My NY present for myself has just arrived. I've bought a vertical mouse, Logitech Lift, and getting used to it will take some time, I can already tell. My usual way of using mice is cranking up the DPI and the pointer speed to the max and moving the mouse around with just my fingertips. Now I can move the cursor this way only up or down the screen, but moving it left or right requires much more of my hand than I'm used to. Clicking, again, is quite unusual. You have to "pinch" your mouse between your index or middle finger and your thumb, or your cursor will move. Or to press the button at an angle, "into the table". Time to test how bad I am with it in a FPS game.

How are you finding it? Is this just like the trackball fad all over again?

It's fucking infuriating and is already listed on the local craigslist equivalent. I'm back to my emergency backup mouse, Logitech M90, which is a bit too big for my grip (Microsoft mouse 3600 was much better).

Could you have just returned it instead of listing it for sale secondhand? Just curious.

Russian law of return of things that work is quite restrictive.

Thanks for this. I can nope out early.

Plastics is cheap. I think they should have made mice which could be used as both horizontal and vertical
