when I saw this "mini" ergonomic mouse, I immediately ordered it. It fits my hand perfectly and the pain is much better since using it. It also was very easy to get used to since the angle isn't too extreme. Only issue is that I sometimes have to toggle the on/off switch to get it working if it's been a few hours and my computer went to sleep.

I loved this mouse - great comfort, great value. Then, about two years after buying it, the scroll wheel stopped working reliably. It started going the opposite direction about a third of the time, or doing nothing when I was trying to scroll. It gets really frustrating after a while. In looking at new mice, I saw a Microsoft mouse in the same price point, where users reported the same problem. So this could be a typical failure point in less-expensive mice. It looks like you can have a good, cheap mouse for 1.5 - 2 years, then the scroll wheel will stop working well and you'll need to get a new mouse. I'm going to try for a higher price-point, and see if the Logitech Lift is more durable.

I have extremely small hands and use the mouse frequently. I like that this mouse was designed for small hands and it feels comfortable. I also like that it's has four buttons and is wireless. This is a plug and play a mouse therefore there are limited adjustments that can be made in Windows 10. It took a little while to get used to. I think that the overall design it is good the only problem I have with Perimice mini is that it feels a little light. It took me a long time looking at the specifications and the sizing of all the small vertical mice and this one seemed to be the best. I was thrown off by reviews that said that these it broke I have had this for about a month and it seems to be working fine. I tried previously the smallest size of the Evoluent right-handed mouse and it was too big. This mouse is still a little big for me so to make it easier for me to use I put some padding on it. This is like putting extra socks on your feet when shoes are too big. For the price this is a really good deal. It uses a AA battery and you should have extra on hand just in case. I found with a very high resolution UHD monitor it is best to use on the highest DPI setting. It would be nice for the us petite people to have a mini mini extra small version. I bought a new mouse pad just for optical mice, the old mouse pads felt gritty. It took longer than expected for delivery due to the C-Virus Crisis---since I needed it for work and my hands were hurting it would be helpful if Amazon asks if the product is needed for essential work.

**UPDATE 05/2023** Mouse stopped working. I replaced the AA battery already once before, but today, even with another fresh battery, there's no functionality. Very sad about the lack of longevity with this purchase. ======================= "One size does not fit all," is the best adage for searching for the most suitable small, vertical mouse. It's like trying on a pair of glasses: you have to try on many pairs, and the one you pick probably won't suit someone else. So it is with my search for the best mouse for me, and my small female hands. This mouse won out because it fit and didn't cause added distress or pain to my hand. The matte finish creates a nice soft texture to touch. The buttons near and above the thumb are easy to get to and don't accidentally 'get in the way'. The click is silent and soft. Searching for a new mouse has taught me to listen to my body's needs, and not necessarily the reviews of others. To each their own!

In just a few days, I feel better already.

I bought two of these mice for more comfort for my wrists. They worked great at first. They are indeed comfy for my small hands, and I had no issues with them for the first three months or so. Then, the mouse wheel began to cease reading correctly on one of them. The scroll wheel would begin not registering, or would jump up instead of down. I tried wiping the wheel, but it got too annoying to use. Now, the scroll wheels on both are not working. Unfortunately it's a function I use a lot at work and at home, so I'll be tossing both mice. I need to find one that will have a functional scroll wheel long-term. I know it's possible! My gaming mouse from 2007 has never had a scroll wheel issue like this. Good mouse unless you're a scroll wheel heavy user.
