Shared-desk journal editors
If someone sits nearby while you arrange text and images, click noise may matter alongside grip. Logitech describes Lift as having quiet clicks, while Trust describes Bayo II Wireless as having silent buttons.
Who might use a vertical mouse here
Laptop-based editors with limited ports
Choose a connection method that works with your laptop and available ports. Logitech lists Bluetooth Low Energy and a Logi Bolt USB receiver as connection options for Lift.
Editors reassessing their desk setup
A different mouse shape is only one part of the arrangement. The Health and Safety Executive advises keeping the mouse in line with your elbow and the keyboard just below elbow height.
What matters when choosing
Start with hand fit and mouse placement, then decide how much click noise, connectivity and pointer controls matter at your shared desk.
| Concern | What to check | Who this matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Hand fit and desk position | Check the model’s hand-size guidance and whether you can reach its buttons while keeping the mouse close to the keyboard and in line with your elbow. | If the grip makes me stretch or the desk makes me reach, changing the mouse shape will not address the whole setup. Around 37% of consumers put fit and workstation position first. |
| Quiet clicks | Look for a quiet-click or silent-button claim for the exact model; if wheel noise matters, check that separately. | When someone works beside me, repeated clicks could be distracting even if the mouse fits my hand. Roughly 36% of consumers prioritise quieter operation. |
| Connection and editing controls | Confirm Bluetooth or receiver support, the ports your device needs, operating-system compatibility and any cursor-speed controls you plan to use. | If I edit across devices or adjust the pointer for layouts, the connection and controls need to suit that workflow. About 27% of consumers make those needs their main priority. |
Common buying pitfalls
-
Choosing by vertical angle alone
A stated angle describes the mouse, not how your chair, keyboard, screen and mouse sit together. The Health and Safety Executive advises keeping the mouse in line with your elbow.
Arrange the desk first, then check whether the mouse fits your hand without making you reach.
-
Assuming every vertical mouse clicks quietly
Quiet buttons are a model-specific feature: Logitech describes them for Lift, and Trust describes silent buttons for Bayo II Wireless.
Check the exact model’s button description rather than treating its vertical shape as evidence of low noise.
-
Overlooking the receiver’s USB port
A mouse that connects through a USB receiver needs a suitable free port. Bluetooth is an alternative only on models that offer it.
Check your laptop’s ports and the selected mouse’s connection options before ordering.
-
Assuming a product page means a mouse is available
Joybuy displayed an out-of-stock notice on its Logitech Lift product page, so the existence of a listing does not establish that an order can be placed.
Check current availability, the selected variant and delivery terms on the product page before deciding.
Relevant brands to consider
Logitech
Lift and MX Vertical address different priorities within Logitech’s vertical-mouse range.
- Logitech describes Lift as a 57° mouse for small to medium hands, with quiet clicks and a left-handed option.
- Logitech lists a 57° angle, cursor-speed switch and customisation for MX Vertical; do not assume Lift’s quiet-click feature applies to it.
Trust
Bayo II Wireless is worth considering if silent buttons and a USB-receiver connection suit your desk.
- Trust describes a 57° angle, thumb rest, silent buttons and adjustable 800–2400 DPI tracking for this model.
- Its stated 2.4G USB micro receiver needs a suitable port; check the connection method against your laptop before choosing it.
V7
The MW500BT offers a route to consider when both Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz connection options matter.
- The Joybuy listing describes six buttons and 800, 1200 and 1600 DPI settings for the MW500BT.
- Check hand fit and click sound for this exact model if comfort or noise is a deciding factor.

Questions about shared-desk editing
Will a vertical mouse alone address discomfort while editing?
No mouse shape replaces arranging the whole workstation. The Health and Safety Executive advises keeping your shoulders relaxed, the keyboard just below elbow height and the mouse in line with your elbow.
Does a shared desk at work need a display screen equipment assessment?
The Health and Safety Executive says employers must assess workstations for workers who use display screen equipment daily as part of normal work, continuously for an hour or more. The assessment concerns the workstation and individual requirements, not just the choice of mouse.
How do I choose a mouse that will disturb a desk neighbour less?
Look for a quiet-click or silent-button statement for the exact model. Logitech describes Lift as having quiet clicks and Trust describes Bayo II Wireless as having silent buttons; neither claim applies automatically to other vertical mice.
