Those are my opinions that are linked to my hands and usage on those three models, you might feel totally differently, but my recommendation is Logitech MX Vertical if you don’t care about the polling rate, avoid the Razer and the Keychron might not be the best alternative out there but I’m satisfied with it.Read thread U
The Logitech MX Vertical stands out as one of the most thoughtfully designed ergonomic mice available today. Its unique vertical design positions your hand and forearm in a more natural handshake-like position which significantly reduces muscle strain and tendon stress.Watch G
The Logitech MX Vertical Wireless Mouse helps prevent wrist pain by tilting your hand into a handshake position, so your forearm doesn’t have to rotate flat against the desk. The first day with it feels weird. By day three, you stop noticing the shape and just notice that your wrist hurts less.Read T
If you suffer from wrist or forearm discomfort, or if you want a mouse designed to reduce strain over long sessions, the Logitech MX Vertical is a smart choice. It blends ergonomic benefits, multi-device control, customization, and solid battery life.Watch T
The MX Vertical is still the safe default. Its 57° angle hits what Logitech calls the “natural handshake position.” Logitech’s own tests say it cuts muscle activity by about 10 percent compared to a flat mouse.Read T

We found the MX Vertical is good for larger hands that want a vertical mouse, especially because of its size and comfortable rubbery grip area. Unfortunately, it’s only made for the right-handed, further limiting the appeal for an already polarizing design.Read K
The Logitech over here is more on the higher end side and the Ankor is more of a budget mouse. We as the consumers need to make a decision on which mouse we want to get. Today we're going to be opening both boxes, weighing out the pros and cons of each to figure out which one makes sense to purchase. We have both of the ergonomic mice here, and we're going to start by unboxing the Anchor.Watch L r/logitech u/Only_Drawer9883 · owner
My gf has the MX Vertical, good for productivity, not for gaming. A better gift might be a mouse just for productivity OR just for gaming. If I had to use one for everything I'd consider the wireless G502X, but would rather have both G502X and MX4M.Read thread E
Now, this mouse for me is a little bit big, which means when I rest my hand comfortably on the end of the mouse, my finger doesn't reach the back key on the mouse. I would have to move my hand a lot higher up onto the mouse and let my hand rest on the mouse itself. The problem with that is my hand slips off of the mouse because the grip isn't that grippy.Watch L
We ranked this product at number three because it delivers proven vertical posture correction and long term comfort but stops short of innovation. Other models add adjustability or advanced features that expand ergonomic control.Read R
But sometimes the Bluetooth connectivity just lags. Maybe if your Bluetooth is too busy connecting to maybe like three, four devices at a time, the Bluetooth connectivity to this thing will just tend to misbehave sometimes. So there's that for that. But another thing I love is that despite being a wireless mouse, it also has a wired connectivity.Watch C
The 57-degree angle sits right in the comfort sweet spot for most hands. The downside: that dongle has nowhere to store inside the mouse itself, and somewhere around the eighteen-month mark, some owners hit a left-click failure.Read S
Bottom line, the MX Vertical isn't for everyone. But for the right user, it can be a gamecher for comfort.Watch W

The MX Vertical’s 57° angle puts your hand in a natural handshake position rather than the pronated grip that standard mice require. That rotation takes the pressure off the forearm and wrist, and the dedicated thumb rest positions your thumb comfortably without any adjustment period.Read F
This is the MX vertical and it might be the most comfortable mouse I've ever used. Here is my full take after using it for a while. So, the box here is already empty because I've been using the mouse. But what you get initially is the mouse itself, a unifying receiver, a USBC cable for charging, and a few simple manuals.

It wasn’t until I stumbled across the Logitech MX Vertical mouse in early 2020 that my experience working at a desk truly improved, and now six years later, that trusty product has become one of, if not the most important tech purchases I’ve ever made in my life.Read V
Over the past few years of vertical mice usage, I have used three of the "big ones": The Logitech MX Vertical , the Razer Pro Click V2 Vertical , and the Keychron M5 . I also have rather large hands. This is pertinent for the rest of this post.Read
