Anker's Vertical Ergonomic Mouse Is Basically a Back-to-School Giveaway, Now at Its Lowest Price
Are you still using some ten-year old mouse you picked up from the Staples checkout line? Or maybe worse, you're just using whatever cheap crappy mouse came free bundled with a laptop you bought way back during the president's first term. A computer mouse may not be something you put a lot of thought into when shopping for, but it might be one of the most frequent things you come in contact with across your day. It's up there with the keyboard right next to it and perhaps a steering wheel if you drive to work. So why shouldn't you make you you have something high quality? Anker has this vertical ergonomic wireless mouse and it's pretty affordable too. It's normally just $30 but right now, it's ever lower at just $24 for a limited time.

This actually compresses your nerves and can lead to pain and discomfort. When you place your arm out in front of you, it naturally wants to lay on outer part of your palm opposite your thumb. Anker's vertical mouse is designed with this in mind, reducing pressure on your wrist joints and minimizing the risk of cramping. Anker's vertical mouse has the key components you'd expect from any mouse. It's got it's right click button along with its perhaps even more important right click button. It's got a scroll wheel. This we expect. Though on top of that, it's also got a back button and forward button. This makes browsing the web even more versatile having those shortcuts right at your thumb. You can customize the speed with the DPI control button along the side. Choose between sensitivity options of 800 DPI, 1200 DPI, and 1600 DPI for a smooth and precise control over a range of different surfaces. The mouse is wireless, powered by two AAA batteries.
