Logitech Lift Mouse in rose pink

Ergonomic mice are everywhere now, but the Logitech Lift is one of the more approachable ones, falling somewhere between casual gear and specialty equipment.

Sitting at your desk for hours on end every day isn't great for your health — but you didn't need a doctor to tell you that. Odds are, you probably already know when you've done it a bit too much.

So maybe you've invested in a better chair, a standing desk, or even an under-the-desk treadmill. While all of these are great, they don't address one of the biggest issues of extended computer use: repetitive stress.

A normal computer mouse requires you to sit with your forearm pronated — that is to say, palm-down. This is an unnatural position that can squeeze the nerves in your wrist and cause a myriad of problems, including carpal tunnel.

Logitech has a solution for that: Lift. Lift is a vertical orientation mouse designed to put your hand in a more natural position. 

Logitech Lift mouse review: Design and comfort

Lift puts your hand at a 57-degree angle; Logitech calls this the "natural handshake position." It feels strange at first, but it really does help with wrist pressure.

When I first started using it, my arm was exhausted by the end of the day. After all, I've been using standard mice for about 34 years now.

After two weeks, though, I noticed my hand and wrist were less tired overall. And honestly, my arm was only really tired for the first few days. 

The soft grip feels great; I was surprised by how much I actually noticed a difference. I do wonder how it will hold up against dirt and oil over time.

I have another Logitech mouse that features the same soft grip on the sides. It definitely picks up anything that is on your hands.

I can't imagine that it will clean up very well. If that's the case, you may want to opt for the graphite color option.

It's also important to note that the mouse is designed only for small to medium hands. If you've got larger hands, I could see this being frustrating — or potentially even painful — to use.

Logitech Lift mouse review: Buttons and customization

Lift has six buttons, including the usual clicks and scroll wheel. The extra buttons, which Logitech calls "forward and back" buttons, are reachable by thumb.

What makes this stand out is customization through the Logi Options+ app. You can change button functions globally or even tailor them per app.

That is probably the second-best feature of Lift. The first, obviously, is the fact that it's ergonomically designed.

I liked mapping specific actions depending on the software I was in. It's a small touch, sure, but it is honestly one that I grew to love while I was testing Lift.

Scrolling is also great, smooth, and precise. I generally like the way Logitech's scroll wheels work anyway; they always feel lightly tactile and have a decent speed.

Logitech Lift mouse review: Connectivity and compatibility

Lift connects either by Bluetooth or the included Logi Bolt USB receiver. I was extremely thankful that a dongle was in the box, even if it's USB-A only.

That does mean MacBook users will need an adapter if they don't already have one. Bluetooth is an option, too, but I prefer the stability of a dongle — maybe I'm old like that.

You can pair Lift with up to three devices and switch between them with a button press. It works, though Mac users already have Universal Control, which accomplishes basically the same thing.

The wireless range is solid, up to 30 feet or so. That's more than enough for typical use.

Logitech Lift mouse review: Size and portability

This is not a travel mouse. It's extremely bulky, and you'll struggle to fit it comfortably in a laptop bag.

On the desk, it takes up more space than a standard mouse. That may be an issue for smaller setups or tightly packed workstations.

Logitech Lift Mouse review: this is not a small mouse by any stretch

It also isn't a fast mouse. Gamers or anyone with demanding precision workflows will likely find it too sluggish.

For everyday work, though, it's perfectly adequate. I found it much better than relying on my MacBook Air's trackpad.

Logitech Lift mouse review: Power and battery

Lift runs on a single AA battery, which Logitech claims can last up to two years. Personally, I prefer removable batteries, though I know others prefer rechargeables.

Logitech Lift Mouse review: accessing the battery compartment and dongle

You won't be charging this mouse constantly, which is nice. Just keep a spare AA around, and you'll never run into downtime.

Logitech Lift mouse review: Color options and handedness

I tested the Rose pink version, and I loved it. It's fun without looking childish, and it brightened up my desk.

The mouse is also available in off-white and graphite. Left-handed users get a version too, though unfortunately not in Rose pink.

It's a thoughtful lineup, but it does feel slightly uneven depending on your handedness and color preference.

Logitech Lift mouse review: Approachable, comfortable, albeit not so portable

The Logitech Lift is a solid ergonomic mouse with thoughtful features. It takes a few days to adjust, but the payoff is less hand fatigue.

It's not ideal for travel, gaming, or large hands. But for office work and home setups, it's comfortable, customizable, and reliable.

At around $75, it's an investment, but not an unreasonable one once you consider how much you use a mouse. It's a practical buy if comfort is a priority.
