Hardware
HardwareNotes

The NZXT Lift 2 Ergo comes with no additional accessories, only the mouse itself. All user documentation is provided digitally online. This model is wired-only, offering a direct, stable connection with lower latency, which is especially beneficial for gaming.

The cable is lightweight and flexible, though some users may still notice a slight drag depending on their preferences. The mouse features a raised texture on both sides and a textured scroll wheel. The open-bottom design, with minimal structural support, reduces the mouse's overall weight, but may allow more dust and debris to accumulate inside.
