How they stack up

Evoluent VerticalMouse C

The Evoluent VerticalMouse C uses a steeper, fully vertical sculpted grip that RSI sufferers often prefer over the Logitech MX Vertical and Logitech Lift, but it costs more than both and looks more dated, and it lacks the Keychron M5's gaming features and the low price of the Anker vertical mouse.

Logitech Lift

The Lift uses the same 57-degree angle as the Logitech MX Vertical but in a smaller, quieter body better suited to small hands, and it is cheaper than both the MX Vertical and the Evoluent VerticalMouse C, though it lacks the Keychron M5's gaming sensor and costs more than the budget Anker vertical mouse.
