Review of the Trust Verto Wireless Ergonomic Mouse

In the article about carpal tunnel syndrome and vertical mice, among other options for such controllers, we drew readers’ attention to the line of inexpensive vertical mice from Trust. In addition, these controllers were mentioned several times in the comments, so the author decided to buy a Trust Verto Wireless Ergonomic Mouse and make an addition to the previous article, where you can find more information about carpal tunnel syndrome and the principle of vertical mice.

The main advantage of the Trust Verto Wireless Ergonomic Mouse over Logitech and even Delux mice, which we reviewed in the previous article, is, of course, the price. To get a pretty good vertical mouse for only 700-1300 UAH is very cool. Even if it lasts three times less than a Logitech device, it’s still a bargain, because for the price of one Logitech MX Vertical, you can buy five Verto Wireless Ergonomic. But there are other advantages to the Trust controller.

And the first of them is weight. Trust Verto Wireless Ergonomic Mouse is 23 g lighter than Logitech MX Vertical and 13 g lighter than Logitech Lift. The Delux M618C RGB Black seems to be even lighter, but it seems that the weight is given without the battery, so in fact, the Delux M618C weighs the same as the Verto Wireless Ergonomic – about 110-112 g, but due to its design, the Trust mouse seems more agile and mobile.

All three mice we reviewed earlier are similar in terms of design and have a convex back that fits the palm of your hand. Trust Verto Wireless Ergonomic, on the other hand, has a concave back, which makes the mouse silhouette look like a sailing yacht or a predatory fish fin, depending on the color (there are black and white versions of the mouse) and your imagination.

This shape has both advantages, as a large and medium-sized palm fills the bend very comfortably, and disadvantages. This shape simply makes it impossible to use the controller together with an orthosis (rigid bandage) of the wrist joint. As we wrote earlier, the orthosis has a rigid plate that fits into the palm of your hand, making it impossible to fully grip the mouse, and the curved shape of Trust Verto Wireless Ergonomic further distances your fingers from the buttons, so you simply can’t reach any of them with the orthosis. Moreover, the orthosis slides along the mouse body, and it seems to slip out of your hand. On the other hand, as we said earlier, the only mouse that works with the orthosis at all is the large Logitech MX Vertical.

Like other vertical mice we’ve reviewed, the Trust Verto Wireless Ergonomic has two side buttons that default to back and forth in the browser and a sensitivity button at the top. The side buttons are easy to press, but the bases are a bit tight for our taste. But the worst thing is the wheel button, because of the design, you want to press it down, not sideways, which of course doesn’t work.

Trust Verto Wireless Ergonomic has the same 800-1600 DPI sensor as the Delux M618C RGB Black. In our opinion, this is not enough for active gaming, but it is enough for any office work and “thoughtful” games. By the way, although it seems that the sensor in Trust Verto Wireless Ergonomic is slightly offset from the geometric center of the mouse, it is actually located at the center of mass projection, which is convenient and does not lead to errors when moving.

Unlike Logitech mice with their one-piece foot ring, the Trust Verto Wireless Ergonomic has four separate small Teflon feet, which reduces friction and makes movement easier.

The mouse is powered by two AAA batteries, which is a rarer option than AA, but this solution allows you to increase the mouse’s continuous operation time without significantly increasing its weight. The mouse is connected to a PC using a proprietary Trust receiver, which is hidden in the bottom of the mouse.

An interesting feature of the Trust Verto Wireless Ergonomic is the default power-saving mode, which makes the mouse “fall asleep” after five minutes of inactivity. So if you play with a gamepad or leave the computer for a while, for example, the mouse needs to be “woken up” first. It’s an extra click and a second delay, not critical, but still.

All in all, the Trust Verto Wireless Ergonomic Mouse made a very pleasant impression on us. It’s really comfortable, lightweight, and very dynamic, but we wouldn’t mind a better sensor. Also, keep in mind that like most vertical mice, the Trust Verto Wireless Ergonomic is only suitable for a palm grip, and it’s hardly compatible with a wrist orthosis. The price of the Trust Verto Ergonomic Wireless Mouse makes it the best buy for those looking for a high-quality, inexpensive vertical mouse.

There is an even cheaper wired version, the price for such mice starts at 350-400 UAH, but as we have already pointed out, wired vertical mice are nonsense, the wire will only interfere with the comfortable position of the palm and movements. However, if you’re like me and just want to try working with a vertical mouse to see if it suits you at all, then this is the perfect option.
