Anyone have any experience with the durability of Onn mice? Looks like a good product.
Everything ONN is just Walmart's adaptation of the "buy from literally anyone who will sell it to you in China, apply consistent branding to make it look ok" strategy commonly used by all of the larger names on Amazon in tech products.
That is to say, some will be good, some will be meh, and none of it will ever be better that the likes of Logitech or other "real" brands.
All that said, I have used what looks to be the essentially identical vertical mouse from ANKER brand without issue. I've now upgraded to a Logitech MX Vertical because I wanted to also get some more responsive resolution for gaming and work.
Bottom line though, USE A VERTICAL MOUSE! The position is much better and more natural for your wrist. It will take a day or two to get used to, but you probably won't go back. Even if you don't have major wrist issues like I do, you should notice a difference in fatigue at the end of the day.

I have one of these Onn vertical mice. I also own an Insignia, a Jelly Comb, a TechNet, and an Anker one.
Of all the vertical mice I own I prefer the Anker one. Second is Insignia and third is the Onn mouse.
This Onn mouse feels good in the hand but lacks the soft touch finish. This is actually a good thing for longevity in my opinion since that stuff trends to eventually get gunky and fall off.
Yes, for folks that like to stand and do their work and use the wall as a mouse pad. They also sell a vertical mouse pad you can attach to the wall for those that have textured walls.
For me, waiting for the ceiling mouse. since I am very tall. Will need a special ceiling mouse pad since I have popcorn ceilings.

WTH is a vertical mouse? use it on a wall?
You can use it while pronating your wrist less. So your thumb is pointing more upwards instead of inwards.
This helps prevent pain for some people since it puts your wrist in a more neutral position. Colleagues of mine that had elbow injuries really benefited from switching to a vertical mouse.

Yep. I alternate between the MX Vertical mouse and MX Ergo Plus trackball (the one with the wedge in addition to tilt plate). Clearly a "traditional" mouse works just fine for most folks, but I can't imagine going back to one. They're terrible (for me).
Look at the image from below at how LONG the thing is! No other vertical mouse is this long, and for good reason!
This thing has an awful shape that forces your fingers to be full outstretched to properly click the buttons unless you have gorilla sized hands. If you try to hit the buttons from behind the scroll wheel, the buttons require tremendous force to click and become unusable.
I use a Logitech MX Vertical mouse and love it. My only gripe is the scroll wheel button could be smoother, its a bit clunky. Highly skeptical of a $20 MSRP mouse, might be worth a try for $4

At this price this mouse is definitely worth it.
I hate to ask, but is this Bluetooth? I cannot seem to find that info, hate to use up a USB port if not needed

I was worried that it was as small as the typical off brand wireless mouse which forces super claw grip. but this is 4.8L, the normal length of a standard wireless mouse. In fact, if you scale the image properly with a battery you have on hand with the bottom screenshot, you'll find that you still have to use claw grip to be able to click. Too small for me.
