The Best Wireless Mouse - Fall 2022 Mice Reviews

The Logitech MX Master 3S is the newest version in Logitech's extremely popular MX Master lineup. It's available in three colors to match your setup, and it has an ergonomic right-handed shape with a thumb rest that includes an integrated gesture button. You can connect this mouse wirelessly via Bluetooth or its included USB receiver, and you can pair it with up to three devices simultaneously. It also has an impressive advertised battery life of up to 70 days.

Among its most noteworthy features, this mouse has two dedicated scroll wheels. The side-mounted wheel handles horizontal scrolling, while the scroll wheel on top has both a notched scrolling mode and a free-scrolling mode that automatically engages for scrolling through content more quickly. With this most recent version, Logitech has added quieter click buttons and an improved sensor with a wider CPI range, which is particularly useful if you use a 4K display. It also uses Logitech's newest BOLT Receiver rather than the older Unifying Receiver. Logitech touts that this receiver has improved security protocols and delivers better performance in congested wireless spaces. This new receiver is backward compatible with some but not all Logitech devices, so you may still need to plug in both receivers if you're also using an older Logitech keyboard, for instance.

Like all entries in Logitech MX Master series, the MX Master 2S is an outstanding choice, but we've singled it out as a more affordable pick if you don't necessarily need all the newest features available on the Logitech MX Master 3 or Logitech MX Master 3S. Compared to those mice, this version has a slightly different look, and its side buttons and side-mounted scroll have a different configuration and don't protrude as much. It also has louder clicks, its sensor doesn't perform quite as well, and it has an older micro-USB charging cable rather than the USB-C cables on newer models.

Many of the foundational features that have made these mice so popular are fully intact, including the rock-solid build quality, classic ergonomic shape, dual scroll wheels, and multi-device pairing with up to three devices simultaneously. Like newer versions, its thumb rest also has a button to enable gesture controls, and its primary scroll wheel has both a notched and free-scrolling mode. Lastly, it still boasts an impressive battery life of up to 70 days between charges. Overall, it's a great option if you're interested in a more affordable entry point into this popular lineup to see what everyone has been talking about.

More premium options in Logitech's productivity-minded MX series might garner lots of attention, but the Logitech M720 Triathlon quietly offers many of the same features at a much more affordable price point, making it a standout choice for any budget-minded professional. It has an ergonomic, right-handed shape and is well-suited for all hand sizes using most grip types. Much like the mice in the MX Master series, you can connect this mouse with its USB receiver or via Bluetooth and wirelessly pair it with up to three devices simultaneously.

Its scroll wheel has left and right inputs for horizontal scrolling, and you can toggle between a controlled, notched scrolling mode and a much faster free-scrolling mode. It has three side buttons and a gesture button integrated into the thumb rest. Logitech advertises a battery life of up to 24 months with a single AA battery, and it has companion software that offers a good range of customization options, including button remapping and custom profile settings. There's also a compartment where you can store the USB receiver when it's not in use.

The Razer Viper V2 Pro is the newest entry in Razer's extremely successful Viper lineup. It has the same low profile and symmetrical shape as previous models but is significantly more lightweight and has Razer's new top-of-the-line Focus Pro 30K sensor. It also has updated Gen 3 optical switches and slightly improved battery life over older models. To make this mouse as lightweight as possible, Razer has removed some of the hallmark features found on previous mice in the series.

This model lacks rubber side grips, RGB lighting, and an optional wireless charging dock. Most notably, it now only has side buttons on the left side, while this lineup was previously known for having a pair of side buttons on either side. If you're interested in some of these legacy features and don't mind a somewhat heavier mouse, the Razer Viper Ultimate is an excellent alternative. It's also more affordable than ever before.

We'd also be doing a disservice if we didn't mention the similarly exceptional Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT, which is far and away the closest competitor for the Viper V2 Pro. It's only marginally heavier but doesn't perform as well. Its shape is often endearingly described as 'potato-like,' but it's also a bit more suitable for a wider range of hand sizes and grip types.

It's rare that a mouse ticks so many boxes for various uses, but the Logitech G305 LIGHTSPEED does just that. On paper, it's a gaming mouse, but it also comes in as the best general wireless mouse we've tested. 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 and fits seamlessly into professional or home office environments. It also comes in a range of colors if you'd like to add some flair or match your existing setup.

This mouse has a somewhat 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 USB Unifying Receiver to connect wirelessly and has an advertised battery life of over 250 hours using a single AA battery. It also has robust customization software and a compartment for storing its USB when not in use. It's heavier than many recent gaming 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.

For MMO and MOBA games, you need a mouse with good sensor performance and click latency and plenty of programmable buttons for all your spells, abilities, and custom macros. It's a lot to ask, but the Razer Naga Pro delivers. It has a set of three interchangeable side panels, including a fully programmable 12-button panel. Its click latency and sensor performance are exceptional and in line with other premium Razer gaming mice. It also has excellent build quality and is more than comfortable enough for marathon gaming sessions. Razer advertises a wireless battery life of up to 100 gaming hours, and there's also a left-handed version of this mouse, though it's only available as a wired model.

MMO mice are usually heavy compared to other gaming mice, and this model is no exception. If you're interested in a lighter option, the SteelSeries Aerox 9 Wireless has a lightweight honeycomb body design and is an impressive 23g lighter. However, it also doesn't perform quite as well as the Razer. Alternatively, If you're looking for something cheaper and don't mind giving up the freedom of a wireless connection, we recommend the Corsair SCIMITAR RGB ELITE. This wired-only model has comparable performance, and it's one of the very few MMO mice that's well-suited for small hands as you can adjust its 12-button side panel to suit your hand size.

Our devices are getting smaller and more powerful all the time. The Razer Pro Click Mini is a travel version of the successful Razer Pro Click, Razer's first productivity-focused mouse. This mouse is much more compact than the original, and it now sports a symmetrical shape, making it a more viable choice if you're left-handed. It feels very sturdy and is packed with features, including multi-device pairing with up to four devices at once and quieter buttons. The scroll wheel also has left and right tilt inputs for horizontal scrolling. You can toggle between a precise notched scrolling mode or a faster free-scrolling mode, which is a much-loved productivity feature absent on the larger version.

You can power this mouse with either one or two AA batteries, and Razer advertises a maximum battery life of 700 hours. It also has a compartment for storing its USB receiver, so you don't accidentally lose it in transit. And while this isn't a dedicated gaming mouse, it offers surprising sensor performance compared to other work mice on the market. Notably, it has a maximum polling rate of 1000Hz and a wide CPI range, which contribute to much smoother-feeling cursor movements, especially if you use a high-resolution display.

If you're looking for a much simpler option, we recommend the Logitech Pebble M350. It doesn't approach the same level of performance or have the same wealth of features, but it has a very slim and portable shape and is much more affordable.

If you use your mouse for long stretches at a time, you know that good ergonomics are crucial. The Logitech Lift is a vertical mouse, which means you hold it in a 'handshake position.' This mouse can be a great choice if you've ever experienced discomfort using more conventionally-shaped mice.

It has very quiet clicks and a scroll wheel that automatically switches between a more precise scrolling mode and a free-scrolling mode that's useful for quickly scrolling through documents or websites. This mouse is available in three muted colors and blends well into both office and home setups. This mouse doesn't have the same features as more premium productivity models like the MX Master series of mice, but its shape is better suited for small and medium-sized hands, and there's a left-handed version available.

This mouse connects via Bluetooth or with Logitech's Bolt USB receiver. It's powered by a single AA battery, and Logitech advertises up to 24 months of battery life. Because of its vertical design, it isn't quite as portable as slimmer dedicated travel mice. However, it's an outstanding choice if you're looking for an ergonomic model for work or everyday browsing.

For Mac users, we recommend the iconic Apple Magic Mouse 2. It has an instantly recognizable design, and its slim, low-profile design makes it very portable and easy to slide into laptop bags or pockets. While there's a newly-released black color variant, the fundamental design of this mouse hasn't changed since 2015.

Its aluminum frame and acrylic body feel remarkably well-built, and its shape is well-suited for all hand sizes. That said, it isn't anywhere near as ergonomic as other popular options for Mac, including the Logitech MX Master 3, which is more comfortable if you're using your mouse for long stretches. The glossy acrylic top is a Multi-Touch surface that behaves like a trackpad. Tapping this surface registers left and right clicks, but it also supports gesture commands for swiping between applications or web pages and scrolling through documents.

This mouse connects via Bluetooth and recharges with a USB-C to Lightning cable. You can't use this mouse while it's charging, but you can get up to nine hours of battery life from a quick two-minute charge, and a full charge can last up to a month or more. Altogether, this mouse isn't just the best Bluetooth mouse for desktop Mac setups but also the best mouse for MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, and iPad users currently available.
