Good Deal Logitech MX Vertical deal

If you spend most of your working day at a mouse, the Logitech MX Vertical is one of the more practical desk upgrades you can make, and at $74.99 it’s down $45 off its $119.99 list price in a limited-time deal. The vertical design isn’t a gimmick: Logitech’s own testing shows a 10% reduction in muscular activity compared to a standard mouse, and the 57° wrist angle addresses the pressure points that build up over a long day in a way that a standard horizontal mouse simply doesn’t.

What you’re getting

The MX Vertical’s 57° angle puts your hand in a natural handshake position rather than the pronated grip that standard mice require. That rotation takes the pressure off the forearm and wrist, and the dedicated thumb rest positions your thumb comfortably without any adjustment period. Logitech worked with leading ergonomists on the design criteria, which is reflected in the result: this is a mouse that was built around how the human hand actually sits rather than retrofitted with a vertical angle as an afterthought.

The 4000 DPI high-precision sensor means less physical hand movement to cover the same cursor distance, which compounds the fatigue reduction across a full working day. A cursor speed switch on the top of the MX Vertical lets you adjust DPI on the fly without diving into software settings, which is a practical detail for anyone switching between tasks that need precision and those that don’t.

Multi-device support covers up to three Windows and Apple computers simultaneously, with Easy-Switch toggling between them. The rechargeable battery removes the ongoing cost of disposables, and the textured rubber surface keeps the grip secure without feeling clinical. Wireless connectivity keeps the desk clean.

Why it’s worth it

Ergonomic mice with serious sensor specs and multi-device support typically hold their price well. The MX Vertical at $74.99 brings all of that to a price that makes the upgrade decision straightforward for anyone already experiencing wrist discomfort or looking to get ahead of it, and the limited-time pricing makes this worth acting on before it moves back up.

The bottom line

The Logitech MX Vertical at $74.99 is one of the more genuinely useful desk upgrades available at this price. The vertical design, 4000 DPI sensor, and multi-device support add up to a mouse that improves how your wrist feels at the end of the day and performs well enough to make no compromises doing it, and the $45 saving makes the timing right.

What happens when AI detectors fail? Researchers say we must be trained to spot fake AI faces
Researchers say spotting AI faces may soon depend more on people than software
Zuckerberg Deepfake

Artificial intelligence has become remarkably good at creating fake human faces. So good, in fact, that the old tricks people relied on - counting fingers, spotting warped earrings, or looking for distorted backgrounds - are quickly becoming obsolete. According to a new study highlighted by the BBC, the next line of defence may not be a better AI detector at all. It might simply be a better-trained human.

Researchers from the University of Aberdeen, working alongside Australia's National University, found that people can dramatically improve their ability to distinguish AI-generated faces from real ones after a relatively short period of structured training. Instead of hunting for obvious visual glitches, participants were taught to recognise subtle patterns that modern image generators still struggle to replicate consistently.

Google’s new Magic Pointer Play Store listing reveals a Gemini shortcut built for Googlebooks
The unannounced app turns the cursor into a contextual AI tool for search, image creation, and shopping
Plant, Text, Business Card

Google has quietly published a new Play Store listing for Magic Pointer, an unannounced app built for Googlebooks. Updated on July 10, the app turns the cursor into a Gemini shortcut that can act on whatever a user selects on screen.

Magic Pointer can send an image to Lens, generate a related image, or surface a shopping action without forcing users to open a separate chatbot. Regular Android devices currently show as incompatible, so the listing offers an early preview rather than a broad release.

You can stop using AI, but this new report says you probably can’t escape it
A UK survey found that most people feel AI exposure is unavoidable, raising harder questions about consent, privacy, and whether opting out is still realistic
AI Chatbots

More people are trying to use less AI, but avoiding it altogether may already be impossible.

A survey of 2,055 UK adults found that 42% deliberately limit how much AI they use. Another 70% said avoiding AI exposure would be difficult or impossible, even when they actively wanted less of it.
