Thanks for the update. MBP M1 - I would consider using it in combination with a magic trackpad.

[@arne_mh]

It doesn't support ir for mac because Apple only allows it's own products to have smooth scrolling

[@ieditedmyname289]

@@arne_mh MX Master 3s user on Mac here. I dunno if it's recent or not, i do have smooth scrolling.

[@RoiTrigerman]

@@ieditedmyname289 how did you accomplish that? I have the 3s and Mac and nothing I do makes scrolling nice and smooth as on a PC...

[@eli.alcaraz]

@@RoiTrigerman @arne_mh - I own both the Mx Master 3s and Logitech Lift, and MX Master 3S supports smooth scrolling, while Logitech Lift does not. When you open the Logi Options Plus app, the smooth scrolling settings don't show on the lift unlike when viewing the MX master

[@datube2686]

This review covers more about the common features that logitech mouses have rather than what the Lift specifically has different to others.

[@JWNRW59]

I have moved to the Lift left handed mouse and am amazed at how much relief I get to recurring tendonitis in my elbow. I took the Logitech size test and my hand should have been too large for the Lift, however, I find it fits better then expected - and it doesn't feel too small at all - it's the Goldilocks mouse for me for sure. The learning curve has been very short for me -- the only real challenge was to learn how to double click as the behaviour is a bit delayed when you hover over an icon. Extremely well thought out and the perfect solution for left-handed people in a right-handed biased world.

[@kyriakos098]

As a tall left handed person I can't thank you enough for your comment, I was so relieved I finally found a left-handed mouse from a known brand and got VERY annoyed when I saw their hand size suggestion for the MX VERTICAL for 19cm+ hand sizes, that only comes as right-handed.

[@open_ckt]

@@kyriakos098 us left-handed lives do matter after all

[@AshleySteel]

I LOVE my left-hand version of this mouse. I also probably got it 6 months ago and it is what I've wanted for so long.

[@jordancda]

His previous mouse hurt his wrist and had no added buttons. Hmmm. In other words: Magic Mouse.

[@6MonthsLater]

Yep! That was my previous mouse - Josh

[@Hamyhamster24]

lmao magic mouse is the worst design ever. cool features but thats how you ruin your wrist.

[@galinageorgieva8554]

I'm using a big Dell mouse, because my cheap ergonomic mouse broke and only in a day my wrist started to hurt too

[@KiraSlith]

The wrist breaker. There's a reason experienced IT Pros call them "crapple", they have no clue what they're doing when it comes to human interfaces. Also because they HATE "unauthorized" hardware repairs and software developers, but those entirely different topics.

[@yensteel]

Are you a mentalist? That was spot on!

[@violetinmay]

this is exactly the information i was looking for. thank you! store pages nowadays tend to leave so much unsaid.

[@bevorules77]

I've had the Lift since April 2022 (it's now Feb 2023). I formerly used trackballs (the MS Explorer and Logitech M570). However, I was still getting some pain in the wrist (with the Explorer) and the thumb (M570). I had tried a cheap vertical mouse from Amazon, but I decided to splurge and get this. My battery is at 60%, despite using it for work. It's holding up pretty well, but there's a shiny spot where my thumb rests on the plastic part under the side buttons. I wish they had made this into a true "MX Vertical Mini", but it's still the best thing out there right now. I'm using it with a PC desktop. I was having some range issues with the Bolt receiver, and I've actually had better luck with Bluetooth. I'm not using any other Bluetooth peripherals right now -- my speakers are hardwired and my headset uses its own receiver.

[@_skud]

thanks for the review :)

[@cauldron101]

Being a programmer for 30 years, made my hands prone to nerve compression in the carpal tunnel. This kind of mice saved my hand. And from those, the lift is the one of the highest value. I love it and it pairs along with my logi keyboard nicely.

[@vitorvieira8669]

I have a dout about Theo hands size. I have a small/medium hand, but In the Logitech site, my hand are big, because past 3 credit cards. Tell me please how big are your hands. Is The MX Vertical better?

[@DarthRogue777]

I’m assuming you have also tried using accessories like the carpio to help fight carpal tunnel? Do you find it the ergonomic mouse to be the better option?

[@cauldron101]

@@DarthRogue777 Absolutely. Resting your hand on the side without pressing the nerves down even on a soft surface works wonders.

[@viniciuscorreap]

Great review! I am definitely going to buy this one. Your Logitech keyboard also seems to be very good. What is the model?

[@markcollins6578]

generalisation - a person 5ft 7" and below use the Lift, if taller use the Logi Vertical - to do with hand size. If you noticed the video you will have seen the small finger sat inside his ring finger and dragged on the table/pad - this is wrong - the little finger should fit below the the ring finger not inside - hence the need to use the Logi Vertical

[@kyriakos098]

The MX vertical doesn't come for left handed 😢😢

[@philliplee9737]

Great review. Succinct and on point! One thing to check - would you know if the 'profile' switching can be done via assigning a button on the mouse, instead of having to press the designated button at the bottom of the mouse? For context, I am using the M720 that has the '1,2,3' selector on the top of the mouse, which i find more convenient when switching machines. (M720 ships with the MK850 keyboard combo set).

[@aznandyroo]

I have the Logitech - MX Vertical Advanced mouse. I love it so much. My wrist has much fewer problems than when I used my gaming mouse to work daily.

[@nelsonmatias]

Great review! What your hand size? I would like the left hand model but it's only available on the lift model and my hand size is 3 + 1/2 credit card size. Thanks!

[@mcerol92]

It's my first ergonomic mouse and I'm OK with that. Using for 2 weeks. The only thing I don't like is the back cover at the battery department. It feels insecure.

[@alen4945]

Is it precise? I've been using similar vertical mouse and they have universal problem that click actually moves the mouse, or you have to hold it firm with your thumb not to move - making thumb strain even more.

[@narutokunn]

that is a pretty good and logical point.. thanks for bringing it up

[@habeebatahseen6769]

How do i customize the buttons on the mouse?

[@CheapSushi]

Nice review. I've been getting a lot of pain in my right hand, since I use my PC heavily. I ended up buying both left and right hand versions.

[@star222333]

I have the Logitech MX Vertical, it's a great mouse I use it everyday for work. It doesn't take batteries, you plug it in to the phone charger type C.

[@jujujung999]

What is your hand size when measured with the credit card like Logitech recommended?

[@klaymoon1]

I like my Lift mouse too. It really does help my wrist. I think I will be keep using it until Logitech releases Lift Master mouse. Am I holding my breath for that? Nah.. not really. But, I wish they will do it.

[@hyleore]

it's weird that you don't have smooth scrolling - in Logi Options+ I can turn on smooth scrolling for my old pebble logitech mouse (I know because I don't like it and it was automatically switched on when I downloaded Logi Options+)

[@johnphillips2721]

Good video - Thanks for producing - I'm looking for ergonomic Mouse

[@mishakmusic]

can someone please confirm if simple keystrokes like CTRL/CMD+F can be assigned to side buttons? or at least single keys like Backspace, with Options+ and this mouse

[@Slada1]

You can use AutoHotKey if it is not possible to do with included software

[@inna_mos]

Maybe somebody could help me😅 I use Logitech Lift and would like to set the horizontal scroll only on the side buttons, without tying to the wheel. How can I do this?

[@ImPipkinrick]

Any double click issues?

[@jefferyfulton5622]

Literally just bought one (Mac version-white) I've never used an ergonomic mouse so it is pretty different, but I like it. I do wish it had USB-C option for charging, but that's really my only complaint so far, so we'll see if my battery life is comparable. Also noticed the Lift for Mac version doesn't come with the usb receiver when I looked inside mine lol

[@flarierza33]

How has it been? Do you like it? Or you went back to a normal mouse?

[@jefferyfulton5622]

@@flarierza33 still use it! It’s definitely best mouse I’ve ever had. Based on when I posted my comment, I think I had to replace the battery in about 6-8 months. But tbh, I never turn it off so that’s still pretty good

Dope review! I was using this mouse at a recording studio a week or so ago, and now I want it 😂. Not sure if I wanna pay $70 for it though...

[@mica4977]

When considering how a mouse is similar to shoes but for your hands (tools to help you traverse mouse pads instead of roads) I'd say it's worth thinking of it as an investment. Since it'll surely get hoooours of use if you spend a lot of time on the computer.

[@jaydp25]

Are the buttons silent when you press them?

[@martinr4637]

What about an ergonomic keyboard?

[@Chef_Pepper]

I have a small question that maybe someone can answer for me: Is it possible to assign the programmable keys so that you don't have to lift the mouse to change the connected devices? So the key under the mouse to the one next to the mouse wheel.

[@kyjo72682]

This is probably subjective but personally I can't stand the inertial smooth scrolling.. I need fast and precise movement, just scroll to where exactly I need as quickly as possible. Any additional delays and animations just irritate the hell out of me so the first thing I do on a fresh install is disable the smooth scrolling option in Chrome and Firefox.

[@bryans8656]

Thanks for the review. I've never been comfortable with vertical mice, probably because old habits die hard.

[@chajam]

regarding the abrupt scrolling, I guess it’s something they could solve with an update. for instance, I have a Logitech MX Master 3 mouse, and it does have an option called “smooth scrolling” in Options+ app

[@notreadonly]

I've come here as an MX Master 2 owner to write what you wrote. Also there is an extension for chrome (so chromium-based) browsers called smooth scrolling.

[@Cenot4ph]

mx master 3 has scrolling issue, I returned that thing immediately. Impossible low quality for such money to have these issues

[@isobelboyes8628]

What about adjusting the DPI - is that available in the Logitech + software?

[@andresquiroga3029]

Yes, it also has a dedicated button for that.

[@andresquiroga3029]

Mine started failing after 6 months. Right click sometimes work, sometimes it doesn't, you need to apply extra pressure to make it to work, so I end up doing double right click for every action, so annoying. Seems that the right switch is faulty ;(. UPDATE: After talking to Logitech, they sent me a new mouse, this one was still covered guaranty, they were so kind and supportive in the process, the mouse was sent from USA by FedEx, arrived in about a week.

[@Slada1]

That issue is sadly with all logitech mice, because they use bad quality switches. If you know how to solder and your mouse is out of warranty, you can replace them with better ones

[@andresquiroga3029]

@@Slada1 Yeah, already replaced it 😊

[@Cenot4ph]

all their mice have issues eventually, double click is very common one for example because the switches eventually get dirty and stop to work effectively

Does the buttons make any sound or it is really silent like their 30$ logi silent mouses? I am working many years with silent mouses and I would like to know, some people mention that it is silent, is that true?

[@ketorusindbad]

The back/forward buttons are not silent at all, the left and right click are though (well, the box says "whisper quiet").

[@michaelekstrom7698]

The only flaw (like on many others) is the thumb buttons. They're placed inline, where they should be placed vertically. Then you just have to lift or lower the thumb.

[@NemesorZahndrekh]

Why can’t they put the device switching button near the top where my thumb is… I don’t wanna have to turn the device over and use my other hand to switch between devices…

[@JustinThompson]

I did not like the buttons or feel of the Logitech Lift nearly as much as the Logitech MX Vertical. I do wish the horizontal Logitech Mice were a little easier to game with, they tend to move your cursor off target as you click furiously where other cheaper vertical mice I've had don't really have that problem. I'll swap over to a more normal gaming mouse for now untill something that has the quality of the Logitech and a more balanced design.

After 6 months I'm starting to get issues with the left-click registering. Disappointing. Really like the mouse. Doesn't seem to be a signal issue--it always works if I squeeze the click really hard. Opening it up to get at the micro switch looks like a massive pain.

[@JuanSB827]
