Customer Ratings & Reviews

Logitech is already extremely well-known for designing & manufacturing keyboards & mice of exceptional quality, as well as outstanding functionality…and, as such, I had high expectations for their new ergonomic mouse. Did they meet, surpass, or fail to meet, my expectations? Let’s find out. Before I continue, it should be pointed out that ergonomic mice are not something new…to Logitech, or in-general. Ergonomic mice (and keyboards) first started hitting the market over 30 years ago, including several made by Logitech…so, Logitech already has some experience in this area. UNBOXING, AND INITIAL IMPRESSIONS: I won’t bother getting into the packaging, as Logitech has this down to a science, from which other companies could learn a considerable amount. Removing the mouse from the box, I was simultaneously please, and baffled. I’ve seen ergonomic mice before…but, this one is, to say the least, “unusual”, although NOT in a ‘displeasing’ way. Naturally, I’m right-handed, although I’m fairly proficient in using my left (not quite “ambidextrous”, but good enough to use a left-handed mouse…which my step-dad is now using, as he IS left-handed). The ‘claim’ made by every manufacturer producing ergonomic mice (and keyboards) has always been that they put the hand(s) in “a more natural position”. And, for the most part, they have always succeeded…but, not perfectly – there have ALWAYS been ‘quirks’ that one had to either work past, or just get used to. However, in the case of the Logitech Lift Vertical Ergonomic Mouse, my hand felt completely natural in its resting position. Although the shape is virtually identical to Logitech’s MX Vertical mouse, it is slightly smaller, and just feels more “natural” (NOTE: for those with large hands, the MX Vertical is probably a better choice). This IS a first, and one I greatly appreciated. SETUP: Setup should be very straight-forward, whether using a Windows computer (which I have), or a Mac (which I don’t, but assume the setup is equally simple). If your computer has Bluetooth (which almost all do these days), getting the mouse operational is as simple as pairing the mouse within the computer’s settings. Optionally (and for better/faster control), you can use the included Bolt dongle. In testing the mouse, I tried both – Bluetooth on my desktop, and the Bolt dongle on my laptop (only because I have no more available USB ports on my desktop). With the Bolt dongle, the mouse is already paired. Using Logitech’s “Options+” software, you can easily configure the buttons, scrolling, and all other options to your heart’s content. Additionally (and, the primary reason I was simultaneously testing the mouse on two computers), through Logitech’s Flow technology, you can mot only move the cursor directly from one computer, to the other, and back…but, it makes copying/moving files from one computer to another a snap. Remember the days of having to use a KVM switch to use a single keyboard & mouse with two computers? With Flow, the need for KVM switches is completely gone…plus, Flow offers features & functions that KVM switches could have never done. COMFORT & EASE OF OPERATION: This section is going to be EXTREMELY short. As I said, above, placing my hand on the Lift Vertical mouse…even a left-hand version…felt COMPLETELY natural. I think that’s all I need to say on the subject. FINAL VERDICT: If you haven’t already gotten the impression I love this mouse, then you haven’t been paying attention. For those who want/need an ergonomic mouse, not only do I think you won’t find a better option, but I can (virtually) guarantee you’ll find this to be the best ergonomic mouse ever designed. The ‘sad’ thing is, I’m no longer using it. Why? As I said, I’m not (fully) left-handed…but, my step-dad is, and so he is the one now using it (he’s using it right now, as I type this)…and, he absolutely LOVES it. He already had a Logitech mouse (and, he’s keeping it as a “backup”), but the Lift Vertical Ergonomic Mouse is what he is using full-time. Ok…enough said.

Nevertheless, the above review, be it positive, negative, or anywhere in-between, is a 100% honest review, and the price paid played absolutely no part in my review.

The Logitech – Lift Left Vertical Wireless Ergonomic Left-Handed Mouse has to the best design of a mouse for left-handed people. Gone are the pains of using an ergonomic mouse designed for right-handed people. Even after hours of use I did not have any discomfort from use. Of all the left-handed mouse’s I have tried in the past, this mouse out done them all. The Lift Left Vertical Wireless Mouse is only lacking in two areas. The first is there are not enough programable buttons, and the second is this mouse is hard to reposition while using it. In the box is: Mouse USB Dongle Battery Some instructions The mouse itself glides effortlessly on the table. The scroll wheel also moves smoothly. I did have a small learning curve to adjust to the different controls. I did not try to connect the mouse to other devices, you can however connect to three different devices using Bluetooth and a slide button on the bottom to select between. So, position one is the USB receiver and 2,3 are via Bluetooth. In the end if you are left-handed this is a must own. After a few minutes of use you will understand why using an upright mouse if better on the wrist and hand. I would recommend this Mouse to friends and family who are left-handed.

I am inherently a right-hand dominant person who, at age 42, had to train himself to become left-hand dominant for medical reasons. So, I’m always on the lookout for a better left-handed mouse and I thought I would give this one a try. I’m glad I did because I got to experience several innovative firsts that I’ve not seen before in a computer mouse. One of the first things I noticed during unpacking, when I was getting ready to install the mouse, was the amazing battery door on the bottom of the mouse. I was unsuccessfully trying to get it to slide open like every mouse I’ve ever owned. However, when I pressed down on the straight side of the battery door, the curved opposite side popped up. So, I carefully lifted the door off and discovered that it does not slide and instead is held in its closed position by three tiny magnets. That’s a first for me. Never seen that before. By the way, that’s a nice piece of Keep It Simple engineering by Logitech. I removed the Logi Bolt USB Receiver from its storage slot next to the AA battery and installed it in one of my computer’s USB ports. Turned the mouse on and within moments, it connected flawlessly with the USB receiver, and I was ready to begin testing this vertical mouse. The second thing that impressed me is the scroll wheel literally free wheels when you give it a spin. I’ve never seen anything like that in another mouse. There is also a little button behind the scroll wheel that allows you to select between speed scrolling and precision scrolling. Another piece of engineering I’ve not seen in any other mice. The left and right buttons push gently with almost no resistance. Also, I am amazed by how little finger strength is needed to activate the Left and Right buttons and to roll the Scroll Wheel. This mouse also has the standard Back and Forward buttons for your thumb to actuate. All the button functions on this mouse are reprogrammable using the Logi Options+ software. As with anything different there is a learning curve. And going from a horizontal mouse to a vertical mouse is no different. I plan to give this mouse my best effort over the upcoming days and weeks, but I’m just not sure that for me vertical will be any improvement over horizontal. My hand feels strange in the vertical position and I’m experiencing difficulty in trying to be precise when fine mouse movements are needed. I think this is because movement of the whole hand and forearm is required to navigate a vertical mouse vs. just the fingers and fingertips when precision navigation is required using a horizontal mouse. Overall, the Logitech Lift Ergonomic Wireless Mouse was interesting to use and may be a perfect solution for some people. I can recommend it because it seems to be very well-made and has a lot of modern, innovative technology built in. But, for me, I’m not yet sure if having my left-hand vertical is any improvement over having my left-hand horizontal. Only time will tell.
