Verdict

The Cherry MW 4500 is a wireless vertical mouse featuring a distinctive 45° ergonomic tilt designed to promote a natural hand position and alleviate wrist strain for long-term comfort. Technically, it utilizes a 2.4 GHz RF connection via a nano USB receiver and an optical sensor with three adjustable DPI levels (600, 900, and 1200) controlled by a dedicated top-facing button. Main characteristics include a 6-button layout, including two thumb buttons individually assignable via Cherry Keys software, and an abrasion-resistant surface finish. Its primary pros are the effective ergonomic relief for productivity tasks and an impressive battery life of up to 6 months powered by two AAA batteries. However, notable cons include its right-handed-only orientation, a maximum resolution of 1200 DPI that may be insufficient for high-precision gaming or design, and some user reports of the smooth plastic body being difficult to grip for those with larger hands.
