The Best Mouse For MacBook Pro - Spring 2021 Mice Reviews

The best mouse for Mac with a wireless connection that we’ve tested is the Apple Magic Mouse 2. This mouse has a very sleek and simple design that fits well in most work setups and is great for carrying with you. It feels remarkably well-built and solid, and it's particularly well-suited for a fingertip grip, as any hand size should be able to comfortably use it this way.

The whole body of the mouse acts as an easy-to-use tactile surface that recognizes many different gesture commands. You can use it for vertical or horizontal scrolling, and you can also enable the one big button to act as both a left and a right click. This mouse can only be used via Bluetooth, so you don't have to worry about a receiver or a cable. It also automatically shuts down after a period of inactivity to conserve battery life.

Unfortunately, its slim profile isn't the most comfortable and isn't well-suited for a palm or a claw grip. It also doesn't come with any companion software, so the customization options are very limited, and it has bad click latency, though this shouldn't impact most people for regular, everyday use. All in all, this is a good option for traveling with your Mac, and it’s also one of the best wireless mice we’ve tested.

The Corsair HARPOON RGB Wireless is the best gaming mouse for MacBook Pro we've tested. Its compact design makes it great for traveling, and it feels very well-built overall. It's particularly well-suited for a claw grip, as any hand size should be able to use it comfortably and reach all the buttons. This mouse can be used wired or wirelessly via Bluetooth or its USB receiver.

The click latency is amazingly low, and it should feel very responsive whichever way you connect it. It has a wide CPI range, though it can only be adjusted by steps of 200, and its sensor is very consistent whether you move the mouse quickly or slowly. It has two side buttons, a CPI switch button, and a wheel click. All of them can be reprogrammed within the customization software, which is available on macOS.

Unfortunately, because it's fairly small, people with medium and large hands may find it a bit uncomfortable to use with a palm grip. It lacks onboard memory, so your settings won't remain if you switch computers. It also has a very high lift-off distance, meaning your cursor could move while repositioning the mouse. That said, this is still an impressive mouse if you plan on gaming on your MacBook Pro.

The best mouse for MacBook Pro that we've tested in the budget category is the Logitech Pebble M350. Its design is somewhat unusual, with a very low profile and a slight slant forward that make it well-suited for a fingertip grip. It's also fairly lightweight and very easy to transport with you since it's wireless and has such a thin shape.

It connects via Bluetooth or with its USB receiver, and there's a button on the bottom to easily switch between connection types. It uses one AA battery for power, which is great if you don't want to worry about a charging cable. It's also fully compatible with both Windows and macOS, though it doesn't have any companion software on either OS.

Unfortunately, it's not the most comfortable option, and it's nearly impossible to use it with a palm or a claw grip. Also, it has a very low polling rate, so you could end up with choppy cursor movements, and the click latency is higher than many other mice. That said, most people shouldn't notice those things with normal use. All in all, it's great if you need a lower-price option to pair with your MacBook Pro.
