Logitech - Lift Vertical Wireless Ergonomic Mouse with 4 Customizable Buttons - Graphite

I love this mouse! I was using a wired, very basic mouse and thought it was about time I upgraded to something more ergonomic. I did some research and this mouse (along with the larger Logitech MX Vertical) was recommended frequently. As I have smaller hands, I decided to go with this model. I've always had good success with Logitech as well so I felt this Logitech Lift was a smart choice. And wow, I'm so happy I did and I wish I had thought to buy this mouse sooner! It arrived in a compact and sturdy box, the mouse was very secure inside and there was no wasted space with the box. It had some easy to understand illustrated instructions on the cardboard wrapper inside the box and a URL. When I went to the URL, it took me to a web page that asked me if I needed help setting up a device or if I wanted help with ergonomics. Both of these options I viewed and they were simple, easy to understand, and helpful. This extra little touch was nice and I liked being able to read written instructions and see tips for desk ergonomics. Pairing the mouse to my computer was easy. A bit on the bottom of the mouse pops off after you pull a tab (you only need to pull this tab once, otherwise this plastic cover is held by magnets and is easy to remove and put back on) and inside is one AA battery and the USB dongle. To pair it with my computer, I plugged the dongle into an open USB slot and that was it, so easy! I also could have paired it by Bluetooth but the dongle was easy and worked well for me. If needed, the mouse can be paired with three different devices by Bluetooth and an extra fourth option with the dongle, although I didn't try this option. As for how it is in use, it's so comfortable and works perfectly. I've never used an ergonomic mouse before so I was a tad worried about how it would feel and not sure what to expect but upon first use, it felt very natural right away. The scroll wheel is smooth and quiet and the buttons are easy to click. The whole thing is very responsive. The rubber portion feels luxurious and overall it's great in the hand. It feels like its made of quality materials and like it will last a long time. I also like that it came in pink as this matches rest of my desk and it's fun to have that pop of color. Another thing I like about this mouse is the Logi Options+ program. I read about it at the link from the inner cardboard sleeve from the box, so I would recommend visiting this website once you open the mouse up. Once installed, the program guides you through all the buttons and helps you customize each one, adjust pointer speed, and toggle through sensitivity levels, which I found very useful. It also will keep me informed of when the battery is low. In summary, I'm happy with this mouse. It's easy to use, comfortable, and feels well made. It looks great on my desk and it's nice not to have to fiddle with any wires. I can't think of anything negative about this mouse. If you have a smaller or medium sized hand and are looking for an ergonomic mouse, I recommend the Logitech Lift.

I wish it were the size of the Anker mouse like it, but it works better overall so I can’t knock it a star because the size was mentioned in other reviews (I’m a 6’ woman with long fingers too, so it’s probably perfect for most females hands). Probably too small for a lot of men. Responds well, battery lasts waaay longer than the Anker one (only reason I replaced it). Overall a great mouse.

I was really looking forward to a smaller version of the MX Vertical. I started using the MX Vertical a couple years ago due to pain in my wrist and arms while using traditionally designed mice. It's much easier on my wrist with the MX Vertical and I no longer have wrist pain! I saw the smaller Lift size and ordered one when one of my older Logitech mice finally died after a few years (older MX Ergo). The size perfectly fits my smaller hand (I'm 5'1"). However, depending on how you use your mouse this may not work well for you. I constantly pick up my mouse to move it (working on 3 27" monitors) as this allows my desk area used for the mouse to be small. I have 2 computers with 4 screens total with 2 mice side by side. If you're only using 1 monitor with this mouse, this may be great for you. If you move the mouse like I do with 2 or more monitors, there isn't enough grip on the thumb side of the mouse to pick it up and move it. If you compare the textured area for grip from the Lift to the MX Vertical, you can see the grip for the MX Vertical on the thumb side goes almost to the front of the mouse. I think if this design were improved, it would be 5 stars for me. I understand this may be fine for some users but it would really help if the grip went farther up the mouse on the thumb side of the mouse. I'm going to try a grip sticker on the thumb side and hope this works or give it to someone else. In the pictures, you can see the grip area of the gray MX Vertical. In the pink Lift picture, I have my pinky underneath to lift the mouse for the picture. Otherwise it falls out of my hand because I can't grip it with my thumb. I am personally not recommending the item but I do think it would work for some users. Many other reviews are positive but I think it would work for everyone with smaller hands with a slight design change. Thanks for your consideration, Logitech!
