Perixx PERIMICE-713 Wireless Ergonomic Mouse

Alright, so let's dig into this Perixx PERIMICE-713 wireless ergonomic mouse. First off, the shape is quite the eye-catcher. It’s got this vertical design that looks a bit odd but is supposed to be more comfortable for your wrist. If you're used to traditional mice, it might take some getting used to, but once you do, your wrist will thank you. The idea is to keep your hand in a more natural handshake position, which supposedly helps reduce strain. Sounds nice in theory, right?

Now, talking about the wireless part — it’s pretty solid. You plug in the USB receiver, and boom, you're connected. No fuss, no drivers needed. The connection is stable, and I haven’t noticed any lag, which is crucial if you’re working or gaming. The mouse runs on two AAA batteries, and while they're not rechargeable, the battery life is decent. You might want to keep spares handy just in case.

Buttons and scroll wheels are where it gets interesting. It’s got six buttons, including a couple of thumb buttons that are programmable. That’s handy if you like shortcuts, but if you’re someone who prefers a simple setup, it might feel a bit overkill. The scroll wheel is nice and smooth, and the clicks are satisfyingly tactile. Nothing groundbreaking, but it gets the job done.

Let’s talk about the feel. The mouse is covered in this soft-touch material that feels pretty good. It doesn’t slip much, even if your hands get a bit sweaty. But, it’s larger than your average mouse, so folks with smaller hands might find it a bit too chunky. It’s definitely something you’d want to try out first to see if it suits your grip.

Overall, the Perixx PERIMICE-713 is a solid choice if you're after something ergonomic and wireless without breaking the bank. It’s not perfect and might not suit everyone, especially if you’re not a fan of vertical designs. But if wrist pain is your enemy and you’re looking for a change, this mouse could be a game-changer for you. Just be ready for a bit of an adjustment period.
