Summary

  • Senior reviewer Victoria Song of The Verge switched to using a vertical mouse to halt wrist pain experienced when using a regular mouse, enabling a pain-free experience when undertaking hobbies that require wrist usage.
  • She uses the Logitech MX Vertical wireless mouse, which doesn’t require a USB dongle, has a long battery life, and two customisable buttons which she sets to forward and back functions.
  • The mouse is usable both wirelessly and wired, but she warns that it attracts dust and cat hair, and needs to be cleaned regularly or it will become stained with dead skin and finger oil.
  • She also wished it came in different colours like the cheaper Logitech Lift, which is smaller and so not suitable for people with piano fingers.
  • However, she warned that there is no left-handed version of the Logitech MX Vertical, advising left-handers to opt for a version that caters for both right- and left-handed users.
