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.
