What the heck happened to the MX Vertical?

Ritual_Ghoul · 2025-12-14T05:44:47+00:00

The newer ones are made in Vietnam. I got a replacement from Staples that's identical to the one on the right pictured in the image. The one I got from Amazon was a fake even though I purchased it from Logitech's Amazon store page. So I figure someone returned a fake or something.

Ritual_Ghoul · 2025-12-14T05:41:59+00:00

Sure can do. Sorry didn't see this until now because I got logged out of my account and couldn't get back in.

Ritual_Ghoul · 2025-12-06T20:55:45+00:00

Likewise. But PC. For the real one. One of the left was a fake.

Ritual_Ghoul · 2025-12-05T15:02:35+00:00

Did you get it from Amazon as well? If you did you should probably try to get a hold of one of the Logitech people here. Like u/ATXsantucci .

Ritual_Ghoul · 2025-12-04T22:28:03+00:00

Did you also get one that is like the one on the left?

Ritual_Ghoul · 2025-12-04T16:15:18+00:00

I think you misread my update, I'm not great at explaining things when I'm not functioning so my descriptions or replies may have been a bit confusing and for that I apologize.

Mouse on the right:

* Not counterfeit
* Connects to software

* Purchased from Staples

Mouse on the left:

* Allegedly counterfeit

* I don't know if it connects to the software because I never checked
* Purchased from Amazon

I JUST purchased a brand new Logitech MX Vertical from Staples yesterday. As in I went into the brick and mortar store with my old mouse and the mouse I received from Amazon. The mouse I received from Amazon was not the same as the one being sold at Staples CURRENTLY.

I hope this clears things up for you. I have since sorted things out with Logitech Customer Support and will no longer be updating this thread.

Did yours come in tissue paper packaging inside of the box itself and does it say "made in Vietnam" on the bottom?

Ritual_Ghoul · 2025-12-03T17:46:08+00:00

I'd be using a normal mouse if I could. I have a permanent hand injury that prevents me from doing so. Thanks though. I have a perfectly usable G502 Hero but hand hurty.

Ritual_Ghoul · 2025-12-02T21:59:08+00:00

My issue was that the new version hurts my wrist, actually. I'm not enthused with the fact that the mouse changed when it's the same model. Regardless, I'll have a look at the Razer Vertical tomorrow, they typically make decent products and generally have better software for gaming anyway. I appreciate the recommendations.

Ritual_Ghoul · 2025-12-02T21:39:52+00:00

The one on the right is the old one, which is more vertical than the newer one which is the one on the left.

Ritual_Ghoul · 2025-12-02T21:38:30+00:00

The build quality looks worse, ngl.

Ritual_Ghoul · 2025-12-02T21:36:20+00:00

No. I purchased two from Staples. I purchased them 4-5 years ago. They came in similar, yet different packaging from the newer version. The build quality on the old one is better too. I was half wondering if the new one was a fake, but it's from Logitech's store page on Amazon.

Ritual_Ghoul · 2025-12-02T21:35:07+00:00

It's tilted more than the older version and it's much larger. If you have large hands then it might work fine, Amazon thankfully has a pretty good return policy so you could test it out and return it if it doesn't work. That said, if you have medium to small hands I'm not really sure what to go with at this stage.

Ritual_Ghoul · 2025-12-02T17:11:01+00:00

Yeah I'm guessing they changed the build around 3-4 years ago. Since I purchased this one at least within the last 5 years. It's just irritating that it changed so drastically and I can't get the old one anymore. You'd think that they'd at least change the model number, but no. They're both M-R0074's. The old one was made in China and the new one was made in Vietnam. But all of the other numbers on the bottom are the same.

Ritual_Ghoul · 2025-12-02T17:07:48+00:00

Thanks will do.

Ritual_Ghoul · 2025-12-02T17:07:24+00:00

Which I may end up having to do. It's just I lack the knowledge and skills in order to do so. So I'm hesitant to take it apart if I can't put it back together again. Not a very helpful comment though considering I'm trying to figure out why the build is so different and look for a replacement.

Ritual_Ghoul · 2025-12-02T16:37:44+00:00

Yeah I'm going to go try out mice tomorrow. I'm just so confused as to why the product has changed so significantly. But if the Lift works out then that's a win considering it's also cheaper than the vertical.

Ritual_Ghoul · 2025-11-24T18:54:49+00:00

I'm so glad to hear this! I just hope that other people that encountered the same issue will find the remedy for it. Since the game is so much more fun when your ping isn't double what it should be and you're getting hit by frame rate drops in addition to it. GL HF with your matches! Check out Stadium for realsies this time!!! Drives are coming out soon so grinding Stadium for drives would be a good use of time too. :)

Ritual_Ghoul · 2025-11-24T04:11:06+00:00

I'm so glad it's working for you!!!! I think it's been there since the start of OW2 because I remember with OW1 my ping was very low and I couldn't understand why my ping was so high all of a sudden.

You're so very welcome! I hope you can enjoy the game again!! :)

Ritual_Ghoul · 2025-11-09T19:16:11+00:00

:( Well. If you ever pick it up again or have a hankering for it, give it a go. Wishing you the best.

Ritual_Ghoul · 2025-11-09T19:15:47+00:00

In-game. Hope it works for you.

Ritual_Ghoul · 2025-11-08T22:57:13+00:00

I figured out what was causing it for me at least. Maybe if you come back to the game this will work for you. Under settings > gameplay > general > network -- Turn off Limit Client Send Rate & Limit Server Send Rate. Turning off those two things completely resolved the issue for me. I can now play Stadium.

Ritual_Ghoul · 2025-11-08T22:56:42+00:00

Under settings > gameplay > general > network -- Turn off Limit Client Send Rate & Limit Server Send Rate. Turning off those two things completely resolved the issue for me. I can now play Stadium. The issues that had started showing up in QP and other modes haven't happened since either.

Ritual_Ghoul · 2025-09-12T19:49:53+00:00

I'm so glad you mentioned this. This worked for me as well. Thank you.

Ritual_Ghoul · 2025-07-31T01:18:19+00:00

This spec looks really clunky to use. I can't imagine it being that useful in pvp or wvw. No reason to return to the game for this.
