NZXT released their first gaming mouse, the Lift, back in 2022. They have now revamped the design with the release of the Lift 2. On paper, the new model improves on the original in almost every way, featuring a lightweight design, up to 8000Hz polling rate and two distinct shapes. The Lift 2 Symm has a symmetrical and compact body, while the Lift 2 Ergo has a right handed, ergonomic and contoured design. Can these new mice from NZXT perform better than the first generation models?

Pros:
- Matte finish doesn’t attract fingerprints.
- Lighter than the original.
- Up to 8000Hz polling rate.
- Good feature set for the price.
- Lack of RGB.
Cons:
- 8000Hz polling rate is overkill for most people.
- Inconsistencies in scroll wheel across the two shapes.
- Non-detachable cable.
- Lack of RGB.
KitGuru says: The Lift 2 gaming mice are a good improvement over the original Lift. The build has been improved overall but some inconsistencies in the scroll wheels across our two review units did slightly disappoint. The increase in polling up to 8000Hz is nice to see at the £53 price point. Overall, this is a step in the right direction for NZXT and the Lift 2 delivers a lot of features for a relatively low cost.
