The 5 Best Mice For MacBook Pro - Fall 2020
Mouse Reviews

The best wireless mouse for MacBook Pro that we've tested is the Apple Magic Mouse 2. It's explicitly made to work with their computers and connects via Bluetooth, eliminating the need for any dongles or USB receivers. Its fairly unique design removes any noticeable buttons or wheels, and the entire top is a touch-sensitive surface, allowing you to mimic the touch gestures that you use with your MacBook's trackpad.

It looks and feels premium and well-built, and is made of a mix of metal and acrylic. It's fairly lightweight, and its low profile allows it to easily slide into most laptop bags and cases. Since the entire touch surface is used for scrolling, it allows for both vertical as well as horizontal scrolling, which can be helpful when editing videos or working on large spreadsheets.

Unfortunately, its performance isn't great, and it has fairly high latency and CPI. Because of its low back, it's also designed for a fingertip grip and might be uncomfortable during long periods. That said, you can change the sensitivity within your MacBook's settings, and the click latency likely won't be noticeable with everyday, casual use. Overall, if you want the best wireless mouse for MacBook that maintains the touch gestures you've gotten used to, this is a good option.

The best gaming mouse for MacBook Pro that we've tested is the Corsair HARPOON RGB Wireless. It's a very good choice for gaming and is great to travel with. It has a compact design and is made entirely of good quality matte plastic. There's an RGB-lit logo on the back and six programmable buttons around the body. It's decently comfortable and all hand sizes should have no problem using it in a claw grip.

Its performance is outstanding, with a wide CPI range and a high maximum polling rate. Also, the click latency is quite low, no matter if you're using it over Bluetooth, wired, or the proprietary USB receiver. It's also fully compatible with the impressive Corsair iCUE compaction software, where you can customize the RGB lighting and polling rate to a maximum of five profiles. Like the software, the mouse is fully compatible with Windows and macOS.

Unfortunately, it doesn't have onboard memory, so any custom settings you set from the software won't save when you move to a different computer. The included cable is decent, but is quite rigid and maintains a lot of the packaging kinks. Because of its compact size, those with large hands won't be able to use it in a palm grip, and the same goes for small hands when using a fingertip grip. That said, whether you're playing MMOs or FPS games, this is a very good choice if you plan on gaming on your MacBook Pro.

The best mouse for MacBook Pro in the budget category that we've tested is the Logitech Pebble M350. Thanks to its lightweight and compact design, it's great to slide into your laptop bag since it won't take up much room. Its low-profile and flat shape make it perfect for a fingertip grip for any hand size, but it isn't great for any other types.

It's completely wireless and gives you the option to use via Bluetooth or a USB receiver. Its click latency is decently low over Bluetooth, so you shouldn't notice any delays, especially for casual use. It's also fully compatible with both Windows and macOS, which is great if you use both operating systems and don't want to constantly switch mice when working between the two. Also, the Pebble M350 comes in off-white, graphite, blue, or rose-pink to help you match the color to your MacBook Pro.

Unfortunately, its wheel is low-profile and has very simple functions, as it cannot be unlocked and has no vertical tilt. It also has a non-adjustable CPI, and its error percentage is over 10%, though this should be fine for day-to-day use. Overall, this is a good budget mouse for a MacBook Pro since it's great for traveling and supports Bluetooth connectivity.
