So when Logitech announced the new Lift mouse that promised ergonomics in an affordable package, I had to take a look. Could it replace my beloved MX Vertical? Surprisingly\u2014yes!<\/p>\n<div class=\"review-card-body-inline\">\n<div class=\"text\">\n<div class=\"pros\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Heres_What_We_Like\"><\/span>Here&#8217;s What We Like<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>More affordable than most vertical mice<\/li>\n<li>Logitech Flow is great<\/li>\n<li>Very comfortable<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cons\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"And_What_We_Dont\"><\/span>And What We Don&#8217;t<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Still a little expensive<\/li>\n<li>Still a little large<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>I\u2019ve used ergonomic keyboards and mice for years now, and that should show in my many reviews of ergonomic keyboards. But while the shape and price of ergonomic keyboards is a little more constant (with some wild exceptions), ergonomic mice are a little rarer and less unique. You have essentially two options: a trackball setup and a \u201cvertical setup.\u201d Both are <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a>ly more expensive than a traditional mouse and call for compromise. Much as I love the MX Vertical, it\u2019s costly and huge. Great for large hands, not so much for everyone else.<\/p>\n<p>The Logitech Lift fixes both those issues but comes with a few compromises of its own.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Shake_Hands_With_Your_Mouse\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_0\">Shake Hands With Your Mouse<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-121100 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2022\/06\/0c8f72b2.png\" alt=\"A hand wrapped around a vertical mouse\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-credittext=\"Logitech\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Logitech<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The best way to describe using a vertical mouse is to imagine you\u2019re shaking hands. That\u2019s basically the position you\u2019ll hold your hand in while using the Logitech Lift. In theory, that relieves pressure on your wrist since you aren\u2019t unnaturally bending the rest backward.<\/p>\n<p>The downside to most vertical computer mice is that they\u2019re formatted for right-handers only. That\u2019s almost a problem even with the standard setup, but often you can reformat buttons and such to make left-handed operation work. But with a vertical shape, that\u2019s an impossible task as the entire mouse curves to fit your thumb and fingers. Thankfully, the Logitech Lift comes in both right-hand and left-hand formats. But you\u2019ll get fewer color options in the latter\u2014 right-hand Lift comes in\u00a0graphite, off-white, and rose, while left-hand only comes in graphite.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond the new colors and left-hand option, the Lift differentiates itself in several notable ways. It uses the new Logitech Bolt receiver (along with Bluetooth), which the company says is more secure and stable than the previous Unifying dongle. But that also means it can\u2019t be paired with the Unifying dongle, so if you\u2019re using an older Logitech Keyboard, you may need two dongles if Bluetooth isn\u2019t an option.<\/p>\n<p>The Lift is also noticeably smaller than the MX Vertical. This is mostly a good thing, I think. The MX Vertical is so large you almost need extra space on your desk to accommodate it. That extra heft also means more time to grow used to its strange shape. And if you have smaller hands, forget about using it.<\/p>\n<p>The Lift\u2019s smaller size fixes all that. It still calls for more room than the average mouse, perhaps, but you won\u2019t feel like you need a new desk just for your mouse. And that also means it should be easier to adapt to the new position. The Lift probably also fits more hands than the MX Vertical as well. But if you have hands that are on the larger size of medium, you may need to adjust. I have \u201cmedium\u201d sized hands and long fingers. I\u2019ve noticed that with the Lift, I curl my fingers slightly to properly use the scroll wheel and clicky buttons. If I didn\u2019t, they\u2019d stretch beyond the edges of the mouse, and my middle finger would hit the scroll wheel at about the halfway point.<\/p>\n<p>But despite that fact, the mouse is very comfortable to use. I didn\u2019t even realize I was curling my fingers until I started trying the Life and the MX Vertical side by side.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Almost_Premium_Materials\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_1\">Almost Premium Materials<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019ve considered buying a vertical mouse in the past, you probably experience sticker shock when you saw the $100 to $150 price many of them command. The Lift manages to shave that price down to a more affordable $69. And while that\u2019s still not the cheapest mouse on the market, it is more palatable compared to its ergonomic brethren.<\/p>\n<p>Logitech managed to shrink the price point by literally shrinking the device and changing out the materials and specs some. The Lift feels less premium in the hand than the MX Vertical, for instance. But if you\u2019ve never held the more expensive mouse, you won\u2019t know what you\u2019re missing. And in an isolated world, the \u201cZen Surface\u201d (as Logitech likes to call it) feels fine to me. Odd, as I\u2019m not used to rubber-feel on a mouse, but fine. One downside to all rubber is dust, which this mouse attracts like a magnet. You\u2019ll see dust in all the pictures, despite efforts to clean up the device. The good news is that dust is far less visible to the naked eye than you see in photos.<\/p>\n<p>The buttons are very quiet but tactile enough, which is probably a boon for anyone working in an office where noise pollution is a bad thing. And the scroll wheel also feels a lot gentler, for lack of a better word, with fewer click points. But again, though it\u2019s maybe \u201cnot as good\u201d as the MX Vertical, the scroll wheel is fine, and you won\u2019t know what you\u2019re missing.<\/p>\n<p>The same goes for the rest of the buttons on the mouse, which are all soft click and slightly rubbery feeling. I don\u2019t tend to use mouse buttons much, so it doesn\u2019t bother me. The one thing you likely will notice is the lack of USB-C charging. Instead, the Lift requires a single AA battery. Logitech says that AA will get you two years of use before you\u2019ll need a new battery. Obviously, I can\u2019t test that claim, but in the nearly two months I\u2019ve used the mouse, the battery level has only dropped 5%, according to the new <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.logitech.com\/en-us\/software\/logi-options-plus.html\">Logitech Options+<\/a> software.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re a fan of Logitech Flow, you\u2019ll be glad to know that\u2019s onboard too. I do wish that Logitech would stop putting the device switch button on the bottom of the mouse. It\u2019s best when it\u2019s a thumb button, as found on the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Logitech-Triathlon-Bluetooth-Hyper-Fast-Scrolling\/dp\/B087Z6LSHW?tag=reviewgeekreviews-20\">Triathalon<\/a>. But that\u2019s really just nitpicking.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_Great_Mouse_All-Around\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_2\">A Great Mouse All-Around<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When you get down to it, I can only think of two reasons not to buy the Logitech Lift. Either you don\u2019t like the vertical mouse form factor, or you have large hands. And if you fit into the latter category, I\u2019d point you to the MX Vertical.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond that, the Lift is a stellar ergonomic mouse. It\u2019s comfortable, reliable, and while the AA battery is annoying, I don\u2019t actually see the extra $30 to get the MX Veritical\u2019s rechargeable battery as a justified cost. And it\u2019s very likely the AA battery issue will only come up every year or two, which you can\u2019t actually say about the MX Vertical. That mouse needs charging every few months. You can find less expensive vertical mouse options out there, of course. But they cut far more corners in materials and function. They\u2019re cheaper because they\u2019re \u201ccheaper.\u201d This feels like the right middle ground.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re thinking about a vertical mouse and $100 (or more) is too steep for you, get the Logitech Lift. It\u2019s a great all-around ergonomic mouse.<\/p>\n<div class=\"single-review-card border\">\n<div class=\"review-card-body\">\n<div class=\"text\">\n<div class=\"pros\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Heres_What_We_Like-2\"><\/span>Here\u2019s What We Like<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>More affordable than most vertical mice<\/li>\n<li>Logitech Flow is great<\/li>\n<li>Very comfortable<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cons\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"And_What_We_Dont-2\"><\/span>And What We Don&#8217;t<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Still a little expensive<\/li>\n<li>Still a little large<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\nsetTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '1137093656460433');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
