Description: In this article, I share my experience using an ergonomic
mouse for half a year.
# Introduction
In addition to my regular computer mouse, by the end of 2024 I bought a
Logitech Lift, a wireless ergonomic vertical mouse. This was the first
time I used such mouse, although I am regularly using a track ball, the
experience is really different.

I wanted to write this article to give some feedback about this device,
I enjoy it a lot and I can not really go back to a regular mouse now.
# Specifications
The mouse works with a single AA / LR6 battery that with a heavy daily
use for nine months is still reported as 30% charged.
The lift connects using Bluetooth, but Logitech provides a small USB
dongle for a perfect "out of the box" experience with any operating
system. The dongle can be stored within the mouse when travelling, or
when not using it. There is a small button on the bottom of the mouse
and 3 LED, this allows the mouse to be switched to different computers:
two in Bluetooth, one for the dongle. The first profile is always the
dongle. This allows you to connect the mouse to two different
computers with Bluetooth and be able to switch between them. This
works very well in practice.
About the buttons, nothing fancy with the standard two buttons, there
are extra "back / next" buttons easily available, one button to cycle
the laser resolution / sensitivity. The wheel is excellent, it is
precise and easy to use, but if you give it a good kick it will spin a
lot without being in free wheel like some other wheels, which is super
handy to scroll a huge chunk of text.
Due to the mouse design, it is not ambidextrous, but Logitech made a
version for left-handed users and right-hander users.
# Experience
The first week with the mouse was really weird, I was switching back
and forth with my old Steel Series mouse because I was less accurate
and not used to it.
After a week, I became used to holding it, moving it, and it was a real
joy and source of fun to go on the computer to use this mouse :)
Then, without noticing, I started using it exclusively. A few months
later, I realized I did not use the previous mouse for a long time and
gave it a try. This was a terrible experience, I was surprised that it
was fitting really poorly in my hand, then I disconnected it, and it
has been stored in a box since then.
It is hard to describe the feeling of this ergonomic mouse, the hand
position is really different, but it feels much more enjoyable that I
do not consider using a non-ergonomic mouse ever again.
I was reluctant to use a wireless mouse at first, but not having to
deal with the cable acting as a "spring" is really appreciable.
I can definitely play video games with this mouse, except nervous FPS
(maybe with some training?).
# Conclusion
The price tag could be a blocker for many, but at the same time it is
an essential peripheral when using your computer. If you feel some
pain in your hand when using your computer mouse, maybe give a try to
ergonomic mice.
