The Logitech Lift is a wireless office and productivity mouse with a vertical design intended to keep your hand, wrist, and arm in a more neutral position. It's Logitech's second vertical mouse design, following the release of the more premium Logitech MX Vertical in 2018. This mouse takes a slightly more casual approach, and while the overall shape is the same, it's been scaled down to be more suitable for small and medium-sized hands. It also comes in three different colors and a left-handed version. It connects wirelessly with Logitech's BOLT USB receiver or via Bluetooth and uses a single AA battery for power. The scroll wheel is noteworthy for using what Logitech calls its 'SmartWheel' technology, which automatically shifts from a more precise scrolling mode into a faster speed scroll mode when you begin to scroll quicker.
Our Verdict
The Logitech Lift mouse is great for office and multimedia use. It feels sturdy and has a very comfortable vertical design which means you hold the mouse in a 'handshake' position that's intended to keep your hand, wrist, and arm in a more neutral position. Its shape is well-suited to all but extra-large hands, and it connects wirelessly with a Logitech BOLT USB receiver or via Bluetooth. You can also pair it with up to three devices simultaneously. Unfortunately, while the scroll wheel has a free-scrolling mode, it lacks L/R tilt buttons.
- Comfortable vertical design is well-suited for all but extra-large-sized hands.
- Connects wirelessly with its USB receiver or via Bluetooth.
- Scroll wheel has a free-scrolling mode.
- Small number of programmable buttons.
- Mouse feet are fairly thin and don't glide as smoothly as more conventional mice.
- Bulky; isn't designed to be slipped into laptop bags or cases.
- Scroll wheel lacks L/R tilt buttons.
The Logitech Lift mouse is mediocre for FPS gaming as it isn't designed for this use. It's very heavy, and its maximum polling rate is extremely low, so your in-game cursor movements won't feel nearly as smooth as those made with a dedicated FPS gaming mouse. On the bright side, it feels sturdily built and has a comfortable right-handed shape well-suited for all but extra-large-sized hands.

The Logitech Lift mouse isn't designed for MMO gaming, and it has very few buttons compared to a dedicated MMO gaming mouse. The click latency is good and suitable for casual gaming, but its maximum polling rate is very low, so your cursor movements won't feel as smooth and responsive as a more gaming-focused option. On the other hand, this mouse feels well-built and has a comfortable, right-handed shape suitable for most hand sizes.

Differences Between Sizes And Variants
The Logitech Lift we bought and tested is the Graphite color variant. It's also available in an Off-White or Rose colorway.
There's a left-handed version of this mouse, which is sometimes referred to as the Logitech Lift Left. Additionally, there's a variant called the Logitech Lift for Mac. The only difference is that the Mac variant doesn't include a BOLT USB receiver in the box (though it is compatible with one).
| Name | Color Options | Includes BOLT receiver |
| Logitech Lift | Graphite, Off-White, Rose | Yes |
| Logitech Lift (left-handed) | Graphite | Yes |
| Logitech Lift for Mac | Off-White | No |
We expect our results to apply to all color options and variants, but there may be slight differences in weight and/or dimensions due to differences in the amount of post-consumer recycled plastic used between color variants. You can see the label for our unit here.
Popular Mouse Comparisons
The Logitech Lift is a wireless productivity mouse with a vertical design. As is the case with all vertical mice, they're often advertised as being more ergonomic. The evidence is inconclusive as to whether these designs reduce long-term muscle and joint strain or the risk of repetitive stress injuries. This mouse places your hand in a 'handshake' position that doesn't place as much stress on certain muscles and ligaments as a conventional mouse, so you may find it's a more comfortable fit for you. It's similar in many ways to the well-established Logitech MX Vertical, but it's a better fit for smaller-sized hands. This mouse also has a version for left-handed users, which is rare. Unfortunately, the material quality of the plastic feels like a downgrade on this mouse compared to the older MX Vertical, but this may be a product of Logitech's new use of recycled plastic.

The Logitech MX Vertical and the Logitech Lift are similar wireless vertical mice designed for office and productivity. The MX Vertical is better suited for larger-sized hands and recharges with an included USB-C cable. On the other hand, the Logitech Lift is better suited for smaller hand sizes and uses a single AA battery for power. The two mice have the same number of buttons, but the Lift has a button directly behind the scroll wheel, while the MX Vertical has a button on the top of the mouse.
The Logitech Lift and the Keychron M5 are wireless vertical mice. While the Logitech is designed primarily for productivity, the Keychron is designed for both productivity and gaming. As such, it delivers outstanding raw performance that's suitable for gaming in any genre or competitive level, while the Logitech is only suitable for casual gaming. The Logitech has a smaller overall shape, but both mice are well-suited for a fairly wide range of hand sizes. The Keychron has a second scroll wheel on its left side for horizontal scrolling.
The Logitech MX Master 4 and the Logitech Lift are both wireless productivity mice. The MX Master 4 has a more premium-feeling build quality with a pair of metal scroll wheels. The primary wheel can automatically switch between notched and free-scrolling modes. It also features a gesture button and a haptic button that you can customize in software. The Lift is less feature-rich but stands out for its vertical design, which you hold in a handshake-style orientation that can help reduce strain on your wrist, forearm, and shoulder. It's also available in a right- or left-handed version, while the MX Master 4 is only available as a right-handed model.
The Logitech MX Master 3 and the Logitech Lift are both wireless productivity mice, but they have very different ergonomic shapes. The Master 3 has the more conventional shape with a thumb rest on the left and recharges with an included USB-C cable. It also has one additional side button and a secondary, side-mounted scroll wheel for horizontal scrolling. Additionally, its primary scrolling wheel has L/R tilt buttons, which the Logitech Lift lacks. On the other hand, the Lift has a vertical shape and uses an AA battery for power.
