The Logitech MX Vertical drops to $74, and if you spend more than a few hours a day at a mouse this deal is worth your attention

If you spend most of your working day at a mouse, the Logitech MX Vertical is one of the more practical desk upgrades you can make, and at $74.99 it’s down $45 off its $119.99 list price in a limited-time deal.

If you spend most of your working day at a mouse, the Logitech MX Vertical is one of the more practical desk upgrades you can make, and at $74.99 it’s down $45 off its $119.99 list price in a limited-time deal. The vertical design isn’t a gimmick: Logitech’s own testing shows a 10% reduction in muscular activity compared to a standard mouse, and the 57° wrist angle addresses the pressure points that build up over a long day in a way that a standard horizontal mouse simply doesn’t.

The MX Vertical’s 57° angle puts your hand in a natural handshake position rather than the pronated grip that standard mice require. That rotation takes the pressure off the forearm and wrist, and the dedicated thumb rest positions your thumb comfortably without any adjustment period. Logitech worked with leading ergonomists on the design criteria, which is reflected in the result: this is a mouse that was built around how the human hand actually sits rather than retrofitted with a vertical angle as an afterthought.

The 4000 DPI high-precision sensor means less physical hand movement to cover the same cursor distance, which compounds the fatigue reduction across a full working day. A cursor speed switch on the top of the MX Vertical lets you adjust DPI on the fly without diving into software settings, which is a practical detail for anyone switching between tasks that need precision and those that don’t.

Multi-device support covers up to three Windows and Apple computers simultaneously, with Easy-Switch toggling between them. The rechargeable battery removes the ongoing cost of disposables, and the textured rubber surface keeps the grip secure without feeling clinical. Wireless connectivity keeps the desk clean.

Ergonomic mice with serious sensor specs and multi-device support typically hold their price well. The MX Vertical at $74.99 brings all of that to a price that makes the upgrade decision straightforward for anyone already experiencing wrist discomfort or looking to get ahead of it, and the limited-time pricing makes this worth acting on before it moves back up.

The Logitech MX Vertical at $74.99 is one of the more genuinely useful desk upgrades available at this price. The vertical design, 4000 DPI sensor, and multi-device support add up to a mouse that improves how your wrist feels at the end of the day and performs well enough to make no compromises doing it, and the $45 saving makes the timing right.

Did you think hitting delete on your AI chatbot conversation actually makes it disappear? Georgia Tech researchers just proved that's not entirely true. They have built a forensic tool called ORISA that can dig deleted conversations from your phone and even rebuild them into a working chatbot session you can keep talking to.

How can ORISA bring deleted AI conversations back?

Touchscreen laptops have been around for years. You can get them in all sizes and shapes. Just not from Apple. For years, the Cupertino giant has treated the idea of a touchscreen MacBook the way I treat a meeting that could have been an email: with open contempt. However, Wednesday looks like the day the company could finally change its mind. 

The latest Apple invite puts the “Pro and Tell” showcase in Los Angeles at 10 a.m. PT (1 p.m. ET) on October 28, 2026. Instead of a regular live-streamed keynote, it is an invitation-only, hands-on event for a handful of press and creators (similar to what the company did for the MacBook Neo earlier this year). 

Two residents of Chicago have filed a lawsuit in the US over claims that robots run by Coco Robotics and Serve Robotics captured their facial and hand measurements without consent, bringing renewed attention to the food delivery robots. The cases raise a troubling question: If a robot delivers food to your door, can it also be gathering sensitive information about you?

According to a report by The Associated Press, the proposed class-action lawsuits were filed in Cook County on Oct. 9 and allege violations of Illinois’ Biometric Information Privacy Act. The complaints claim that the robots’ cameras and LiDAR sensors captured information on customers’ faces and hands as they approached the machines to pick up their orders. Both have denied the allegations.
