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 !linuxhardware@programming.dev , 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

That's great to hear! I also do not need any extra features. Here is a reddit thread where people complain: https://www.reddit.com/r/logitech/comments/13c07st/logitech_lift_on_linux_issues/
