3 Things to Know About Vertical Mice and Mousepads

Vertical mice use the same sensors as regular mice The optical or laser sensor sits on the bottom, pointing straight down, just like any other mouse. The tilt of your hand does not change how it tracks.

Your current mousepad will work fine Hard pads, cloth pads, or even a desk surface all work the same with a vertical mouse. If your mousepad works with a regular mouse, it will work with a vertical one.

Foot and weight differences affect glide, not tracking Some vertical mice have different feet or weight, but that only changes how the mouse feels when moving. It does not affect sensor performance.
