Vertical Mice

MDesign

My scroll wheel died on mine. They don't make it anymore. So does anyone have any vertical mouse they've been using and reccommend?

I'm using Logitech Lift, nice infinite scroll option, silent main buttons and wheel click, but not the back/forth ones. It fits well to my below medium hand, thought doesn't have any ergonomic wrist support and is pretty compact overall.

Thank you. I'll look into it.

Not recommendation, but 10 minutes before I saw this post, I saw a deal with nice price (42% off) on amazon for Logitech MX Vertical Wireless Mouse

MDesign

Yeah I saw that too. Kinda leaning toward the Razor… but man 120 for a mouse is quite steep. ← See what a did there? 🤣

With their mouse software they would have to pay me 120 to use their products…no thank you.

MDesign

What's the issue with software?

I've enjoyed the Logi MX too

There are 2 people in my office that have vertical mice and when I sit down at their desks to walk their model with them it's like an ergonomic flashbang every time. I realize that having one would probably help my carpal tunnel but I've spent too much of my life with a Razer naga and I can't accept fewer than 10 hotkeys on my mice.

Goodness thats a lotta hot keys. Wrist pain while using the mouse pretty much gone since switching, still can't use a hammer or manual screwdriver for extended periods of time without cramping up.

Profiles are not switching automatically, have to reinstall the software with manually cleaning any remaining tails in regstry and hard drive. When adding program to the list for profile switching it's not being added, because fu.

The buttons configuration is ridiculous; it shows picture of your mouse with microscopic numbers on each button than there is a numbered list of commands assigned to the buttons. It's 3 columns of buttons on the mouse (Naga v2 Hyperspeed) with 2 columns of commands list. Then with certain commands they place an icon over top of the command number, so now you have commands and you have no idea which button it assigned to.

At all times their software runs at least 10 processes just to control your mouse and that's with minimum installation, if you want control rgb on your mouse/keyboard that another god knows how many processes…

Love the mouse, but the software is absolutely atrocious.

Alright Finally decided on a mouse. I bought the Razor V2 (not the final decision) for home and for reference. While I can get comfortable with it at times my small/med hand just isn't a great fit for it overall. And after watching this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqhtplq3-Dg&t=30s I decided to go with the Lift. Should be here tomorrow. Small hands are hard to find ergonomic mice for that you can use a claw grip on (preferred for wrist issues). I didn't realize how much of a problem this was until using a backup mouse and using the Razor (which fills my hand a smidge too much) The backup I'm using sucks for resolution but the size and fit allow me to do a lot of movements with just my fingers instead of the wrist with is huge for wrist issues. The perfect mouse design doesn't exist out there for me and now I have an idea for a better vertical mouse shape, I may have to design my own shell in Onshape and make a replacement shell to get the fit and grip that feels best. I could probably turn it into a product that could turn into my retirement plan. LOL
