The Logitech Vertical Ergonomic Mouse: The Most Comfortable Mouse for Your Job
I used to massage my right hand almost every 15 minutes while working. If you have a job that requires you to sit long hours in front of the computer, you know what I’m talking about. My mouse was the worst enemy for my hand until I found one that became my best friend: the Logitech Vertical Ergonomic Mouse.
Feel The Comfort
At first, it looked weird. I think that was the same thought Christopher Columbus probably had when he discovered the pineapple in Guadeloupe back in 1493. There was no way that a spiky bugger will end up being the main ingredient of piña coladas, but it did. The same for me and the Logitech Vertical Ergonomic Mouse. It was weird, but also the most comfortable mouse I have ever experienced.
Special Features
This mouse places your hand in a natural handshake position to prevent it from making terrible unhealthy moves for prolonged periods of time (such as twisting your forearm). It reduces your muscular strain a great deal compared to a traditional non-vertical mouse.
For this optimal ergonomic posture, the mouse provides a unique 57-degree vertical angle and a 4000 DPI high-precision sensor. This system allows an efficient and precise tracking which requires 4x less movement compared to a traditional mouse (which usually have around 1000 DPI sensor). The end result: less movement, more comfort!
And just in case you were wondering, yes, it is rechargeable and it stays powered for full 4 months. In fact, with only 1-minute quick charge, you can use it for three hours straight.
Would it work on your computer? It works on all of them! You can connect it wirelessly via Bluetooth or with the included Logitech Unifying Receiver, or with the included USB-C charging cable. Just choose the option you prefer and you will be able to switch between computers (either Windows or Mac) or work across multiple screens.
Things You Should Be Aware Of
This mouse requires Bluetooth (BT) 4.0 to work. If you own a computer that has BT 3.0, it might be necessary to buy a BT dongle or use the USB. However, I would double check if I was you. Most average computers come with this version already.
Another thing to note is that not all hands are the same size and although the mouse adapts to most, it could feel too big for you if you have very small hands. It seems that the forward/back buttons are positioned for medium/large fingers so it might feel a little awkward at first.
Pros
- It feels nice and comfortable.
- There is no setup involved: you can just plug in or out and it will be good to work.
- It supports multiple computers at once.
Cons
- It is only supported by Bluetooth 4.0.
- The mouse might feel a little too big for you if you have small hands.
The Bottom Line
The Logitech Vertical Ergonomic Mouse is ideal for people who need to work for long hours on the computer and who want to skip the pain and discomfort that come with it. This mouse will become your best friend and maybe, next time, you can enjoy it while drinking a delicious piña colada in a pool somewhere, because why not?
