Know before you buy
The Lift 2 is specifically optimized for claw and fingertip grip styles. Its ergonomic shape and lightweight build make it less ideal for palm grippers who prefer a larger, more supportive mouse body.
An 8,000 Hz polling rate allows the mouse to report its position to your computer eight times more frequently than a standard 1,000 Hz mouse. This reduces input latency, providing a smoother and more responsive cursor movement, which is particularly beneficial in high-refresh-rate competitive gaming.
While the mouse is plug-and-play, you will need to download NZXT's software if you wish to adjust the DPI settings or customize the performance parameters of the sensor.
At just 58 grams, the Lift 2 is exceptionally lightweight, which reduces wrist fatigue during long sessions and allows for faster, more precise flick shots. This makes it an excellent choice for fast-paced shooters where quick reaction times are critical.
The Lift 2 features six buttons in total, including the side buttons. However, these buttons are not programmable, meaning they function as standard mouse buttons and cannot be remapped to custom macros or unique keybinds.
The mouse features a low-drag cable designed to minimize resistance and cable snag. Combined with the PTFE glide pads, the mouse feels nearly wireless during use, ensuring your movements remain fluid and unhindered.
