How they stack up

Anker 2.4G Wireless Vertical Ergonomic Mouse

The Anker vertical mouse offers the same handshake benefit as the Logitech MX Vertical, Logitech Lift and Evoluent VerticalMouse C for a fraction of the price, but it tops out at 1600 DPI, lacks Bluetooth, and cannot match the build of the Logitech mice or the gaming sensor of the Keychron M5.

Logitech Lift

The Lift uses the same 57-degree angle as the Logitech MX Vertical but in a smaller, quieter body better suited to small hands, and it is cheaper than both the MX Vertical and the Evoluent VerticalMouse C, though it lacks the Keychron M5's gaming sensor and costs more than the budget Anker vertical mouse.
