Logitech Lift: New Vertical Mouse Is Smaller and Yes, More Ergonomic – CNET [CNET]

One of the key differences between this model and the company’s first vertical mouse, the MX Vertical (released in 2018 for $100), is that the Lift is more compact and designed for people with small- to medium-size hands. Also, instead of using a rechargeable battery, it’s powered by a single AA battery that can last up to two years. Not using a rechargeable battery has allowed Logitech to make the Lift more affordable than its predecessor.
I’ve been using the Lift for the last week and like how it feels in hand compared with the MX Vertical, which also has a 57-degree vertical design but is slightly too big for my hand. I’ve been using Logitech’s MX Anywhere 3 mouse a lot with a mouse pad that has an integrated memory foam wrist support. With the Lift, it feels like you’re getting the wrist support without the extra bump on the mouse pad.

The vertical orientation of the Lift does take some getting used to and it’s not for everybody, but its smaller size and other design tweaks should help it appeal to a wider audience. While it will take me a few more weeks of testing to get a better gauge of the Lift’s ergonomic benefits and how well it works across multiple applications, my initial impression is that it’s one of the best vertical mice I’ve used.
