Zelotes c18 Gaming Mouse, Wired Vertical with Control Bar 10000DPI Ergonomic for Computer PC Desktop Macbook Black

Never tried a vertical mouse and was pleasantly surprised by it. Was comfortable and well usable.It has one major flaw however, and that's when using the joystick on the mouse it has no ghosting, which means only that button can be pressed. Had a few mistakes in my games where pressing the joystick caused the left and right click to stop.Say you're holding the right mouse button and you press up on the joystick, it'll stop holding the right mouse button. This is clearly a flaw in how it works with macros. I got use to it fairly quickly though to get around it.Overall, great mouse.

I get pretty bad wrist pain when using normal mice, so I was looking for a vertical gaming mouse and was pretty happy with the grip comfort of this mouse and how is felt in game, the re-mappable buttons are super helpful! (Although the forward/back buttons are a bit low on the mouse for me to comfortably reach with my thumb) The stick is nice for keystroke remapping, but I can't see myself using it for WASD movement it comes out of the box with. Unfortunately it can only read the inputs of the individual cardinal directions (no diagonals) so its more like a d-pad than a true analog stick. The stick click-in input (spacebar by default) is also a bit tricky to perform without moving the stick out of the neutral position. Not the best option for in-game movement, but I rebound my stick to windows media shortcuts and I'm loving it.Despite these flaw I am overall VERY happy with this mouse, the first C18 I ordered had a faulty scroll wheel, but the seller replaced it and shipped it to me quickly!

I just got my mouse in a few hours ago and I have been very happy with how well it fits into my hand. The last vertical mouse I tried felt really awkward, but this one fits like a glove. My husband tried it out and said he felt like it fit him just right too, so this seems to be a fairly universally comfortable mouse.The lights are pretty but unnecessary as I wanted it for functionality and because I was getting carpel tunnel in my wrist from long hours 3D modeling.I can't say anything about durability yet, but I was impressed with how sturdy it feels. I think it will be a winner.The only reason I couldn't give it 5 stars is that the mouse wheel is not smooth...it has the clicky type of wheel and I'm not a fan at all of clicky wheels lol :)

I use all the buttons and the joy stick.It is a slight learning curve to get used to it but once i did its fantastic.

The top button sticks to the bottom button, so it doesn't work for me. The design of the thumbstick, it sounds cool, in reality, it is a useless knob that doesn't hold up to the build quality of the rest of the mouse (did I mention the top button sticks on the bottom one?)

Muy bueno y comodo

For the price, this mouse along with other zelotes products I've had in the past are remarkably great. They're super affordable, durable, and perform just as well as their overpriced competitors. This one in particular, took some getting used to. The left and right mouse button are really sensitive, and I find myself mis-clicking due to the fact I have large hands. Aside from that, the software and mouse works very well for me. Would purchase again.

WHY:Bought on Prime Day 2021. I was looking for an ergonomic mouse to relieve some wrist pain but also wanting something with programable buttons to add more speed capability while video editing in DaVinci Resolve on a Mac. It's 8 or 9 months later and I've been using it everyday on a Mac. Wrist pain is gone but the programming software doesn't run on Mac and I figured the software would have to be running in the background to translate mouse clicks into keypresses in applications so I never bothered moving it to a Windows machine. Finally today I had time to connect it on Windows, install the Zelotes customization software and give it a whirl.The Zelotes control panel ease of use suffers from some language translation issues. The biggest gotcha is the English button labeled APPLICATION. (Translation: APPLY, or upload the settings in software to the mouse itself.)I'VE SEEN THIS ASKED:I was able to program macros on a Windows PC with the Zelotes C-18 software, save them to the 11 mouse buttons and then connect it to the Mac.THINGS I HAPPILY DISCOVERED:-Though at least one button is required to be a standard left click, all are programable, including (#6) the DPI selector under the scroll wheel.-The joystick IS NOT a true x-y axis but merely a 4-button hat, akin to a flight sim joystick (4 buttons plus a push in for a 5th). Stick defaults to A, S, D, W.-Macros (string combinations of multiple keyboard functions) can be created in the software. You can make more macros than there are mouse buttons.-When mapping buttons you can chose from a pre-made list of common computer tasks like copy, cut and paste OR select from your list of custom macros.-In Windows it appears you can create multiple profile configs and bind them to different software or games so the joystick could perform certain tasks in a text editor but do something different in a game. I don't know how to switch profiles between apps on a mac.-The mouse ships with 5 DPI presets in a range from 200 to 10000 DPI. The preset values can be changed and saved in the software too. (default 5 was set to 10000 which was too fast for my needs. I my 5 stops to be between 1000 and 7500 but I really just stick with the setting about 4000). The stops are only indicated by 4 LEDs or all 5 on for the 5th preset. You have to be in the software to know what the DPI value is for each stop.RGB LIGHTING:I'm not a gamer and I don't have a fancy computer color scheme going so after 9 months of a glowing pulsating rainbow lighting up my darkened office at night, I've finally turned it off altogether. Now the only light on is the DPI setting indicator. I'll live with that.WHAT I'VE DONE:As an example, for my video editing purposes, I remapped stick left and right buttons to macros which I'd programmed play forward or backward. The stick up and down buttons will select the clip that the playhead is on and move it up or down a track. The old DPI button will select the clip that the playhead is on and split that clip into two parts. I left the left, right, and middle click buttons as is because they have uses in Resolve as normal. I did remap the DPI cycle button to the back << button, and another advanced edit function to the forward >> button.WHAT I'D CHANGE:I really just wish they made an ergonomic, angled form factor mouse like this but with the gamer's 12 or 16 key thumb buttons. I'd actually take that over the joystick, or in addition to, if it was affordable.
