Our Verdict

Logitech M317

AmazonBasics 3-Button USB Wired Mouse

The AmazonBasics 3-Button USB Wired Mouse and the Logitech M317 are both straightforward mice with three buttons. The main difference is that the AmazonBasics mouse is wired only, while the Logitech is wireless and connects using a USB receiver. The AmazonBasics mouse is also slightly larger and more accommodating of medium-sized hands.
