If you've got lots of things on your desk or like to use your mouse on the go, using a wired mouse can be troublesome. In the past, wireless mice didn't perform as well as wired mice and typically had poor battery life. Nowadays, most wireless mice perform just as well as their wired brethren, to the point where esports pros rely on wireless options, even during competition play. Depending on how often you use your mouse, some can last for months without recharging. Whether you're looking for an everyday browsing option, something to toss into your bag when you travel, or a trusty companion to help you make it to the top of the leaderboards, a good wireless mouse can help you interact more naturally with your computer and with more freedom of movement.
We've tested over 375 mice, and below, you'll find our picks for the best Bluetooth mouse and wireless mice for most people. For other recommendations, see our picks for the best mouse, the best mouse for gaming, and the best ergonomic mouse. If you're a Mac user, check out our picks for the best mouse for MacBooks.
We test dozens of mice each year, and to maintain our independence, we buy each one ourselves. Going beyond subjective impressions, each mouse is evaluated on our standardized test bench so you can directly compare our results. We use specialized tools like a Mecmesin force tester to measure switch force curves and a Beagle 480 USB analyzer to isolate device-side click and sensor latency. These reviews are made with input from several departments in a process that takes days or even weeks from start to finish.

Best Wireless Mouse
Work9.1Video Games (FPS)7.4Video Games (MMO)7.7Raw Performance6.7Battery Type:RechargeableReceiver:YesBluetooth:YesSee all our test resultsMaximum Of Paired Devices:3We recommend the Logitech MX Master 4 as the best wireless mouse for most people. It's the newest entry in Logitech's longstanding lineup and keeps the same premium-feeling dual scroll wheels, with the top wheel able to switch automatically between notched and free-scrolling modes. It also adds a side gesture button and a haptic thumb-rest button that opens a customizable radial menu for app-specific shortcuts in programs like Photoshop, DaVinci Resolve, and Final Cut Pro. Finally, it introduces small shape tweaks to better fit a wider range of hand sizes and now uses dense silicone rubber and hard plastic instead of the soft-touch coating that wore down easily on earlier models.
Despite all these positives, there are a couple of potential drawbacks. If you use a high-refresh-rate monitor (90Hz or above), cursor movement may appear sluggish since this mouse is locked to a 125Hz polling rate. This helps extend battery life but can make motion feel choppier. Also, if you use a computer that restricts software installation, you won't be able to change settings or use features like the haptics and gesture button, which require Logitech's software running in the background.
As a final note, this mouse comes in a standard version and a Mac version. The Mac version is a different color and doesn't include a USB-C Logi BOLT receiver, though it remains compatible with one. Both versions work fully with Windows and macOS. Overall, this is an excellent mouse for browsing, everyday desktop use, and productivity, but if the new features don't appeal to you, consider the previous-generation Logitech MX Master 3S, which usually costs about $30 less. For an even more affordable mid-range pick, see the Logitech MX Master 2S below.

Best Mid-Range Wireless Mouse
Work9.0Video Games (FPS)7.2Video Games (MMO)7.3Raw Performance6.5Battery Type:RechargeableReceiver:YesBluetooth:YesSee all our test resultsMaximum Of Paired Devices:3If you're targeting a mid-range price point, we recommend the Logitech MX Master 2S. It's discontinued in North America but still available through several online retailers. You may see both the 2017 model and the 2023 Bluetooth Edition, with the only real difference being that the Bluetooth Edition doesn't include a 2.4GHz USB Unifying receiver. Pricing varies, but it's usually the best value at around $60 USD.
The MX Master 2S has a few design differences compared to newer models. Its side buttons and side scroll wheel sit slightly differently and protrude less. It uses a soft-touch rubber coating that many users report breaks down over time, has louder click buttons, and charges with Micro-USB instead of USB-C. Its maximum CPI is also lower. This won't matter for most people, but if you're using a high pixel-density 4k display, you may need to increase your Windows pointer speed for comfortable cursor movement.
Otherwise, all the core features that define this lineup are here, including the premium-feeling build quality, supportive ergonomic shape, dual scroll wheels, and Bluetooth multi-device pairing with up to three devices. It also offers an advertised 70 days of battery life, which matches the newer models in the series.

Best Budget Wireless Mouse
Work8.3Video Games (FPS)7.1Video Games (MMO)7.5Raw Performance6.3Battery Type:1x AAReceiver:YesBluetooth:YesSee all our test resultsMaximum Of Paired Devices:3More premium options in Logitech's productivity-minded MX series get lots of attention, but if you're looking to spend a little less, we recommend the Logitech M720 Triathlon, which quietly offers many of the same features at a more affordable price point. This mouse has an ergonomic, right-handed shape and is well-suited for most hand sizes. It has three easy-to-reach side buttons and an integrated gesture button hidden in the thumb rest. Like our top pick, the Logitech MX Master 4, you can connect this mouse with its USB receiver or via Bluetooth and pair it with up to three devices simultaneously.
Its scroll wheel has left and right inputs, and you can toggle between a controlled, notched scrolling mode and a much faster free-scrolling mode for easier navigation of long spreadsheets. However, unlike the more expensive MX Master series mice, it doesn't feel as premium overall and lacks a second thumb scroll wheel. Depending on where you're shopping for your mouse, you may see the similar-looking Logitech Precision Pro, which is the same mouse as the M720 Triathlon but has a darker-colored bottom plate. The Precision Pro was previously a Costco exclusive but has recently been on sale from other retailers and can be less expensive than the more common M720 Triathlon-branded variant.

Best Wireless Mouse For Gaming
Work7.3Video Games (FPS)9.5Video Games (MMO)8.3Raw Performance9.8Battery Type:RechargeableReceiver:YesBluetooth:NoSee all our test resultsMaximum Of Paired Devices:1If you're looking for the best wireless option for gaming, look no further than the Razer Viper V3 Pro. It's the latest addition to Razer's popular Viper series of symmetrical-shaped gaming mice. It features a new, more subdued design and a familiar shape that's ideal for a wide variety of hand sizes and grip types. It's now even lighter and sports Razer's updated Focus Pro 35K sensor, one of the most accurate and consistent sensors we've tested. It supports a maximum wireless polling rate of 8000Hz and delivers some of the lowest click and sensor latency figures available, providing an incredibly responsive gaming experience.
If you don't mind missing out on absolutely bleeding-edge performance, Razer's previous generation, the Razer Viper V2 Pro, is still an outstanding choice, and it's currently available for cheaper than ever. Lastly, we couldn't forgive ourselves for not mentioning the Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro as a possible alternative. It delivers outstanding raw performance similar to our top pick, but it's designed exclusively for right-handed users and is a better option for larger-sized hands, especially if you prefer using a palm grip.

Best Budget Wireless Mouse For Gaming
Work7.0Video Games (FPS)8.4Video Games (MMO)7.8Raw Performance9.1Battery Type:1x AAReceiver:YesBluetooth:NoSee all our test resultsMaximum Of Paired Devices:1If you're looking for a gaming mouse and don't want to break the bank, check out the Logitech G305 LIGHTSPEED. It's a gaming mouse on paper, but it's also one of the best general-use wireless mice we've tested at this price point. While it has impressive sensor performance and click latency, you don't need to be a gamer to appreciate what this mouse offers. Its build quality is great and resembles that of more premium-priced Logitech options. It also has a subdued look that blends seamlessly in professional settings or home desktops and comes in several colors to match your current decor or add flair. Additionally, it features dedicated side buttons that can be used for quicker back and forward navigation.
This mouse has an egg-like shape that's comfortable for nearly all hand sizes, and it's easy to slip into laptop bags or pockets for use on the go. It uses Logitech's LIGHTSPEED USB receiver to connect wirelessly and has an advertised battery life of over 250 hours using a single AA battery. There's also a small slot to store the USB receiver inside the mouse, so you don't lose it in transit. It's heavier than many recent gaming-oriented releases, but this is only an issue for gamers who exclusively play fast-paced, reaction-based games. Altogether, given its versatility and unmatched price-to-performance, this mouse remains the best all-around wireless option on the market.

Best Wireless Mouse For Travel
Work8.2Video Games (FPS)8.7Video Games (MMO)8.3Raw Performance9.2Battery Type:2x AAReceiver:YesBluetooth:YesSee all our test resultsMaximum Of Paired Devices:4If you're looking specifically for a travel option, we recommend the Razer Pro Click Mini. This mouse is a more portable version of the successful Razer Pro Click, Razer's first productivity-focused mouse. It's much more compact than the original and now sports a symmetrical shape, making it a more viable choice if you're left-handed. It feels sturdy and packs many features, including multi-device pairing with up to four devices simultaneously and quieter buttons. The scroll wheel also has left and right tilt inputs, and you can toggle between a precise scrolling mode or a faster free-scrolling mode, a much-loved productivity feature absent on the larger version.
You can power this mouse with one or two AA batteries, and Razer advertises a maximum battery life of 700 hours. It also has a compartment for storing the USB receiver, so you don't accidentally lose it in transit. If you'd prefer a much simpler alternative, we recommend the Logitech Pebble Mouse 2 M350s. It doesn't approach the same level of performance or have the same wealth of features, but it's much more affordable and has a very slim and portable shape.

Keychron M6:
The Keychron M6 is a great mid-range alternative that balances productivity and gaming. It feels much cheaper than the Logitech MX Master 4 but has a similar shape and includes a secondary thumb scroll wheel. It's also much lighter and delivers far better gaming performance, though it still doesn't match the raw performance of our dedicated gaming recommendations.
See our review - Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2: The Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2 is a close competitor to the Razer Viper V3 Pro. Its symmetrical shape is a bit more accommodating to a wider range of hand sizes and grip types. However, it doesn't feel quite as sturdy, and its stock mouse feet don't glide as smoothly. See our review
- Logitech MX Anywhere 3S: The Logitech MX Anywhere 3S is a compact wireless model with a lot in common with the Razer Pro Click Mini for about the same price, but rather than using AA batteries, it recharges with a USB cable. That said, it doesn't offer the same level of performance overall, and its scroll wheel lacks left and right tilt functions. See our review

Our recommendations above are what we think are currently the best Bluetooth mouse and wireless mouse for most people. We factor in the price (a cheaper mouse wins over a pricier one if the difference isn't worth it), feedback from our visitors, and availability (no mice that are difficult to find or almost out of stock everywhere).
If you would like to do the work of choosing yourself, here is the list of all our wireless mice reviews. Be careful not to get too caught up in the details. While no mouse is perfect for every use, most mice are great enough to please almost everyone, and the differences are often not noticeable unless you really look for them.
