For many people, wireless mice have become the standard for computer interaction and of the hundreds of mice we’ve tested, the Logitech MX Master 2S meets and beats most users’ needs. But, if you need something a bit more niche, you can’t go wrong with any of the picks below.
Logitech MX Master 2S Mouse
The best wireless mouse overall
Building on the sterling legacy of its predecessor, the MX Master 2S is a sublime wireless mouse that offers great accuracy, comfort, and features. With a sensitivity that can be adjusted in 50 dots-per-inch (DPI) increments, from 200 all the way up to 4,000, it has support for fans of all sensitivities and use styles.
For those facing long days of mouse use ahead of them, Logitech has paid particular attention to the ergonomics of this device.
Its 500 mAh rechargeable battery can last up to 70 days, so you won’t need to worry about running out of juice anytime soon, and it features fast recharging too. For those facing long days of mouse use ahead of them, Logitech has paid particular attention to the ergonomics of this device. There’s a reason it’s one of the top mice on our list of the best ergonomic mice too. It features great thumb and finger rests, with a shape that caters to different grip types and helps prevent repetitive strain injury and carpal tunnel.
One of the best features though, is multi-device support. If you want to jump from laptop to desktop and back again, you can do it swiftly and easily with the MX Master 2S, as it can pair with up to three devices at once and switch between them at the touch of a button. With support for both Logitech’s unifying receiver and Bluetooth technology, you don’t even need to switch the wireless receiver over either.
Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 1850
The best budget mouse
The Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 1850 is an economical, no-frills wireless mouse. It may not blow you away with adjustable click force or customisable accents, but if you’re in need of a budget wireless mouse, this is your best bet.
The symmetrical, ambidextrous design makes the Mobile Mouse 1850 perfect for users of left- or right-handed persuasion, and its compact design makes it great for those on the go who need a portable wireless mouse. Its nano-transceiver is similarly diminutive making it easy to stow away — just make sure you don’t lose it!
This Microsoft mouse can last up to six months on a single charge too, which is a welcome feature, to say the least.
Logitech G Pro Wireless Mouse
The best gaming mouse
Logitech has a lot more competition in the gaming peripheral space than some of its other markets, but that doesn’t mean it’s not at the top of its game in this space. Its G Pro Hero is one of our favourite gaming rodents with good reason. It has a 1ms latency for its wireless connection, a 16,000 DPI optical sensor, and can track at up to 400-inches per second for high-speed gaming.
But even with all of that technology under the hood, it weighs in at less than three ounces, making it comfortable to use for all hand sizes, but not so lightweight that it’s easy to lose control of. Its ergonomic shape made it supremely comfortable in our long gaming tests, and thanks to tweaks to its overall shape, there’s not an accumulation of dirt and grime over time.
If you don’t like anything about the button mapping the mouse ships with, it has full support for Logitech’s programmable software, so you can remap any of the G Pro’s eight buttons to execute the exact commands you want. You can also tweak the polling rate and the RGB lighting of the G-Pro logo, then save it all to the mouse’s onboard memory for use on different systems.
Microsoft Surface Mouse
The best minimalist mouse
Although targeted toward Surface device owners who want a little more functionality than the standard touchpad offers, the Microsoft Surface Mouse is an equally capable wireless mouse on any other system you choose. It’s elegant, streamlined, ergonomic, and most importantly, lasts for as long as a year on a pair of AAA batteries.
Even though it’s a Microsoft product, the Surface Mouse is also compatible with MacOS and Android platforms, as well as Windows operating systems 10 and 8.1
Its switches and scroll wheel are rated for thousands of hours of use and an enormous number of actions.
Logitech MX Anywhere 2S
The best mobile mouse
Logitech manages to cram great speed and functionality into this compact wireless mouse, making it a comfortable fit for your hand.
It includes two well-positioned left buttons for your thumb as well as a clickable button behind the scroll wheel, bringing the total usable buttons up to seven. That scroll wheel is both durable and fast, though you can also click the wheel to enter a click-to-click mode for more precise work.
The 4,000 dpi sensor allows the mouse to run across most surfaces. It’s powered by a rechargeable battery that lasts for up to 70 days on a single charge… not bad at all. That means you don’t need to swap out batteries continuously but at the cost of connecting the peripheral to your PC for a recharge.
You can pair it with your PC in several ways — via the provided USB cable, Bluetooth, or by using the included Logitech Unifying Receiver (2.4GHz wireless). It supports the Logitech Easy Switch platform too, meaning you can pair up to three compatible computers, and switch between them with a simple button press. The mouse works with Windows (Windows 10 required for all features), MacOS and Linux.
Logitech MX Vertical
The best ergonomic mouse
This unique design reduces physiological stress, potentially minimising fatigue and the risk of developing carpal tunnel syndrome.
The MX Vertical’s design is a level above any of its competitors with a look like that of a sculpted piece of cloud, perfectly molded to fit your hand. This design relieves physiological stress, potentially minimising fatigue and the risk of developing carpal tunnel syndrome.
This on-the-side design takes a minute to get used to but once you adapt, the MX Vertical is one of the most comfortable and intuitive mice we’ve ever used. Its natural wrist positioning forces you to rest your hand in a position that is more conducive to long-term wrist health. All in an attractive package you enjoy seeing on top of your desk.
