Our Verdict

Logitech MX Vertical

Logitech MX ERGO

The Logitech MX ERGO is better than the Logitech MX Vertical, but they're two differently-designed mice. The ERGO is a trackball mouse that's better-built and a lot more comfortable. It also has lower click latency, a vertical wheel tilt, and more programmable buttons. However, the Vertical is much lighter, making it easier to carry around, and it has a wider CPI range. The vertical shape of this mouse may be comfortable for more people.
