Is the Logitech MX Vertical Advanced Ergonomic Mouse worth it?
Yes, if you have large hands and want a vertical mouse.
It holds your hand at the same 57° handshake angle as the Lift, but it's bigger, so large hands rest on it properly. It charges over USB-C and lasts about four months, and connects over Bluetooth or Logitech's older Unifying receiver. It's a 2018 design: there's nowhere to store the receiver, it needs a firm grip to move, and it's bulky for small hands. At full price it costs more than the newer Lift.

How we reached this verdict
TechRadar (4/5) found it comfortable with a four-month battery, but pricey, bulky and in need of a firm grip, with no slot for the receiver. RTINGS rates it a versatile wireless mouse that's bulky for small hands, and Tom's Guide gives it 3.5/5. The reviews are old, and Logitech hasn't updated it since 2018, so it's here for large hands only.
We compared independent expert reviews with the manufacturer's specifications, then checked it's sold at a major retailer where you live. We don't test products ourselves.
