Logitech MX Vertical Wireless Mouse Ergonomic Design - Graphite

As someone with hypermobile joints, this mouse alleviated a lot of aching in my fingers, hand, and wrist. I previously used a very low profile Magic Mouse and my hand was cramping so bad at the end of the day. With the MX mouse, I control it more from my whole arm rather than my wrist. It only took a day or two to adjust to the vertical style. No pain since. I said I bought it twice - I got the first one 6 years ago on a whim. It still works fine but the rubber in the high traffic touch points is wearing away and kinda gummy. (The texture was distracting.) Still works fine, it’s just been demoted to being a travel mouse for work.

Bought this Logitech MX Vertical Wireless Mouse for my home office on a lark and a splurge. Boy, am I glad I did! And my old arthritic hand and carpal tunnel wrist say it was well worth the extra $$. At the end of the first day, I was pleasantly surprised to find that I did not have the usual fatigue and achiness that I usually experience at the end of the day with my old, high quality, but horizontal mouse. This mouse has a nice heft and smooth button action, making it quick and easy to glide and click. It has a button on the thumb side that toggles between open windows, but I have not gotten into the habit of using it yet. It also has a button on the top of the mouse where you can adjust the speed of the mouse, minimizing the amount of wrist action needed to move the pointer across the screen. This also means less space required on the top of the desk for mouse operation; helpful when you are mousing across several computers, with multiple monitors. Being able to mouse across to a completely separate computer means one less mouse on top of the desk as well. Set up for this was easy. Get out the instructions just in case, then plug the USB wireless adapter in, and a dialog box opens up. I have it plugged into my personal laptop and I am able to move the mouse pointer over to my work laptop screen and it's external monitor and mouse there too. The mouse works on my work laptop even when my personal laptop of powered down. Woohoo! This would be an awesome mouse to use for making presentations on the big screen in the conference room from your laptop. I put it on the charger overnight before trying it out the following morning. I plugged in the adapter and it was ready to go. It took a little longer to get it to work on the second computer, only because I had to go find the box with the instructions in it. With instructions in hand, setting up the second computer only took a minute or two. I use the mouse five to seven days a week, 10-18 hours a day. In the eight months that I have had it, I think I have recharged it maybe three times. It recharges pretty fast. When the little red light by your thumb comes on, it is time to plug it in. I was able to use the mouse while it was charging. Well, except for the one time I let the battery run down completely before plugging it in. Oops... After seven months of using this mouse while working from home, I returned to my work office, with my work desktop computer and my old horizontal mouse. I only lasted for an hour before the wrist pain and hand fatigue came back with a vengeance, and had me running to HR, asking for a physical accommodation. They supplied me with the cheapo model vertical mouse. Yes, it was technically a vertical mouse, but the buttons were so clunky and hard to manipulate that my hand had to work twice as hard to click them, causing my mousing to be inaccurate. The inefficiency and frustration of the many mis-clicks required extra time, not in my busy schedule, to fix a lot of things that got clicked by mistake. It was more physically demanding than the horizontal mouse, defeating the purpose of providing relief to my hand and wrist. I stuck it out and did my due diligence and gave myself two weeks to get used to it, but at the end of the two week period and a lot of ibuprofen, the cheapo model had to go. Having given the cheapo a chance, HR relented and let me purchase a second Logitech MX Vertical Wireless Mouse to bring in to the work office. - Quality counts! - I now happily mouse using the Logitech MX Vertical Wireless Mouse both at home and at work. Financially, yes, it cost a little more, but it is cheaper in the long run, both physically and financially, and more preferable than the cost of having another carpal tunnel surgery, and the pain and suffering included in that process. I am a very satisfied customer and highly recommend this mouse to those who have hand issues, or to those wanting a really spiffy mouse to wow their friends and co-workers with when they use it with multiple computers.

I've been using the Logitech MX Vertical Wireless Mouse for about 8 years now, and I love it. Any time I have to use a traditional mouse it's an uncomfortable disappointment. If you haven't used a vertical mouse yet, there are a couple things you need to know. First - this is just a normal mouse, but it's turned about 60-degrees to the right. This let's your hand rest on the mouse in the natural position your arm wants it to be in without any effort to rotate. Second - you will knock it over, repeatedly, for a few weeks. Because you're used to a mouse that's a just an inch and a half or so tall, your natural movement from keyboard to mouse is going to be interrupted by the height of the MX Vertical. In time, you will get used to this, but for a week or two, you will knock it over when moving to the mouse, and when moving back to the keyboard. Don't worry, your muscle memory will change and this will stop. Third - once you get used to using the MX Vertical, you won't want to use any other mouse. It's a dramatic change in ergonomics, and you will feel the strain your wrist and forearm are under any time you have to use a traditional mouse. There are other verticals that are also great, but as a guy with large hands, this is the best I've found. I have 4 of these now - one at my office, one at my dining room table, one at my desk, and one that travels in my backpack. I don't need all of these, but its handy having them where I need them. Another reason for this is the mouse can pair with 3 devices. I have different devices in each of these locations, so it's handy not having to re-pair when I move between locations. The MX Vertical fits my hand perfect, and all buttons are where my fingers and thumb are naturally positioned. I've dropped them, knocked them down, bumped and tossed them and they keep on working properly, so from a durability standpoint, this will last. It's easy to pair with a push of a button - working with my Windows computers, MacBook, android phone and iPad. This thing just works great! The only downside I'd mention is the coating. After a couple of years, the coating tends to migrate where you apply pressure. This is most apparent where the thumb and pinky finger rest. This doesn't cause any functional issues, and is entirely cosmetic, but just be aware that after a couple years it won't look pristine. All-in-all, this is the vertical mouse to buy if you're a guy with larger hands. Get one, get used to it, and you won't regret it.

My review will start with it being an informal comparison with the J-Tech Digital Wireless Ergonomic Vertical USB Mouse. Although I found J-Tech one to be ergonomically good, I found the Logitech MX Vertical to be superior the moment I held it! I *immediately* felt how much better it was compared to that J-Tech. I happen to have medium size hands (U.S. glove size 8) so I can safely say the MX Vertical is designed for such hands. I find it very easy to agree with reviews/complaints from people with hands that are too large or too small; this is most obvious when using the forward and back buttons. I found them easy to access/press, but not if your (right) hand is too big or too small. For those suffering from wrist pain that can't use this mouse because their hands aren't the right size, you have my sympathy! But it makes me wonder if Logitech will ever address this shortcoming with bigger and smaller versions of the MX Vertical with respectively better button placements. Normally I wouldn't make a big deal out of this, but I have to point out how delightfully easy it was to adjust the pointer speed (if you installed the Logitech Options software first) by simply holding the pointer speed button on top and sliding the mouse left and right until you get the setting that works best for you. And unlike the J-Tech, the MX Vertical doesn't tip over during use, which I can only attribute to the wider and better designed base while being light enough to move as quickly as you wish. The Flow feature works very well between my Windows desktop PC (via the GMYLE Bluetooth [v4] Adapter Dongle) and old MacBook Pro (via the included Logitech Unifying Receiver USB dongle). This leads to concerns and downsides I've found with the MX Vertical: * While I've found that the MX Vertical works well with a variety of games (thanks to 4,000 DPI!), Flow must be turned off or the other computer(s) that is (are) part of your Flow setup must be in sleep mode or just plain off. This is especially important while playing first person shooters; you could simply be turning around and it will suddenly appear as though the MX Vertical no longer seems to be working when the mouse pointer has actually moved to the screen of another computer in your Flow setup! * While using this mouse via the Bluetooth connection, it will NOT wake up the PC from sleep mode; you must press a key on a USB keyboard or other USB device. Whether this is convenient or not is up to you. Another concern is that this can be inconvenient while configuring the UEFI options; as far as I know, there is no UEFI menu/options setup that recognizes Bluetooth devices, so be prepared by having the included USB Type A to C cable plugged in. * After using this mouse for a month, I have to say that I really like the battery life; I'm only halfway through the full charge I started with. Unfortunately, this brings up some related concerns: the only way to know for sure how much battery you have is to open Logitech Options; neither the Windows tray icon (which only shows what the Flow status is) nor the Mac OS dock icon show this. And after using the Logitech Performance MX for 5+ years, I'm surprised the MX Vertical only has a charging *status* indicator light instead of the Performance MX's three LED battery charging status AND *gauge* indicator lights. * I have only been using this mouse as my "daily driver" for about a month, so I can't give a durability rating this soon. However, I've noticed that the coating on the left and right buttons have already started wearing away a little bit. * The Logitech Options software is the latest example of the "flat UI" design that I'm not thrilled about, where clickable areas aren't always immediately obvious. I wouldn't be surprised if Logitech eventually makes a MX Vertical 2 some day that incorporates improvements that address the shortcomings I've mentioned. So until then, I'm going to enjoy using this MX Vertical without the wrist pain that went away shortly after I went vertical.

I was a dedicated trackball user for years (another Logitech product). Loved it. Didn't think I needed to change. Then my thumb started telling me otherwise and I had to listen. The adjustment is real. I won't sugarcoat it — coming from a trackball, this feels genuinely strange for the first week. Your hand doesn't know what to do with itself. Stick with it. It clicks eventually and then it just feels right. The vertical angle actually works. The whole point is keeping your wrist in a more natural handshake position instead of flat and twisted. Once I was past the learning curve I could feel the difference. Less strain, less fatigue, happier thumb. Logitech did their homework here. The build quality is excellent, the buttons are well placed, tracking is smooth and precise. Wireless works flawlessly. Feels premium in your hand. The switch was worth it. I miss my trackball sometimes — old habits die hard. But my thumb doesn't miss what I was putting it through and that's ultimately what matters. Bottom line: If your body is telling you something needs to change, this is a worthy upgrade. Give yourself the adjustment period and trust the process.

Other not completely flat mice claim to be "ergonomic", but the only way to completely remove stress from your forearm when using a mouse is with a "vertical" mouse. My 2020 K75575WW Kensington ergonomic vertical mouse developed a problem with the left button "stuttering" so that it sent multiple button clicks when pressed just once. I liked the Kensington quite a bit. But it always just a little bit on the "not quite as solid as I would like" side, and failing after just 2.5 years confirmed this. So I wanted a more solidly build mouse. A search for "ergonomic mouse review" showed that the Logitech MX Master 3S was clearly the best ergonomic mouse available. At $100 it was several times more expensive as others including the latest Kensington vertical mouse. But sometimes furgal doesn't mean the least expensive. Sometimes it can mean the most expensive if that comes with better performance, features and lifespan. So I ordered it. And while it is indeed an incredible mouse, the angle is only about 20 degrees. The result is that while there is some reduction in forearm stress compared to a flat mouse, it wasn't enough for me. By the end of my very long days driving my mouse almost as much as I drive my keyboard, I could feel the tension building up in my forearm. So after a week I returned it and bought this Logitech MX Vertical. It is slightly less expensive than the MX Master 3S, but still much more expensive relative to other options. And while it is lighter and a little less substantial feeling in my hand than the MX Master 3S, it still feels very firm and solid. Most importantly keeps my hand in the neutral position with my fingers at about 70 degrees. A great feature of the MX Vertical shares with the MX Master 3S is the thumb rest. The Kensington didn't have this and so my thumb rested on the desktop. If it was a bit warm and my hands would sweat my thumb wouldn't slide smoothly and I would have to lift my thumb off the desk when I went to move the mouse. Not a horrible thing, but if you spend 8+ hours mousing around it gets tiresome. The button clicks are crisp. Best of all when the button bottoms out it feels like it is pressing against the case. It doesn't feel like travel is being limited by the switch itself bottoming out like the Kensington felt like it did. My hope is that this will keep the switch from wearing out so fast as happened with the Kensington. One slight negative of the MX Vertical is that I don't feel like I am quite as accurate in being able to move the cursor to a specific spot on the screen without some amount of conscious effort. Instead it doesn't go exactly in the direction I intended and overshoots where wanted it to stop. As such it might not make the best mouse for video games. [UPDATE: There is a bit of a learning curve in moving the mouse accurately. In the last couple weeks my need to make a more conscious effort to move the mouse to a specific spot on the screen is going down. Still think it is likely to not be as accurate as a flater mouse]

I don't often write review, but this needs to be said: this mouse could be great. I believe the last review I left on Amazon was for another Logitech mouse, the Mx Master 3. I only left that review because I absolutely loved the mouse. The main scroll wheel is am absolute delight to use (not to mention very useful), the additional thumb scrollwheel comes in handy in apps that involve a lot of side scrolling (or in apps like Photoshop where it can control brush size). It has two side buttons perfectly positoned I use them as back/forward buttons). And it has a gesture button, which you can press and then move the mouse in a certain direction to trigger a specific function. The bluetooth connetion sometimes dropped for a second or two, but that was really only noticeable in games; using the included USB dongle eliminates this issue completely. For $99, it was hands down the best mouse I ever had, and I've purchased so called "gaming" mice that cost 1.5-2x that amount. However, I've since developed what seems to be an ulnar nerve issue in both hands. On my right hand, this makes the ulnar region of my hand extra sensitive. Unfortunately with the MX Master 3, that's exactly the portion of my hand that is dragging against the mouse pad (I have pretty large hands). I read that a vertical mouse can help with cubital or carpal tunnel symptoms, and based on my experience with the MX line, I thought the MX Vertical would be the perfect replacement. It hasn't quite lived up to those hopes. To be clear, there is nothing bad about it. The main disappointment is of course the scroll wheel. Once you've used the wheel on that mouse, everything just pales in comparison. One spin could make that wheel scroll for up to 10-15 seconds; the wheel on the MX Vertical stops instantly. The MX Master 3 has a button that switches the wheel between buttery smooth scrolling and a ratcheting effect. The MX Vertical has only one mode. It's not even a tilt wheel. Also disappointing is the lack of additional buttons. It has the two thumb buttons, and there's a handy button on top for adjusting sensitivity on the fly. That's it in terms of additional functionality. It should be noted that the functions for these buttons can be customized using Logitech's software on both mice, and you can even set it on an application-by-application basis; for instance the button I use for "back" when I'm using Chrome automatically switches to inputting the letter B for use in a game I'm playing. It's very useful, and quite frankly makes the lack of additional buttons on the Vertical more disappointing. The main reason I purchased was for the ergonomics, and it certainly doesn't disappoint there. Going back to a regular mouse, you can really feel the difference in strain; it's slight in the moment, but it adds up. If you put your arm out like you are going to shake someones hand, that the arm/hand position when using this mouse. Now do the same, but turn your palm down toward the floor; that's the position using a regular mouse. It's not difficult, but it definitely involves more strain. I'll be keeping the mouse just for the ergonomics. But what makes it so tough to swallow is that this is the same price as the MX Master 3, which is superior in literally every other way. I didn't even touch on this because my desk is covered in a giant mouse pad so for me its not an issue, but the MX Master 3 can track on basically any surface including glass, while the MX vertical requires a more traditional surface. I can't imagine that all the additional technology packed into the MX Master 3 costs less than just changing the orientation of the mouse. So it kind of feels like Logitech is taking advantage of people who need it. If this mouse had feature parity with the MX Master 3, I think they could've charged more than $99, and it still would've been a better deal than the current iteration is. Logitech, if you put that lovely scroll wheel on a vertical mouse, hit me up. I'll give you my first born.

The Logitech MX Vertical Wireless Mouse has completely transformed my computing experience. As someone who spends long hours working at a computer and has used an Apple Magic Mouse for years, I was in search of a mouse that would prioritize comfort and ergonomic design without compromising on functionality. I am delighted to say that the MX Vertical has exceeded my expectations on all fronts! First and foremost, the ergonomic design of this mouse is exceptional. I have very large hands and was concerned that the ergonomics wouldn't line up with what I am working with for my body. This was not the case at all. The vertical orientation promotes a more natural handshake position, reducing strain on my wrist and forearm. It has made a noticeable difference in alleviating discomfort and fatigue after long hours of usage. The textured rubber surface provides a secure grip, further enhancing comfort. The wireless functionality is incredibly convenient. The mouse connects seamlessly to my computer via Bluetooth (or the included USB receiver), allowing for clutter-free desk space. The wireless range is impressive, and I've experienced no lag or connectivity issues. The rechargeable battery lasts for an extended period, eliminating the need for frequent replacements and reducing waste. My magic mouse was a battery burner and I would have to recharge those batteries frequently. In terms of precision and performance, the MX Vertical is outstanding. The high-precision sensor ensures smooth and accurate tracking and I've not experienced any issues in those areas. I programmed the customizable buttons and scroll wheel to better suit my needs, which was very simple to do. You can also easily adjust the sensitivity to your liking. The build quality of this mouse is excellent. It feels solid and durable in hand, giving it a premium and reliable feel. The thoughtful placement of buttons and ergonomic contours demonstrates Logitech's attention to detail in crafting a product that prioritizes both form and function. The Logitech MX Vertical Wireless Mouse is a worthy investment. I don't regret my choice to try something new!

Great product for bigger palms. Reduces the strain in the wrist.

Great for long hours of work (especially if you’re back to work prior to having RSI). Works a treat in productivity scenarios and surprisingly is a great gaming mouse too (Cyberpunk, Overwatch etc). Battery is practically infinite, even after a year of use only needed to recharge it once.

Excelente compra. Fue una buena decisión comprar este mouse, ya había comprado teclados y mouse de esta marca, son de buena calidad y hasta la fecha siguen funcionando muy bien. Me anime a comparar este mouse porque trabajo mucho en la computadora y sentia que me estaban doliendo mucho las muñecas por la posición del mouse. Fue la mejor elección, el dolor se me quitó, podría decir que al mes, es mucho más cómodo, tiene buena velocidad. Lo puedo usar en 3 dispositivos conectados. Me funciona en windows y mac y en Ipad pro de 4ta generación. Me encanta que cada botón se puede personalizar incluso en apps específicas, como adobe e illustrator. Se carga con cable usb bastante rápido y la pila me dura más de 2 semanas (Uso el mouse aproximadamente 5 días máximo 8 horas) El precio vale la pena la inversión.

Recomendado por meu ortopedista e realmente melhorou minhas dores no ombro e pulso

One of the best if not the best mouse i have owned.
