Our Verdict
Logitech MX Vertical
Logitech MX Master 3
The Logitech MX Master 3 and the Logitech MX Vertical are both great office mice. The MX Master 3 feels better built, has customizable gesture-based controls, and features a side horizontal wheel, which is great for scrolling sideways through Excel spreadsheets. However, the MX Vertical's shape is more ergonomic and should help reduce strain on the wrist. The MX Vertical is also more suitable for people with small hands, as they should be able to reach all the buttons more easily when using a palm grip.
