Over the last few years I’ve gone through a couple Logitech MX Verticals. My current one does technically work, but just like the last one the cheap rubber coating has started disintegrating and is pretty nasty at this point.
Anyone have good recs for a vertical mouse that won’t start crumbling like a dry cake in my hand? I’m not picky on buttons or anything, just work with a bunch of spreadsheets at work. The vertical mouse is just much better for my wrist.
Not a vertical mouse:
I have a Ploopy mouse (specifically the thumb). It has different enough way of using it that I haven’t suffered wrist strain since.
Everything is open source and all physical parts are 3D printed. I’ve replaced 1 broken part twice so far.
A trackball mouse does take some time getting used to, and never quite achieves the accuracy of a regular mouse.
I set up the lower left button as a dpi/speed modifier when I was using mine to account for the accuracy. Not perfect but let me do a little bit more
I set the rightmost button to make the trackball a scrollwheel. I now have vertical and horizontal scrolling!
I never figured out the sensitivity thing, so I only have lightspeed scrolling.
That’s quite nice! I am not sure what OS you’re running with it, but it goes hard with Linux with the Niri DE
Oooooooooh, I do have a knack for 3d printing so this is right up my alley
