I use two,
It costs more but I like the additional thumb scroll and feels less bulky in hand
Cheaper and rather thicker. Maybe that's more ergonomic but I can't tell
I didn't think that I'd like it but palm rest is really good when using vertical mouse. Otherwise you might end up fighting with the friction of your palm against the desk.
While you don't care about gaming, I think having DPI switcher is a good thing. You will probably be using a different DPI than with flat mouse.
Thanks a bunch for your suggestions. I have to say, the palm rest is intriguing...
In general, I guess, the options that cost more than delux should have these too.
I'm not sure from your post of your are getting into vertical mouse or just looking around what to buy. If you want to get some idea how it will feel like, take an empty glass, wrap your hand around and try moving as if it was a mouse. The real thing will be thinner but the position will be somewhat similar. That way you can see if you might need the palm rest or not.
I've found that for me the elbow rest of the chair is important, so my elbow is the pivot point, not the wrist. But you might be more of an arm-mover than elbow-twister ;)
