Update 12/24/18: 7Lucky got me a new mouse in 3 days, without me having to return the original one. The new mouse doesnt lose clicks at all, so I am very pleased overall. I am leaving this with 4 stars because I wish the mouse would actually wake by moving it, or even with a spin of the scroll wheel, instead of having to click a button. ----- Update 12/16/18: My review below prompted a quick response from 7Lucky, offering to refund or replace the mouse. I have chosen to let them replace it - with no cost to me, including free shipping. They are clearly responsive to customers needs, and so, until I receive the replacement and can try it out, I am assuming that the click problem I mentioned below will go away, so I am upping my review to 4 stars (originally I gave 3 stars). ----- I havent used a vertical mouse before, but found it easy and comfortable to adapt to this one. The buttons are all conveniently placed and easy to use. The battery life seems to be really good, Ive gone more than a week without charging and it didnt seem to take very long to recharge. My biggest complaint is that the mouse goes to sleep after about 10 minutes and requires a button click to wake it up. Im a programmer, and I often work for stretches without using the mouse, which means it goes to sleep. Thats fine, but it would be so much more convenient if moving the mouse woke it up again. If the mouse is asleep, and the cursor on the screen has gone away, clicking a random point could have unwanted effects. The other problem Ive had with this mouse is that it doesnt reliably register clicks. On my example in particular, left mouse button clicks dont always register. Ive had the mouse for a month and it seems to me like this may be happening somewhat more frequently, but it would occasionally miss a mouse click even from new. At first I thought that maybe I wasnt clicking it cleanly, but I have been very careful after missing a click to solidly click it again, and that click has sometimes been missed as well.
