Vertical Mice: The Ergonomic Solution for Long-Term Computer Users

Benedikt Schlotmann, editor at MyMMO, swears by vertical mice for nearly three years. He particularly likes the Logitech Lift, currently priced at 39.90 EUR on Amazon. But what are vertical mice, and why should you consider one?

Vertical mice, like the Logitech Lift, reduce strain on the forearm, wrist, and shoulder. They promote a more natural handshake position, preventing health risks associated with traditional mice. However, it takes time to adapt to their unusual posture.

While Logitech and Razer offer popular models, alternatives like Evoluent, CHERRY, Anker, CSL, Trust Gaming, and GeneralKeys provide cheaper options ranging from 15 to 25 EUR. Benedikt appreciates the replaceable battery in the Logitech Lift. Despite its benefits, vertical mice are not ideal for competitive gaming due to their design.

Vertical mice, with their ergonomic design, offer health benefits for long-term computer users. The Logitech Lift, though more expensive, is a popular choice. Cheaper alternatives are available for those willing to try vertical mice. However, users should be prepared for an adjustment period.
