The MX lineup from Logitech remains a top choice for advanced users. While the MX Master stands out for its comfort, the MX Vertical offers an ideal option for those who favor upright designs or deal with repetitive strain injury and related conditions. Typically priced at $120, the device is now available on Amazon for $69.99.
Sharing many attributes with the MX Master, the MX Vertical omits the rapid scrolling mechanism. Instead, it features a 57-degree angle and gentle-touch material, paired with a 4000 DPI sensor and connectivity options including Bluetooth and a USB receiver for simultaneous pairings with various devices. Its battery provides multi-week endurance and charges through USB-C, while Logitech's Options application allows personalization of the upper button (set to DPI adjustment initially) and the pair of thumb controls.

Amazon notes that stock for this promotion is moving quickly, though the offer's duration remains unspecified.
