Mice: two uses
Gaming or vertical mouse: choose for your use
These mice serve different needs. Comparing their shape and role in your day is more useful than seeking a universal winner. This guide offers a selection method; Jess has not tested them.

Start with what bothers you today
Write down one specific issue: too little room to move, an obstructive cable, hard-to-reach buttons or an unsuitable grip. Measure the available space too. A different model alone will not fix a poorly positioned desk or a cluttered workspace.
SUPERLIGHT 2: consider freedom of movement
The SUPERLIGHT 2 represents the lightweight gaming option here. Compare its shape with your current mouse and consider the buttons you actually need. Do not choose on stated weight alone: a light mouse that makes you constantly adjust your grip may miss your goal.
MX Vertical: consider hand position
The MX Vertical represents a right-handed vertical grip. Check its dimensions and, if possible, try a comparable shape before ordering. The ergonomic label does not guarantee comfort for everyone. This comparison is not medical advice.
Plan a check after setup
During setup, adjust pointer speed gradually. Return to your usual tasks and games, then observe how easily you can reach the controls. Check the seller’s return conditions before buying; JessDeals does not guarantee any particular trial period.
Key points at a glance
