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 MX Vertical

The MX Vertical is larger and louder than the Logitech Lift, making it the better fit for big hands, and it feels more premium and is cheaper than the Evoluent VerticalMouse C, though it lacks the Keychron M5's gaming sensor and costs far more than the budget Anker vertical mouse.
