The J-Tech Digital V628X is a very uniquely designed vertical mouse. It has an adjustment to allow you to change the angle, but unfortunately, our unit didn't seem to tighten enough and the angle didn't stick. It has a large base that looks like a dock but is connected to the mouse at all times; this makes the mouse very bulky and heavy and increases the drag on your desk. While the CPI is adjustable, unfortunately, the sensor is quite inconsistent.
Our Verdict
The J-Tech Digital V628X is a mediocre office mouse. While its vertical design should help reduce wrist strain over long periods, unfortunately, its buttons are a little difficult to reach comfortably. It also has an angle adjustment, but it didn't tighten enough to work properly. The mouse feels poorly built overall, and it's too big for people with small hands to use well.
- Reasonably low click latency.
- Decently comfortable design should help reduce wrist strain.
- Very heavy.
- Very inconsistent sensor performance.
- Poor build quality.
The J-Tech Digital V628X is inadequate for FPS gaming. While it has an adjustable CPI, its CPI variation is so the sensor is quite inconsistent. It's also a very heavy mouse that will make it difficult to move around quickly while gaming. The mouse can only be used in palm or claw grip for anyone except those with small hands.

- Decently comfortable design should help reduce wrist strain.
- Very heavy.
- Very inconsistent sensor performance.
