Logitech M720 Triathlon vs Logitech Lift Vertical Ergonomic Mouse
Get the Logitech Lift. Unless you just want a more comfortable normal mouse for as little as possible — then the M720 Triathlon.
Logitech M720 Triathlon
A cheap, comfortable contoured mouse that switches between three devices, with a free-spinning wheel and a thumb button. It's not vertical, and it's small for large hands.
Logitech Lift Vertical Ergonomic Mouse
The best vertical mouse for small and medium hands: a 57° handshake grip that eases wrist twist, quiet clicks and up to two years on one AA battery. There's a left-handed version.

The short answer
The Lift's 57° vertical grip changes how your wrist sits, which a contoured mouse can't. The M720 costs less, switches between three devices and has a free-spinning wheel, but it's a normal mouse shape.
Get the M720 Triathlon if
- —You want a comfortable mouse for as little as possible.
- —You don't want to learn a new grip.
- —You'd use a free-spinning wheel.
Get the Logitech Lift if
- —Your wrist or forearm aches after a day with a normal mouse.
- —You're left-handed.
- —You want a proper ergonomic mouse.
