Shoulder stiffness at work may be caused by your mouse.
The mouse I use every day for desk work.
To be honest, I thought, “They're all pretty much the same,” but
just by switching to a different mouse, I noticed a clear difference in how my body felt.んです。
In this review, I'll compare Logicool's vertical mouse, the “Lift,” with the company's standard wireless mouse, the “M650.”「Lift」を、同社の定番ワイヤレスマウス「M650」と比較しながらレビューします。
This mouse is recommended for people who use a mouse for long periods of time, those who suffer from stiff shoulders, and those who do a lot of Excel work.
What kind of mouse is Logitech's “Lift”?
Lift is an ergonomic mouse designed for vertical holding, manufactured by Logicool.
Its most distinctive feature is its unique shape, which allows you to “grip” the mouse. The angle of inclination is 57 degrees, which is the same as the angle when you naturally shake hands. This angle is said to be the most comfortable for your wrist.
This shape is truly amazing.
From the very first day I started using it, I thought, “This feels comfortable,” and after using it for a few days, I noticed that my shoulders and neck felt noticeably lighter.
使い始めた初日から「なんかラクかも」と思えて、数日使っていると肩や首が明らかに軽く感じた。
Why did I switch from the M650?
I used to use Logicool's M650 mouse.
It was a well-balanced mouse with quiet operation, a comfortable grip, and a reasonable price.
However, when I used it all day at work, my shoulders and neck would become stiff by the evening, and sometimes I would even get a headache.
That's when I found Lift.
I wondered, “Can changing my mouse really make that much of a difference?” but I decided to give it a try, and it turned out to be a completely different experience.これは完全に別物でした。
What I liked about the Lift after actually using it
The appeal of Lift is not just that it relieves strain on your wrist.んです。
Here are some of the benefits I felt when I actually used it.
1. No twisting of the wrist, so it's less tiring to use for long periods of time.
Thanks to its vertical shape, there is no need to twist your wrist unnaturally.
As a result, the muscles connecting your shoulders, neck, and back can relax more easily, allowing you to work comfortably until the evening.夕方まで楽に仕事できるようになりました。
2. No software required for horizontal scrolling!
Lift allows you to scroll horizontally by pressing the side button while scrolling. What's more, you can use it right away without any setup software!
Many people are unable to change their mouse settings on their work computers due to security restrictions, but with Lift, you can scroll horizontally in Excel without any problems. This may seem like a minor feature, but it's incredibly convenient. You don't have to touch the sidebar every time you want to scroll horizontally in Excel!
3. High noise reduction performance (both clicks and wheel).
Not only is there almost no clicking sound, but the wheel is also quiet. You can use it in the office without worrying about disturbing those around you, and the sound won't bother you when working at night. (You can even work during meetings.)
4. Stable connection and supports switching between three devices
Lift supports both Bluetooth® Low Energy and Logi Bolt.
- Bluetooth LE: Energy-efficient and space-saving (with an ultra-small USB receiver dongle)
- Logi Bolt: Secure connection that remains stable even in crowded offices
In addition,you can pair up to three devices and switch between them easily with a single button on the back.。
This is ideal for people who use different computers for work and home, such as a work PC, home PC, and iPad.
5. Runs for up to 24 months on a single AA battery
Its overwhelmingly energy-efficient design allows it to last for about two years on a single battery.
Since it is not rechargeable, there is no need to worry about the battery running out unexpectedly, and no need to recharge it.
Even though it is battery-powered, it is not particularly heavy (and since it is a vertical mouse, it does not cause extra fatigue).
6. Affordable price among ergonomic mice
Honestly, this performance at this price is too good to be true. Other vertical mice (e.g., MX Vertical) cost over 10,000 yen, but Lift can be purchased for less than 10,000 yen.

Summary: Lift is a mouse that combines work efficiency with physical comfort.
Since I started using Lift, I was surprised at how much difference it makes.
The M650 is certainly an excellent mouse, but for people who use it for long hours at work, Lift is definitely the better choice.
If you suffer from stiff shoulders, neck pain, headaches, or fatigue while working, simply changing your mouse may improve your condition dramatically.
