The Best Mouse For MacBook Pro - Fall 2021 Mice Reviews

The best Bluetooth mouse for Mac and Macbook Pro that we’ve tested is the Apple Magic Mouse 2. The body is aluminum and acrylic, and it feels remarkably well-built. The design is slim and sleek, so it fits easily into most laptop bags for easy portability. It should be comfortable for all hand sizes with a fingertip grip.

Performance-wise, it has bad click latency, the polling rate is extremely low, and both the polling rate and CPI settings are fixed and can't be adjusted. However, for everyday browsing and productivity tasks, these settings shouldn’t be noticeable. The entire top surface of the mouse is tactile, and you can use gesture controls to scroll and switch between applications. Though there is only one button, it does function as both an L/R click button.

Unfortunately, it isn’t suited for use with a claw or palm grip due to its low profile and slim width. Additionally, the charging port is on the bottom, so you can’t use the mouse while it charges. With that said, it’s a highly portable and popular option that works well if you travel with your Mac.

The best mouse for MacBook for gaming that we've tested is the Corsair HARPOON RGB Wireless. It has a compact and comfortable right-handed shape with a thumb rest, and it's easy to slip into laptop cases or bags. It's best suited for a claw grip for all hand sizes, but it's also suitable for a palm grip for smaller hands and a fingertip for medium to extra-large-sized hands.

It connects wirelessly with its USB receiver or via Bluetooth, but you can also use it in wired mode with its charging cable. It has two side buttons on the left and a button to cycle between CPI settings behind the scroll wheel. Its mouse feet glide smoothly on mousepads and directly on desks, and it has a storage compartment for its USB receiver when it's not in use. Performance-wise, it has low click latency, a wide CPI range, and you can adjust the CPI by increments of 200 within the customization software, which is compatible with Windows and macOS.

Unfortunately, it has a high lift-off distance, so the sensor may track your mouse movements when you reposition your mouse. Also, there's no onboard memory, so you'll need to install the software on any computer you use if you'd like to use custom settings. Nevertheless, this has mouse has great overall gaming performance in a portable package, making it the best gaming mouse for Mac we've tested.

In the budget category, the best mouse for Mac we’ve tested is the Logitech Pebble M350. It has a low-profile design that’s suitable for all hand sizes using a fingertip grip. It connects wirelessly using either its dedicated USB receiver or Bluetooth, and it uses a single AA battery for power, so you won’t need to worry about carrying around cables. It’s also extremely portable and should fit easily into most laptop bags.

In terms of performance, it’s not an ideal choice for gaming as it has a low, fixed polling rate and a high click latency. However, for casual browsing and productivity tasks, these shortcomings shouldn’t be noticeable. Although there isn’t any customization software, the mouse is fully compatible with Windows and macOS and should handle basic tasks well.

Unfortunately, the size and design of the mouse may not be comfortable for long periods of use, and it isn’t suitable for anything but a fingertip grip. It also lacks side buttons, and the scroll wheel doesn’t unlock for free scrolling like more premium Logitech offerings. While it may not be the best wireless mouse for Mac overall, it's still a great budget option for travelers and Mac users.
