Verdict

The Trust GXT 144 Rexx is a specialized right-handed vertical gaming mouse designed to reduce wrist and arm strain through its ergonomic handshake layout. Its core technical specifications include a high-precision optical sensor with an adjustable range of 250 to 10,000 DPI, a 1000Hz polling rate, and a guaranteed maximum speed of 100 inches per second with 20G acceleration. Key characteristics and pros include its lightweight 98g build, six fully programmable buttons via dedicated Windows software, onboard memory for five profiles, and customisable RGB lighting zones. However, notable cons include reported long-term durability issues with the scroll wheel, a stiff braided cable, and the lack of a left-handed version.
