We compared two Logitech vertical ergonomic mice at very different prices: the Lift, sized for small to medium right hands, and the higher-end MX Vertical.
What we looked at
Ergonomic angle, sizing, tracking, connectivity, buttons and charging, and price.
The verdict
If you want a quiet-click vertical mouse in a 57-degree shape for small to medium right hands, with Bluetooth or a Logi Bolt receiver, the Lift is the comfortable, cheaper pick, at £38.99. If you want 4,000 DPI tracking, fast charging, and Easy-Switch and Flow across up to three computers, the MX Vertical is the advanced option, at £61.20.
A quiet 57-degree vertical mouse for small to medium right hands at £22 less, but no DPI figure listed.
A 4,000 DPI multi-device vertical mouse with fast charging, but £22 more and few left in stock.
