I love a big-ticket purchase as much as the next bloke, but I’m sure many of you, like me, are feeling the Euro Summer jealousy kicking in – so it’s time to start saving.
That doesn’t mean you have to put your wallet away, though. While big sales periods like Prime Day or Black Friday are stellar times to grab one of the best tablets or a new TV, you don’t need a huge spend or a massive discount to snag yourself some value.
Few devices emphasise that more than this vertical mouse from Ugreen. Covering it in my recent UGreen M571 Vertical Ergonomic Mouse review, it’s basically a Logitech Lift dupe, and it’s 74% cheaper.
Whether you plan on using it until it crumbles in your hand or you’re just looking to try a vertical mouse for the first time to see how it feels, this Ugreen mouse is a great option.
It has a 57º near-vertical angle to it’s ‘sail’ – a design that encourages a neutral, handshake-like wrist position that I personally found much more comfortable when using it for extended periods compared to my regular pointer.
One thing I loved about it, even compared to more premium competitors, is that the Ugreen M571 offers a much wider base and larger frame overall. This allows for stable movement across a wider range of hand sizes, as your entire hand, including your little finger, remains on the pointer.
It’s solidified itself as my at-home mouse and I’m buying another one to use in the office. However, that’s far from the only budget bargain available on Amazon right now, so here are three more of my favourite cheap buys that I’ve bought in the past.
