solid review. i like that you used both for a period of time instead of sharing observations right after opening the box

[@AerialLensVideo]

Excellent video - very helpful. Looking forward to using the J-Tech I just ordered! I work in photo editing several hours a day, and do indeed have serious problems, but with shoulder rather than wrist (go figure).

[@lynnashley6247]

Used the Anker wired vertical as my right hand mouse for over a year. I liked the vertical feel but found that the added force needed to press the left and right buttons was causing me to unconsciously prefer my left hand Logitech M510. You alluded to this issue in your video. I'll use your affiliate link to order a J-Tech vertical and try it out. Thanks.

[@TheKyotoEffect]

This was the most valuable review for this mouse, and I really appreciate the effort you put into it. The other reviewers were either confused or didn't really communicate why I should get the mouse. I seriously appreciate this man. Good stuff!

[@FishBeeProductions]

Thanks! I also did a video on an evoluent vertical mouse. While not perfect it's probably one of the best vertical mouse brands i've used so far if you have wrist pain.

[@jdmec81]

Removed he J-Tech from my cart and ordered it through your affiliate link. Thanks for a good review and comparison on the 2 models I was debating.

[@FishBeeProductions]

Thanks! I hope it works out for you.

[@jimijumper]

Thanks for the review, I was debating between these 2 models and found your video. It helped me decide to try the J Tec

Great video bro, thanks a lot!

thanks for this, which mouse has the sensitive or easy to press buttons

[@gphillimo]

I think I might need this. I'm a nurse and I work 12 hour shifts. I have to chart on the computer all shift so it's a lot of clicking. My wrist, forearm, and shoulder have started to hurt more and more

[@Kavster92]

People severely underestimate the benefits of good design when it comes to ergonomics and technology. It goes a really long way. Invest in your experience to be as comfortable as possible as soon as you notice an issue. Sincerely, someone with frozen shoulder and carpal tunnel :(

[@gopherbone697]

Thank you for this man, I have carpel tunnel and I was weary about vertical mice until you saw your video.

[@hipoalergeniko]

Which angle do you like more? the one from the j-tech or the evoluent v4

[@BlackacreDoe]

Do you know how to activate the light on the J-Tech? I've hit the button on the bottom that I thought did it but that's not working.

[@sludgehound]

Just wonder if spraying some CRC QD electronic cleaner into the J-Tech scroll wheel might reduce the force factor? I too would hate it finding inferior wheel knowing they can be made 'better' like Anker one. Used spray on brand on year old corded MS 4000 kb and it now feels brand new. Just exterior 3 secs spray while it's upside down, wait couple mins, pound each key once. Left kb sit overnite. Regained that nice firmish touch. Doesn't attack plastic but sure does a job on electronic connections. Various brands @$5. CRC last forever and works on tons of stuff, cars especially. Stuff dries right away but I wanted the sit.

[@PacMania67]

will see 'bout usin' the j-tech mouse. been usin' some rog gaming mouse that i got with a gaming laptop awhile ago. think it's time for a new one so its price and what you've said 'bout that one sounds alright

[@zerandervax1046]

Any ideas which one could suit a hand where I can't separate my pointer and index finger apart? Tore off tendon that runs from index finger to muscle between index finger and thumb.

[@PunkerNinetySix]

Thanks Bryan! Great review. Looks like the Anker might be just a bit better for longer fingers and bigger hands. Thinking I might give it a try.

[@giuliacomgiu5902]

How do you like it?

[@PunkerNinetySix]

@@giuliacomgiu5902 Been using mine 7 months now. Haven't switched back to a traditional mouse, beleive it or not. All the things you hear about needing a long period of time to adjust to the new design and your mousing accuracy dropping dramatically due to to the switch are overstated in my opinion. It only took me maybe 1-2 days to adjust. After a total of maybe 3-4 hours I no longer even thought about the difference between this and a traditional mouse. As for wrist comfort, combining this mouse with a proper egronomic setup, ensuring you're sitting high enough to have your elbows at roughly 90 degrees, I much prefer this mouse. I no longer have tension or wrist pain. I'm a big fan of these Ankers. I've even gotten pretty good using mine for FPS gaming (although I can't say I was ever that good to begin with!).

[@giuliacomgiu5902]

@@PunkerNinetySix nice, thank you very much! And is it really good for bigger hands? My hands are quite big compared to other girls (7.5 cm large by 17.5 CM tall, or 3 in large by 6.9 in tall) and I've seen in other websites that jtech fits very nice for medium to large hands.

[@PunkerNinetySix]

@@giuliacomgiu5902 I'd say the Anker is perfect for my hands and mine are larger than average for males. It grips nicely and I don't need to arch my fingers (claw grip) to press the buttons, which is nice and comfortable. I don't have measurements for you, but they say feet and hand size are usually relative to each other, so if it helps I wear size 12-13! Haha Very happy with the Anker.

[@SKTK612]

2:59 You can fix it yourself with dissassmble the mouse and band a little the nidle that creates the clickiness inside.

[@Psittacus_erithacus]

helpful and reasonably concise, which I appreciate. Also nice to see you actually put some meaningful time in with the devices being reviewed. I bought the wired version of the Anker years ago as my first vertical mouse. Even though I've been using it happily for years, I agree completely with your comments about it. In fact, I never use the back/forward buttons, I use rocker gestures instead, probably because the buttons were never practical. Will try your affiliate link for the J-Tech when I need a replacement. Thanks for informing my shopping.

[@memecity6722]

Hello, dear fella 😃 I'm new to the injuried club, i see that you have some extra experience. Do you mind to share tips that work out for you?

[@goanddo2371]

I agree with everything you said about vertical mice! I just stopped using wireless ones because every wireless mouse I've used has died after 2-3 years. My Anker arrived yesterday - the wired version of the one you review here - and within minutes my hand was hurting; interestingly, because the scroll wheel is too far forward! I have large hands, yet have to use my fingertip to use the wheel, instead of the pad of my finger. It may not be a big deal, except I am currently dealing with gout in my hands so every little thing makes a difference. Thanks to your review I'm going to try out the J-Tech instead, so thank you!

[@FishBeeProductions]

yeah so far the evoluent ones have been the best but its weird because its good for most stuff but not so good for video editing. I'm still searching for a better vertical mouse all the time!

[@Eric-yt7fp]

I'd been using an Anker mouse for about a year before it started to crap out on me, and recently switched to a j-tech one because it was highly rated (not the one in your video, it's the V628X vertical mouse, with adjustable angles) Wow it's a whole lot different! Bigger grip is fairly easy to get used to, but the actual weight of the thing and the bottom plate thing make it a challenge to get used to. I'll have to play through Portal again to get a better feel for this thing :P

[@Eric-yt7fp]

That said, I'm fairly sure that once I'm used to the j-tech I'll prefer it over the Anker.

[@notinajaronmars]

Vertical mice are cool and all but I was wondering what you thought about this new vertical mousepad thing, MouseRamp by orb control. I'm just way more accurate with a traditional mouse and this allowed me to use one in a more neutral wrist posture.

[@FishBeeProductions]

I haven't tried that one but yeah video editing with a vertical mouse is a pain so I keep switching to a regular one as much as I can until my wrist hurts again

[@twofacepalmer1212]

I don't get this. The left hand is susceptible to more motion and finger tapping than the right hand yet why would you get pain in the right hand and not the left?

[@soetekinhaentjens1462]

i'm a 17 year old graphics designer, and am already having tendinitis issues and carpal tunnel syndrome symptomes, glad these exist and my j-tech is on the way..

[@FishBeeProductions]

Oh wow that sucks. Another good one to try is by evoluent but more expensive.

[@Davmm96]

the thing I hate about the J-tech is the frictionless texture for the palm. The hypothenar just slides down to the mouse pad instead of beeing kept on the mouse. Should be more texturized to provide grip. Almost wondering about plasti-dip.

[@thecreator5662]

Can someone tell me what is the official weight for the J-Tech mouse (wireless and wired) with and without the attachable accessorie? Thank you in advance😊

[@MzStormieDiva12]

How do u put batteries in

[@Yipper64]

Hmm, I think this means I should go with the Anker. Not to say the J-Tech isnt great, it seems really cool to have my whole hand around the mouse, I just kind of still want a traditional feel, and I honestly use the scroll wheel more than anything else, so I think Anker makes the most sense. Unless I go with a different mouse. Or keep the one I have. Idk.

[@user-ot3py6nc1z]

The led light decreases the battery life. I just removed the led bulb from the power sub board.

[@BamsBangers]

I just started using the J-tech and I find for me as a female it seems to run a bit big for my hand. I'm only 5ft so yes I run small hahah so yeah just wish they make a smaller size version of this mouse....I'm a graphics designer so I use the mouse a lot!

[@FishBeeProductions]

Thanks for watching and letting others know your experience!

[@randommcranderson5155]

They do make a smaller one! The materials aren't the same, but look for the J-Tech Digital Scroll endurance.

[@xandrab5807]

Can you use the J-Tech without the drivers?

[@FishBeeProductions]

Yes, it works right away on Windows 10. I think it uses whatever is available to make it work.

[@Habijob]

I have a different question xD What is that wrist wrap that you wear in the video?

[@FishBeeProductions]

That one didn’t work that great so I had to switch to this one: amzn.to/3PMjNQR

[@Habijob]

@@FishBeeProductions Oh, I see. I already got such a thing but I dislike the break. Gets in my way when holding a pen xD Anyway, want to say that your video sold me on getting the J-Tech mouse, after reading and watching so many reviews about so many vertical mice.

[@afrinakter6991]

Does the LED bar turNS on in Anker mouse,,??????

[@FishBeeProductions]

Only time I remember is when it first connected it lit up. But not after that.

[@razorsharpgraphics]

I have used the Anker vertical Mouse I felt instant relief. I had my work order two for my pc's at work. Throws off anyone the has never used one. It's the same as a traditional mouse just turned on its side.

[@FishBeeProductions]

Nice! Yeah people are always like what in the world LOL

[@fairplayer916]

Those anchor mice are awful. They work fairly well for the first five or so days, but as soon as the battery starts to go, and they do go quick, the thing turns into a piece of junk. Ghost clicks, doubleclick's out of nowhere, failing to register clicks, and the optical sensor tracking is just garbage. If you absolutely must have one, find one that's wired

[@tk300693]

Lol cute intro 😂

[@r.d.6290]

Today is my first day with Anker-like shaped vertical mouse. Instead of carpal tunnel strain it causes muscle strain. The force needed to hold this mouse causes me to click right button accidentally once in a while. I will try j-tech shaped mouse next

[@FishBeeProductions]

Yeah the evoluent mouse video I did was my favorite until it died on me

[@jemrylie]

Both are actually OEM design from China. They are really cheap without the Anker and J-Tech branding.

[@lerneninverschiedenenforme7513]

IMO not worth watching. I didn't see the mouse being actually used.

[@mariaefremova5301]

The Anker is so obnoxiously loud I hate it

[@LonicGheshu]

Good luck to anyone left-handed like me, I don't see a J-Tech in a left hand version. I've been using the Anker left-handed version for a week now and I agree with the review. It's not truly vertical, the forward and back buttons are not comfortable to use, there's no support for the thumb (mine aches) and it's so narrow there's a constant pinch grip. To add, the scroll wheel button needs a distinctive unnatural upward motion to click it. Any natural downward pressure and it hits a brick wall. I suspect they didn't flip it's direction from the right handed version where the right hand could click downwards. For me I've used a standard mouse with my left hand for 30 years and I twist my index finger to the left button. This is not good ergonomics but I've never been able to get away with using the right button as the primary. That is until now. What the Anker version has done for me in the last week is force me to keep my hand in position and use that right mouse button with my index finger. I'm now thinking of the left-handed 3dconnexion CADmouse, it's expensive but may do the trick. Remember when reviewing ergonomics there's a whole bunch of lefties who can't use what you're recommending and the industry is mostly short-sighted to the need!

[@FishBeeProductions]

Evoluent has one I believe

[@kwentongeerie]

Haha good luck to the people who's going to switch to a vertical mouse. It's my first day and I'm not enjoying it. 😂

[@FishBeeProductions]

Yeah, it took me about 3 days. First day I hated it. It's not perfect but better than wrist pain.

[@Joe-fb9ns]

this looks awful for gamers i dont see anyone buying this who uses pcs mostly to play games
