Vertical Mouse - alternative to Logitech Lift? (sh.itjust.works)

Update: I bought the Lift mouse and it just works perfect out of the box.

I know there are better communities such as [email protected] , but it isn't as active and I hope you understand me posting here for outreach.

So I have problems with my wrist from working on the computer, so I thought about trying a vertical mouse. I found the Logitech Lift Vertical would be a nice option, but after doing research I read it is a pain on Linux and does not work reliably. About some other models I read you need to set them up with Windows first to get them working (uurgghh)

Does anybody have good experiences with a vertical mouse on Linux?

I use Mint btw

I use an Evolulent and a ProtoArc Trackball for vertical mice. I haven’t had any issues with them on Linux, but I also haven’t really customized any of their settings… I think. Maybe I changed what the 2 extra buttons do on them and I don’t recall using anything other than what’s available on Fedora to accomplish that.
