Our verdict

The Logitech Lift is a vertical mouse: instead of lying flat, it is tilted at 57 degrees, so your hand rests closer to a handshake position. Logitech designed it for small and medium hands, and both RTINGS and TechGearLab found it comfortable in that range. TechGearLab needed a few days to adjust to the grip. It connects by Bluetooth or the included Logi Bolt USB receiver and can switch between three devices. It runs on one AA battery, which Logitech claims lasts up to two years. Its UK RRP is £59.99. We have not used it ourselves, and a comfortable shape is not a medical treatment.

Buy it if

  • You have small or medium hands and want to try a different grip
  • You work in a shared room where loud clicks are a nuisance
  • You regularly switch between two or three computers

Skip it if

  • You need a flat mouse that slips easily into a bag
  • You have large hands, or need a left-handed mouse
  • Fast competitive gaming is your priority

Everyday use

Email and documents in a shared room

Quiet clicks mean you can work through an inbox without disturbing someone nearby.

Switching between work and personal laptops

Pair it with up to three devices and switch between them, instead of pairing it again each time or keeping two mice on the desk.

Long spreadsheets

The SmartWheel adjusts how the wheel scrolls, which helps when moving through long documents. There is no sideways tilt, so wide spreadsheets need another way to scroll left and right.

The details, in plain English

Will it fit your hand?

The Lift tilts at 57 degrees, so your hand sits on its side rather than flat. Logitech designed it for small and medium hands. RTINGS, which bought and tested a right-handed Graphite unit, found it comfortable for that size but warns that larger hands may feel cramped. TechGearLab needed a few days to get used to the grip. Fit is personal, which is why buying from a retailer with a clear return policy makes sense. The standard Lift is right-handed only; left-handers need the Lift Left.

Clicking, scrolling and tracking

RTINGS found the clicks quiet and the build sturdy. TechGearLab reported accurate tracking for both large and small movements. It did not work on clear glass in their testing, though it did on a polished white surface, so a glass desk needs a mouse mat. RTINGS found the thin feet glide less smoothly than some mice, and the wheel lacks a physical left-right tilt. Logitech’s SmartWheel changes how the wheel scrolls; you can customise buttons in the Logi Options+ software.

Connecting to your computers

You can connect by Bluetooth or by the Logi Bolt USB receiver included in the box, and switch between up to three devices. Basic pointing and clicking work without extra software. Logi Options+ adds customisation on supported systems, but if it is a work computer, check you are allowed to install software on it. If your laptop only has USB-C ports, check you can plug in the receiver, or use Bluetooth instead.

Battery and running costs

The Lift uses a single AA battery, included in the Currys package. Logitech claims up to two years of use, but that depends on how much you use it, and no review we used ran a two-year test. Replacement AA batteries are the only running cost we found; there is no subscription. If you would rather recharge by USB-C, RTINGS points to the larger MX Vertical, though that is designed for bigger hands.

Comfort is not a cure

Reviewers found the Lift comfortable, but comfort impressions do not show that a mouse prevents or treats repetitive strain injury, carpal tunnel syndrome or wrist pain. TechGearLab describes eight programmable buttons, but that counts software-assignable functions, not eight separate physical buttons.

Strengths and drawbacks

What it does well

  • A 57-degree vertical shape gives small and medium hands a more upright, handshake-style grip
  • Quiet clicks, useful in a shared room or open-plan office
  • Switches between up to three devices, by Bluetooth or the included Logi Bolt receiver
  • Runs on one AA battery, which Logitech claims lasts up to two years

What to watch out for

  • Large hands may feel cramped; RTINGS suggests the MX Vertical instead
  • Tall and about 130g, so awkward to carry in a laptop bag
  • The grip takes a few days to get used to
  • No left-right tilt on the scroll wheel, and not suited to fast gaming

RTINGS points people with larger hands to the Logitech MX Vertical, which recharges by USB-C instead of using an AA battery. Left-handed buyers need the separate Lift Left, so check its own price and stock. If portability and familiarity matter more than grip, a conventional low-profile mouse remains a sensible choice. We have not tested these alternatives side by side.

Where our findings come from

This review is based on Logitech’s UK product page and launch announcement, the Currys listing, and hands-on reviews by RTINGS (a purchased right-handed Graphite unit, page updated September 2026) and TechGearLab (Emily Pennington and Austin Palmer, August 2025). Their observations are credited to them in the text. RTINGS’ numerical results were not accessible, so we have not quoted scores. We have no first-hand evidence of comfort, battery life, wireless range or pain relief. Prices were checked on 4 and 5 October 2026.
