I know there are better communities such as !linuxhardware@programming.dev , but it isn't as active and I hope you understand me posting here for outreach.

So I have problems with my wrist from working on the computer, so I thought about trying a vertical mouse. I found the Logitech Lift Vertical would be a nice option, but after doing research I read it is a pain on Linux and does not work reliably. About some other models I read you need to set them up with Windows first to get them working (uurgghh)

Does anybody have good experiences with a vertical mouse on Linux?

I use Mint btw

I use the MX vertical with Linux with zero issues. Every feature works just fine without even installing the logi options software crap.

It works wired, with the 2.4ghz and with bluetooth, all with no issues. I'd expect the lift to be pretty much the same.
