Logitech Adds $99 Ergonomic Vertical Mouse to Peripheral Lineup

Logitech added a new design to its peripheral line Monday, introducing an ergonomic mouse said to reduce forearm strain and wrist pressure. The $99 Logitech MX Vertical has a 57-degree vertical angle said to be optimized for an ergonomic posture without compromising productivity. The mouse’s natural handshake position reduces muscular activity by up to 10 percent compared with a standard mouse and is designed to fit different hand shapes and sizes, Logitech said. The rechargeable battery lasts up to four months on a full charge, and a one-minute charge powers three hours of use, it said. Logitech began taking preorders Monday; shipping is slated for mid-September.
