    I have this mouse, and it certainly reduces wrist pain commonly known as RSI or carpal tunnel syndrome. However, you’ll most likely need a mouse wrist pad with this as I find it puts a bit of pressure on your metacarpal bone (and that bony area).
    Otherwise, it’s a great mouse. I’d also suggest checking out the Logitech Lift if your hand is on the smaller side.

      However, you’ll most likely need a mouse wrist pad with this as I find it puts a bit of pressure on your metacarpal bone (and that bony area).

      This is why I stopped using it. It felt like trading a compromise for a compromise. To me it didn’t feel better, just different with different pressure points and remarkably less accuracy (At least at first). Had to sell mine for half the price since it’s a very niche product

      • CyberMurning on 19/09/2022 - 08:38

        damn just googled what is metacarpal bone and i already feeling pain in this area using ergo trackball

        Physio game me some of those thinish foam pads, just cut and place on desk where your wrist sits. Sticky on one side, but haven't stuck it on.

        I've used many different mice in my 20+ years as a professional CAD drafter and always suffered from shoulder pain; I'm not sure if it is because of the posture or what (I might have to seek professional advice, finally). In my previous job, I completely solved it with a thumb trackball; it is a great device, but unfortunately, in my opinion, not suitable for AutoCAD/Revit (which is what I am using now): too imprecise to perform a pan view move, and in this kind of software, it's an essential operation to do to navigate in 3D. I know some drafters use trackballs, and I am happy for them because, in my case, all the pain is gone, but it's not my piece of cake. \I reckon that with Cadwork, which uses the keyboard to pan around the drawing, it's the best possible device.
        Regarding this vertical mouse MX, I'm using it right now when I'm working from home, and the pain is still there. Not sure, though, if it's because I have a regular small mouse in the office, or because it's not good for my (wrong) posture.

          I used to get shoulder pain, until I swapped my keyboard to a smaller one. I was able to make my default mouse position to be closer to the left (I’m right handed) which meant less stretching out of my arm. It’s a subtle change, but multiplied over all those hours at work every day, it makes a huge difference. Other than that, I’m active around the office and find a lot of excuses to get up from my desk to walk around.

          You could talk to either a physiotherapist or an occupational therapist for professional advice.

          • deedend on 19/09/2022 - 10:16

            @skittlebrau: I'll give it a crack, thanks!

          • G-rig on 19/09/2022 - 12:11

            @skittlebrau: yeah sometimes you find the mouse can 'hit' the end the keyboard. due to the number pad your keyboard has to be slightly to the left and /or the mouse isn't right in front of you. Can't exactly win as the number pad is useful for cad and engineering, fair few typed numbers/input involved. You do get used to using the top number pad on the shorter keyboards though.. Hard to say what's best.

            could also look at a tennis elbow brace on the forearm, depends where the pain is.

            Anyway i still recommend the MX Vertical, have one at home and at work now.

            • xhanatos on 19/09/2022 - 13:39

              @G-rig: "Southpaw keyboard" or a separate wireless numpad.

              • G-rig on 19/09/2022 - 13:57

                @xhanatos: Yeah it's not too bad, have got a massdrop Ctrl alt (or something) without keypad. A separate one wouldn't be that convenient but depending what you're doing
                Cheers

          Have you tried using a SpaceMouse for 3D navigation? https://3dconnexion.com/au/spacemouse/

          • deedend on 20/09/2022 - 10:38

            @AnotherHuman: On the expensive side, it seems exactly what I need… a shame that it's a separate device, though I use the keyboard input a lot, and this means moving my left hand all the time between this and the keyboard. They should create a keyboard with a similar "jog" on the corner to be able to use it without moving around the left hand too much!

      • Broos on 19/09/2022 - 10:35

        I use two different mouses, this MX Vertical and a Logitech G Pro wireless. I split my usage about 50:50 and find that balances my wrist vs metacarpal pressure fairly well.
        But yes, excessive use of anything is likely to wear your body down to a point of pain.

    • CyberMurning on 19/09/2022 - 08:37

      is it better than https://www.logitech.com/en-au/products/mice/mx-ergo-wireles…
      mx ergo trackball ? (in term of wrist pain)

      • Broos on 19/09/2022 - 10:33

        I haven’t used the Ergoball. But the Ergoball has a 20 degree angle vs a 57 degree angle on the Vertical. I’d say it would alleviate traditional RSI-type wrist pain less than the Vertical, but not have the metacarpal issue at all.

      • AkiraSaito on 19/09/2022 - 15:09

        I use this Kensington trackball with a more dramatic vertical angel for ergonomics.

        • CyberMurning on 19/09/2022 - 15:15

          hmm but i already have mx ergo
          yes the kensin angel is steeper

      • FatBlanket on 19/09/2022 - 19:44

        I've got this. It's okay, but I do get RSI with this too, just a different kind.

        Now I use the mx anywhere mouse as I find it small and light enough that I don't get any pain. Because it is so small I tend to not rest my hand on it either (which has been good for me).

      • deedend on 20/09/2022 - 10:44

        I've used a thumb trackball for a while when I used to work with Cadwork; great device, even if way less precise and dynamic than the proper mouse (maybe it requires more time to get accustomed to, but I've never felt as accurate as a good old mouse), my shoulder and wrist pain was gone. Still, my hand started to become sore (probably muscle strain because you use the thumb for everything). I would go back to the trackball all the time, I might consider coupling it with a 3D mouse, and I possibly solve all the issues.

  • kaebomb on 19/09/2022 - 07:06

    This compared to the Microsoft Sculpt Mouse? Or even the Logitech Lift? All are supposedly ergonomic.

    • hotphil on 19/09/2022 - 09:02

      This.

      For me, the difference was immediate. Started getting discomfort from a Sculpt, after many many years of using mouses. Grabbed one of these and the pain disappeared instantly. Do take a little bit of getting used to. Probably biggest drawback is the extra height means I'll occasionally accidentally swipe it and send it scuttling across the desk. Feels as solid as you'd expect from Logitech. Obvs works with their Unifying Receiver and whatever that "flow" software they have is for moving across devices.

      I also bought a ~$20 no-name one from Amazon for another location. Not sure it has quite the same DPI or build quality, but it's the same result - having wrist angled makes helluva difference.

      Of note might be that this model is a few years old now and they've come out with the Lift model since. These might be about to be on run-out.

      • raj01091983 on 19/09/2022 - 10:18

        For me, using this brought back the wrist pain, and switching back to Scuplt resolved the issue…

    • jimbo jones on 20/09/2022 - 13:44

      I used to get bad shoulder pains. Use a mix of keyboards and mice to force me stretch and do things differently. Read somewhere it may be better to switch things about.

      1. Better posture
      2. The 'ten key less' keyboard like Microsoft ergonomic sculpt (this is good to have a number pad that you can use when you need it) or logitech mini keys + separate bluetooth numberpad (if you do a lot of number work).

      I have the logitech vertical for home, cheap aldi vertical mouse in the office. Bluetooth can't be easily used on office devices, so have to use dongles. End us up remoting in work PC with own device… Microsoft keyboard in office, logitech at home.

      There are multiple version of the Microsoft ergnonomic keyboard. The one with external keypad takes a while to get used to.
      Sculpt with split and separate number pad is good The mouse I didn't really like. They keyboard takes a while to get used to.
      The other one with a gentle bend - like the mouse, more accurate and and comfortable. I did prefer this keyboard overall. But decided the mouse closer to the keyboard and less moving was better for my shoulder/neck.

      ymmv.

      • G-rig on 20/09/2022 - 14:13

        Yeah posture, standing & sitting, getting up and moving around every so often helps.

        Not sure where you'd put a separate number pad when you are using it that would be in a better location to where the stock ones are located?

        I had a naturals keyboard in the 90s ..didn't mind it for pure typing, no good for cad when you got One hand on the kb and one on the mouse. YMMV as you say.

    As a owner of this mouse, this has greatly mitigated the pain (and inflammation) I would receive in my wrist after 10 hours of mouse-work. Would agree to a comment here that wrist support with this seals the deal, as you will find your hand should be raised; use a mouse pad, or as I did a soft leather wallet to rest my wrist on.

    • CyberMurning on 19/09/2022 - 09:02

      do you also own mx ergo trackball or had in the past? how is the two compare in term of less pain

    • G-rig on 20/09/2022 - 09:21

      Yeah those soft foam pads ~5mm thick you cut off the roll (adhesive one side but no need to stick to desk) Work well. Physiotherapist gave me a bit. Actually my Fitbit on the right Arm helps for that purpose too.

  • RickoWest on 19/09/2022 - 09:02

  • LanceVance on 19/09/2022 - 12:00

    Have 2 of these, one at home, and one at work. Helps with wrist RSI, won't cure it but makes it much better and reduces fatigue at the end of the day.

  • [Deactivated] on 19/09/2022 - 13:12

    That's 2 deals in short succession. Are they trying to clear stock for a next gen product?

    • silvion on 19/09/2022 - 14:53

      A quick google shows the Lift version below. Reading reviews, there's a defined difference between the two which falls to personal opinion.

      • G-rig on 19/09/2022 - 15:04

        I'd prefer (and have) the mx vertical, it's not as new but seems to be a more premium product (USB C chargeable instead of cell batteries , and the unifying receivers are more standard than a new type again - good if U already have a few devices and computers).

        • gryphondarks on 22/09/2022 - 10:39

          Yeah I went with MX Vertical for this reason. I'm using it now, but I reckon it's too big for me - even though I went by the measurement on the Logitech website. So now I'm gonna try to Lift! I feel like the button position and grip (claw vs. palm) might be better on Lift. Though I agree with others above that MX Vertical looks better than Lift. Oh well, function over aesthetics I suppose.

          Sad thing is that Lift is made in left handed, but not available in Australia it seems… :(

          • G-rig on 22/09/2022 - 10:44

            @gryphondarks: Yeah good to test both if they are in store somewhere. I didn't consider the lift for too long. I guess a tad smaller wouldn't be bad but don't notice it to be honest and my hands aren't that big.

      • CyberMurning on 19/09/2022 - 17:14

        wow so my hand is small according to that measurement.. hmmm lucky almost bought this mx vert.

        • G-rig on 19/09/2022 - 19:06

          It's not too big just have a look
