Logitech Lift Vertical Ergonomic Mouse vs Logitech MX Vertical Advanced Ergonomic Mouse
Get the Logitech Lift. Unless you have large hands or want to recharge rather than change batteries — then the MX Vertical.
Logitech Lift Vertical Ergonomic Mouse
The best vertical mouse for small and medium hands: a 57° handshake grip that eases wrist twist, quiet clicks and up to two years on one AA battery. There's a left-handed version.
Logitech MX Vertical Advanced Ergonomic Mouse
A big, rechargeable 57° vertical mouse for large hands, with about four months per charge. It's a 2018 design with an older receiver, and pricey when it isn't on sale.
