With Lift, you can rest your hand on a softly textured grip, with easy-to-reach buttons that help you work all day without lifting a finger. It features an “optimal” 57º angle that rests your hand in a “natural handshake position.” This angle puts less pressure on your wrist throughout the day while placing your arm and upper body in a more natural posture.
Here's more from Logitech:
“With a more relaxed upper body, your mind can focus on the things that really matter. Stay zen from a.m. to p.m. with whisper-quiet clicks and a smooth-gliding, quiet scroll wheel that adapts to the lightest touch…”
Other features include:
- Connect easily using Bluetooth Low Energy or the included Logi Bolt USB receiver – ideal for congested environments like the office
- Powered by a single AA battery (included)
- Great fit for small and medium hands
- Easy-to-reach customizable buttons, whisper-quiet clicks, and a SmartWheel for smooth, seamless scrolling
- Has been designed, developed, tested, and approved according to criteria set out by leading ergonomists
