THE SHIP THE ROYAL NAVY COULDN'T CATCH
Most ships of the War of 1812 fought with guns.
The Prince de Neufchatel fought with speed.
Built in New York in 1812, she was one of the fastest vessels on the Atlantic. Long, narrow, and aggressively rigged, the Prince routinely slipped away from Royal Navy warships that should have caught her.
When she wasn't escaping, she was hunting.
As an American privateer, her mission was simple: capture British merchant ships, seize their cargo, and disappear over the horizon before the Royal Navy arrived.
And she was exceptionally good at it.
The Legend of Nantucket Shoals
But speed alone didn't make her famous.
On the night of October 11, 1814, while anchored off Nantucket, the Prince de Neufchatel faced one of the most remarkable attacks of the War of 1812.
With much of her crew absent aboard captured prize ships, only 37 men remained aboard.
The British sent approximately 111 sailors and marines in heavily armed boats to board and capture her.
What followed was twenty minutes of brutal close-quarters combat.
Pistols.
Cutlasses.
Muskets.
Hand-to-hand fighting on a darkened deck.
When it was over, the British attack had collapsed. The survivors withdrew. The Prince remained free.
The action became one of the most celebrated small-ship engagements in American naval history.
Even decades later, naval architects studied her lines. Many historians consider the Prince de Neufchatel a forerunner of the famous clipper ships that would dominate the oceans years later.

My favorite mouse ever
Style: Right-Handed, Pattern Name: Mouse, Color: Off White
I'm very particular when it comes to mice. It has to be:
- quiet click and scroll
- scroll wheel, not track ball
- bluetooth
- vertical
- real battery, NOT rechargeable
There are actually several mice that fit all those criteria, and I've tried nearly all. This Logitech is double the price of most of the others, but for me well worth it. Prior to this I used the Mojo which is about half the price, and that mouse is probably my 2nd favorite but it is a distant second. Compared to the Mojo and others, this mouse has more precise movement, smoother scrolling, and more reliable clicks. Because of the vertical orientation, my finger tends to click diagonally downward with gravity instead of fully horizontal in line with the intended click direction. That causes the Mojo to sometimes miss my clicks, forcing me to constrain my finger direction more carefully, often requiring several tries just to click something. But this Logitech has no such issue, it's very responsive every time even with my sloppy clicks.
So while I used to think the Mojo was the best I could find given my requirements, this Logitech is clearly better. When I spend all day at the computer, these minor things make a big difference to me, therefore well worth the extra money.
Also want to mention I'm 6' 4" tall and the size of this mouse is fine for me. It is a little smaller than some others, but it feels fine in my hand, it's not abnormally tiny or anything. I was concerned because the description says it's intended for smaller hands and suggested I should get their larger MX Vertical model instead. I would have considered it but the MX Vertical has a rechargeable battery which is a deal-breaker for me. What's my beef with rechargeable batteries? Earlier I had the Seenda vertical mouse but its rechargeable battery died after a year, unable to recharge, so I figured it was a fluke and bought another, and same thing happened after a few months. So after that I switched to replaceable batteries and never looked back. Replaceable batteries last forever (well, they only last a year too, but then you just replace the battery!). I've been very happy using replaceable batteries, way more reliable and durable, because all rechargeables die eventually, and it is easier to replace a battery than an entire mouse!
So in summary, if you're price sensitive you could get a usable vertical mouse for less. But if you're OK to spend a little more for a tool you might well use all day for years, then this one is totally worth it IMO.

Don't Delay - Get One
Style: Right-Handed, Pattern Name: Mouse, Color: Graphite
Make sure you get the right size - I got the Small/Med. Perfect fit. Have had tennis elbow for years and the computer use exacerbated the issue. Very comfortable, great fit. The best position for your hand is in the upright position. Would recommend one for everyone. Good, solid mouse.

Bad auto driver install. Great mouse. Few of the left hand mfgs.
Style: Left-Handed, Pattern Name: Mouse, Color: Graphite
Really crappy auto driver install. Locked up my USB ports for my usb keyboard, usb mouse, all usb ports in fact. Had to reboot multiple times with an old style 5pin keyboard since the software screwed up my usb ports. All of them. Lucky I have a motherboard with an old style keyboard port. A reboot of W11 in safe mode, ripped out auto-installed software, registry keys and rebooted to regain control of my USB ports. I do not know what went wrong. Alls I know is Logitech loaded something, it locked up my USB ports and I had to rip everything Logitech out to get control again. I downloaded the software, installed it and it worked fine. I've had no problems since.
I'm an old lefty and as such am ambidextrous in most areas, since there just was not left handed oriented items readily available. You had to have left handed stuff made so you learned to do things right handed. I've developed carpal tunnel in both elbows and had purchased a couple of vertical mice, one left and one right. I took the left into work and was looking for a replacement. My other two were around $30 ea. I liked the right handed vertical mouse (Anker). They do not make a left handed version. The left handed mouse is ok, not as good as the Anker. I decided to go above my spend tolerance and get the Logi after reading many reviews. It has not disappointed me. The auto-install sucked. Never letting that happen again.
It is a nice smooth mouse. Fine movements that are easily adjustable. The hand position is excellent. I can use this all day without switching to the right because of elbow pain. If you have the pain, you know what I am talking about when it flares. It takes some getting used to the subtlety of the clicks when coming from lower cost mice. Soft and gently like a newborn's ....
One of my big criteria for a vertical mouse is a landing area for the outer two fingers (pinky and next to pinky for finger orientation challenged). When you go to a vertical mouse, it takes some adjustment to moving the mouse since you can't really press down with your palm and inside two fingers (the ones next to the outside two fingers). It is helpful to be able to use the two outer fingers and thumb to aid in moving the mouse. You have to experience a vertical mouse to understand. The right handed only Anker goes from an inch to a half inch in the length of my pinky below the buttons on the side. This is a really nice landing area for the outside fingers to assist moving the mouse around. You can squeeze a little and the mouse glides. The Logi mouse is a wee shorter than the Anker and the area below the buttons in a mostly straight 3/4". Both mice curve quickly down to the inside below this area. I was used to a vertical mouse by the time I purchased the Logi and I have no issues with the pinky dragging the table and the finger next to pinky resting on the landing. I move the mouse with no problems. It is the subtlety of how one interacts with these style of mice. The big plus, takes a long time before mouse use causes pain flareups. And this isn't just a pain and done. Depending on how one ignores the pain, often determines how many days life sucks. The Logi mouse minimizes the flare ups. I'm thinking of taking the Anker in and getting a right handed Logi for home. I like the Anker, I'm frugal and highly recommend it for getting your feet wet. I love the Logi (auto-install sucks) and will probably ignore my frugal tendencies and get a right handed one since I don't switch hands as frequently with the Logi in the mix. Don't have to suffer auto-install either.

Vast improvement over traditional mice
Style: Left-Handed, Pattern Name: Mouse, Color: Graphite
This review is primarily for the left handed version. When Logitech introduced the left handed Mouseman in 1991, it was the first and only ergonomic mouse for left handers. Merchants refused to dedicate shelf space to it, so it was short lived.
The latest version is leaps and bounds above the original and is the most comfortable and natural feeling mouse that I've ever used. At first, it was awkward to use. After about 20 seconds, it felt natural, and traditional mice started feeling very awkward. This mouse lets you keep your arm and wrist in a natural position, whether you are using it as a desk mouse or a couch mouse.
The primary button is the index finger button, whether you use the left or right handed version. The Logitech software doesn't have a true setting for swapping buttons, and uses the Windows setting. So if you had your buttons swapped for your old mouse, you need to unswap them. It also means that your old mouse becomes a right handed mouse on that computer. There's no way of having both set to left handed.
There's a switch to change the sensitivity. The normal one lets you do work needing fine movements, such as drawing programs. The other setting makes it more sensitive to movement, which means more mouse movement with less hand movement. It's also a good feature if you have limited desk space or are using an airplane tray. This lets you avoid having to use the setup screens to change sensitivity.
The scroll wheel is smooth and accurate. It also works for horizontal scrolling if used in conjunction with one of the buttons on the thumb side. It takes getting used to, and is still awkward for me. Those buttons are forward and back buttons by default, so don't use it while editing something on a web page until you are used to it, or you could end up losing everything. A problem is that their Logi software doesn't let you set the scroll increment. It can be done with the Windows mouse settings, but you shouldn't have to go two places to set what the mouse does. Pressing the middle button changes from moving the pointer up and down to scrolling the page up and down. Unfortunately, there's no speed adjustment. The round symbol that pops up should really be a longer vertical symbol that allows greater control over speed.
The mouse includes a Logibolt receiver that can plug into a USB port, or you can use the mouse directly with your computer's Bluetooth if it meets the specs.
If you use it with your computer's Bluetooth, you remove the tab from the mouse so the battery connects, and then use your computer's Bluetooth configuration. That will save you a USB port. If you need to use the mouse to set up Bluetooth, use the receiver, and then store it inside the mouse once you have your computer's Bluetooth set up.
If you use the receiver, plug it into a USB port first, then pull the tab. If you want to be able to use both, there's a button on the bottom to let you set it for up to three different devices. So if it's set for your computer's Bluetooth, and want to set up the receiver to use on another computer, plug in the receiver, touch the button on the bottom of the mouse (the light will move from 1 to 2) and you will be paired. You can also use the third setting for another device. If you paired it to both using the same computer, you can unplug the receiver and use the button to go back to setting 1.
If you have a desktop computer, you will want to have the receiver paired, and can use it if you need to change a bios setting, since Windows won't be loaded. So it's good to pair it, even if you will just store it inside the mouse. It would be good to pair it anyway with any computer, so it's ready to go if you ever need it.
There's no instruction manual included, nor do they give you a link to one in the configuration software. The QR code takes you to the software download page, but doesn't give a link to the online manual. So some of this wasn't clear to me without searching online. Their original Mouseman came with a 148 page manual and a 48 page getting started guide. The new one comes with pictorial printed on the cardboard it's wrapped in. Something in between might have been nice, even if it were just a link to the manual.
Update: 18 months later, it's still working well but the battery is down to 5%. I'm changing the battery.
