NZXT Lift Elite Wireless Gaming Mouse Review

Today is a fun day in the eTeknix office because I love peripherals! I’ve likely done more peripheral reviews than anything else over the last 13 or so years. However, it seems most brands backed out of the peripheral market in the last couple of years, slowing down new product releases to a trickle at best. However, looking at my 2025 to-do list (it’s a secret), there are plenty more keyboards, mice, headsets and more on the way this year at last!
Of course, we’re kicking things off today with the latest gaming mouse from NZXT. The NZXT Lift Elite Wireless is the latest in an already impressive line-up of gaming mice from NZXT. As the name would suggest the “Elite” is the new flagship, sporting an impressive feature set that is sure to make it popular with gaming, but also provide a fine compliment to their new keyboard and microphone which are launching today too.
It’s very well equipped, with a truly high-end 26,000 DPI optical sensor, it’s sure to track with incredible accuracy. The new switches are 0.2ms click response optical switches for lightning-fast response times, but this is backed up by a 4K polling rate in wireless mode, or an even more extreme 8K polling mode in wired mode, ensuring you can take full advantage of the switch and sensor response times.
