The Best Wireless Mouse - Fall 2021 Mice Reviews

The best wireless gaming mouse we've tested is the Razer Viper Ultimate. It's lightweight and portable, feels very well-built, and has a truly ambidextrous design with two side buttons on either side. It also has a low-back design and a short body that makes it well-suited to a fingertip for almost all hand sizes, a claw grip for those with small to large hands, and a palm grip for those with smaller hands.

You can use it wired or wirelessly using its USB receiver that plugs into your computer directly or into a cradle that acts as a signal extender. It has exceptionally low latency, virgin grade PTFE mouse feet that glide very smoothly, a wide CPI range, a CPI you can adjust by increments of 50, and a low lift-off distance. You can also remap all the buttons using the companion software.

Unfortunately, the left and right mouse buttons squeak slightly when bottomed out, and the companion software isn't available on macOS. That said, it does have onboard memory, so you can still use your settings on computers without the software installed. All in all, it's an excellent wireless gaming mouse and among the best gaming mice we've tested.

The best versatile wireless mouse that we've tested is the Razer Naga Pro. This model is an excellent option if you play many game genres, thanks to its three swappable side panels with different button layouts. You can choose between a 2-, 6-, or 12-button configuration based on the type of game you're playing, whether it's an MMO, MOBA, battle royale, or FPS.

Using the Razer Synapse 3 software, you can reprogram all of the buttons on the mouse, and you can even set a HyperShift button to give you a second layer of controls. It has an incredibly low latency over a USB receiver connection, and it's impressively low over Bluetooth, even though it's a bit higher. The CPI range is very wide, and you can adjust the CPI in increments of 50, and it has a low minimum lift-off distance, although it isn't as low as some other models.

Unfortunately, the sensor is very inconsistent and inaccurate, and it undershoots the set CPI a lot when moving the mouse fast. Also, the mouse is quite large, so people with smaller hands will struggle to reach some of the buttons comfortably. Nonetheless, this is an amazing wireless model if you play many games and need a different button layout for each.

The best wireless mouse for office use that we've tested is the Logitech MX Master 3. This dedicated office mouse has a very ergonomic shape, thanks to its high back and finger rest, making it ideal for a palm grip. You can use it via USB receiver or Bluetooth, and you can pair it with up to three devices at once.

It has two scroll wheels. The vertical one has L/R tilts and automatically unlocks for free scrolling, and the horizontal one on its left side is for side-scrolling and should line up with your thumb. There's also a button on the thumb rest that enables gesture commands for as long as you hold it, and you can set these controls in the Logitech Options software.

Unfortunately, it's a bulky mouse, so people with small hands might struggle to reach some of the buttons comfortably in any grip type. Also, it's very heavy, and it isn't great for traveling if you want to take it on the road with you. Nonetheless, this is an outstanding office mouse, and it's among the best ergonomic mice we've tested.

The best wireless mouse for Mac that we’ve tested is the Apple Magic Mouse 2. This mouse feels remarkably well-built and has a glossy, acrylic body with a metal frame. Its compact design and low-profile is great for portability as it should fit in most laptop bags. It connects wirelessly via Bluetooth, so there's no USB receiver to carry around.

Though the mouse lacks a physical scroll wheel and distinct L/R buttons, the entire top of the mouse has a tactile touch surface, which you can use to perform gesture commands. The one large button can also act as both a left and right click. The mouse has a lightning charging port that’s consistent with other Apple products. However, the charging port is on the bottom of the mouse, so you won’t be able to use the mouse while charging.

Unfortunately, this mouse lacks any companion software, so you can't adjust the polling rate, CPI, or lift-off distance, and you can't re-program custom gesture controls. Additionally, the slim profile isn’t well-suited for use with anything but a fingertip grip. While this mouse isn't recommended for gaming, it should be suitable for most everyday office uses. If you have an Apple device, it’s the best Bluetooth mouse we've tested and among the best mouse for MacBook Pro we’ve reviewed.

The best budget wireless mouse we’ve tested is the Logitech G305 LIGHTSPEED. Its solid, plastic body feels very sturdy and similar to more expensive Logitech options. The mouse features an ambidextrous design with two buttons on the left side that can be programmed through the companion software, which is compatible with both Windows and macOS.

The mouse features low click latency, a low lift-off distance, and you can precisely adjust the CPI by increments of 50 within a broad range. Additionally, through the software, you can assign a G-Shift button that enables a second layer of commands for even more customization. It connects with a USB receiver, and it has internal storage for the receiver under the palm rest panel.

Unfortunately, the mouse is fairly small, so it may not be suitable for larger hands; however, it should be suitable for all hand sizes in a fingertip grip. Despite its small size, it's quite heavy, so gamers who want a lightweight mouse may prefer other options. It also doesn't have a rechargeable battery, as it uses a single AA battery. With that said, it's a versatile option with good features and a low price point.
