PERIMICE-713L, Wireless Ergonomic Left Handed Vertical Mouse, 6 Buttons Design, 3 Level DPI, Black, Medium

Expectations: Since most brands give a hearty "EFF YOU" to lefties, my expectations were to be slightly disappointed while forced into using a modified claw grip, all the while cursing the manufacturer under my breath. This is the state of left handed mice to get a 3 star review from a lefty. *cough*I'm lookin' at you Logitech*cough* Reality & TL;WR: This mouse failed every expecation, and that's why it's a 5 star product. I wasn't forced to use a claw grip to use this mouse, down to two stars. I didn't curse the manufacture while using this mouse, down to one star. Interested in why this is a 5 star left handed mouse? Read on. Lets cover the good parts, and there are plenty... One, this mouse is an actual lefty mouse, no fiddling with settings to reverse the buttons. Is this table stakes? No it isn't. Up one star, making this a two star product. Two, the scroll wheel is nice both for scrolling a middle clicking, once you get past the learning curve (hint: press the middle button with a slight upward motion). The scroll wheel would be outright glorious if the designer had given it a smooth motion instead of the stepper/clicky motion, but it's completely usable. Up from two stars to three stars. As an adult, I can let my fingers relax into a natural position as opposed to adopting a claw grip. Other manufacturers call this "compact," I call it "designed for children in single digit years." Up from 3 stars to 4 stars for considering adult hands. Probably most importantly, is accuracy. This is a wired mouse that suffers from neither lag nor interference. Setting the DPI by the button that DOES NOT GET IN THE WAY, and makes this mouse obscenely accurate. If you spend your day using a mouse in any significant way, you have to appreciate how this mouse JUST WORKS. Up from 4 stars to 5 stars. Finally, if you're looking at this mouse, then, like me, you have a need for a vertical ergonomic mouse. You might not game, or you might be an avid gamer. For me, this mouse relieved the stress I was having, and made mousing comfortable ALL DAY. Up from 5 stars to 6 -- oh, dang! Amazon only allows 5 stars. Long and the short of it is this mouse meets every need you have if you're looking for left handed vertical mouse. Is it perfect? No. Is it next to perfection? For me, you bet! (One nit: Could I pick a different color than just blue for the RGB accent? Yellow would be nice.)

[No compensation of any kind was received in connection with this review.] Old age and years of pointing and clicking have left me with moderate wrist pain if I use an ordinary mouse. I began exploring vertical mice a few years ago and, as I'm left-handed, the field of contenders was pretty small. I first tried the only offering from the BigBrand mouse company. It eased the pain, but that mouse is a very poor match for my left hand: it seems hard to grip, awkward to maneuver, and my thumb can't reach either of the thumb buttons. Also, the BigBrand vertical mouse is way too expensive. Then I found the Perimice-713L from Perixx, a company unfamiliar to me. This mouse feels just right in my hand, it points, clicks, and tracks exactly as it ought, and the price is about one-third of BigBrand's. I've used the 713-L with three variants of Linux (Kubuntu, Fedora, Debian) with no difficulties at all. In fact, I've got just one suggested improvement, and it's quite minor. There's a switch that selects one of three DPI levels; I wish there were an LED that signals which level is currently selected. Would I buy another one? I already have: I've now got three of these Perixx mice, one at each of three different locations. Try to find a way to handle a vertical mouse before you buy one. The BigBrand mouse is good, in most respects, but it's plain uncomfortable for me in daily usage. The Perimice 713-L works far better in my hand; that it costs only a fraction of the BigBrand price is merely a bonus.

I had surgery on my right shoulder and needed a left-hand mouse for awhile. When I saw this mouse at its price, I decided to take the opportunity to try out an ergonomic mouse as well. I found a mixed bag. Most of the positives have to do with the quality of the mouse for the price. It seems to be decently constructed of good materials and, despite taking a number of tumbles to the floor (more on that later), has held up very well. I have been buying expensive mice for years and I've got to say that this one has really surprised me in a positive way. If you're looking for an ergonomic mouse for a decent price, this is one you should seriously consider. There are some negatives, and these mostly have to do with the facts of life with an ergonomic mouse. The concept is good, but it's taking me quite a long time to get used to the new hand position, which results in my not having a good grip on the mouse and having difficulty clicking either button without moving the mouse, and a lot of difficulty double clicking it and having the computer recognize it as a double click. I believe this has more to do with my adaptability and learning to use my left hand than with the design of the mouse. But, when I get it right, the mouse is very comfortable in my hand and works quite nicely. Similarly, I'm having trouble moving the mouse pointer or cursor accurately. I'm also having trouble adjusting the dpi. There's a button and their advertising mentions that there are three different resolutions, but the instructions that come with the unit are very sketchy and do not describe how to adjust the setting at all. You're on you own on this one, and I'm not sure that I've figured it out yet myself. An ergonomic mouse is considerably higher than a traditional mouse. Keep in mind that if you are using your mouse on a retractable keyboard/mouse tray, this may require you to have to lower the tray in order to allow room for the mouse to fit when you slide it under the work surface. And, one final detail: The additional height of the mouse also means that you have to raise your hand higher to get it over the mouse when you move your hand from the keyboard to the mouse. I seem to forget this often and so my mouse hits the floor frequently when my hand knocks it off of the tray. Recommendation: If you're looking for a good quality ergonomic left-handed mouse, this is one to consider.

Like most people who still rely heavily on a computer and a mouse to read articles, play games, and type communications, the side issue has always been a sore wrist from frequent use. Before this purchase, my wireless mouse was the typical small turtle shell shape, easy to maneuver, but painful with extended use. Being left handed also made finding a good mouse difficult. Knowing nothing about options for mice, I came across this one and thought the design made sense, providing it still does the job, and maybe without so much wrist pain. I was very surprised it did exactly that. Your hand fits into it like a handshake and with practice works fine. I will say adjusting the control of the mouse takes a bit of work as the hand movement won't feel natural at first. But stick with it. It's worth it. Highly recommended.

I am a natural leftie but grew up playing videos games right handed. After playing some games with lots of clicking, my right index finger started to swell so I looked into alternatives. It didn't even dawn on me that there are now computer mice and keypads for lefties. So I tried this one. It is really comfortable. Not great for gaming and it took me awhile to get used to the switch the left and right mouse button scheme, where the typical mouse, the left button clicks and the right side brings up a context sensitive menu, but that is reversed for this mouse. It wasn't a big change, but there might be a little frustration at the beginning. I have no problem recommending it. It feels good and works well

This mouse is terrible. If you twitch even slightly while clicking, it will disregard the command or cause weird things to happen, especially on Opera. It drops highlighting while I'm highlighting even though my finger is firmly on the button. Because it drops the highlighting, I end up moving several items or folders into other folders that I never intended to happen. It is a horrible mouse, and the person who designed it deserves capital punishment, only to be brought back to life and done away with again. This thing will make your life miserable if you purchase it.

Pluses: + comfortable to use - upright shape way more ergonomic than conventional mouse + reasonably smooth motion Cons: - the scroll wheel doesn't tilt left or right for side scroll - 2 AAAs drain in a month or two (previous microsoft mouse lasted like 8+ months) - easy to accidentally click while moving it around, less so after you learn to grip it with your ring+pinky fingers - doesn't seem to work with all battery brands, weirdly

(NOTE: This review was written via speech-to-text. There may be some grammical errors or typos.) A couple of weeks ago I got tendonitis in my thumb from drawing and gaming too much. I bought two of these for each hand so that I had one for my left hand while my dominant hand was recovering, and one for my right hand for when my hand recovers. Somehow I got into the situation where both were plugged in on each side of my keyboard. I switch between them regularly. Both of these fit in the hands so well and even though I am absolutely hateful of mice with extra buttons due to accidentally pushing them, they really are not in the way at all. If you have Windows 10 the buttons and sensitivity are fully customizable so please ignore anyone criticizing these points. The track wheel is fantastic. They are well balanced. The material is smooth and pleasant to touch. The blue LEDs are pretty and fashionable. good quality. I am never going back to a normal mouse again. I would have spent twice as much money on these if I knew how nice they would be. It baffles me these are not sold in the average tech section of a department store. I can use the mouse for my dominant hand without my injury flaring up at all. unfortunately I don't have a lot of control over the accuracy of the mouse because my hand brace slows my arm movement but I have no complaints about smoothness of the cursor. when these break down I will be buying another. never ever ever going back to Amazon basics. these are plug-and-play also so don't worry. the perfect mouse.

Die Maus liegt sehr gut in der Hand. Die Oberfläche fühlt sich sehr angenehm an. Mit der DPI Taste kann man ganz einfach drei Geschwindigkeiten einstellen-sehr bequem. Sehr gute Reaktion und Genauigkeit. Die Tasten sind genau richtig, nicht zu schwer- und nicht zu leichtgängig. Das Rad funktioniert auch sehr gut und geräuschlos. Den zusätzlichen Ausschalter nutze ich nur bei längerem Nichtgebrauch. Ansonsten reicht der automatische Schlafmodus aus. Die Reichweite und Übertragung sind sehr gut. Kein Ruckeln oder Hängenbleiben. Optisch hochwertiger Eindruck und gute Verarbeitung. Super Preis/ Leistungsverhältnis. Würde die Maus sofort wieder kaufen.

マウス自体は大変使いやすく、疲れにくい。あとは慣れ次第。

A boon for left handed people Specially in the right hand world I wish they also had left hand scissors

Köpte den för att träna vänster hand, för att jag brukar få ont i höger axel med en vanlig mus, då jag är högerhänt. Funkar så bra att jag kommer att köpa en för högerhänta också för att se hur det funkar. Den är dock lite för liten för mina stora händer, men man lär sig väl.

Update after ~3years of heavy usage - Overall, very satisfied with the mouse, unlikely I will ever go back to a standard flat mouse post this purchase. The vertical mouse is super comfortable to the wrists. The mouse wheel has started getting wonky, scroll down sometimes results in a scrollup. The other buttons are still fine. Time to purchase a new one. -- After ~1 month of usage. The mouse is angled so that the palm is a near natural position, and helps usage for prolonged duration. While adjusting to the mouse position is almost natural, mouse movements needs some adjustment. The resting pressure point also shifts to the bottom left of the palm compared to the wrist joint in case of a regular mouse. Since there is a DPI switch as well, one needs to play around for optimum settings. The mouse seems to be well built and has an adequate cord length. On the flipside, minor niggles, the mouse buttons are made of shiny smooth plastic, which does not feel nice and is a dust magnet. There is a built in LED that is a bit distracting.
