The Logitech MX Vertical mouse, a favorite among users who prioritize wrist comfort and precision, is now $50 cheaper than its usual $120 price tag—dropping to just $69.99. For those who spend hours at a desk, this ergonomic vertical design could be a game-changer, but its exclusivity comes with trade-offs.
Unlike the more versatile MX Master, the MX Vertical swaps a high-speed scroll wheel for a 57-degree tilt and ultra-soft plastic construction. Its 4,000 DPI sensor ensures sharp cursor control, while dual wireless connectivity (Bluetooth and USB dongle) allows seamless switching between devices. A USB-C charging port extends battery life to weeks, and Logitech’s Options software lets users tweak button functions—including the top DPI switch and two thumb buttons.
Why the discount matters
This isn’t just a price cut—it’s a rare opportunity to test a mouse built for users who struggle with traditional designs. The vertical grip is intended to reduce strain, making it ideal for those with repetitive strain injuries or simply seeking relief from wrist fatigue. However, the lack of a left-handed version means ambidextrous users may need to consider Logitech’s less premium Lift model instead.
- Price: $69.99 (down from $120)
- Key features: 4,000 DPI sensor, dual wireless (Bluetooth + USB), USB-C charging, 57-degree tilt
- Customization: Logitech Options software for button remapping
- Limitations: No left-handed version; softer scroll wheel than MX Master
- Best for: Users prioritizing ergonomics over speed or left-handed support
The deal is currently live, but with Amazon noting it’s selling quickly, buyers may want to act fast. For those who’ve hesitated over the MX Vertical’s premium price, this could be the nudge needed—but only if the comfort outweighs the compromises.
For comparison, Logitech’s other premium mouse, the MX Master, remains a power user staple, while the $1337 Razer Boomslang (a retro-inspired luxury mouse) offers a very different experience—one that skews toward aesthetics over practicality.
