The Logitech Lift mouse is smaller and lighter than the old vertical mouse from Logitech. But some people might still need time to get used to its design.

Specifications 

• Max DPI: 4,000
• Buttons: Six
• Size: 4.3 x 2.8 x 2.7 inches
• Weight: 4.4 ounces

When you try the Logitech Lift mouse, you'll quickly decide if you love it or not. It's different from regular mice like the Logitech MX Vertical. You hold it more like a coffee cup than a usual mouse, with your hand turned sideways. Some people find this exciting, while others find it inconvenient.

Once you get used to the Lift's unusual design, there are many good things about it. Like most Logitech mice, it has lots of features, such as extra buttons and easy profile switching. The mouse has a very long battery life and comes in different colors. Plus, it's cheaper than other high-end Logitech mice, available in price range of AED 229:00 to AED 299:00 in the UAE.

However, the Lift's software isn't perfect, and it might not completely solve wrist pain. 

Logitech Lift: Design

When you see the Logitech Lift, you'll notice it doesn't look like a regular mouse. It's what they call a "vertical mouse," like if you turned a regular mouse on its side. Most of its buttons are on the right side, and you hold it differently.

Vertical mice can help people with wrist problems like carpal tunnel because they don't stress the wrist as much. But Logitech doesn't claim the Lift is a medical solution.

Once you get used to its odd look, the Lift has all the features you'd expect from a fancy Logitech mouse. On the front, there are right and left-click buttons, a scroll wheel, and a button to adjust cursor speed. On the side, there are two thumb buttons you can program. Underneath, there's a button to switch profiles, a power button, and where you put the battery. The Lift comes in three colors: Pale Grey, Graphite, and Rose.

Most productivity tools are black, so it's nice to see some variety with the Lift's colors.

Logitech Lift: Features

The Logitech Lift stands out because of its unique design, unlike other productivity mice. It's not common to find small or medium-sized vertical mice, especially high-quality ones. If you're looking for a vertical mouse with lots of software features from a big brand, the Lift might be your only choice.

But the Lift has more to offer if you're willing to explore. It has a feature called "easy-switch" which lets you connect it to three different devices at once, like a desktop, laptop, and tablet. You can use Bluetooth or USB to connect, and switching between devices is as easy as pressing a button on the bottom of the mouse. It's a handy feature for people who use multiple machines.

Logitech Lift: Options and Software

Let's talk about the Logi Options+ software, which controls many of the extra features of the Lift mouse. It's still being tested, but it does everything the older Logi Options program does. You can adjust the sensitivity, although Options+ uses percentages instead of exact numbers, which might be easier for some people but not for others.

Options+ also lets you change what the buttons do. You can set them to do different things, like opening programs or moving through documents. But sometimes it doesn't work perfectly, especially with automatic profiles. Since it's still being tested, users might have to wait for fixes or do it themselves.

Lastly, Options+ has a feature called Flow, which lets you move smoothly between different computer screens and even move files. It's useful if you have a desktop and laptop next to each other, but it's not essential otherwise.

Logitech Lift: Performance

Despite its unique design, it is surprisingly easy to use and intuitive. After adjusting to holding their hand sideways, you could perform various tasks like browsing the web, writing documents, listening to music, and using communication tools without much difficulty. Overall, the Lift proves to be a capable productivity mouse with useful additional features.

However, you may encounter a similar issue with the Lift as you do with the MX Vertical: a single pressure point on their wrist. While the Lift doesn't create pressure on the bottom of the wrist, there is still discomfort due to the contact between the side of the wrist and the mouse pad. This discomfort persists over time, albeit in a different area than usual. Adjusting to holding the mouse differently didn't alleviate this discomfort, as it seemed to be a natural inclination.

Logitech Lift: Battery life

The battery in the Lift mouse has both good and bad sides. Logitech says it can last up to 24 months on one charge, but they don't explain the exact conditions for that. We found battery stayed at 100% after a few days of regular office use. If it loses about 1% per week, it matches what Logitech claims.

But having to change batteries in a fancy mouse feels old-fashioned and wasteful. Other mice in this price range, like Logitech's MX Anywhere 3, have rechargeable batteries.

Final Thoughts

The Logitech Lift mouse has a unique design that might not suit everyone. It has some software problems and it would have been better if it had a rechargeable battery. But overall, there's a lot to like about the Lift. Its cool design, great performance, and useful extra features make it a good choice for people who need to work a lot on their computers.
