The feel of the M910BU’s buttons is solid, with a nice crisp tactile response for each click. While I was able to assign functionality to some of the buttons on the device with SteerMouse, certain buttons were off limits – including the volume adjustment buttons on the thumb-side of the unit. SteerMouse costs $20 and comes with a free 30 day trial. To customize the M910BU’s buttons in OS X, I used SteerMouse from Plent圜om Systems. This was a bit disappointing, given that the M910BU is billed as being Mac compatible. Beyond that, in OS X, you cannot assign functionality to any of the M910BU’s buttons without the aid of a third party application. Two of the thumb-side buttons let you adjust the volume up or down. In OS X, the left and right mouse buttons on the top of the base serve as left and right click, respectively. The manufacturer claims that the M910BU is compatible with both OS X and Windows. It comes with a palm rest to give your hand extra support. Hardware-wise, the M910BU looks good and feels well built. The M910BU is an optical mouse and in my testing works across most surfaces without issue. Personally, I like the dense feel of the M910BU when its fully populated by its weights. Inside the unit are removable weights, to adjust the feel of the M910BU. (One of the buttons comes in the form of a scroll wheel, while the other toggles the DPI for extra precision.) The thumb section gives you access to 4 buttons, while the top of the unit contains 5 buttons. This mouse is built for right-handed folks, with the thumb resting along the left edge of the unit and the other fingers positioned across the top. The M910BU has good looks and a comfortable feel, especially when compared with traditional mice. This particular model is a wired unit and connects to your computer via USB. Inside the box are a small CD containing Windows drivers, an instruction booklet, and the mouse itself. Within a few days, the aLLreLi M910BU showed up at my doorstep. I am not a gamer, but the idea of being able to assign functionality to each button was something I was most curious about. Typically, gamers buy vertical mice because they have better ergonomics (a contour grip) and quick access to multiple buttons. I’ve been a fairly satisfied trackball user for a number of years, so when the folks at aLLreLi approached me to review their M910BU Vertical Mouse, I was intrigued.
