Looking for suggestions on a vertical gaming mouse?

I have semi large hands, specifically 8" from bottom of it to the tip of my middle finger. I've looked at a ton of options, but weight, ease of use, rechargeability, and reliability are important, as is price. I'm an Amazon Prime member so I prefer something at least shipped by Amazon with their customer service handling 30 day returns.

This is the one I'm looking at right now. https://www.amazon.com/TECKNET-Ergonomic-Rechargeable-Bluetooth-Simultaneously/dp/B0DLN1V168/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=2JAHFZFYEA6D3&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.vFT-dxvelRFMEAwy1Eh7d6rIVGKAEnssPVWvH6m0n_7-xO6nFuOAyBdOIU6hwdiZL6aLOBZLrMINaFsCWoqknDKssev_9JhUci8wxVAk__Yn0IZ83UK8Fu8GmH2_C9gvU7feeWCtMOEiN5jxPeVY499VKQw4VsaF1uR2e406dX0EoKtiQ6-X8Km6X2_wD8ZcfZxuDWCJficLffw0XLa--XeBhjlJzY_zfiMhKfqgZU6NoE7VgWmmyDMB2cwRXyp_hl1tvP5K0I8t4umj4dVRQvz5vAOPskQ0t66RvTS654k.FqSJkTNw9hbPd4j10v8coikaHmrO2e7UAOb4etyFUw8&dib_tag=se&keywords=tecknet+mouse&qid=1741732526&s=electronics&sprefix=Teknet,electronics,157&sr=1-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&th=1

If there aren't any adequate affordable ones I can find, I may break down and get the Logitech MX Vertical at Best Buy. With their recycle and save deal it would come to just under $62. It doesn't have to be a mouse made for gaming btw, just adequate in DPI and a couple thumb buttons.

The wired version seems a good bit cheaper

Thanks, but it only has 4 DPI settings, and it jumps from 1000 to 1600.

Stay away from the TECKNET wireless, it probably uses the same components as the ANKER one which has an issue with the dongle overheating. After 15 minutes of play the mouse will become unresponsive until you let it rest for a bit. Also, stay away from TECKNET in general because their mice all suffer from premature switch failure.

The Logitech MX Vertical is excellent especially if you can get it for $60. My only complaint with it is that for a $100 mouse it should really have a nicer scroll wheel. Mine has held up well for 3 years so far.

Yeah, I agree, that Technet product is based on some cheap, generic vertical mouse design I've seen at least half a dozen brands use, so I don't trust the quality. My only gripe about the MX Vertical is the weight, shape, and feel of the grip. Basically it starts feeling too heavy as your game session gets longer, and can easily slip out of your hand.

I also had a couple quirks so far where the DPI I set it to changed, and the connectivity for my laptop went unresponsive. I could use the cursor, but tabs would not respond to clicks. Hopefully these were both caused by my forgetting to properly apply the DPI settings, and an interference fluke or something on the connectivity, but both were solved quickly and easily, and it's had no more such problems since.

I thinking since I paid only $60 for it, I can always just use it for my morning net surfing on the laptop, video editing, etc. My mouse wrist and forearm are already feeling better, partly due to the vertical mouse, but also a lot due to new stretching and strength exercises I'm doing daily now. So my Razer Basilisk V3 is not necessarily officially retired yet. Thanks for the feedback btw, it's much appreciated!
