DXT02W Ergonomically Designed Rechargeable Wireless Precision Mouse

Hugely annoyed. 1 year and five days since spending £100 on my second DXT mouse and it has done the same as the last DXT mouse I bought .... stopped working! These mice are very comfortable to use but tend to be quite quirky and not particularly accurate to use at times. However, as the best shape to relieve repetitive use issues I stuck with it. But , two mice in two years?? That's £200 on mice! I will replace with another brand as many more now available. Very unreliable, great pity.Update Jan 2016.I had not noticed that DXT customer services had commented on this review until the end of 2015. I got back to them and was very pleasantly surprised by quality of customer care and their speed of service. Even though it was 18 months since purchase and 6 months post writing the review, a new MkII mouse arrived the next day. I'm very impressed with the upgrade and had forgotten how comfortable they are to use. Two weeks into the MkII and I'm absolutely delighted, I've tried six (yes six!) different ergonomic mice in the last 6 months and non have come close to the DXT, my RSI has almost disappeared in only two weeks after returning with a vengeance after using the other devices. Thank you DXT. I've upgraded your stars from one to three as it was reliability that I had an issue with. Once this mouse passes the 12 month mark I'll definitely upgrade you to five as the mouse and the quality of service from DXT most definitely deserve them.UPDATE June 2016I said I'd see how the reliability goes and to date all of my issues with the earlier version of this are no longer an issue. Battery life, responsiveness and reliability issues I had with previous versions have all gone. As has my RSI... Completely. Still expensive but worth every penny. At least the quality now matches the price tag. Customer service is top notch if you have any issues.

I was using a DXT mouse (wired version) for several years. It was a real workhorse and was brilliant. I never looked back after the wrist benefits. Downside of the wired one was that the cable was vulnerable when wrapped up to travel. Eventually the scroll wheel went iffy, so 5 years on I have bought a wireless one.The bluetooth version is just as good, smooth and fast and with the right speed setting (adjustable) there is no need to move my arm or even the "heel" of my hand at all, just fingertips. I don't find any problems using it whilst charging, the cable is just out of the way nicely.I use it every day and it often goes weeks. In fact I have never run out of charge, but I plug it in occasionally if I think about it. It goes to sleep in some way also, hence there's no need to switch it on and off. After a cold start of the computer, just wiggle the mouse it and you're off again.

Update: I decided to return the mouse as it kept "sticking" to links either text or image ones. I had to have a second mouse to "pull" the cursor off the link.I have been using the mouse for a week and it seems to be easing the fatigue in my wrist and elbow but not my shoulder. It also encouraged me to change the height of my seat.It takes some getting used to and the top button is the easiest to use. The scroll wheel is usable but a lot better backwards as you are pulling it into your grip. The lower mouse button is taking longer to perfect as I tended to jerk the mouse when I use it.It is not very accurate and when working with documents I click somewhere close to where I want then move the curser with the keyboard arrows.The mouse also gets stuck which is strange; dragging and dropping photos in one case. The cursor can go “missing”; I have to move the mouse around a lot to “find” it.I prefer to have my index finger flat across the face of the mouse to operate the top button and use the last joint on my index finger for the bottom button. I find it more accurate and comfortable this way than the “pinch grip” but then the scroll wheel is too far back and the buttons also seem to far down the body; in my case would be better about 5mm higher.It is still not as fluid as a flat mouse but again that may improve with practice.It seems well made and has a nice weight.Worth over £100? If it stops the fatigue in my wrist and elbow yes; but time will tell.

Product website is frozen since 2016, not easy to find pairing software which when installed didnt work anyway. Surface has become very sticky as the plastic has perished. Worked for about a year but I am very uncertain as to its support for Win10 as the software didnt seem compatible with it. I couldn't get mouse to work anymore in any case and I work in IT.You would need to be ergonomically desperate (as I was) to buy this (it was neat and compact too which I liked) - thankfully other products are now available (e.g. websearch for "best vertical mice 2019") and even though some are larger a mouse that works is always better than one that doesn't.
