Logitech Lift: A smaller vertical wireless mouse for the masses

Ergonomic equipment can be expensive. I’ve cycled through many mice over the years—trackpads, trackballs, roller mice, vertical mice—with the price per mouse hitting over $100 for the more specialized gear. If you don’t work for a company that pays for it, taking care of your body costs a pretty penny.

The thing about ergonomic peripherals, though, is that everyone can benefit from it. Putting your body in a neutral position can save you from the kind of pain that forces you to seek out the expensive gear. It’s not just for people like me who must use funny-looking mice and keyboards (and regularly rotate through different styles, to boot) to keep from hurting.

So when Logitech announced the Lift, a $70 vertical mouse made for small-to-medium hands (with a left-hand variation available!), I was, but they’re sized for people with larger hands. They also often don’t provide enough tilt to get your hand and elbow in a properly neutral position, nor do they provide a left-hand variant. So far, the best options for a compact wireless vertical mouse have been the Evoluent VerticalMouse 4 Small Wireless () or VerticalMouse D Small Wireless ().
