Consider the RSI-prone gamer. I would like to have healthy hands and wrists in older age and still use the computer.

Didn’t even know vertical mice were a thing until this post, they look cool.

does this count? J-Tech Digital Ergonomic Mouse with Wireless Connection, Removable Palm Rest, Thumb Buttons, Rechargeable Battery, 800 DPI, Compatible with Windows and MAC OS

It doesn’t have 16 buttons and I don’t think it does macros but I would Counter-Strike with it.

What makes something a gaming mouse to you?

One Issue I have with vertical mice is when I try to move them quickly I tend to tip them over. Or when I’m not moving them quickly I still tend to tip them over.

Polling rate, ability to change between low and high DPI on the fly, programmable thumb buttons.

Going to xth any mouse can be a gaming mouse, just lower the dpi in settings. Because gamers aren’t of the age to combine ergonomic and gaming for it to be profitable, soon though.

There’s like that one vertical gaming mouse from a bunch of different brands on amazon, I’ve bought it, it’s not terrible. I ended up going back to a normal mouse because it just didn’t feel like I could be precise enough for gaming.

Yeah it seems like everything is the exact same crappy jellybean off the shelf mouse put into different cases. Even the sensors in the high end vertical mouses like the MX master are only as good as just a regular desktop mouse.

Seems like capitalism just hasn’t made this market yet. Maybe in a few years when gamers start getting older.
