Logitech MX Vertical Wireless Mouse Ergonomic Design - Graphite

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]

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.

I purchased this mouse, after years of using the Evoluent vertical mouse. In my opinion the Evoluent is still the best ergonomic mouse on the market by far. Despite being pricy, I bought two - one for work and one for home. Unfortunately, mine is a Mac household, and Evoluent has pretty much given up on the Mac people. It started a few years ago when they put an announcement on their website that they needed to update their driver for the latest Mac OS upgrade. According to them, they had emailed Apple a few times to secure a developers kit but weren't receiving any response. They pointed everyone to a third party driver they could use in the meantime. After a couple years, and a couple more Mac OS upgrades, the third party driver no longer works. I now own two very expensive paperweights. The message remains unchanged on Evoluents website. Apparently they've never heard of telephones. Anyway, having had wrist issues in my mouse hand for years, I had to go hunting for a replacement. I tried a couple of different ergonomic mice before settling on this one. It's actually very good, which you can consider high praise coming from an Evoluent guy. With these ergo mice, the angle is key. Some of the others I played with didn't seem to have the proper angle. The MX, on the other hand, feels just right. It's got a good weight to it and feel comfortable in my hand. This model is supposedly designed for a larger hand, which mine is, so no complaints in that department. The angle feels correct and does the job. I'm also happy that Logitech apparently has Apples phone number, because they don't appear to have any problems keeping their driver updated. The app you download to configure the mouse does a good job of letting you tweak the various controls. Battery life seems pretty good so far. I like that the MX has an on/off switch to help extend the battery life. The mouse does lose one star however. For those occasions you are moving your cursor across the screen and your mouse comes to the edge of the mouse pad, the Evoluent has a nice indent for the thumb that makes it easy to pick the mouse up and bring it back to center. The MX, however has no such grip assist. Because of the way its angled, you have to grip the mouse hard (at least by comparison) in order to pick it up and bring it back to center. I can see how, if you're not paying attention and using a strong enough grip, you could drop it. Because of the mouse I'm coming from, it's a bit of a pain to me when I have to pick the thing up. All this said, the mouse seems to be a solid performer. It's comfortable in the hand and does what its supposed to do. If Logitech ever does a modest redesign and includes a better grip for mouse lifting, I'll be happy to give it the fifth star.

I would like to say this is the perfect mouse and probably the best mouse you could buy on the market and it doesn't even come close. You can modify the mouse however you like with a click on the app. It's truly been a life changing experience with this mouse. With that being said, the perfect mouse does have a few flaws but nothing that would make me not recommend it to anyone only just be aware of these things. 1. It's a vertical mouse, sometimes it gets in the way and your wrist will knock it over, it will happen I promise you. 2. Logitech has a Flow feature meaning you can connect the mouse to three different computers at once if need be, qyeah I'll say it again, three computers connection! Wow! Well I only use it for two computers, the Flow works flawlessly but my gripe is how it sometimes doesn't sync with my Logitech keyboard Ergo K860, unfortunately, the keyboard doesn't come with the same Flow feature meaning I have to depend on the mouse to do it and it doesn't work sometimes and I have to switch between the mouse transition button to the key board transition button which makes for a long headache sometimes. 3. Believe it or not connection is sometimes an issue, it losses Bluetooth connection often and it doesn't matter which computer I use I have the same issues at work and home so I use the dongle for straight connection. Oh wait there are issues with the dongle connection too? Say it ain't so? It is! The issue comes when you have two dongles like me, the keyboard and the mouse, and try to connect both, like I said I have two computers and Logitech will not allow for their ”universal dongle” to connect to two different computers at the same time terrible design flaw. 4. Again, this mouse is incredible but it can sometimes be a little too much incredible, I know, I know but hear me out. The mouse is flawless fast, one quick wrist jerk and that mouse pointer on the screen is jumping all over the place, it's been hard to find a happy medium with the pointer, it's either you adjust to slow it down, making it too slow, or adjust to make it fast, which is too fast, again no happy medium even though there are plenty of settings to toggle with. I believe most vertical mouse tend to be that way anyway only with this mouse you can really tell the difference and that could be a good thing or bad thing depending on your perspective, it's sometimes a bad thing for me on Excel sheets. So the final verdict is this is still the best mouse out there and worth every penny and I would still give this 10 stars if possible, it's been a wonderful experience with this mouse. Again, the negatives are not bad or to make someone not buy it and considering the other features this mouse can do I recommend anyone who works all day on a computer to buy this product I highly recommend it.

Definitely reduces fatigue. Easy to use. Great response with less space needed for mouse movement. Stays charged for months you actually forget to charge it, ask me how I know :). I play video games with it and never have any issues with the movement and response time of mouse. And since my car wreck where I broke my thumb this is the only mouse that gave me the same as before the wreck abilities to move and operate the mouse. Highly recommend. One very broken thumbs up :)

Wow! What a mouse!! I have used a Trackball for at least 20 years... But then I had Carpal Tunnel Surgery and then I got Trigger Thumb, so mu husband let me borrow one of his old mice... It was better, but not... I looked and looked until I found this one! WOW!!! Did I Say WOW??!!! The handshake hold is perfect for my trigger thumb! The size of it is perfect for me! Having the ability to turn the volume up & down on the thumb side is Super Nice! The Scroll Wheel is Super Smooth and the cursor itself is perfectly accurate! It works so well with my hand and my computer! The Look of it, the Feel of it, the Feel of my hand when I'm done using it for the day! Just Wow!! Super Compatable!! Super Excited over this Mouse! -- Seriously I am! (FYI: Goes Great with this Keyboard too!)

I had mainly used a MX Master 2S before this and because of my heavy usage I did start to feel uncomfortable after a few hours of use every day and that's when I decided to purchase MX Vertical. Now after almost 9 months of usage this has become the mouse I use on a daily basis, completely replacing MX Master 2S. Comfort: It took me about a day or two to really get used to using it because of the positioning and ever since then my wrist has never felt any discomfort, literally. I don't have a mouse pad but because of the angle that my wrist is contact with the desk when I use it, this has never been a problem. What I also love about the ergonomic design is that my hand can actually just rest on it when not doing specific tasks, and it just fits my palm perfectly. Functionality: I don't use it for gaming so I can't comment on that. However, comparing it with my Master 2S, there are some very obvious disadvantages. If you use Excel sheets a lot, or anything that requires horizontal viewing, the scrolling option is terrible. You can set up the function key on Logi Options+ and I use the side buttons for scroll right+left mainly because how easy it was to use with the Master 2S's side scrolling buttons. It is not comparable at all. With Master 2s, horizontal scrolling is smooth and precise. With this, it's basically useless. There are sites that just aren't responsive to the side buttons and when they do, you can never get to the precise point you want. Huge disappointment with that because I don't really use the side buttons for anything else. There is also no scrolling control with the middle button unlike the Master 2S, so you can't really scroll vertically as fast as you can when using Master 2S either. However I do use the middle button sometimes to just do the job for me so I'm ok with its basic functionality. The top button is mainly used as a look-up button for me, so far its working pretty well and honestly it probably makes not much difference if they just completely take this button out for me. Maybe some people can find use in it as a switch for scrolling or mouse speed, or something else. Overall, the customizability of these buttons is very good, and depending on personal use, I can see it being very useful. Battery life: Battery life is fantastic, never had any problem with it yet. I haven't really kept track but with my heavy daily usage (probably 10+ hours with no intense gaming), it can usually go for more than a month. You can also use it while it's being charged. Durability: I have unfortunately knocked it over the desk a couple times on hard vinyl floor and there seems to be no problem with it at all. Before purchasing this I saw some comments about how it stopped functioning after being dropped to the floor and I was really worried about it. However that is not my case at all. It is very durable in my opinion and does its job perfectly even after dropping it a few times. Overall, extremely comfortable to use. It helped with my wrist pain tremendously and now I use it for hours without feeling any discomfort. The functionality is severely disadvantageous compared to Master 2s and 3s, and possibly other gaming mouses as well, but if you are here because of wrist pain, this is the right product.

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

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.

Que mouseeeee, melhorou 100% minhas dores articulares e colo pra de forma significativa pois tenho tenossinovite. Já comprei duas vezes e recomendo. Tecnologia e saúde juntas.

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

One of the best, alot of options that make every thing so easy
