Get the Logitech Lift. Unless you just want a more comfortable normal mouse for as little as possible โ€” then the M720 Triathlon.

Logitech M720 Triathlon

Logitech M720 Triathlon

A cheap, comfortable contoured mouse that switches between three devices, with a free-spinning wheel and a thumb button. It's not vertical, and it's small for large hands.

Our pick

Logitech Lift Vertical Ergonomic Mouse

The best vertical mouse for small and medium hands: a 57ยฐ handshake grip that eases wrist twist, quiet clicks and up to two years on one AA battery. There's a left-handed version.

The short answer

The Lift's 57ยฐ vertical grip changes how your wrist sits, which a contoured mouse can't. The M720 costs less, switches between three devices and has a free-spinning wheel, but it's a normal mouse shape.

  • โ€”You want a comfortable mouse for as little as possible.
  • โ€”You don't want to learn a new grip.
  • โ€”You'd use a free-spinning wheel.
