The Keychron M1 Wireless is a wireless gaming mouse with a symmetrical shape and ambidextrous design with a pair of side buttons on either side. It has rounded, pill-shaped cutouts in the body's top, sides, and bottom to reduce its overall weight. This mouse is a wireless version of the Keychron M1, and the two mice look identical. However, the M1 Wireless uses PixArt's newer flagship sensor, the PAW 3395. This mouse also includes a variety of USB-C and USB-A accessories, ensuring you can use this mouse wired or wirelessly regardless of your computer's ports.
Our Verdict
While not specifically designed for this use, the Keychron M1 Wireless is adequate for work. It connects wirelessly with its USB receiver or via Bluetooth, so you don't have to worry about cables cluttering your desk. It also has a decent number of buttons you can program, including a pair of buttons on either side. Unfortunately, while the build quality is good overall, the mouse makes noticeable creaking noises during everyday use. Also, the mouse wheel lacks L/R tilt inputs and a free-scrolling mode.

Popular Mouse Comparisons
The Keychron M1 Wireless is a wireless version of the Keychron M1. The two mice look identical, but the M1 Wireless uses a significantly better sensor. Keychron advertises this as a lightweight gaming mouse, and it has small cutouts in its body to reduce its overall weight. However, despite these cutouts, this mouse weighs the same as the Keychron M3, which has a solid plastic body. While the M1 Wireless has fairly good build quality compared to other options at this price point, there's some flexibility in the body, and it makes minor creaking noises when using it normally. That said, an additional feature that sets this mouse apart is its included compatibility accessories. It comes with alternate adapters and receivers in the box so that you can use this mouse wired or wirelessly regardless of whether your computer has USB-C or USB-A ports.
