I guess inflation and tariffa almost doubled the price in less than 8 years.

Like to get more ergonomic instead of the flat mouse that can get bothersome on the wrist ... This one looks interesting... 1 Star reviews suggest scroll wheel problems

I have the wireless version of this mouse and it works ok. Has a light hollow feel. I prefer the Logitech vertical mouse much better. For how long my mice last, I think the extra cost is worth it.

Been using a NPET VM10 since March 2020 to this day and regret not buying a second one at the time. Now they are no longer available. It's just like this one in the ad, just wireless. The best mouse I have ever used.

Bought two of these 3 years ago. With daily use, one experienced an issue where the mouse wheel will randomly register the wrong direction when trying to scroll. Rubber cover on the wheel also eventually separates from the plastic wheel body so it spins freely until you super glue it. Saw other mentions of that weak point in Amazon reviews.

I have the wireless one too and it does feel hollow. However I've dropped it down a big flight of stairs twice and nothing happened to it!

Have wired and wireless version of this; prefer wireless solely for the fact I hate wires, but agree it feels less solid/more hollow. After nearly 6 years with it, the wireless mouse scroll wheel is not operating 100% like it did when new so will be replacing with, either, the same, or upgrading to a Logitech ergo eventually.

I've been using one maybe 8-9 years. I used a Logitech MX one for a while but ended up coming back to Anker, it just feels better.

I have this and the wireless version. The wireless version is obviously more comfortable to use, but in some environments it picks up interference and it lags which is really annoying. I've had more expensive handshake mouses that were more comfortable, but I stick with this one because it's affordable and not bothersome ergonomically. It's certainly more comfortable than a regular mouse.

Half true. All a person needs to do is look at price history and it's bounced back and forth from $17 to $26 since 2023. Inflation alone. Don't fear reality.
