The Best Wireless Mouse - Winter 2021 Mice Reviews

The best wireless mouse for gaming we've tested is the Razer Viper Ultimate. This well-built option is an excellent choice for gamers, thanks to its amazingly low click latency, wide and adjustable CPI range, and low lift-off distance. Also, it's good for traveling since it has a receiver storage slot to ensure you don't lose it in your laptop bag.

It has an ambidextrous design with two side buttons on each side, which makes it suitable for both left- and right-handed people. Almost all hand sizes should be able to use it comfortably in a fingertip grip, although small hands may struggle to reach the scroll wheel and side buttons. All of its buttons can be remapped in the Razer Synapse 3 software, and you can even save your settings to the on-board memory so that they remain when you switch computers.

Unfortunately, the software isn't available for download on macOS, and the side buttons don't work if you set it to "right-handed mode." Also, while it feels very well built, the left and right buttons squeak when you press them all the way down. Otherwise, it's an amazing wireless mouse, and it's among the best gaming mice we've tested.

The best wireless mouse for office use is the Logitech MX Master 3. It's designed to be comfortable for long days at the office, thanks to its thumb rest and ergonomic shape. Its fantastic connectivity options allow you to use it via Bluetooth or USB receiver so you can easily switch between your personal laptop and work PC, and it's fully compatible with both Windows and macOS.

Its vertical wheel automatically unlocks itself for infinite scrolling when your scrolling through a long document or webpage, and there's a horizontal wheel on the left side that lines up with your thumb if you use it in a palm grip. It also has a unique thumb rest button that allows you to use gesture controls that you can set through the Logitech Options app. Although its click latency and CPI range aren't great for competitive gaming, both are decent for daily uses.

Unfortunately, since it's quite large, it might not fit in most laptop cases, and it isn't suited for people with small hands. It's also a little pricey, so if you want a cheaper option, the Logitech MX Master 2S is similar but lacks some features, like automatic scroll unlock. Overall, the Logitech is an exceptional ergonomic mouse for office use, and it's among the best mice that we've tested.

The best wireless mouse for Mac that we've tested is the Apple Magic Mouse 2 since it's designed specifically for Apple devices. It feels remarkably well built, made of aluminum and acrylic, and feet on the bottom are well-made. Its slim and compact design is good for traveling as it easily fits in a laptop bag, and any hand size should be able to with a fingertip grip.

It has Bluetooth support and a built-in rechargeable battery, with an automatic shut off after a period of inactivity to help conserve battery life. Its entire top is a tactile surface that allows you to mimic the touch gestures that you use with your MacBook's trackpad for horizontal and vertical scrolling. Its lightning charging port is identical to the ones found on many Apple products, so you shouldn't need to pack too many wires when you're on the go.

Unfortunately, its slim profile doesn't allow you to use it with anything but a fingertip grip, so if you prefer a palm or claw grip, this option may not be ideal. Also, you can't customize any of the buttons, the CPI, or the polling rate. Nonetheless, it's a good choice if you want something wireless designed for your MacBook, and it's the best mouse for MacBook Pro that we've tested.

The best wireless mouse for travel we've tested is the Corsair KATAR PRO Wireless. It's small and should fit well into most laptop cases, and it has space in the battery compartment to store its USB receiver. It has great wireless versatility, and you can use it over Bluetooth or with its USB receiver. It only requires a single AA battery to function, and you can know the status of the battery via the RGB indicator on the CPI switch button.

It has a very wide CPI range that can be adjusted by increments of 100 and an excellently low click latency no matter how you use it. All of its buttons can be reprogrammed within the iCUE software, and you can save your settings to the on-board memory to maintain them when you move to another computer. It's also fully compatible with macOS and Windows, so you can customize every aspect of the mouse on either operating system.

Unfortunately, it has a high lift-off distance, so the sensor might track your movements when repositioning it. Also, since it's quite small, larger hands will struggle to use it with a palm grip and extra-large hands with a claw grip. All in all, this wireless option has amazing portability, and it performs very well, especially for its price.

The best wireless mouse in the budget category we've tested is the Corsair HARPOON RGB Wireless. It's well-built and can be used over Bluetooth or with its USB receiver, and it's fully compatible with both macOS and Windows. Its slight right-handed slant should feel comfortable with most grip types for almost all hand sizes.

It has a wide CPI range that can be adjusted by increments of 200, and its sensor is accurate and consistent, so you should experience the same CPI whether you move it slowly or quickly. It has an excellently low click latency when used with its receiver, and while it's a bit higher over Bluetooth, it should still feel very responsive. Also, all of its buttons can be reprogrammed within the iCUE software, and you can also customize the RGB lighting zone on the logo.

Unfortunately, it doesn't have onboard memory, so your settings aren't maintained when you move to a different computer. Also, because it's compact, people with larger hands may find it too cramped with a palm grip, and small hands may struggle to reach some buttons with a fingertip grip. Nevertheless, this is a great wireless mouse that performs very well, especially considering its price point.
