Good scroll wheel, coming from g305, 18cm hand

For reference my hand 18 cm measured from the first crease after your palm to the end of my middle finger. I flexed my wrist and the first crease I used as my end point for my palm. My arms are at a 90 degree angle, and my wrist is neutral (not flexed up or down) due to my wrist rest keeping my wrist straight. Most of my arm weight is on my memory foam wrist rest. My review is based on my personal hand size 1 month update: I have not noticed any staining on my white lift. But I am also a pretty hygienic person and I never touch my mouse if I touched food. 1 year update: Still have not noticed any staining. I do wipe it with a baby wipe maybe once every 1-2 weeks though. One thing to note is that in order to use shortcuts you need to have the Logitech Options+ software installed. The shortcuts/settings you program to you buttons aren't saved on the mouse. Also annoying since the software takes a substantial amount of CPU usage (why????). Wrist pain: This might be because I don't have arm rests so the weight of my arm is resting on the wrist wrest, but I had some minor wrist pains within an hour or so. It didn't really feel like a muscle or bone kind of pain, but a nerve/soft tissue pain. When I didn't use a wrist rest, the weight was mostly the side of my hand, in particular the bony part near the wrist. That part rubbed when moving the mouse around if you don't lift your arm. Edit: After some adjustment I no longer get any wrist pain, even when gaming. Palm grip: I think palm grip would be unusable for this mouse. My fingers extend 0.5-1 cm after the end of the mouse (where the left and right buttons start curving). When clicking the mouse it almost feels like im clicking with my finger joint instead of my fingertip. With a relaxed thumb (thumb slightly curved and only fingertip touching mouse) it is pretty easy to click the side buttons. Side of thumb can press upper button, thumb joint can press lower button. With the entire thumb fully in contact with the mouse, the upper button is a bit awkward to press but possible, and the lower button is the same as relaxed thumb position. Awkward to use the scroll wheel since you have to curve your fingers quite a bit to get your finger tip on the scroll wheel but still usable. Also because of the hand angle, I found it much more comfortable using my middle finger to use the scroll wheel instead of my pointer finger that I use normally. Fingertip grip: Personally I found it feeling different, but perfect. My finger length is perfect so my fingers land around or slightly below where the left and right mouse button start to curve. When I click, the direction of the force from my finger is more diagonally down and to the left. If my fingers were a bit shorter, it the force would be to the left. I found this diagonally force feels more natural, kind of like squeezing a trigger (kinda) instead of just squeezing a mouse. It is hard to describe. In this grip, the only part of my fingers (including my thumb) that are touching the mouse are my fingertips. My palm is resting on the mouse. Thumb characteristics is same as palm grip. Scroll wheel characteristics same as palm grim. Claw grip: Works fine, only problem is pushing lower thumb button is a bit awkward since you kind have to shift your entire thumb back but it is still possible. Easy to use scroll wheel since your fingertips end right next to it Compared to g305: The Lift is much more comfortable and natural. I got used to the Lift very quickly. In comparison, the g305 felt like a petite mouse. The g305 felt hollow, like there was nothing supporting my palm. I didn't have any issues with the mouse shifting when clicking it on my mouse pad. Even on a smooth surface with no mouse pad it would happen rarely. Scroll wheel: Excellent combination of a normal scroll wheel and a free one. I can scroll down all the way to the end of reddit threads and spotify playlists in one scroll. Going back up takes a few scrolls however since I apply less force. Smooth scroll supplied by Logitech Options+ is also nice. Makes it feel like scrolling has inertia. There a lot of very nice features in Logitech Options+ like Logitech Flow

Initial thoughts

Updated review, 1 year later: This is still my favorite mouse. I only thought to come and update the review because I wanted to see when I'd purchased it since my battery just died. My original battery. I use this mouse every single day, generally for several hours every night, but up to like 12 hours on the weekends sometimes (*sigh* gaming). For one AA battery to have lasted through that for almost a year is absolutely bonkers. Also, for one mouse to be so comfortable for such extended periods of use is incredible. I will say that keeping the grippy part clean is kind of a chore. I haven't figured out the best way to clean that off, and it's strange that it gets so dirty because I mostly do not touch anything on my desk unless my hands are clean. I'm a keyboard fanatic and don't want to potentially dirty or discolor my keyboard keys, so I'm meticulous about this, but I guess there's just no getting around that skin oils and just...skin will eventually get on everything you touch, if you touch it long enough. Minor cleaning issues aside, if I could use one mouse for the rest of my life, it would probably be this one. ------------------------------------------------------- I've only had this mouse for a few days, but I'm shocked at how quickly it's become my favorite. Previously, I was using a vintage Logitech MX518, which, along with the MX510, had been my favorite mouse for 20 years. I was devastated when they discontinued it because it meant that I would have to find a new mouse. I tried several and couldn't find one that fit my hand quite the same way. I have tiny hands, so most mice feel too big in my hand, and I'm extremely particular about having a forward and back thumb button for browser navigation. I'd tried ergo vertical mice before and found that the slick material of most of them made the mice feel like they were going to slip out of my hands, so I had to grip extra hard to keep them from shooting out of my grip and I was getting hand cramps, so I figured maybe they just weren't for me. I settled on a standard, lightweight keychron mouse for work, but it's most certainly not my favorite, and for the price paid, feels extraordinarily cheap and poorly made. It gets the job done, but there's no finesse, and it's so lightweight that I needed to add grip tape to it in order to not have it slide out of my hand. On a whim, I decided to try this mouse because I had seen a review that said it was good for smaller hands, and I've been struggling with wrist pain after becoming hopelessly addicted to Stardew Valley, so I needed to give an ergonomic mouse another try. Well color me surprised! This is one of the most comfortable mice I've ever used. After an initial adjustment period of about a day of light to moderate use, I was completely sold. It's heavy and small enough to not feel like it's going to slide away from me, and offers built in grip at the back end of the mouse where your palm and proximal fingers sit. The thumb navigation buttons are in the PERFECT place for my short, puny little thumb and I can easily use the scroll wheel with either my index or middle fingers equally as well. The left and right click buttons are almost silent, which is a feature I don't care much about since I use fairly poppy, marbly, "thocky" mechanical keyboards both at home and at work, but it's a nice touch for anyone with sound sensitivities. The thumb navigation buttons are both fairly loud though, so I feel like that sort of negates any quietness from the left and right buttons. Overall, I just can't say enough good things about this mouse. People have mentioned that the scroll wheel button is difficult to press, and although that's not a function I use all that frequently, I haven't noticed that it's any tougher to depress than any of the other buttons. I like this one so much that I'm already contemplating replacing the brand new keychron at work! If you have small hands, hate mice that are too light, have buttons that are too far away from your fingers to easily press, and enjoy the feel of a little bit of grippiness to your mouse, this is absolutely the best.

My favorite mouse ever

I'm very particular when it comes to mice. It has to be: - quiet click and scroll - scroll wheel, not track ball - bluetooth - vertical - real battery, NOT rechargeable There are actually several mice that fit all those criteria, and I've tried nearly all. This Logitech is double the price of most of the others, but for me well worth it. Prior to this I used the Mojo which is about half the price, and that mouse is probably my 2nd favorite but it is a distant second. Compared to the Mojo and others, this mouse has more precise movement, smoother scrolling, and more reliable clicks. Because of the vertical orientation, my finger tends to click diagonally downward with gravity instead of fully horizontal in line with the intended click direction. That causes the Mojo to sometimes miss my clicks, forcing me to constrain my finger direction more carefully, often requiring several tries just to click something. But this Logitech has no such issue, it's very responsive every time even with my sloppy clicks. So while I used to think the Mojo was the best I could find given my requirements, this Logitech is clearly better. When I spend all day at the computer, these minor things make a big difference to me, therefore well worth the extra money. Also want to mention I'm 6' 4" tall and the size of this mouse is fine for me. It is a little smaller than some others, but it feels fine in my hand, it's not abnormally tiny or anything. I was concerned because the description says it's intended for smaller hands and suggested I should get their larger MX Vertical model instead. I would have considered it but the MX Vertical has a rechargeable battery which is a deal-breaker for me. What's my beef with rechargeable batteries? Earlier I had the Seenda vertical mouse but its rechargeable battery died after a year, unable to recharge, so I figured it was a fluke and bought another, and same thing happened after a few months. So after that I switched to replaceable batteries and never looked back. Replaceable batteries last forever (well, they only last a year too, but then you just replace the battery!). I've been very happy using replaceable batteries, way more reliable and durable, because all rechargeables die eventually, and it is easier to replace a battery than an entire mouse! So in summary, if you're price sensitive you could get a usable vertical mouse for less. But if you're OK to spend a little more for a tool you might well use all day for years, then this one is totally worth it IMO.

Easy peasy connection

First time using an ergonomic mouse of this kind and it'll take a little bit of getting used to. Color matches the theme of my home office and it has a pleasant feel to it. No lights or RGB on this one. Very easy to move maneuver around with. The mouse is very accurate when you move it around your computer screen. I even connected it to my tablet and the accuracy and speed is great. Fast but not excessively fast. I do feel like that there is less strain on my wrist while using this mouse. It makes resting my hand in the wrist pad easier and more comfortable. The size is okay but I have big hands for a female so there will always be a size factor for me when it comes to various mice. The quality and build of this mouse is very good. I've had quite a few products in the past and now from Logitech so it's a brand that I trust. I'm not even opposed to buying another one of these for the office. Initially I thought I would have a problem adjusting to the scroll wheel and clicker being on the side of the mouse, but it's actually more comfortable and convenient than my current Windows mouse. Scrolling is much easier but still adjusting to clicking on things. I'm sure it'll become second nature soon. Instructions on the cardboard are super easy to follow to set up which devices you want to connect the mouse to. It took less than a minute to connect each of my devices. Being able to scroll back and forth on a website or folder without having to use the browser/folder's back and forth buttons is wonderful. I just have to not hit the left click button when I touch them. I decided to install the Logi Option+ software to see what all I could do with this mouse. I was a bit annoyed the software took longer to install than download. The actual mouse is lightening fast compared to the software. Since I'm just getting the product today and starting to use it today, I'm not able to speak on the battery life just yet. Comes work a typical AA alkaline battery which I'm grateful for, but at some point I'll change it to a lithium battery since those last a bit longer. Yet before I do that I'll check to set if the batteries last at least a year. So back to the software, once it finally installed, it took forever to load so guess that portion will be an update. Any hoo, great mouse with a movie of comfort, convenience, speed, and accuracy. 10/10 recommend!
