User questions & answers

Question:	does this mouse recharge batteries if you can connect a usb cable
Answer:	No, but this thing does not use that much power even at 1600 dpi, I change batteries every 8-12 months . Buy a pack of amazon triple AAA and you'll have enough batteries for life. Great mouse I use for gaming (CODCW/BF4) and in the office for graphic design. Great mouse, not cheap at almost $30 but best in it's price range. Light weight rubbery feel.
Question:	Does this work with OSX Mavericks? Is there a work around to get the thumb buttons to work
Answer:	So, I just bought this on 8/2020. I'm on a mac and the back/forward thumb buttons are working normally out of the box; I didn't do anything. I knew they weren't suppose to, but perhaps Anker fixed this?
Question:	How is its battery life
Answer:	Depends on usage, I'd guess, but my mouse has been working well ever since I bought it (8-10-2015), without needing batteries replaced very often, at all. Recently, I noticed it was needing batteries more often, so just to be sure, I dated the last pair I put in - 3.5 months ago. I was annoyed to have to change them again so soon, as I've usually long since forgotten about batteries, the next time it dies, but this time was close enough to recall. I put in the new batteries, but the mouse was still dead. Not sure if the old batteries are even dead yet (but the mouse is, hence my being here looking to replace it). If you consider 3.5 months to be a fast death to the batteries, then this is the shortest time to death I've had in the 5 years I've had this mouse. Lots of others seem cool with it needing changing every 2 months, but I found 3.5 a bit soon, so just depends on expectations. I kinda think close to a year is more like it. Of course, I only use my mouse 3-5 hours a day, 7 days a week, so perhaps I've just been really lucky so far. Either way, 5 years is by far the longest I've ever had a mouse last (by about 4 years!), and the money I save on annual mouse replacement will more than offset any battery usage issues that may develop. I also like the feel of this mouse better. Once you get used to it, you will too. Certainly helps with my wrist problems (carpal tunnel), and arthritis).
Question:	I have small hands and also wrist pain problem from traditional mouse. Is this a good option for me
Answer:	I have small hands as well. It is not the best size for me. Too BIG. For more information about my hand size, Logitech m310 and m325 is too small. Logitech m705 is a little big. Logitech m510 and m525 is good to grab but ther are heavy because of 2AA batteries. TeckNet 2600DPI Bluetooth Wireless Mouse is the best size I've found so far. I hope Anker produces a smaller version of it. Regarding wrist pain, it is helpful if you are well adapted in this weird shaped mouse.

User questions & answers

Question:	How do you adjust dpi with the dpi button, and how do you know what dpi the mouse is set at
Answer:	According to the instruction manual at Anker's website."When adjusting DPI to the first level (800 DP), the blue LED bar will blink once, when adjusting to the second level, the blue LED bar will blink twice, etc."
Question:	Is it left-hand friendly
Answer:	No. You would have to contort your hand to use it in your left hand. This contortion would be even worse (greater deviation from a neutral hand position) than if a left-handed individual used a traditional mouse. Hopefully they make a left hand version as lefties do make up an estimated 8-10% of the world population (Barsley, 1970).
Question:	What do you mean: Mac OS X (The two thumb buttons are not recognized on the Mac OS X) ... which buttons won't work? The right and left as per photo
Answer:	The thumb buttons are recognized on Mac OS as a 4th & 5th button, they just don't work (out of the box) on fwd/back. You can map them in system preferences to Mission Control functions (like show windows, etc.) or you can get the free BetterTouchTool software and map them to any keyboard shortcut (such as fwd/back or copy/paste, etc.) you'd like.
Question:	how comfortable is for large hands
Answer:	6'5" and if I hold it such that my palm is supported by the back of the mouse, i.e. the webbing of my thumb is actually touching the back of the mouse, like you see in most pictures, my fingers overshoot the end by a whole segment. It's way too small for me. Basically I either have to move my fingers back and have the back of my hand be unsupported with a really awkward thumb grip or have a nice grip support while clicking with the middle segments of my fingers. Hold your hand out facing upward and measure from the tip of your index finger to just passed the bump where your knuckle is. Mine is ~12.5cm which I feel is about 2cm too long for this mouse. So if you're like 10.5 or maybe even 11 or less it will probably be more comfortable, lengthwise anyway. Also the height of the mouse is such that I have to scrunch my fingers so they don't touch the mouse pad. Knuckle to knuckle I'm about 9cm across, and I wish the mouse was about 1 or 2 cm taller.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it have a tilting wheel
Answer:	It does not have a tilting wheel.
Question:	Battery life? Does it last longer than 1 year
Answer:	I have not been able top get more than two months out of the battery, but then I use the mouse more than 15 hours a day everyday. Your mileage may vary. I have never had a battery powered mouse last a year on batteries. I have been using battery mice for 10 years at least.
Question:	If it sleeps, does it awake with movement or do you have to push a button
Answer:	Push a button
Question:	What's the dimension of the mouse? Is it good for small hand
Answer:	I have pretty small hands and works well for me. It’s about 4”-4.5” from where it sits between your thumb and forefinger to the end. 5”-5.5” overall length. About 3” at its widest point. It’s hard to measure because of its curve. I’m a small in a glove. From the tip of my middle finger to my wrist my hand is just shy of 7”.

User questions & answers

Question:	How well does it work with Linux
Answer:	I'm using it with Linux right now, and everything works pretty much as expected. I'm using the Unifying Receiver on a Fedora 28 desktop with X and Bluetooth on a Fedora 29 Beta laptop with Wayland. Everything works on the laptop, and everything but horizontal scrolling works on the desktop. I'm not sure if the difference is X versus Wayland or Unifying Receiver versus Bluetooth. Solaar reports the battery status and easily let me pair it with the unifying receiver I already had on the same machine. It lists two buttons that it doesn't recognize, which I think must correspond to the DPI select button and device switch button. Those work, though, so I don't really care that they don't show in Solaar. Bluetooth also reports accurate battery status in the Gnome control center.
Question:	Does the mx ergo have the super fast, gearless “freely spinning” wheel like the mx masters
Answer:	Nope. It has a cogging mechanism and only recognizes changes between the indents.
Question:	Does this have the same crappy microswitches that will cause click failures in mere weeks for which your M570 is infamous
Answer:	I use mine (M570) for graphic design 8-12 hours a day and yes, IT DOES INDEED HAVE CLICK FAILURE. At one time I had one of our IT staff take it apart and make adjustments to the switches, but the problem came back again in a few weeks. REALLY frustrating when trying to drag and drop objects in a layout, or draw, or even getting a consistent smooth performance for merely highlighting text. It's a legit concern. I need to replace my M570 and am looking at the MX ERGO for the very same reason, but the $100 price tag seems hard to justify.
Question:	What does the mx ergo have or do that is worth $60 more than the m570? just a magnetic hinge and rechargeable battery
Answer:	Yes, yes, and yes!!! I didn't not buy this from Amazon because I wanted to get this right away. I went to Best Buy and got it. I have used the M570 and it was quite good. I had an older keyboard so first upgraded to ergo k860, OMG!!!! what a difference.... then I thought I should try the vertical mouse first. Returned this on the next day. Then I looked at the Logitech Master MX 3 because it had the most features..... Returned this to the next day because once you go a trackball, you won't be back to a regular mouse. Then, before I decided to try MX Ergo, I thought I should just keep m570 because it was better than the first two: vertical mouse and mx master mx3 but then I thought it wouldn't be fair to not try MX Ergo. I AM GLAD, I DID!!! your wrist is going to be thanking you for years!!! Love it! The programmable features are awesome! I work from home and this is must to have nowadays.
