Here's one of the best vertical mice you shouldn't miss! The Logitech MX Vertical was designed with a specific shape to prevent wrist fatigue during extended use. Various companies, such as Microsoft and Cherry, have already launched their own vertical mice to meet the needs of customers who are increasingly seeking user comfort. The Logitech MX Vertical mouse is available on the Logitech website for €109. It's also sold on Amazon for a more attractive price: around €101.71 excluding shipping.
Introducing the Logitech MX Vertical mouse
The design of the Logitech MX Vertical mouse has been carefully considered to prevent wrist fatigue. Studies conducted by the Swiss company Logitech were carried out to offer its customers an ergonomic mouse that causes no pain in the wrist or forearm. Following this research, Logitech is proud to present its Logitech MX Vertical mouse with a 57° tilt . This allows for a natural hand position, reducing muscle strain by approximately 10%.
A short adjustment period is necessary to get used to letting go and completely relaxing your arm when using the Logitech MX Vertical mouse. Once you've mastered its use, your arm and wrist experience no particular strain during extended use. This mouse is therefore ideal for applications that require frequent mouse use, such as graphic design or certain video games.
The placement of the various buttons has been well thought out. At the top, we find the two buttons for right and left clicks. Between them is the scroll wheel, which is also clickable. Two other customizable buttons are also available near the thumb rest. The raised thumb rest is a welcome feature, as it allows the thumb to rest comfortably and not grip the mouse as is often the case with typical vertical mice.
Below the mouse are the power button and the device selector for Flow. You can connect up to 3 devices. At the top of the device is a button to adjust the sensitivity.
The Logitech MX Vertical is a wireless mouse with a maximum connectivity range of 10 meters . This allows you greater freedom of movement and the ability to move the mouse around easily without the constraints of wires.
The mouse measures 11.8 x 7.8 x 7.9 centimeters (L x W x H) and weighs 130 grams . The 240 mAh lasts for 4 months on a full charge. A 1-minute charge will give you approximately 3 hours of use. The USB-C charging cable can also be used for faster charging.
You can connect your Logitech MX Vertical mouse to your device in three ways: via the wired USB-C , which also serves as a fast charging method; via Bluetooth; or using the Logitech Unifying . This dongle is included with the mouse and measures 18.4 mm x 14.4 mm x 6.6 mm (L x W x H) and weighs 2 grams.
The wireless connection is perfectly stable, which is a real advantage over competing mice. When the battery runs low, you can switch to wired use with the USB-C connection and charge the battery at the same time. This is a definite plus, as some mice cannot be used while charging.
Logitech software options for optimal use
Although the mouse can be used without drivers or specific software, you can download and use the Logitech Options software from the Logitech website for additional features and settings. There, you can adjust the sensitivity as well as the cursor speed.
The Logitech MX Vertical mouse features a 4x switch to minimize movement during work or gaming sessions. This setting can also be fine-tuned in the Logitech Options software.
With this Logitech Options software, you can also assign different mouse buttons to specific functions. You can also adjust the DPI resolution.
The advantages offered by this Logitech MX Vertical mouse
A study was conducted by leading ergonomists to find the optimal hand position for prolonged mouse use. The resulting 57° angle was determined and incorporated into the mouse's design. This angle drastically reduces wrist strain and provides unparalleled comfort. Your thumb rests on a specially designed raised surface. The mouse is also designed to perfectly fit any hand size and shape. The textured rubber surface ensures a comfortable and natural grip.
This mouse is very precise thanks to its 4000 DPI optical sensor. As a result, it doesn't require much movement to perform your usual graphic design or office tasks. Fewer movements logically mean less fatigue.
The mouse features Easy-Switch and Flow Compatible . These features allow you to connect the Logitech MX Vertical mouse to up to three devices simultaneously. You can switch between devices by pressing the dedicated button or by dragging your cursor along the edge of the screen from one device to another. Additional features include the ability to copy and paste files between computers . This allows you to copy documents or folders without having to attach them to an email or use an internet connection, for example.
This mouse is compatible with various operating systems: computers running Windows 8, Windows 10 or later, macOS 10.13 or later, and iPadOS 13.1 or later via Bluetooth. For iPadOS, the Assistive Touch function must be enabled beforehand.
