The battery on the Lift is a bit of a double-edged sword. Logitech advertises that the Lift can last up to 24 months on a single charge, although the company doesn't specify exactly what conditions would facilitate that. I can say that in my own testing, the charge didn't drop below 100% after a few days of sustained office use. Supposing the mouse loses about 1% of charge per week, that would indeed put it in line with Logitech's estimate.

LIFT is supported by Logitech Options+. Logi Options+ Beta is a next-gen app that lets you manage and customize your supported mice and keyboards — so they all seamlessly work towards your goals. Combining the best features of Options with a brand new easy-to-use interface, Options+ Beta is designed to transform your daily tasks. Line-by-line (ratchet) scroll — Get line-by-line precision when you need to focus on the details. Scroll slowly, you will feel each step on the wheel. Ideal for reading or precise navigation of items and lists.With Logitech Options you will receive an on-screen notification when switching between cursor speed 1 and cursor speed 2.

The Lift does have a few other interesting features if you're willing to do some legwork, however. First and foremost, there's the "easy-switch" functionality, which is present on most of Logitech's premium productivity mice. You can connect the Lift with up to three different devices simultaneously — a desktop, a laptop and a tablet, for example. The device offers both Bluetooth and USB wireless functionality, so this is relatively easy to do. Then, when you want to switch among devices, you simply press a button on the bottom of the mouse. It's a smart, effortless feature, and it has tangible benefits for users with multiple machines. Logitech Lift review: Logi Options+ software Logitech software lets you assign other useful functions to the buttons, including undo/redo, OS navigation, volume up/down, and more. With Logitech Flow, you can use the mouse cursor to move from one computer to the next. You can even copy and paste between computers, and if you have a compatible Logitech keyboard, the keyboard will follow the mouse and switch computers at the same time. Using it properly lets your arm rest in a way that doesn’t put pressure on the joints. Since we work long hours, it isn’t uncommon for us to experience arm and shoulder pain at the end of the day. Ergonomics are, therefore, a factor in our day-to-day life. And, we found that the Logitech Lift made a lot of difference. On the other hand, having to replace batteries in a premium mouse feels a little bit outdated and wasteful. Many mice in this price range, including Logitech's own MX Anywhere 3, offer rechargeable batteries. Logitech Lift review: Verdict

That said, the connectivity on the Lift is expansive for a wireless mouse in this price range. You may not be able to connect it to a device with a physical cable, but you can connect via Bluetooth or 2.4GHz wireless, both of which have a range of 10m. You can even connect the Lift to three devices simultaneously. NOTE: The horizontal scroll is ON by default. You can customize this feature in the Point & Scroll tab in Logitech software. While the Logitech Lift is generally a pleasure to use, it does take some getting used to. There’s a bit of a learning curve here, especially if you haven't used vertical mice before. LIFT vertical mouse is designed to help you work better. The vertical design lifts your hand, wrist, and forearm up into a more natural posture through a unique 57-degree vertical angle. Logi Options+ has a ton of other helpful features on hand too. Among those is the ability to remap all six buttons to a plethora of useful actions, with plenty of program-specific options on hand. For instance, we’re fans of being able to mute our mic during a video call with just a button press, and this is something you can map to one of the Lift’s buttons. You can also adjust the DPI settings here in increments of 100, ranging from 400 to 4000 DPI.
