Our Verdict
Logitech M525
Logitech M535
The Logitech M525 and the Logitech M535 are good budget travel mice. The M525 connects with a USB receiver, has a higher polling rate and a better click latency. It's suitable for almost all hand sizes using a fingertip grip. On the other hand, the M535 only connects via Bluetooth, is significantly lighter, has a button to enable gesture commands, and uses Logitech's newer Options software, compatible with Windows and macOS. It's suitable for small or medium-sized hands using a fingertip grip or small hands using a palm or claw grip.
