The 6 Best Mice For MacBook Pro - Spring 2020
Mouse Reviews

The best wireless mouse for MacBook Pro that we've tested to date is the Apple Magic Mouse 2. This mouse connects to your MacBook via Bluetooth, so you don't need any dongles or USB receivers to use it. It looks and feels very premium and has a great build quality that should be able to withstand being tossed into a laptop case and brought around with you. The built-in battery is rechargeable via Lightning, so you don't need to bring more cables with you as you can use your iPhone charging cable to charge up your mouse, which is nice.

The entire surface of this mouse is a tactile touch-sensitive area that allows you to mimic most of the touch-based gestures that you use on your trackpad, including horizontal scroll. Unfortunately, the CPI is locked at 1300, though this is likely fine for most people, and you can adjust the sensitivity via a slider within the macOS settings window. It also doesn't have the greatest click latency, though again this won't be noticeable in normal use and likely would only be noticeable during competitive gaming, which this mouse isn't designed for.

The low profile and sleek design of this mouse mean it's only suited for fingertip grip and may not be the most ergonomic for longer sessions, but it also helps make it nice and small for tossing into a laptop case or bag. While it doesn't have the performance of some other mice, its Bluetooth connectivity, touch gestures, premium design, and small form factor make it a great companion to your MacBook Pro.

The best gaming mouse for MacBook Pro we've tested so far is the Logitech G Pro Wireless. This wireless mouse has one of the best overall performance we've seen so far, and its software is macOS compatible. It allows you to customize the mouse's performance and RGB lighting to your preference. It's a comfortable mouse to use for long periods and is very well built.

The click latency is also very low, making it feel very responsive, which is impressive for a wireless mouse. It has a set of two side buttons on each side, and you can choose between having the buttons sticking out of the mouse's body, or having them sit flush. The mouse is also light, which is nice.

Unfortunately, most recent MacBook Pros don't have a USB-A port anymore. This means that you'll probably need to buy an adapter to plug in this mouse's receiver and the charging cable. Nevertheless, if you don't mind getting one, or if you have an older computer that does have the required port, this is one of the best gaming mice for MacBook Pro.

The best mouse for Mac in the budget category that we've tested so far is the Logitech M510. This wireless mouse is fairly small, so you can easily toss it into most laptop cases, and it's available in a fairly wide range of colors to match your style. Its scroll wheel has an L/R tilt for horizontal scrolling, and it has two side buttons that can be programmed to various commands through the Logitech Options software, which works great on macOS.

Unfortunately, this mouse doesn't have Bluetooth, so you'll have to plug the included USB receiver into your MacBook. This means that if you have a newer MacBook Pro that only has USB-C ports, you'll need a USB-C to USB-A dongle as well. It's a decent mouse for people with most hand sizes, though very large hands will likely have to use it in the fingertip grip to get a comfortable hold. It uses a single AA battery, which Logitech claims can last up to two years, and means you can easily swap it out when traveling without having to wait for it to charge.

While not as customizable as some gaming options, this mouse still has a surprising amount of customization options. You can adjust the CPI, and every button other than the L/R click can be programmed, including the mouse wheel tilt. While it's not as low-profile as the Apple Magic Mouse 2 and it can't handle all of macOS' touch gestures, this is still a decent mouse if you want something wireless without breaking the bank.
