Which one to pick

Take the Logitech Lift

Leads on Value and Ease of use.

  • Wrist discomfort that gets worse through the week
  • Small or medium hands that the larger vertical mice swallow
  • You need a left-handed vertical mouse, which barely exists otherwise

Take the Logitech MX Master 3S

Leads on Performance, Durability and Design.

  • Spreadsheets and long documents, where the free-spinning wheel earns its keep
  • Three computers and one mouse
  • You share a room and the old model's click was too loud

What each one gets wrong

Logitech Lift

  • Precision work where the lower sensor resolution shows
  • You want the free-spinning scroll wheel from the Master line

Logitech MX Master 3S

  • Small hands — this is a large, high-backed shape
  • You want a symmetrical shape for left-handed use
