Our Verdict
Logitech MX Anywhere 3
Logitech Lift
The Logitech Lift and the Logitech MX Anywhere 3 are both wireless productivity mice well-suited for small and medium-sized hands, but they have several differences. The Lift is a vertical mouse that you hold in a "handshake" position. It uses a single AA battery for power. The click buttons are also significantly quieter. On the other hand, the MX Anywhere 3 has a more symmetrical design and recharges with a USB-C cable. Both mice have scroll wheels with a free-scrolling function, but it automatically engages when you flick the mouse wheel quickly on the Lift, and you can toggle it manually on the MX Anywhere 3.
