The $15 Velocifire EVM02 Wireless Vertical Mouse + GIVEAWAY

**The Verco EVM 2 Wireless Mouse: A Hands-On Review**

As someone who has spent countless hours gaming and working on their computer, I'm always on the lookout for a reliable and efficient mouse. The Verco EVM 2 wireless mouse caught my attention due to its affordable price point and sleek design. In this article, I'll share my hands-on experience with the Verco EVM 2, including its dimensions, performance, and areas for improvement.

**Dimensions and Design**

One of the first things that struck me about the Verco EVM 2 was its dimensions. The mouse measures 4.7 x 1.8 x 0.5 inches (119 x 46 x 13 mm), making it a comfortable size in my hand. I was also curious to see how this mouse would compare to my existing wired mouse, which is a Logitech G502. When placed side by side, the Verco EVM 2 looks almost identical, with a similar design and shape.

I also wanted to test the mouse's relative position on my desk. To do this, I placed both mice at eye level and compared their distance from me. The Verco EVM 2 appears to be about the same size as my existing wired mouse, but its flat top surface makes it slightly more ergonomic to hold.

**Performance**

The Verco EVM 2 performed admirably in terms of accuracy and tracking speed. I found that the mouse's optical sensor was able to keep up with even the fastest movement, making it suitable for fast-paced games like Overwatch or Diablo II. The mouse also felt solid and heavy, which is a great indicator of its build quality.

However, I did notice that the Verco EVM 2 has some design quirks that may be an issue for users with larger hands. The sides are curved in such a way that it's difficult to lift the mouse off the surface without applying too much pressure. This is because the flat top surface makes it hard to find traction, and the mouse tends to slip out of your fingers when trying to lift it.

**Wireless Latency**

As for wireless latency, I was disappointed to learn that I couldn't perform any meaningful tests using specialized tools. Instead, I relied on a website called Human Benchmark (humble benchmark.com) to measure my reaction time by clicking at the screen's command. While this gave me some basic insights into the mouse's performance, it wasn't enough to give me a definitive answer about wireless latency.

**Overall Experience**

After spending several weeks with the Verco EVM 2, I can confidently say that it's been an excellent addition to my gaming and work setup. The mouse has been reliable, accurate, and comfortable to use, making it suitable for a wide range of tasks. While there are some minor design quirks that may be an issue for users with larger hands, these don't seem to detract from the overall experience.

**Improvement Suggestions**

One area where I think the Verco EVM 2 could improve is in its ability to lift off the surface. As mentioned earlier, this can be a problem for users who try to move their mouse around without sufficient tracking space. I would recommend that Verco considers modifying the design to make it easier to lift off and reattach to the surface.

**Conclusion**

Overall, I think the Verco EVM 2 is an excellent value at its $15 price point. While there are some minor areas for improvement, these don't seem to detract from the overall experience. The mouse has been reliable, accurate, and comfortable to use, making it suitable for a wide range of tasks.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enPaul you in the shot man he's going to walk in the shot and just leave the room that's cool man he's going to leave all right see you man hey what's up everyone Danny here in this video we're going to be checking out this the velocifire evm 2 Wireless vertical Mouse which goes on Amazon for around $15 and if you look at the product page nowhere in the description does it say anything about gaming what you do see though are keywords like urgan omic comfortable and strain which is exactly what this mouse is meant for it's targeted towards people who have risk pain from being on the computer for long hours which may come in the form of carpotonal syndrome arthritis or other various forms of wrist injury and I'm actually one of those people I have Lupus with similar symptoms to rheumatoid arthritis so I've dealt with risk pain in the past from being on the computer for too long and at my work actually at my day job where I'm on the computer most of the day I use a vertical Mouse uh a much more expensive one though I was for enough to not have to pay for it myself because it was provided by my company but I have been using a vertical Mouse every single day at work for the past few years so I am a bit familiar with the form factor so let's check this out and see if it's something that you might be interested in before we dive into the mouse itself let me try to explain the concept behind vertical mice the whole point of it shape is to keep your hand in a more natural position to make your palm face down when using a conventional Mouse it requires pronating the wrist or turning it inwards which strains it you can try this at home right now on your computer as you're watching this lift your hand up as if you're giving a handshake with your wrist completely relaxed then turn it so that your palm is facing completely down you should feel some pressure in your wrist and forearm now add in some finger movements and that feeling should become even more apparent now turn your hand back to the vertical position and then move your fingers and you should notice that it's more comfortable the difference may feel small in the few seconds that you just did that but add that up over the the course of many hours over multiple days weeks months and even years and it could cause discomfort and even long-term wrist pain so vertical mice try to help alleviate that hopefully this explanation and exercise help you understand this a little bit more but now onto the mouse itself the evm 2 comes in a small compact box not much larger than the mouse itself inside you have the mouse which is wrapped in a thin soft foam pouch and some paperwork there's not too much exciting information in the documentation and there's no warranty information in it but according to Amazon this has a 12-month warranty if you never used or seen a vertical Mouse before this is going to look a bit odd this still has all the features and functions of a standard Mouse but it's laid out in a vertical orientation and due to the nature of being vertical and curvier to ergonomically fit your hand this mouse is asymmetric and can only be used in the right hand on the palm side you have your right click left click middle Mouse button and scroll wheel and a DPI changer which switches between 800 12200 and 1600 DPI on the dumb side there's a front and back buttons the material covering most of the mouse is a soft matte plastic which which feels good to the touch on the bottom surface it's hard plastic with four smooth pads for ease of gliding on whatever surface it's on I couldn't find any information on the optical sensor which isn't surprising as this isn't a very wellknown or popular Mouse but I'd assume at this price point it's just a generic sensor that's thrown into a lot of these sub $30 mice you can find on Amazon opening up the battery door there's a place to store the wireless Dongo and this uses two AAA batteries which are not included and I haven't owned the mouse for long enough to give a good gauge on the battery life since that could take up to months or even years to find out there is a power saving mode though that shuts the mouse off if it's idle for more than 8 minutes and clicking left or right will turn it back on there's also a wir version of this that cost $1 or less for those of you who hate batteries the only Lighting on this mouse aside from the optical sensor is right below where the thumb rests where there's a translucent strip this light comes on when you first on on the mouse and it blinks each time you change the DPI settings one blink when it's at 800 DPI two blinks for 1200 DPI and three blinks for, 1600 DPI there's no permanent indicator to let you know which DPI you're currently at it's roughly 4 and 1/2 in long and 3 and 1/2 in at the widest part where the knuckles sit and weighs just shy of 120 g with batteries since this mouse doesn't follow a conventional shape it's hard to give guidance as to if it'll be a good fit for your hand or not I can't show you this though these are the dimensions of my hand and this is my hand relative to the mouse I think if you have average or smaller Hands by standards of conventional mice then this would work for you but larger hands might have fingers overhanging the clicks are on the heavier side and they feel really solid and tactile here's a sound comparison to a few m I have on hand when it comes to wireless latency I couldn't come to a super meaningful conclusion and that's mainly because I don't have sophisticated enough tools to measure it the only way I could do it was using human benchmark.com which which is basically a website where you test your reaction speed by clicking when the screen tells you to as you can imagine doing this has a lot of room for human error and inconsistencies I did my best though and these are the results I got the average click speeds were about the same compared to my wir mouse but I managed to get my fastest click with the velocifire surprisingly enough does that mean that it has the same or less input lag as a wir mouse no not really it just means that I was slightly faster that one time and my reaction is likely too slow to push the limit of the wireless signal as for tracking this mouse performance well for my uses it's consistent and accurate for tasks such as browsing and video editing and I haven't experienced any skipping or jittering issues however I cannot comment on how it would perform for super precise tracking such as for high levels of gaming because I'm just a filthy casual for the games that I do leisurely play though such as Grand Theft Auto Diablo II and the occasional OverWatch it works fine and I may start using this as my main allaround Mouse just so I'm not switching between form factors whether I'm gaming or not so that's an overview of the mouse now let's get nit peeky and look at some of the things that I think could be improved on which for this mouse there's only one thing that I found noteworthy of critiquing this also happens to be a problem with most other verco mice due to their shape and that is the ability to lift off of the surface with a lot of standard mice the sides are designed so that you can grip them pretty easily with your thumb ring finger and Pinky to lift the mouse up when you run out of tracking surface with the evm 2 and most other burco mice designs I've seen it's not easy to lift due to the curved surface on the thumb side there's a nice large flat surface to grip on but on the palm side there's not so when you try to lift it up it kind of just slips and rotates between your fingers now if you try really hard you can lift it up without this happening but it definitely doesn't come naturally and requires more effort until you get used to it other than that though I don't really have any other suggestions to mention so conclusion time is this mouse worth it and I would say it is I've been using it as my main Mouse for the past few weeks and I've had no glaring issues with it the thing I mentioned earlier about the liftoff was just kind of suggestions for improvements I wouldn't say it's a deal breaker not to me anyway so I'd say $15 is a Justified price for this so I'll have this as well as the wir version linked down below with my Amazon link just in case you're interested in picking one up now if you're skeptical about it and you're not sure if you want to drop $15 on one of these then not to worry because I will be giving one away with

you're International or if you're like in Hawaii or Alaska then you can't enter the win because the cost of shipping this mouse there will exceed the cost of the mouse itself and velocifire is the one
