Customer Ratings & Reviews

Very mixed feeling about the design. For desktop use it is fine after a period of adjustment. It gets dirty very quickly due to sweaty hand. It's very hard to control fine movement with a full hand. That's the major design shortcoming of the otherwise innovative approach to wrist ergonomics.

It was hard to hold and move especially with carpal tunnel syndrome. I originally purchased it due to CTS because I thought it would be more ergonomic for my CTS but found it otherwise harder to control and made my CTS worse.

You'd think that this vertical structure would make for a better hand position but it doesn't. About the same as their regular ergonomic mouse. The two worst thing are the button positions and the fact that each time you click you move the mouse. Not worth it.

Love this mouse. I pretty much use the computer all day long. Once I switch to using this mouse my wrist is less fatigue.

Reliable Rapid control of cursor with optional volume control

This mouse is good for arthritic hands. Easy to use.

Defective "Left Button Switch" stopped functioning after 14 months (well-documented issue) right after warrantee expiration. Average use, 3-4 days per week. BBY, please urge Logi to address this defect. See YouTubes on soldering the faulty switch. Is that an appropriate remedy for consumers <2 years after purchasing a high-end sku?

Good alternative. Not up to par with MX series with similar price range

have massive tendonitis in my radius where it meets the humerus...Best Buy sold me a mouse pad to go with it that lifted my front part of my arm up...carpals...but left my elbow leaning down on desk....not horizontal.

* Cannot use at all with an updated Win10 machine because will not appear over bluetooth in Settings > Add Bluetooth Device. * On macos, the FLOW software does not work; the cursor will move to the second desktop and get stuck there without ability to go back to the first screen. * First mouse in forty years that makes my palm sweat. * Overpriced.

So far so good, it took me like 5 minutes to get used to it. My wrist gives me no pain when I use it, very comfortable in the hand, would recommend if you have any wrist pain or want to prevent any wrist stress.

Great mouse and great comfort not like standard mouse.

This was one good purchase. It has decreased my discomfort and it looks good next to my computer also.

Help with my arthritis in my hands. Mix work not as stressful know that my hands are not hurting.

I dint really like the feel of this mouse. Although it does ease on wrist I ended up raising my arm. With not much overall comfort ergonomically speaking.

Bought this mouse to help alleviate some pains in my forearm wrist area but for some reason the pain is still kind of there. I noticed if I hold my wrist vertically it feels much better. Maybe it would be a better idea to buy a $30 mouse instead.

Great mouse, just too big for my hand. I returned it but have recommended to several friends.

It is just not as comfortable as I hoped it would be. My hand just wants to fall off the back of it and it was straining to use.

Is much easier than a regular mouse! It did not take long for me to be at ease using it.

Really, I blame the millennials. All this fancy, new-fangled technology that’s supposed to be nicer to us and not hurt our feelings all the time. I mean, honestly, how many times have you asked yourself, why do I even put up with this FLAT MOUSE anyway? All joking aside, I was really excited to get my hands on the MX Veritcal from Logitech because vertical mice are all the rage these days, and I wanted to see what the hype was all about. I first discovered vertical mice thanks to the insanely popular YouTube channel Unbox Therapy, where the Contour Unimouse was showcased—this vertical mouse has angle customization ranging from 35 to 70 degrees, adjustable thumb rest, but is not Bluetooth capable. In my mind, it became the defacto standard for vertical mice. Not long after I saw that Logitech was releasing a vertical mouse with a fixed angle, and getting my hands on it I was immediately skeptical (again, the millennials). The design is relatively simple—a unibody form, non-adjusting 57-degree mouse body, non-adjustable thumb rest, and only one button beyond what you’d expect a mouse to have (left click, right click, forward, back, scroll wheel/middle click). Note that I’m a long time MX Master fan; I’ve used both the MX Master and the MX Master 2S exclusively for the last few years and love them dearly because of the comfort, design and functionality that it provides…and naturally, I’ll compare the two here quite a bit from a functionality perspective. Sadly, the MX Vertical’s scroll wheel is not the same speed-adaptive scroll wheel that is found in several of Logitech’s other mice, and I think that’s a big miss here; I also think that the thumb rest could contain customizable shortcut buttons the way the MX Master series mice do. It’s also very tall, abnormally so when it comes to mice, and so moving my hands back and forth across my desk (for instance, to grab my phone) I often found myself batting the mouse across my workspace. The one additional button is a sensitivity adjustment button out of the box, but can be customized using the Logitech Options software that I’ve grown to love…honestly, setting its default to DPI control seems a bit weird, but thankfully it can be adjusted. When it came to using the mouse, at first, it was difficult to adjust to holding a mouse differently. The documentation suggests you hold your hand in a “handshake” position,” but I found that using a mouse with my hand effectively sideways, instead of palm-down, it was challenging to control the mouse cursor with the precision that I had using my MX Master 2S. Still, I stuck it out, and in a matter of a couple days, I found myself very comfortably using the MX Vertical, and specifically, noticeably more comfortably. For me, the make of a good mouse is that it’s so comfortable and functional that it becomes an extension of your hand—and in that sense, you tend to not think about it much, even sometimes forget about it. The MX Vertical didn’t give me that sensation—I found the handshake position so comfortable that I often thought about how great of a product it really was. After a full week of use, I was entirely sold on it. But then I went home, and I didn’t have my MX Vertical with me. Sitting down in my office, I fired up my computer and started to use my ridiculously non-ergonomic MX Master 2S, and I very quickly noticed wrist fatigue and discomfort. Frustratingly, the MX Vertical ruined my otherwise pleasant MX Master 2S experience, and that’s an interesting place to be. (First-world problems, am I right?) Quick note about the battery: I have several high-end Logitech peripherals and never get the advertised battery life of those devices. I appreciate that it has a USB Type-C connector, and according to the documentation it fast charges in only one minute, providing up to 3 hours of use…that’s pretty incredible…but it can also be used while plugged in as a wired mouse, so the need to fast charge is one I probably won’t take much advantage of. So in summary, I do blame the millenials…but I unfortunately am one of them, and in this case I totally understand the niche market that Logitech is aiming for. I’m disappointed in the lack of additional customizable buttons that could have been included (there’s enough room for a third “click” button), and also disappointed that Logitech’s most premium scroll wheel experience (speed adjustable plus side-scrolling) isn’t included in this otherwise premium mouse. At the price, I’d really like to have the functionality of the MX Master 2S, along with the comfort and ergonomics of the MX Vertical; that would make for a fantastic mouse. But still, the MX Vertical is a great product that I see myself using for a long time. It retails at $100, which is about what I expect from a top-of-the-line Logitech mouse, but you might consider comparing to some of the other vertical mice on the market like the Contour Unimouse, which has extra buttons and more ergonometric customization available. The Unimouse also retails for around $100, so they are certainly competitors. That said, I have always loved Logitech’s peripherals and will continue to buy them in the future.
