Update: I bought the Lift mouse and it just works perfect out of the box.

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 ended up buying the Lift Vertical and I cannot confirm what you are saying. The click does not need a lot of pressure and the mouse does not move at all. I do not need to tense my hand. So far I am pretty happy with it and I feel it really relaxes my wrist.
I will report back in some weeks though, if the pain is really gone.

Btw. I have a height adjustable desk already.
