Our Verdict

Logitech MX ERGO

Logitech Lift

The Logitech MX ERGO and the Logitech Lift are both wireless, ergonomic gaming mice with very different designs. The MX ERGO has a trackball design and uses a micro-USB cable to recharge. It has two additional programmable buttons, and its scroll wheel has L/R tilt inputs. It also includes a tilting base plate. On the other hand, the Logitech Lift has a vertical shape. It has a better sensor in which you can more precisely set your CPI in a slightly wider range, and it uses a single AA battery for power. Its scroll wheel also has a free-scrolling mode.
