Quick Verdict
The Logitech Lift beats the MX Vertical for most buyers: it scores 82/100 on our ergonomic profile against 80/100, and costs ₹5,195 on Flipkart against ₹4,995 for the MX Vertical. But hand size decides this one: Logitech designs the Lift for small to medium hands, so if your hands are large, the bigger MX Vertical is the one to try.
The Lift wins on battery life, the newer Logi Bolt receiver and a left-hand version. The MX Vertical wins on its rechargeable battery and slightly better software features.

Who wins each row, and why
Sensor: tie (6.5 vs 6.5)
Both run 400–4,000 DPI optical sensors made for office work. The MX Vertical has a dedicated cursor-speed switch; the Lift's DPI is set in Logi Options+. Neither is a gaming sensor, and neither lists glass tracking.
Responsiveness: tie (6 vs 6)
Logitech lists about 133 Hz (7.5 ms) for the Lift on Bolt. It does not publish a rate for the MX Vertical. Both are fine for documents, browsing and spreadsheets.
Build & switches: tie (7.5 vs 7.5)
The Lift's main buttons are rated for 5 million clicks. Logitech does not publish a click rating for the MX Vertical. We rated both the same on shell and overall build.
Comfort & shape: tie on rating, split by hand size (9 vs 9)
Both hold your hand in a handshake position, and both are rated 9/10 for the hands they suit. The difference is size. The Lift is 108 mm tall and 70 mm wide, and Logitech designs it for small to medium hands. The MX Vertical is 120 mm tall and 79 mm wide. If your hand feels cramped on a regular mouse, the MX Vertical's bigger shell is likely the better fit. Only the Lift comes in a left-hand version.
A vertical mouse may reduce strain for some people. It is not a treatment, so see a doctor if pain in your hand, wrist or arm persists.
Connectivity & battery: Lift (9 vs 8)
The Lift uses the newer Logi Bolt receiver and runs up to 24 months on one AA battery. The MX Vertical ships with the older Unifying receiver and lasts up to 4 months per charge, though a 1-minute charge gives about 3 hours and it can also work over its cable. Both switch between three devices.
Software & features: MX Vertical (8.5 vs 8)
Both use Logi Options+. The MX Vertical edges ahead with its cursor-speed switch and wired option. The Lift has a SmartWheel that switches between precise and fast scrolling.
India value: Lift (8 vs 7.5)
The two are close in price. The Lift gives more battery life and a newer receiver for ₹200 more. The MX Vertical's Flipkart listing showed an MRP of ₹9,573 against a ₹4,995 price, so check the seller before buying. We could not confirm the India warranty term for either.
