Logitech Vertical Advanced

Logitech MX Vertical Advanced Ergonomic Mouse – Full Feature Overview

1. Product Summary

The Logitech MX Vertical is an advanced ergonomic mouse designed to reduce muscle strain, decrease wrist pressure, and improve overall hand posture during prolonged computer use and is available at Mobihub Electronics Kenya. It combines scientific ergonomic design with premium materials, high-precision tracking, and versatile wireless connectivity options. Ideal for professionals, creatives, and anyone suffering from wrist discomfort due to traditional mouse usage, the MX Vertical blends comfort and performance in a vertical form factor.

2. Ergonomic Design

Natural Handshake Position

• The MX Vertical is designed at a 57-degree vertical angle, positioning your hand in a natural handshake posture. This reduces forearm twisting and helps lower muscular strain by up to 10% compared to a standard mouse.

Reduced Wrist Pressure

• By shifting the movement from the wrist to the forearm and positioning the palm at a more natural angle, the mouse minimizes pressure on the carpal tunnel region—helping to prevent repetitive strain injuries (RSIs).

Textured Surface and Thumb Support

• A soft-touch rubber texture with a matte finish covers the surface, offering a secure, comfortable grip.

• An extended, molded thumb rest keeps the thumb relaxed and stable throughout use.

3. Tracking and Performance

Advanced Optical Sensor

• The MX Vertical uses a high-precision 4000 DPI optical sensor, optimized for productivity tasks. The high DPI means less hand movement is needed for cursor travel, reducing strain during long working sessions.

Instant DPI Adjustment

• A dedicated DPI switch button on the top of the mouse allows users to quickly toggle DPI sensitivity—ideal for changing cursor speed on the fly, from high-precision pixel-level work to rapid navigation.

4. Connectivity and Multi-Device Support

Three Connection Methods

• Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) – Connects wirelessly without a receiver.

• Logitech Unifying Receiver – Uses 2.4 GHz wireless technology for a reliable, lag-free connection with multiple compatible Logitech devices.

• USB-C Wired Mode – Also functions as a wired mouse when connected via USB-C, while simultaneously charging the internal battery.

Easy-Switch Multi-Device Pairing

• Pair with up to three devices and easily switch between them using the Easy-Switch button located at the bottom of the mouse. This enables seamless control of multiple computers across Windows, macOS, or Linux systems.

5. Battery and Charging

Built-In Rechargeable Battery

• The MX Vertical contains a built-in 240mAh lithium-polymer battery, which provides up to 4 months of usage on a full charge depending on usage.

USB-C Fast Charging

• The USB-C port supports fast charging—a one-minute charge provides up to three hours of use. Full charging takes only a few hours.

6. Buttons and Controls

  • Left and right click

  • Scroll wheel with middle-click

7. Build Quality and Design Aesthetics

Premium Materials

• The body combines lightweight, high-quality plastics with a soft rubberized exterior for tactile comfort and durability.

Sturdy Base and Balanced Weight

• Carefully weighted for stability, the mouse glides smoothly without requiring excessive movement. It’s designed to feel solid but not heavy, with an ideal balance between resistance and glide.
