Great improvement and refinement over the original version
I owned the original old version (blue lights) of this mouse. The mouse was great, but it was awkward to use and I consistently had click issues. Originally I had thought it was user error - that I had to get used to a thumb-index squeezing motion than the traditional down-click. However I've come to realize that it is an actual hardware issue. The click for the original Anker Vertical mouse (blue) had sticky mouse click buttons. Whether it was due to click pressure, over sensitivity, or a click-clearance, I found the mouse to constantly give unwanted clicks. It was infuriating trying to do work and I would unintentionally drag things or double click just moving the mouse across the screen. I've tried looking for new driver updates to resolve the problem but there are none (it was plug and play only).From the week I've used this mouse however, this click issue has been resolved. The click seem to have more clearance, as (in the click motion feels deeper) so there hasn't been any unwanted clicks so far. Also the mouse feels more ergonomic. The new version is LESS vertical than the previous mouse, it's more of sloping mouse to the left and the entire shape is more natural to a non-vertical mouse user to handle. The old version felt like you were gripping a handle of a drill or tool and took me months to get accustomed to. Because of the grip position clicking required you to squeeze your index and thumb together making an awkward clicking action. Since this mouse is more slowing the clicking action requires you to push downward which is more natural. This new version felt natural and less awkward to handle.The only cons I can find so far is the placement of the sensitivity switch. It is placed in the middle of the let and right click buttons and I often touch it unexpected with the middle joint of my middle finger. Your mileage (and finger joints) may vary however. Additionally, having owned the previous version for over a year, the rubbery coating began to peel off and become sticky. The new version does appear to have the same coating but obviously not peeling (yet). Only time will tell whether the new coating is more durable!Overall, I find this a worthy refinement. The fact it is the same price as the original also helps!

Super comfortable, but just feels off... Update: tracking fixed.
Purchased this mouse to replace my Microsoft SidewinderX5. The scroll wheel on the sidewinder is rubber and after 5+ years has started breaking down causing wheel to stick etc.I now work from home on the computer about 10 hours a day and came upon this new style of 'Vertical Mouse'. I really wanted to like this mouse as my wrist has been developing pain. Upon receiving I noticed the construction of the mouse is solid and attractive. Upon placing my hand on the mouse and resting my arm as I do at my desk, I noticed a more relaxed and natural feel to the mouse. So far so good.I plugged the mouse in, and drivers began installing. Driver's installed successfully. Ok! Ready to go!I began using the mouse for simple tasks, testing the click resistances and the scroll wheel speed. The wheel is a lot smoother than my old Sidewinder, almost too smooth. I do like the construction of the wheel with the metal or plastic center, will probably help keep from happening what happened to my Sidewinder.So, all good news so far, why the 2-star review? Well, I'm not sure if my product is defective, or its just the style of the mouse, however the movement axis just feels off.I'm not sure how to describe it, but utilizing the same muscle memory learned through years using my traditional style Sidewinder to achieve straight vertical movement results in a slightly diagonal movement of the cursor. The same problem also occurs while moving along the horizontal axis. This slight hindrance causes significant frustration when trying to make precise selections in word and excel documents using the cursor. Unfortunately, this issue has caused me to revert back to my Sidewinder for now.Maybe the mouse just requires some getting used to, so I may try giving it another chance in the near future. Should my experience change, I will update this review accordingly.Update 04/22/2016: Heard from Anker regarding my experience with this mouse and was offered a replacement on account of the current model potentially being defective. After a few pleasant exchanges via email, and confirmation of shipping address a replacement was sent on its way which was received just as speedily. I plugged in the new mouse and noticed the off-axis tracking was less-pronounced and the mouse was easier to handle. While using my old mouse, I had become used to a mouse pad with a built-in memory foam wrist support. I've realized that the vertical mouse is a bit more comfortable without this support as it is intended for you to keep your arm straight and flat on the desk while using. I have spent a bit more time using the mouse in this manner and am getting used to it. It is definitely more comfortable, however I am still hesitant to make the switch permanent for a couple of reasons.The main reason is the primary mouse button sensitivity/resistance makes them extremely easy to click inadvertently while your hand is resting on the mouse. On my old mouse I am able to rest my fingers on the buttons with only the occasional mis-click, whereas on the Anker vertical mouse I find this happening far too often, perhaps being enhanced by the vertical form, where your fingers are being weighed down with more force.The other reason is the forward/back browser buttons on the side of the mouse. This may be me nitpicking, or being stubborn, on the Sidewinder X5, these buttons are stacked vertically on the side of the mouse, making them easily accessible simply by moving the thumb causing unwanted wrist or hand movement. Having these buttons lined up requires the wrist to move for my thumb to swap back and forth between the buttons.I have bumped the review from two to three stars for the replacement model received, and will continue testing the mouse. Should any of my opinions change I will update the review accordingly, however for now, despite the 3-star review, I can still recommend this mouse to anyone looking to give vertical style mice a try. The feel is great, the construction is solid, and there have been no problems that Anker wasn't willing to help fix. Should you not like the mouse, I am confident Anker will also try to make things right for you as well.

Delicious cashews
I was a bit wary of ordering these cashews after having read several really bad reviews here (pertaining both to taste and to size). But the overwhelming number of good reviews tipped off the scales, and I won't lie, the "slow shipping benefit"/discount from Amazon helped, too, so I went ahead and ordered them. And I'm so happy I did! They are definitely fresh and utterly delicious, exactly what I would expect good quality cashews to be like. I would say at least 95% of the nuts are whole/unbroken. And even at full price, it's a great deal for two pounds. I would definitely recommend these to anybody.
