Logitech today announced its wireless vertical mouse called Lift, priced at $69.99 in multiple colors along with both right and left-hand options. It has a vertically sloped design that positions your hand at a 57-degree angle for good ergonomics. In addition, the strain on your wrist reduces a lot when you use it compared to the traditional mouse, as you will be holding the mouse like you are shaking hands with someone.
The Lift does not have all features as MX vertical is priced at $99.99, but it can be a good option if you do not want to spend much. It does not have USB –C charging; instead, it runs on a single AA battery that can last up to two years, as claimed by Logitech.
The Lift ditched the graceful design of the MX vertical with something more simple and playful. It has a rubber grip to remain snug to your palm, and maximum key functionality is present. The mouse consists of two primary buttons: a scroll wheel allowing a smooth and quiet scrolling, two thumb buttons, and a DPI switching button. In the bottom part, there is one button that toggles in between one of three devices you can connect your Lift to.
This mouse supports the Logitech flow, which is the company’s unique feature allowing the mouse for getting used simultaneously on various computers even though they do run on the same OS. You will require Logi options along with an app running on both of the computers, after which the cursor can travel in between two PC. The app can also be used for copy-pasting files between two machines.
Logitech takes in its new Bolt USB receiver with the Lift so that you can connect to the OC having a USB-A port quickly. When compared with the previously combined receiver, this will boast more security. Or you can use its Bluetooth function, which does not need a receiver. If you want to use this vertical mouse, the transition will not be that hard. Other than accidentally knocking your hand into the Life, the learning curve is not that bad, as this mouse contains the same button layout as some mouse you might be accustomed to. If you are thinking about a vertical mouse, then Life can be a good option for starting since its price is less than $100.
