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.

The Logitech Ergo Lift Left Vertical Ergonomic Mouse for left handed users is an extremely comfortable, durable and well designed mouse that comes in off-white, graphite or rose. From a design standpoint the Lift Left puts the controls in the same orientation as the right-handed Lift except reversed. It has six buttons: Left/Right-click, Back/Forward, Middle button, and a Scroll-wheel with middle click. It keeps your arm and wrist in a more relaxed position - think of shaking a hand, The physical specifications are great for small to medium sized hands - Height: 2.8 in (71 mm) Width: 2.7 in (70 mm) Depth: 4.25 in (108 mm) Weight: 4.4 oz (125 g) It uses a Logitech Advanced Optical Tracking Sensor with a Dpi range of 400-4000 adjustable in 100DPI increments. It uses a AA Battery battery that is included and should last up to 24 months. It uses an included Logi Bolt USB receiver that uses one USB port along with Bluetooth® Low Energy Technology and a Wireless range of about 30 ft. (But most people will be much closer to the Logi Bolt receiver). It runs on most current OS It is great for small to medium-sized hands, providing all day comfort, I have carpel tunnel syndrome in my right wrist periodically. Being somewhat ambidextrous I used to switch my mouse from right side to left side. The best. Compromise for me was to use a non-ergonomic mouse to accommodate both hands. Now I have a great way to switch hands and am planning to get the right hand version for even more comfort. All in all a Great mouse!
