Logitech Signature M650 Wireless Mouse vs Logitech Lift Vertical Ergonomic Mouse
Get the Logitech Lift. Unless your wrist is fine and you just want a comfortable, cheap mouse — then the Signature M650.
Logitech Signature M650 Wireless Mouse
A cheap, well-built, contoured work mouse with quiet clicks, in a regular size, a large M650 L and a left-handed version. Not vertical, and no thumb wheel.
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.

The Lift holds your hand at 57°, closer to a handshake, so your forearm doesn't twist flat, and it pairs with three devices. The M650 is a normal, flat mouse that's comfortable and cheaper, but it pairs with one device and won't change your wrist angle.
- —Your wrist doesn't ache and you want to spend less.
- —You have large hands (get the M650 L).
- —You don't want to get used to a new grip.
- —Your wrist or forearm aches after a long day.
- —You switch between computers.
- —Your hands are small to medium.
