Trust Bayo tested: Birkenstock mouse for MMORPG junkies

Beef is the best Netflix series of the year so

The company Trust offers the rechargeable, ergonomic wireless mouse Bayo for around €35. Our author Schuhmann says: The vertical mouse is the Birkenstock of mice. It may not look very sexy, but it is ideal for marathon sessions in strategy games and MMORPGs. You can also work with her, she protects against the mouse arm. It also lights up now, but you could really have saved yourself that.

That is the gag with ergonomic mice: I switched to a vertical mouse for the first time in March 2014, at that time I no longer only used the PC to play World of Warcraft or Civilization V for hours, but also started to earn my money with writing .

This article was originally published in November 2021 and was updated for you in April 2023.

This doubled the time I spent sitting at the PC, clicking wildly and moving the mouse pointer over the monitor, either to activate skills in WoW or to move letters and sentences around.

After a few days of the new constant strain, my mouse arm hurt, my elbow hurt, I felt somehow uncomfortable: the carpal tunnel syndrome was approaching.

You hold a vertical mouse like a wedge.

Physical pain ends with vertical mouse, but you have to rethink

The physical pain was gone almost immediately when I got my first vertical mouse, which was around 20 euros at the time. For this began the mental torment:

My friends laughed at me, shaking their heads at this oddly bulky thing in my hand, and my brain had to rewire itself. After all, for decades I had twisted my arm when I sat at the PC, now the arm stayed straight. It was kind of weird.

I felt like I was doing something terribly wrong for days, but my arm was fine.

The gag with the vertical mouse is that arm and hand remain in a natural position and grip the mouse like a wedge: index and middle finger rest on the left and right mouse button, your thumb holds the mouse firmly and you remain relaxed .

That’s how I like the Bayo Trust mouse after 4 months of testing

Is such a mouse suitable for gaming?? A two-button mouse is completely sufficient for certain games. It’s a quiet, introspective way of playing.

Some MMORPG players swear by mice with 16 programmable buttons in order to reach every obscure skill at the push of a button, the left index finger can then be used to trigger the port stone or you can make cookies for everyone: for those min/max players who have 0 .3 seconds, a vertical mouse is hardly suitable.

Such a mouse, like the Bayo Trust, is suitable for games that you can play with the same pulse as you write a text, surf through an Internet forum or do your bookkeeping. So for games that you can pause: It is suitable for games that wait for you until you are ready.

The Bayo Trust officially has 6 buttons and you can set 800-2400 DPI, but I don’t use all of these functions in everyday life. The thumb buttons tend to annoy me when I accidentally go back a page in the browser.

For me it is important that the mouse works stably – it does. The few problems I had with the mouse in 4 months could be solved by briefly pulling the USB stick that came with it out of the computer and then reinserting it.

Important: Rechargeable batteries – Less important: It lights up

For that I appreciate the Bayo Trust: The Bayo Trust ergonomic mouse is a further development of the simple vertical mice that I got in 2014 and 2018:

  • In 2014 I bought a wireless mouse from CSL for €25 – today it costs €20. That was the absolute “basic vertical mouse”. With the mouse, I had to stop and get up from the PC and get new batteries for 7 years.
  • In 2021 there is the Bayo Trust: It works just like the old mouse, only it has rechargeable batteries, so I don’t have to constantly replace the battery. In order for it to charge, the mouse must be connected to the PC via a cable – otherwise it also works wirelessly.

    • The other “new feature” the Bayo Trust offers compared to the old standard vertical mouse is that it glows a bit over a side bar. But if you get such a mouse, you can probably do without it and the function can be switched off.

    What are others saying about the mouse? At Amazon there are now 5156 reviews about the Bayo Trust, with 4.5 out of 5 stars the mouse is excellent:

  • Some, who were still skeptical about the purchase because of the low price, say that after a few months of using the vertical mouse, they would never go back to a conventional mouse because the wrist pain is finally gone
  • It is often recommended to buy a money pad with the mouse to protect your hands further – I also use a money pad and can advise:
