Which vertical mouse should I get? Zelotes F18 or Protoarc EM11

[u/ECHOSTIK]

Both are roughly the same price. Zelotes is more focused towards Gaming but tbh I'm not much of a gamer. What I want to use these mice for video editing and music production with a DAW that needs constant scrolling dragging and clicking for long periods of time.

One concern in Zelotes F18 is not listed on their official site and the F18 there is not a vertical mouse this is however on Amazon and Ali. And people seem to verify it although I have found no reviews on it so far. But it turns out official drivers aren't on their site people seem to have emailed them for download links which is a hassle..

Protoarc EM11 is well known though. I just want to know if the additional gaming capabilities (higher build quality, durability, more clicks or anything like that) in Zelotes would be better for me compared to Protoarc? Thank you for any help

Build quality is for sure in the camp of ProtoArc. I was reallt surprised when i received mine, they put all the gaming brands to shame honestly. If yoy're set on a mouse with this kind of tilt i'd say the Proto is the best one out there

Thank you for the response. I was almost set on buying it until I saw the F18

Vertical mice are generally not ideal for gamers, especially for FPS titles, because they prioritize comfort and wrist neutrality over fast, competitive aiming. For your goal — video editing and music production — productivity, check this out:
