what an intro, want more of that
-
This intro was officially the best thing yet on LTT. The best!
-
Actually this mouse saved my wrist from serious pain. I am a graphics designer and I work on projects sometimes 10 hours a day. Plus guess what I'm doing on my free time... I USE THE COMPUTER!!! So yes, it really is a big deal.

0:55 Why is no one talking about the fact that he opened the glass on his face
-
i was waiting for that "enhance" so bad xDDD
-
I was much happier not knowing my arm bones did that
-
The instant I saw the screen: "Say it. Say it... SAY IT!!!!" Linus: "Enhance" YES!! HAHA

I'm a programmer and gamer, so I'm on the computer all day. I have both the MX Vertical and a G502 mouse on my desk and plugged in so that I can switch between them on a whim. I have to say the reduced wrist pain from using the MX Vertical makes the reduced number of features in comparison to the G502 definitely worth it (and I do use all the extra features of the G502 when I do use it, so it's not like they are useless to me). I actually use the MX Vertical even for gaming most of the time, which I hear most people say they can't do, so maybe I'm just weird haha. Honestly, the only time I feel the need to switch over to the G502 is when I'm playing a multiplayer FPS, which isn't often for me anyway. I actually didn't feel that steep learning curve that Linus mentioned. I was able to use it pretty quickly and effectively within a couple hours. I can imagine having the "fake click" problem James was having if I was using it on a smooth, hard surface, but I use it on a cloth mouse pad and don't have that problem so maybe that's the difference. I do share the gripe of not being able to reach the forward button easily, but I have that problem on all mice so yeah. Anyway, I love the mouse and I definitely think it was worth the $100.

Gotta love when Linus uses the IBM Model M attire.
-
This is one of the few videos, in which you see the RED camera used to its fullest potential. Very pleasing for my eyes, props to Brandon!

I started to get arm pain this year and switched to this mouse. It felt weird at first, but within a week it felt completely natural and now I can't go back to a regular mouse, even for gaming. The lack of features compared to the rest of the MX lineup is a pity, but it's still my favourite mouse I've ever tried.

Anyone else’s arms feel weird when Linus is talking about repetitive strain injuries. EDIT thanks for 1k likes :)
-
We need more of this intro
-
We need an LTT movie that’s a 45 minute commercial for every new piece of tech.

Is this the equivalent of holding your gun sideways? Gangsta gaming?
-
I really have to say that this is the first mouse that I have used in over 6 years. Ever since I switched to a laptop I was just fine with a trackpad. I used an arc mouse that I got with my Surface Laptop and liked the precision that I gained, but hated this weird mouse so I bought the vertical after testing it at Best Buy. I love it. I do not experience the same weird problems that James had and for me it feels like second nature. Since I am a pleb and used to trackpads I am not sorry that this mouse has less buttons. It is accurate, it is amazing to hold and I can work with it for hours upon hours.

From the moment I saw Linus standing with a suit at that angle, I was already waiting for him to utter the word "enhance".
-
i saved almost 100 bucks by just placing my desk on it's side! ;)
-
My work bought me one of these about 6 months ago, super weird initially but I'm now a massive fan! You get just as accurate as a "normal" mouse over time.
-
That Anker mouse you showed briefly at 7:50 is quite satisfactory. I have one. I didn't have a much trouble getting used to it and can ever use it for shooters.
