Logitech Lift Left Vertical Ergonomic Mouse, Left-Handed, Wireless, Bluetooth or Logi Bolt USB, Quiet clicks, 4 Buttons, Compatible with Windows/macOS/iPadOS, Laptop, PC - Graphite

Just received this mouse an hour ago and already my arm feels better. Other reviews mentioned a learning curve, but this mouse is simple to use and I feel more productive right away. If you are considering purchasing this mouse and are hesitating, don't....you will not be disappointed. I'll try to update this review as I get more experience, but so far it is great. Update after 1 month: still a great mouse, I have three other computers and I find myself avoiding the others so I can use this mouse...have to consider buying more of them. So far I have not discovered any downside to using this mouse and it is still significantly more comfortable than a standard mouse.

I bought this at the same time (Feb '25) as the Logitech Ergo K860 Wireless Ergonomic Keyboard - Split Keyboard, for which I have also written a review. I cannot say enough good things about both of these products. My neck, shoulders and back feel so much better than with my previous setup. At the time of purchase, there were a number of reviews saying these failed fairly quickly. This has not been my experience and I am not very conscientious about cleaning it. After almost a year of heavy use (8-10 hrs a day), the batteries are at 30% which I don't think I can complain about. These products are not cheap, but for me they have been worth every penny and I cannot see myself going back. I'd buy them again in a heartbeat.

For reference my hand 18 cm measured from the first crease after your palm to the end of my middle finger. I flexed my wrist and the first crease I used as my end point for my palm. My arms are at a 90 degree angle, and my wrist is neutral (not flexed up or down) due to my wrist rest keeping my wrist straight. Most of my arm weight is on my memory foam wrist rest. My review is based on my personal hand size Update: After a month I have not noticed any staining on my white lift. But I am also a pretty hygienic person and I never touch my mouse if I touched food. Wrist pain: This might be because I don't have arm rests so the weight of my arm is resting on the wrist wrest, but I had some minor wrist pains within an hour or so. It didn't really feel like a muscle or bone kind of pain, but a nerve/soft tissue pain. When I didn't use a wrist rest, the weight was mostly the side of my hand, in particular the bony part near the wrist. That part rubbed when moving the mouse around if you don't lift your arm. Edit: After some adjustment I no longer get any wrist pain, even when gaming. Palm grip: I think palm grip would be unusable for this mouse. My fingers extend 0.5-1 cm after the end of the mouse (where the left and right buttons start curving). When clicking the mouse it almost feels like im clicking with my finger joint instead of my fingertip. With a relaxed thumb (thumb slightly curved and only fingertip touching mouse) it is pretty easy to click the side buttons. Side of thumb can press upper button, thumb joint can press lower button. With the entire thumb fully in contact with the mouse, the upper button is a bit awkward to press but possible, and the lower button is the same as relaxed thumb position. Awkward to use the scroll wheel since you have to curve your fingers quite a bit to get your finger tip on the scroll wheel but still usable. Also because of the hand angle, I found it much more comfortable using my middle finger to use the scroll wheel instead of my pointer finger that I use normally. Fingertip grip: Personally I found it feeling different, but perfect. My finger length is perfect so my fingers land around or slightly below where the left and right mouse button start to curve. When I click, the direction of the force from my finger is more diagonally down and to the left. If my fingers were a bit shorter, it the force would be to the left. I found this diagonally force feels more natural, kind of like squeezing a trigger (kinda) instead of just squeezing a mouse. It is hard to describe. In this grip, the only part of my fingers (including my thumb) that are touching the mouse are my fingertips. My palm is resting on the mouse. Thumb characteristics is same as palm grip. Scroll wheel characteristics same as palm grim. Claw grip: Works fine, only problem is pushing lower thumb button is a bit awkward since you kind have to shift your entire thumb back but it is still possible. Easy to use scroll wheel since your fingertips end right next to it Compared to g305: The Lift is much more comfortable and natural. I got used to the Lift very quickly. In comparison, the g305 felt like a petite mouse. The g305 felt hollow, like there was nothing supporting my palm. I didn't have any issues with the mouse shifting when clicking it on my mouse pad. Even on a smooth surface with no mouse pad it would happen rarely. Scroll wheel: Excellent combination of a normal scroll wheel and a free one. I can scroll down all the way to the end of reddit threads and spotify playlists in one scroll. Going back up takes a few scrolls however since I apply less force. Smooth scroll supplied by Logitech Options+ is also nice. Makes it feel like scrolling has inertia. There a lot of very nice features in Logitech Options+ like Logitech Flow

This ergonomic mouse feels very comfortable to use, especially during long work sessions. The shape naturally supports your hand and reduces strain. If you deal with wrist discomfort or carpal tunnel pain, this can make a noticeable difference. It’s responsive, smooth, and a great upgrade for anyone working long hours on the computer.

The quality seems good. It looks great and feels great in my hand. I think it will definitely help with preventing wrist pain for the future. I paired it with a wrist rest as well. Super easy to set up, I think it’s a good value for your money. It’s in the mid-range for an ergonomic mouse. I’ve always found Logitech items to be good quality and functional. I have no problem with accuracy when moving the mouse and the connectivity has zero delay. I appreciate that there are buttons on the side as well for my thumb. I tend to use these a lot. The main left and right mouse buttons are super quiet. It’s also really cool that you can pair it to up to three devices and you can easily switch between them. The bottom plate where you put the battery in (battery was included!) is magnetic and I love it.

Updated review, 1 year later: This is still my favorite mouse. I only thought to come and update the review because I wanted to see when I'd purchased it since my battery just died. My original battery. I use this mouse every single day, generally for several hours every night, but up to like 12 hours on the weekends sometimes (*sigh* gaming). For one AA battery to have lasted through that for almost a year is absolutely bonkers. Also, for one mouse to be so comfortable for such extended periods of use is incredible. I will say that keeping the grippy part clean is kind of a chore. I haven't figured out the best way to clean that off, and it's strange that it gets so dirty because I mostly do not touch anything on my desk unless my hands are clean. I'm a keyboard fanatic and don't want to potentially dirty or discolor my keyboard keys, so I'm meticulous about this, but I guess there's just no getting around that skin oils and just...skin will eventually get on everything you touch, if you touch it long enough. Minor cleaning issues aside, if I could use one mouse for the rest of my life, it would probably be this one. ------------------------------------------------------- I've only had this mouse for a few days, but I'm shocked at how quickly it's become my favorite. Previously, I was using a vintage Logitech MX518, which, along with the MX510, had been my favorite mouse for 20 years. I was devastated when they discontinued it because it meant that I would have to find a new mouse. I tried several and couldn't find one that fit my hand quite the same way. I have tiny hands, so most mice feel too big in my hand, and I'm extremely particular about having a forward and back thumb button for browser navigation. I'd tried ergo vertical mice before and found that the slick material of most of them made the mice feel like they were going to slip out of my hands, so I had to grip extra hard to keep them from shooting out of my grip and I was getting hand cramps, so I figured maybe they just weren't for me. I settled on a standard, lightweight keychron mouse for work, but it's most certainly not my favorite, and for the price paid, feels extraordinarily cheap and poorly made. It gets the job done, but there's no finesse, and it's so lightweight that I needed to add grip tape to it in order to not have it slide out of my hand. On a whim, I decided to try this mouse because I had seen a review that said it was good for smaller hands, and I've been struggling with wrist pain after becoming hopelessly addicted to Stardew Valley, so I needed to give an ergonomic mouse another try. Well color me surprised! This is one of the most comfortable mice I've ever used. After an initial adjustment period of about a day of light to moderate use, I was completely sold. It's heavy and small enough to not feel like it's going to slide away from me, and offers built in grip at the back end of the mouse where your palm and proximal fingers sit. The thumb navigation buttons are in the PERFECT place for my short, puny little thumb and I can easily use the scroll wheel with either my index or middle fingers equally as well. The left and right click buttons are almost silent, which is a feature I don't care much about since I use fairly poppy, marbly, "thocky" mechanical keyboards both at home and at work, but it's a nice touch for anyone with sound sensitivities. The thumb navigation buttons are both fairly loud though, so I feel like that sort of negates any quietness from the left and right buttons. Overall, I just can't say enough good things about this mouse. People have mentioned that the scroll wheel button is difficult to press, and although that's not a function I use all that frequently, I haven't noticed that it's any tougher to depress than any of the other buttons. I like this one so much that I'm already contemplating replacing the brand new keychron at work! If you have small hands, hate mice that are too light, have buttons that are too far away from your fingers to easily press, and enjoy the feel of a little bit of grippiness to your mouse, this is absolutely the best.

Really crappy auto driver install. Locked up my USB ports for my usb keyboard, usb mouse, all usb ports in fact. Had to reboot multiple times with an old style 5pin keyboard since the software screwed up my usb ports. All of them. Lucky I have a motherboard with an old style keyboard port. A reboot of W11 in safe mode, ripped out auto-installed software, registry keys and rebooted to regain control of my USB ports. I do not know what went wrong. Alls I know is Logitech loaded something, it locked up my USB ports and I had to rip everything Logitech out to get control again. I downloaded the software, installed it and it worked fine. I've had no problems since. I'm an old lefty and as such am ambidextrous in most areas, since there just was not left handed oriented items readily available. You had to have left handed stuff made so you learned to do things right handed. I've developed carpal tunnel in both elbows and had purchased a couple of vertical mice, one left and one right. I took the left into work and was looking for a replacement. My other two were around $30 ea. I liked the right handed vertical mouse (Anker). They do not make a left handed version. The left handed mouse is ok, not as good as the Anker. I decided to go above my spend tolerance and get the Logi after reading many reviews. It has not disappointed me. The auto-install sucked. Never letting that happen again. It is a nice smooth mouse. Fine movements that are easily adjustable. The hand position is excellent. I can use this all day without switching to the right because of elbow pain. If you have the pain, you know what I am talking about when it flares. It takes some getting used to the subtlety of the clicks when coming from lower cost mice. Soft and gently like a newborn's .... One of my big criteria for a vertical mouse is a landing area for the outer two fingers (pinky and next to pinky for finger orientation challenged). When you go to a vertical mouse, it takes some adjustment to moving the mouse since you can't really press down with your palm and inside two fingers (the ones next to the outside two fingers). It is helpful to be able to use the two outer fingers and thumb to aid in moving the mouse. You have to experience a vertical mouse to understand. The right handed only Anker goes from an inch to a half inch in the length of my pinky below the buttons on the side. This is a really nice landing area for the outside fingers to assist moving the mouse around. You can squeeze a little and the mouse glides. The Logi mouse is a wee shorter than the Anker and the area below the buttons in a mostly straight 3/4". Both mice curve quickly down to the inside below this area. I was used to a vertical mouse by the time I purchased the Logi and I have no issues with the pinky dragging the table and the finger next to pinky resting on the landing. I move the mouse with no problems. It is the subtlety of how one interacts with these style of mice. The big plus, takes a long time before mouse use causes pain flareups. And this isn't just a pain and done. Depending on how one ignores the pain, often determines how many days life sucks. The Logi mouse minimizes the flare ups. I'm thinking of taking the Anker in and getting a right handed Logi for home. I like the Anker, I'm frugal and highly recommend it for getting your feet wet. I love the Logi (auto-install sucks) and will probably ignore my frugal tendencies and get a right handed one since I don't switch hands as frequently with the Logi in the mix. Don't have to suffer auto-install either.

This plus an ergo mouse pad has eased my carpel tunnel symptoms somewhat. Excellent quality, silent clicking and fast response. Warning- there is a learning curve for an ergo mouse but you will reap the rewards if you stick with it.
