Unpacking
The box:
Our mouse of the day arrives in a small box in the familiar NZXT colors (white and purple). On the front, we’re treated to a representation of the mouse. Here, it’s a white model with no RGB. At the same time, we learn that this is an ergonomic, wired and lightweight mouse. NZXT highlights its featherweight of 61 g, 8,000 Hz polling rate and 26,000 DPI sensor.
Let’s move on to the rear, where we once again see images of the Lift 2 Ergo. The brand highlights this mouse’s weight, polling rate and 26,000 DPI sensor. We also learn that it is equipped with optical switches capable of handling up to 100 million clicks.
In the box, the mouse is placed on a cardboard base. It was well protected as it arrived in excellent condition. The layout is also quite pleasing to the eye.
Unfortunately, like the Lift 2 Symm model, the Lift 2 Ergo arrives alone in its box. In fact, neither documentation nor replacement pads, for example, are available here. It’s a real shame.
Top:
Right out of the box, we’re dealing with an attractive mouse. For this test, we received the white Lift 2 Ergo model. On the sides, we’ll find a non-slip coating that seems to do its job well. There are two buttons, accessible via the thumb if you’re right-handed. On the top, we can appreciate a very discreet NZXT logo that takes its place behind the button for managing DPI. In the center, of course, we find the mouse wheel. The coating is a little different from the usual, with small rubber circles. Otherwise, we have the classic left and right clicks, which are nothing special.
On the front of the mouse, the brand unveils a small NZXT logo molded directly into the mouse shell. On the right, there’s nothing special to say, as there are no buttons or other features, apart from the same coating as on the left.
Overall, this model is pretty straightforward and very similar to the Lift 2 Symm, and like the latter, it doesn’t have a slot for RGB LEDs.
The underside:
This is where you’ll notice a difference from the competition. The underside of the Lift 2 Ergo is perforated, probably to reduce its weight. This allows easy access to the mouse’s circuit board, although this is not especially necessary for its operation.
Otherwise, the Lift 2 Ergo has two large PTFE Teflon pads at either end. We also have the sensor in the center, surrounded by yet another PTFE pad, and a small insert with recycling information for this model. All in all, we’re on the same page as the Lift 2 Symm.
