Logitech MX Vertical Graphite Ergonomic Mouse (910-005447)
The MX Vertical is a conditional choice for right-handed office users who prefer a tall handshake-style grip and want wireless connections plus a real wired fallback. Medium-to-large hands are the clearest starting point, but thumb-button reach, ratcheted scrolling and precise cursor work deserve a personal trial. Multiple-computer pairing is useful; Flow also depends on software and the network.

Single-source notes
The review
Logitech MX Vertical: fit, controls and connection tradeoffs
Sensitivity is not a precision benchmark
The sensor's rated ceiling is 4000 dpi, and the top control switches between two cursor speeds. That gives a practical way to alternate broad navigation and slower pointing. It does not prove competitive gaming performance: The Gadgeteer struggled with fine cursor movements, while connect-living cautioned about pixel-specific work despite managing ordinary office tasks. [1], [8], [5], [4]
Ergonomie am Arbeitsplatz liked the glide, but no calibrated friction or feet-wear result is available here. Even the official weight is inconsistent: Logitech's datasheet states 135 g while its support table states 125 g. Keep those attributed figures separate. Neither establishes the mass of the particular unit you will receive. [1], [2], [6]
Start with hand fit and thumb reach
This is the original Graphite MX Vertical, AMR part number 910-005447. Its right-handed shape changes how the hand holds the mouse. Ergonomie am Arbeitsplatz favors medium-to-large hands, but that is a starting point for a trial rather than a universal size rule. Check whether the forward thumb button is reachable without changing your grip. [1], [6]
The reviews show why an ergonomic label cannot promise comfort for everyone. Tech Guide adapted successfully; The Gadgeteer did not find enough benefit to keep using it. The tall shell also changes the path between keyboard and mouse: Tech Guide sometimes clipped it while reaching across the desk. Try your actual daily tasks, not just a brief palm rest. [8], [3]
Separate physical switching from Flow
Connections include the Logitech Unifying receiver, Bluetooth and an actual USB-C cable connection. The mouse pairs with up to three computers. Logitech's setup guide says to turn it on for corded use and unplug the cable before wireless pairing; charging from a computer selects the cable connection. Match replacement receivers to Unifying rather than assuming any Logitech receiver is interchangeable. [1], [4]
Flow adds cursor sharing and copy/paste between computers, but it is software- and network-dependent. CriticalHit describes computers on the same network with Logitech software installed. This differs from pressing the physical device-switch button. On a managed work computer, check software installation and network permissions before depending on Flow for your workflow. [1], [2], [7]
Current app support and basic mouse support differ
Logitech's support page now identifies Logi Options+ for Windows and macOS. Older reviews and the datasheet name Logitech Options, so their interface descriptions are historical. Basic mouse support on Chrome OS and popular Linux distributions does not establish customization or Flow support there. Check the current app requirements separately from the device's older operating-system lists; onboard-memory behavior remains unverified. [2], [1], [4]
Treat endurance as a rating and plan for servicing
Logitech rates endurance at up to four months, with use-dependent variation. connect-living reported uninterrupted battery operation during its review, but neither that test nor CriticalHit's weeks-long trial verified the full rating. The built-in battery avoids routine disposable-cell changes, while servicing it is more involved: reviewers describe access beneath the bottom covering and screws. [1], [6], [5], [7]
The manufacturer's switch-life rating is not a measured double-click failure rate or a lifespan guarantee. This research also leaves controlled click latency, polling-rate verification, long-term feet wear and current replacement-part availability unresolved. The strongest buying case is therefore a grip and control layout that works for you, together with the connections you need; a current price-based value ranking is not established. [1], [6], [8], [5], [7], [4]
A regular wheel with customizable shortcuts
The wheel is designed for line-by-line scrolling and middle clicking. The Gadgeteer found its ratchet feel and sound less appealing and confirmed that it cannot switch to a smooth-scrolling mode. If flicking through long documents is central to your work, test this before choosing the shape. Logitech lists four customizable controls: the back, forward, speed and middle-click controls. [2], [8], [4]

Everyday use
Does USB-C carry mouse data or only charge it?
It supports real corded use. Turn the mouse on and connect it to the computer. Logitech says the cable connection is active while charging from a computer and instructs users to unplug it before wireless pairing. [4]

Other facts
| Specification | Value | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Buyer Fit | A comfortable vertical grip is not assured for every person or task: The Gadgeteer returned to her usual mouse, while other hands-on reviewers adapted successfully.; Ergonomie am Arbeitsplatz recommends the MX Vertical for medium-to-large hands; its fit advice is an individual review assessment, not a universal hand-size cutoff. | [6], [8], [3] |
| Limitation | Ergonomie am Arbeitsplatz found the forward thumb button harder to reach, especially with a smaller thumb, so button access should be checked in a grip trial.; Tech Guide's reviewer sometimes knocked the tall mouse over while reaching across the desk; clearance and the hand's path from the keyboard matter. | [6], [3] |
| Setup Requirement | CriticalHit describes software-assisted cursor sharing and copy/paste between computers on the same network. This network-dependent feature is separate from the physical Easy-Switch button.; Logitech instructs users to power the mouse on for corded use and unplug the cable before wireless pairing. While charging from a computer it is connected through the cable. | [7], [4] |
