    Hey Dawid! Just so you know the MX master does have the option to turn on clicky scrolling using the Logitech software. You can even tune the clickyness to your liking!

    Yeah you can control the MagWheel with the smart-shift option in their software. Still think it would be cool to not install any drivers or programs to use a mouse. Like Dawid said the G502, G500 etc. had a physical switch and wouldn't need software just for that feature :-)

They are office mice They won't put good sensors in those things unless they are guaranteed a sufficient market, and it doesn't matter how much it saves your wrist, if you aim worse with it they ain't gonna buy it loool

    As a vertical mouse user I hace a lot to say about this! First of all, the Lift IS the lighter and smaller version of the MX Vertical, which i have been using for years, better suited for bigger hands. Now with that out of the way, at first you feel inaccurate and slow because you're using a whole different set of muscles in your forearm to move the mouse at a different angle than what you've been doing your whole life, so its only a matter of time and practice to train those muscles up. I've been using mine for gaming always and even though its not the most precise thing in the world, I'm no competitive gamer by any means and it does good enough for my needs. The best part is never having those awful wrist pains ever again! Now one more this is idk about the lift, but I believe i could adjust my DPI using the logitech software, aswell as button shortcuts.

They also have a video where they showed that not all mice with the same DPI on paper are made equal, and the real life result can be far from the theory and doesn't depend entirely on just the sensor.

It's not the most precise to aim with but I haven't had much issue getting used to it and use it for both work and gaming. A fun side effect of using it exclusively has been trying to use a traditional mouse again. Makes you feel like you haven't used a computer before.

    A vertical mouse is way better for my wrists than a normal mouse but I always track back to trackballs for everything not gaming related. My first 'mouse' was a Logitech Trackman Marble FX and I am currently using a MX Ergo. I still game with a traditional mouse, except for games like XCOM, Civ or Stellaris. A trackball is also a good access protection. I had a lot of people desperately scrubbing my 'mouse' over the desk. It will take a lot less desk space espacialy with a 80% TKL or smaller keyboard. You may hate the trackball for the first few days but it was worth it for me.

    I actually love gaming on my trackball. I sadly just wore out my MX Ergo though. Left click went funky and the grip material's starting to go off. The first time you do a spin and kill shot by flicking the ball and catching it at the perfect moment is just SO SATISFYING. I'm not all that cracked up at shooters anymore, but in my prime I preferred trackballs for them over regular mice. They're also a GODSEND for laptops where you might not be able to set up a large enough area for a normal mouse to roam around in.

Mainly, I'm just glad that I'll be able to keep using the same mouse (I'm rocking a Deathadder v2 x Hyperspeed at the moment) indefinitely given the batteries live up to their ~10 year lifespan each, and take care to keep each in good health.

Using the Trust Verto I can swing my wrist almost 180 degrees, while if the wrist is horizontal it can move in very limited angle. It is especially usefull when combining monitors in Eyefinity/3D surround setup for 4000+ horizontal pixels- that's a lot of distance for a mouse cursor to pass..

    I agree! The only thing I don't like is rechargeable batteries in a mouse, because it's amazing to be able to swap a new AA on the fly instead of having to recharge a built-in cell that loses capacity over time. The built-in rechargeable cells aren't hard to replace, but they're not nearly as convenient as swapping in a new AA as needed (you have to take the mouse apart with screws, and hope you don't crack plastic). Use rechargeable AAs if you want to save the environment: just have a few of them ready to swap in as needed. I actually wish every new mouse used AAA cells. That would be the perfect design, in my opinion.

    I generally agree with this. Until it comes to Logitech Master and MX mice. I don’t know what magic they do with their batteries, but I’ve still yet to have one lose any significant capacity. I’ve got four of them that get used varying amounts. One of them I’ve had for 13 years and the battery is still fine (my wife uses that one daily). The one I use daily is at least six years old, still has enough capacity that I’ve never detected any change in how long it lasts. It probably helps that they have an actual power switch and the ones I don’t use daily are switched off.

    Hmmm, I've tried a vertical mouse before, and it was extremely lightweight and very slippery. It actually made my accuracy go down by over 50% (Especially on small, real world targets and applications) because whenever I wanted to click it, the mouse would slide from the force I'd exert to click. I should note that the mouse in question also didn't allow me to thumb-block very well, so it might've been an issue for that mouse specifically, but it was enough to make me not try another. Especially considering I didn't have a lot to spend back then. It's actually pretty hard to hold your mouse steady during a click when the thing blocking your mouse from moving isn't a sturdy desk, but your own thumb.

The angle of the hand is not the only factor, the height your forearm sits at matters a lot too, my forearm rests on my chair arm rest and not on the table, when I just got the cair I put the height of the arm wrest at the table lvl and my hand started hurting after a few hours of gaming so I raised the arm rest a bit over the table and that solved the problem, now my wrist doesn't hurt even after 10 hours of gaming.

    I have wanted a vertical gaming mouse for years now! I love the idea since I got to use vertical mice a lot at home after my dad had to get a wrist surgery from using normal mice for years, and I just love the feel and accuracy of a vertical mouse. One thing my dad also did to further improve his ergonomics in his workplace was to get one lefty and one right-handed vertical mouse and train to use the lefty version, so he can just switch mice and relax the other hand.

    I currently don and occasionally use a Logitech MX MASTER 2S mouse and it does offer a lot more wrist relief for longer pc sessions for me. I only game generally for a ~4hrs max and notice much more relief on my wrist and forearm with the MX MASTER 2S mouse even when gaming over my Razer Viper and Finalmouse Phantom

    I think your preferred grip also matters for this a lot. I always used the claw grip, and when I do that, regardless of my mouse choice, I find myself with my hand at pretty much a 45 degree angle from the desk, even when idling. Add to this an even slightly angled mouse, like any modern gaming mouse is, and I'm completely fine.

    I bought a vertical gaming mouse (yes with RGB and yes a cheap Chinese import) from Amazon which adjustable DPI to deal with my wrist pain (arthritis) and have been having a good time with it. It does take a few weeks to really get used to the change in format but the pain reduction is very much worth it. I think I may need to buy some of those feet to try on mine as it does sometimes feel like it sticks to my mouse pad.

    Went through the same experience a couple of years back after much pain and went through the Logitech Lift and equivalents. Very much same experience around recharging and then after a couple of alternatives I ended up ordering a purple "Seenda Ergonomic Mouse Bluetooth". Has a usb-c charger (includes braided cable), works on bluetooth or included wireless dongle and just works for less than 30 quid. Only issue is if you smash it into the keyboard and it switches from wireless to bluetooth. Have been through a number of other makes like DeLux and Mojo but happy with this.

    The ergonomic mouse/mice i use are the Logitech Trackball's with the most ergonomic being the MX Ergo. I would still prefer the M575 over it as i dont like the accidental angle changes i do and it is a much lighter than the MX Ergo. There is also the trackball sensitivity button near the trackball that very often gets hit in a firefight making death inevitable.

    I have been using the MX vertical for many years now, it was a game changer, I haven't had any Carpal tunnel pains since. What I do is use the vertical for work and a normal mouse for private use, I feel like it is good to change position, might be nonsense though.

    I tried a few wrist supports...the deltahub carpio and a generitc cheap black one....I found cutting the cheap black one in the middle and filling it with yoga mat material felt the best to use and it also slide around the smoothest...the delta fits snug but isnt helping wit the pins/needles feeling that comes. I use a G502x and would consider to replace it with a like for like vertical version (with the extra functions and buttons) if they made one.

    Heh, I was starting to have issues with my wrists a couple years ago. I actually moved to trackballs. After a couple months practice, I am just as good in shooters as I was with a regular mouse. The Elecom Huge was my first go-to. Now the ProtoArc EM03 is my favorite. The Elecom Huge needed a mod with some real ceramic bearings (Craft Computing has a video on it), and I feel the EM03 could probably benefit from a similar mod (Bearing size is different though). Maybe a future video for you!? Play games with a trackball for month?

    The most stressing part for me is weight. And no, I'm not one of these "everything over 70g is useless" extremists, but having to lift the mouse does put stress on the fingers and during long sessions that can become (temporarily) painful. But the games I usually play benefit from more buttons on the mouse, and by now I'm used to having at least 3 ones additional to the default 5 (LMB, RMB, wheel, M4, M5)

    I had severe carpal and can confirm that a vertical mouse did help it very much. Nowadays, it comes back once in a while, but it is not as nearly as severe. Also tried this simple exercise: take the top portion of your hands (opposite of the palms) and push them upwards on an object like the bottom of your desk. This is the opposite pressure that you do when you press on a regular mouse. I find this helps also.

    The button just behind the scroll wheel on the MX Master mouse toggles the clicky scroll. It also disengages the clicky scroll if you spin the wheel really fast and then it reengages when it comes to a stop (the child in me sometimes likes to spin it up really fast and see how long it will go before stopping :)). I've used these mice for prodictivity and gaming uses for many years and I can't imagine using anything else now.
