The 6 Best Mice For MacBook Pro - Winter 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. The sensor on it is excellent with a wide range of customizable CPI settings, plus the high maximum polling rates gives it a smooth cursor movement. With low wireless click latency, this mouse is very responsive. Two dedicated programmable buttons on both sides make it useful for MMO gamers if you don't want to buy a dedicated MMO mouse.

The Logitech G HUB software is an excellent program for gaming and offers tons of options. You can even set a G-Shift button, which acts like a Shift Key on the keyboard and opens up more programmable controls. It has an ambidextrous design, plus it's suitable for almost any type of hand size and grip.

However, the wire it comes with is made out of rubber, feels heavy, and drags on the desk. Overall, this is a great gaming mouse 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.
