Logitech Debuts New MX Vertical Ergonomic Mouse

[iOSUser7]

Bring wired one. Wired whatever is much better than wireless whenever possible for anything, including also keyboards and mice. Batteries are obnoxious to the environment, besides much less convenient (for instance, less responsive) and a pain to recharge routinely. We are destroying planet Earth and nobody seems to care.

I hope you are using a desktop to write this comment otherwise you should immediately turn that battery-powered device off because you are destroying the planet, you monster!

You forgot your /s at the end!

Tried something similar when I started having issues. Didn't get on with it at all, so got a trackpad.

Five years later, trackpad is still my daily. Pity the supply of ones with decent Windows drivers is poor

Ordered! I have a very old vertical Logitech mouse that I love. It’s on its last legs though, so this is perfect timing!

For those of you knocking it, you really should give it a try. So much better for your hand and wrist than a traditional mouse or trackpad. Only takes a couple days to get used to it.

It looks...ridiculous.

So do all vertically-oriented (=true) ergonomic mice.

Ordered. I've been waiting for an ergonomic mouse that connects to the new macbook pros well.

How is the Logitech drivers-software? I've had issues with it in the past (e.g. system slowdowns).

 

[MrGuder]

It’s too big!! Yikes!!

So does the Magic Mouse, and that thing is as unergonomic as it gets...

I wouldn't disagree with you there. I use the MX Master 2 which looks ok to me and is ergonomic enough to not give me any fatigue using it all day.

 

[Manzzle]

I had the MX Master and now I use the MX Master 2S.

Does this vertical one have a thumb button like the MX master has were I have it set up to bring up all my desktop windows and then I can jump to which ever app (mission control)?

#1 sales in Iceland

Over 15 years ago, in the days when I had a desktop rather than a laptop, I used one of these. It was brilliant, and I'd trade wrist-strain for looking ridiculous every time.

 

[ronincse]

So what is more ergonomic, a vertical mouse like this or a track ball?

 

[rafark]

It sounds fantastic, I love innovation! Why didn't Apple come up with this?

Because Logitech is the expert in mice?

 

[rafark]

Because Logitech is the expert in mice?

Yeah, but Apple has designed some not so ordinary mice. I'd love an Apple version of this.

Well, Logitech was founded in Apples.

 

[shyan]

Magic Mouse look sleek but the Logitech one (MX Master 2S or MX Anywhere 2S) have more functions and are much more comfortable to use. Little wonder both my Magic Mouse are in the drawer

 

[SoundJudgment]

Now, if only they made a Trackball-version of this design. Perfect.

 

[nwcs]

I like it! Might have to get one. I had the Microsoft ergonomic mouse and it took a few days to get used to it but it was nice. I may get this later in the year when reviews are out.

 

[roland.g]

Is there a version for us lefties?

They don’t seem to think there is enough market there. Or they only care about helping out righties with hand strain.

What's a logi?

What's a logi?

What comes out when you sneeze....

What's a logi?

A silly idea.

Can't say for sure, but look at the second picture in the article. There is a button positioned right above the thumb.

Plus it’s better for playing Missile Command!

I’ve used used both for extended periods of time, and I find the vertical mouse to be easier on my wrist and hand. I suspect it’s highly dependent on the user and their habits, though.
