Our Verdict
Dell Alienware AW310M
Logitech M720 Triathlon
The Logitech M720 Triathlon is an excellent wireless office mouse, while the Dell Alienware AW310M is a decent wireless gaming mouse. Both connect wirelessly with a USB receiver and use an AA battery, but Logitech has Bluetooth support and software compatible with Windows and macOS, two features that the Dell lacks. Both mice also have a thumb rest, but the Dell has a pinky rest as well. The Logitech feels sturdier and has four more programmable buttons. It also has a scroll wheel with L/R tilt inputs and free-scrolling. Comparatively, The Dell has a lower click latency and an adjustable polling rate and CPI.
