When my arm ached a bit from mousing all day, I just switched to this. Fantastic. Now I use it almost all the time. Definitely less aching. In fact , none really.
I bought this on the recommendation of a friend who has been using vertical mice for some time. Having been a long standing fan of Logitech, I was keen to try the MX Vertical Mouse and see if it really was more comfortable than the traditional devices I’ve been using.
After a little bit of time to adjust to the different hand position, I’ve been extremely impressed with the comfort and efficiency in use, even over longer sessions. The device is easy to set up and configure, especially with the Logi Options software to walk users through. Connectivity is managed through tethering via USB-C cable, Bluetooth or the Logitech Universal Connector. It is quick to charge and the Li-Ion battery is efficient, reliable and reduces environmental waste. The device itself is extremely well designed, sturdily built and thoughtfully engineered.
The button placement is mostly spot on, however I cannot for the life of me understand why the device switcher, enabling you to use the mouse across up to three devices, is placed on the underside of the mouse. This means that users have to physically lift up the device and fiddle about with a recessed button on the underside whenever the mouse needs to be used on a different device. Compared to the easy to access switch placement on the M720 Triathlon (my previous daily driver), this is a really poor design choice and reduces efficiency in workflow across multiple devices such as laptops and tablets. I also noted the loss of functionality for the mouse wheel, with both the tilt wheel function and smooth scrolling mode not present. For the price, I was a bit disappointed to see these design choices made. I would hope that they would be addressed in a future revision.
These relatively minor issues aside, this is overall a great mouse which is extremely comfortable to use and offers a great deal of precision and accuracy in a stylishly designed, well built device.
This mouse’s ergonomic shape works well for me. But as a wireless device using the little receiver that comes with it, it wa not useful. The tracking was all messed up, skipping and jumping and impossible to use. After months of beig annoyed, I contacted Logiteh support and they advised using it via Bluetooth instead, which seems to have worked, and now it’s operating fine wirelessly!
I am enjoying using this. It is really great. The only downside is that there is no place on the mouse body for the Bluetooth dongle and if you don’t want to use it you can easily lose i
I’m not twenty something anymore and using PCs for both work and entertainment for the last 30+ years hasn’t done my wrists any favours. I bought this for my day to day work mouse and I think it’s actually helped quite a lot, I used to have a wrist brace to help with carpal tunnel and I’ve not used it in ages now.
It’s Logitech so well made, excellent support, expensive price, the USB-C charged battery lasts ages and the software doesn’t do much. I’d love to see what a full of ‘G’ version would look like for us old gamers.
I adopted a cheaper alternative vertical mouse to help with wrist pains, which has been helpful and largely successful.
The reason for moving from my existing vertical mouse to the Logitech MX Vertical mouse was:
1. It’s rechargeable
2. Size – it’s stable, slightly taller, and overall more comfortable to hold for me
3. Button clicks are much smoother and reliable
It is expensive but hopefully as good as the MX keyboard that I bought last year.
The vertical mouse is very good, and pretty comfortable. I’m not convinced of it for gaming, but that wasn’t the main motivation for me buying it.
Works well with the standard Logitech receiver and software (on my Mac).
My one comment is that I have very large hands, and as a consequence, I find that my little and right hand ring fingers drag on the mouse mat. That said, the “handshake” grip position is very comfortable, and the thumb position means that, unlike the MX3, I don’t keep activating the additional peripheral button controls (unless I actually intended to).
Net result is a mouse that is comfortable and ergonomic to use, definitely not a gaming mouse. But it would be worth testing to make sure that it’s comfortable if your hands are either very small or very large, preferably before purchase.
The design helps rotate your wrist during use to alleviate the strain you get from a conventional mouse. This has already been a gamechanger for me and is much more comfortable. The number of buttons is a plus and they can be mapped to different functions. The scroll wheel has a nice action too. The reason for 4 not 5 stars is the fingers feel just a little too distant from the thumb in the resting position but this is a minor issue.
I’ve tried the Logitech mx non vertical mouse and the anker vertical mouse. My wrist would still hurt after extended use to the point I have to stop working, the anker mouse just didn’t quite fix my issue but was a good short term relief.
I don’t to ow what it is, I think it’s the exact angle of this mouse but I’ve gone from getting worst pain every day to literally no pain what so ever. The responsiveness of the mouse is nothing like the cheap anker one and is like a gaming mouse! I may not be a hardcore gamer but I’ve swapped to only use this mouse to play games too!
It’s not so vertical like the anker where I can’t really play games with it. But angled enough that it’s not so tough to play games with. It’s really made a huge difference for me!
Works right out of the box however even charging to 100% takes very little time. It does take a bit to get used to finger positioning however its not a big challenge.
I’m a big fan of vertical mice. Since I started using them around 5 years ago I can’t go back to normal mice anymore. And this is a really great mouse with fantastic performance and features compared to others. If you have a multi-device setup, say a Windows PC alongside a MacBook, the ability to seamlessly move your mouse from PC to MacBook by just dragging it off the screen feels like magic. You can even copy and paste stuff between devices… or was that a feature of the Logitech keyboard? In any case, it’s all under the same ecosystem and I can attest to those features working really well.
However, despite how much I wanted to like this mouse for all of that, it’s unfortuantely not as comfortable as my Anker vertical mouse. This mouse is a bit too bulky and heavy, and it’s shape makes it not as nice to use. Comfort is really important to me as I use a mouse for multiple hours every day and so that made this mouse a no-go in the end.
I bought the mouse for work mostly since I needed something sturdy and that would last me more than the other 3 cheap vertical mouses I bought before (more on that later). Apart from a minor “design” flaw I would say this mouse is great.
Pros
– Truly ergonomic, my hand fits just right and my wrist is in a more comfortable position
– You can connect it via bluetooth or through the dongle (more on this later)
– Long Battery life, it came charged and haven’t charge it ever since.
Cons.
– Although is a massive mouse, Logitech didn’t though about a compartment to store the USB dongle, I mean is a 80+ big mouse, they could have made a small opening to put the dongle in when not using it, just like the other 3 cheap manufacturers I mentioned above
I do like how ergonomic it is however it feels a little light compared to my MX mouse. It’s not built as well as the MX models and it doesn’t look as good but it does the job. I feel less strain on my forearm
The overall design of the mouse is fantastic, it really fits naturally into my large hand. One thing I wish was improved would be the build quality, especially of the scroll wheel which seems particularly prone to wear after long term use. Other than that it’s a great produc
This is a good mouse in every way. After I started using it, my elbow pain decreased. I just think it’s a little too big. As someone who is 1.80 cm tall and assumed to be long-fingered, it was a little big for me. If it was a little smaller, I would have checked it more easily.
Takes time to get the most benefit but after a few weeks of using it the pain in my hand is a lot better. Very pleased with it and glad I purchased. Would not go back to a standard mouse or trackpad.
My tech son recommended this item for me, as i was having some pain in my wrists after been in the computer the whole day. My discomfort is gone and has great battery longevity so it takes long before a charge is needed.
I honestly don’t think I can ever go back to using a normal mouse. I mostly use this for work but occasionally for gaming too (when I have the spare time!). I’ve had it for about a year & a half and it’s starting to break down a little with clicks – but it’s worth mentioning that I do typically use it throughout the entire day and night for work, so it’s no surprising with the amount I’ve clicked away on it.
I have really bad carpal tunnel & using this has been immensely helpful with reducing the pain while I work. I cannot recommend it enough!
The flaws in the product are related to durability. I purchased the first in 2019 and I’ve recently had to take it apart and replace all of the microswitches as they started to fail (registering multiple clicks for one single press). 4 years product life isn’t terrible but it’s not great either for a mouse that costs as much as it does.
Despite the flaws mentioned I do still recommend this mouse. If the shape works for you like it does me then it’s a great help in reducing issues related to pains and strains, it’s just a shame that it doesn’t last that long before you need to repair it.
Normally use an MX Master 3 and I’d been getting intermittent pain in my wrist due to extended mousing over the last zillion years. It got to the point where I thought I should do something about it. So I got this mouse. Takes a week or two for the difference to become apparent but it has allowed my wrist to recover a little and I no longer get any pain. I’ll go back to the MX in a few weeks and see if the pain comes back. Spoiler alert: It almost certainly will.
Mouse is fine for general use although the lack of buttons and the configurability is poor. There’s no super fast scroll wheel which is annoying. The software allows button configuration but the one I use most, minimise window, seems to only work on some apps. Otherwise it operates as a middle button and you get scrolling in a browser which I don’t want. The software control of the mouse is significantly inferior to the MX Master 3. I’ve switched off almost all of the “functionality” because they don’t work and just use it as a basic mouse. For that it’s fine. For gaming it’s OK, at least as OK as a normal basic mouse but again the lack of buttons and their configurability is an issue. But of course my wrist isn’t hurting which is the main point.
This was the mouse everyone I know or work with recommends but I just couldn’t see how I would get use to an ergonomic mouse and not use a mouse with wrist rest. I kept reverting back to my old mouse and mouse mat at first as I did initially feel a bit of pain in my lower arm muscle but I guess it’s a bit like going to the gym for the first time or playing badminton and you use muscles you are not used to using. After about 3 weeks I had no pain whatsoever and it seems so natural to use. I can’t ever envisage going back to any other mouse. What’s more, I have charged it a couple of times just in case but it has never actually needed charging so far.
As many other reviews have mentioned, this mouse will take some getting used to. In my case it took a few weeks before I realised I had somehow simply got used to it without noticing. It’s odd – at first you actively try to keep your hand off the desk, but then you realise it doesn’t matter and your hand relaxes into using it.
I’ve burned through THREE of Logitech’s now discontinued “TrackMan Marble” mice… why that product was discontinued I’ve no idea, as it was a terrific design that I’ve used for over 20 years. I started using it left handed before using it with either hand. I miss that option.
I would advise using this mouse with a large (wide) mouse mat, so that your hand can glide on the desk without any issues – I bought a wide gaming mouse mat that my Goldtouch split/ergo keyboard also sits on and that works well for me.
I’ve been using this for a few months, and the battery life is perfectly acceptable. If the mouse acts up, you can plug in the supplied USB-C cable to charge it (keep using it whilst it is charging) and disconnect it when the green light goes out – something I’ve only had to do once as the battery lasts a few months between charges.
A great mouse if you’re right handed and suffer from wrist injuries – with patience to get used to it.
I have been suffering from pain and discomfort when using a conventional mouse, and this device is helping. I miss the sideways scroll and freewheel scrolling that my previous MX Master gave me. I’d also like this mouse to be a tad heavier; being taller, you have to make a conscious effort to grasp it, and if you miss, it falls over or goes skating across the desk. A little more “heft” would IMHO make it easier to get hold of.
I cannot with any of these mice (vertical or the MX) make use of the thumb buttons. I don’t understand what to brace against when pressing them, and in any case, my hands don’t seem to be wired to permit my thumb to operate them.
Overall this is an amazing mouse and I’ve had it since about 2020. I would definitely describe myself as a heavy user. The great thing is that you can switch it to multiple different devices. Unfortunately, the backwards clicker seems to treat it as three clicks rather than one these days. For the price it’s a tad annoying it has this failure after 2 and a half years. That being said it will now travel with me and I’ve recently purchased a hard case for it! It’s still a great mouse but price wise I just thought the backwards clicker would have lasted longer. Battery life is solid.
However, the pain in my arms has faded away. Not overnight, but after a couple weeks I realised that I wasn’t really experiencing it so much anymore. And for that this is worth the crazy price.
But if Logitech ever read these reviews they should really take note: people with health issues should not have to pay more for tackier products! Give this the same quality as the MX Master range.
This would not be suitable for gaming at all, is difficult to use for precise graphic design software (like Photoshop). Maybe with practice this could be overcome.
Long spreadsheets and code are difficult to navigate with this mouse. It lacks the additional scroll options and some buttons found in the MX master whilst costing a lot more than. If I have to do a lot of work in Excel end up swapping to my MX master.
The battery life is great, I rarely need to charge it at all I use it everyday but it is months between charges at moment. (I’ve had this for about 8-10 months I think).
I’m still happy with it but seems that Logitech are somewhat taking advantage at of the lack alternative choices. This is not worth the 110 RRP and the current 90 on Amazon is steep unless work will pay for it. I paid less around 70 at the time still a bit much compared to the MX master.
Logitech are in the process of replacing the old “Unified Receiver” with the newer “Bolt” which is not backwards compatible for the USB adapter. This uses the older Unified receiver.
Therefore if you’re not in the Logi(tech) ecosystem already or don’t have existing Unified receiver accessories it is a good time to explore alternatives. I would recommend looking at the “Lenovo Go Vertical Wireless Vertical Mouse”. It might not be as good but is half the price.
If you RSI isn’t too bad yet I think the MX master (any version really but check the Bluetooth version is compatible with your machine) or Microsoft Sculpt products.
I’m very glad that I did. This mouse tracks just as well as the wired gaming mouse I was using, precise and responsive, and the settings allowed me to adjust it to 1600 DPI which I find ideal. The shape is comfortable and relieved pressure on my wrist that had been contributing to an onset of RSI.
What did happen, however, was my RSI problem moved from my right wrist to my right elbow after a few weeks of using it. This was because the mouse relieved the pressure on my wrist, but I was still sitting in a chair without any arm rests and at the wrong height, so my elbow was strained instead. Bottom line – this isn’t a magic cure-all for RSI, but it will help relive/stop RSI in your wrist, which may flag up other issues with your setup.
I now swap between this and an ambidextrous mouse every few days to spread the wear over both of my writs. It’s definitely the more comfortable of the two to use, and my right wrist has mostly recovered now thanks to it.
Overall, if you work on a computer every day, I’d say this is worth it to safeguard the health of your wrist and to gain a solid, responsive daily driver in the process.
Nevertheless, the ergonomics are absolutely tangible for me and many others, and in my opinion the mouse fulfils its promise.
The only issue I could identify is that pressing the “forward” button is difficult without accidentally pressing either the left or right button. That takes some exercise.
However, I believe most critics are looking at this mouse the wrong way. Yes, it’s overpriced and should cost 50 but it shouldn’t be compared to non-ergonomic premium mice. It’s a different kettle of fish and should be compared against competing vertical mice. The Anker one, which has been dominating the market (and Amazon) for quite a while, is incomparably worse. It’s even lighter. The buttons got stiff really soon and really bad. I tried another no-name vertical mouse which I had to return. Think of it this way: this is a vertical mouse which, unlike most of the others on the market, has Logitech standards of quality. Unfortunately, it’s overpriced. But please don’t dismiss it because it doesn’t have custom weights, doesn’t have horizontal scrolling, is not good for gaming, and doesn’t make coffee. This is a vertical mouse for those who like that design and don’t want to buy Anker.
Been having on/off wrist pain for about a year, so decided to try this and see if it improved things, after using this for 2-3 days now, I can definitely say it has done the job, wrist pain is gone and the mouse is very comfortable to use. Read some comments about others saying it took them sometime to get comfortable with, but after about 10-20 minutes I felt fine.
Mouse can be used with Bluetooth (if your device supports it) or you can use the included USB dongle if your device doesn’t have Bluetooth support or if you need mouse functionality in the BIOS or during Windows install.
Battery life is claimed to last 4 months on a full charge and I believe that, Windows reports battery still at 100%, despite being used for 12-16 hours per day, mouse can be charged using any USB Type C cable.
Only reason for 4 stars and not 5 is build quality, while the build quality isn’t poor, it could be better considering the price, some of the plastic doesn’t sit flush on the right side, not a major annoyance, but there are cheaper mice with better build quality.
Would not recommend for gaming, this mouse doesn’t have as good tracking or response times, but this also isn’t advertised as a gaming mouse.
I am very happy with this device.
First of all, the mouse is more comfortable to hold, being as the shape provides sufficient support for the whole hand, and not just the thumb, which combined with a slightly grippy soft touch rubberized texture allows the hand to sit stably on the mouse without any grip force. The soft texture is also more comfortable to hold than the hard surface on some devices.
The device also benefits from a built in rechargeable battery, and comes with a USB-C port and USB-A to USB-C charging cable which also allow the mouse to be used as a wired USB peripheral whilst charging – or in case wireless connectivity is not available.
The device will connect via bluetooth (which synchronises instantly and without any delay to an Apple MacBook Pro – which is not the case for all bluetooth peripherals). I’ve experienced no lag or breaks in connectivity connecting via bluetooth. A compact USB:A wireless dongle is also provided in case of no / poor bluetooth connectivity – although I’ve not needed to use this myself.
The device works out of the box without driver installation on a mac – but provides additional functionality if Logitech options software is installed, such as Battery Status indicator, button programming, DPI setting (with switchable profiles on a dedicated button), ability to set application specific settings, and “Logitech Flow” which allows automatic switching of wireless profile to a different device (computer / tablet etc.) when moving mouse to the edge of the screen, also allowing copying and pasting between devices.
Device supports 3 separate wireless profiles which can also be switched manually using a button on the base of the device – as well as automatically using the logitech flow software, allowing device to be used with multiple computers / mobile devices.
I’m particularly impressed with the (perceived) build quality of the device – the materials feel solid, the button and wheel action is positive, and the device feels “quality”. It’s too soon to say if this will translate to long term reliability… however this feels much better made than my previous device from another manufacturer, which started failing after only ~2 years of use.
In terms of negatives…
The thumb buttons (which are mapped to forward / back actions be default) don’t feel completely natural to use – especially the front button, which due to its positioning has to be pressed with the end of the thumb, and can result in pushing the mouse or accidently left clicking at the same time… this is probably something which may improve with familiarity, and is fairly insignificant overall.
It’s also worth mentioning that no provision has been made for the storage of the wireless dongle in the base of the device – so in the event that you don’t normally use the dongle, then have a device that requires usage of the dongle, then the dongle will probably be lost in the bottom of the “safe place” where you have stored it… or maybe that’s just me!
All in all, if you are looking for a wireless vertical mouse, especially one with full mac compatibility without requiring a separate dongle, then you’ll probably struggle to find a better alternative.
Depending on your current mouse it might not have enough buttons but I haven’t noticed this as a problem and with a compatible Logitech keyboard (like my K780) you can remap the mouse’s buttons for when the fn key on the keyboard is pressed. The Logitech software (Options and there’s another one for the Unifying USB connector) works without issue on my Mac. I did find that the Bluetooth connection was a bit laggy compared to the wired connection I used before but switching the Unifying connector has cleared this up and latency is not an issue now. I’m not sure if this is a general Bluetooth mouse issue, an issue with this mouse or a result of interference from where I’m using it.
I have hands like spades but I wouldn’t necessarily mind if this mouse was even slightly bigger! The general consensus, though, is that this is a big mouse so might be worth trying before buying if you have smaller hands. If it fits your hands it’s very comfortable to use.
Even the packaging mentions that this mouse has a learning curve but I haven’t noticed it being massively different to my general experience of computer mice – it’s striking how natural it feels in the hand. I definitely wouldn’t choose to switch back to a “horizontal” mouse now.
The USB-C port is rather stiff to plug/unplug and I’ve managed to knock it over already but I’m picking at small faults here, especially in comparison to how well it works the rest of the time. I like!
You should be warned, this mouse will take time to make any difference to your aches. Previously, I was using an old Logitech MX500 mouse and had developed awful wrist aches, to the point where I could use it for less than 5 minutes at a time.
At first, this vertical mouse only moved the ache to the outside of my wrist instead of the inside, but after several weeks of this (and a near refund!) I suddenly realised the aching was gone. Completely!
***Give it a chance to work. You’ll be glad you did!***
There are some flaws to this mouse, however.
Firstly, the “DPI” adjustment is massively over complicated and as unintuitive as can be.
Secondly, the “forward/backward” buttons are very poorly placed, leading to the forward button being unreachable for all but the most gigantic of hands. They do need to be lowered and moved backwards in order to be usable.
One other minor gripe I have is that this mouse, being much taller than other mice, is very easy to knock around on my desk as I move my hands around unless I’m careful.
I should also note that I’ve noticed that I’m “phantom clicking” far more with this mouse, similar to the reviewers at the “Linus Tech Tips” youtube channel, where I think I’ve clicked but actually haven’t. Clicking or double clicking is also occasionally interpreted as a short “click & drag”.
I haven’t rated for battery life, because I’m using it with the USB-C connector attached, effectively turning into a wired mouse.
