The Logitech Lift landed on my desk last week. And though I invested in a better office chair, a bigger monitor and a Microsoft split ergonomic keyboard, it did not occur to me to upgrade my mouse as well.

This led to some extremely poor posture and a deep look into better ergonomics - as well as some physical therapy. But during the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, when my husband took over the one home office in our apartment (he takes more calls than me and needed the privacy) I found myself sequestered at the dining room table. I confess, I’ve never used a vertical mouse before. The Lift eschews the MX Vertical’s USB-C charging for a single AA battery and is available in a left-hand model, though they are both validated by US Ergonomics and come with a back-friendly AGR seal of approval.īut is the 57-degree vertical design worth the equally steep $70 price tag? Here are our thoughts after incorporating the Logitech Lift into our home office space for a week. Though we chose the Logitech MX Master 3 as our pick for best ergonomic mouse, which offers a more conventional shape, we named Logitech’s larger, pricier, more full-featured MX Vertical mouse as a runner-up. Specifically aimed at small to medium-sized hands, it boasts a compact build, rubber grip, thumb rest and an odd, yet strangely simple to master vertical construction, which helped give it its name. The latest addition to the company’s Ergo line, which includes the Logitech Ergo K860, our pick for best ergonomic keyboard, the unique-looking Lift was designed to put less stress on everything from shoulders, back and forearms to the more-obvious wrists. Which is why, as one of those home employed soldiers, I was psyched to try Logitech’s new Lift Vertical Ergonomic Mouse - which is available now in three colors: off-white, graphite and rose. Yet now it is being realistically pondered by a veritable WFH army. Just a few short years ago, a fully realized ergonomic home office was generally the realm of devout freelancers and the less-common long-distance virtual employee.
