MX4 finally got me looking elsewhere until I stumbled upon this: https://ergodriven.com/products/the-vertical-handshake-mouse
I got it specifically because they had a mini rant about the weight of switches that other vertical mice use, and while I couldn't tell if that was a real problem, that's the kind of mentality I used to ascribe to Logitech.
The MX4 is clearly marketing logic. The haptic feature adds nothing of note, and 100% feels like their marketing people got to preempt the core goal of making an ergonomic mouse so they could have a headline.
I'm a big fan of the Zowie EC mice. Basically (egonomically) a clone of ye old Microsoft Intellimouse (From the late 90s/early 2000s when MS actually made good hardware), except with modern guts and available in 3 sizes. For my hand the most comfortable mice every created.
The hand is very off putting, should have hired a better hand model. Also real infomercial vibes, the way the posture completely changes between flat and vertical.
