Clearly related to Logitech's MX Anywhere 3, the MX Master 3 is suitable for people with larger hands. A special thumb rest on the left side offers programmable buttons and a handy second scroll wheel. This mouse is fast and accurate, with a laser sensor that works on any surface and a maximum 8,000 DPI setting. The wireless connection is lag-free, and Bluetooth acts as backup.

The Logitech Options software lets you finetune sensitivity and customize the buttons. Like other Logitech mice, you can pair up to three devices at once. You can switch between them with a button press, and even copy and paste seamlessly from one computer to another.

This supremely comfortable mouse can go a couple of months between charges and recharges quickly via the USB-C port. Compared to its predecessor, the MX Master 2S, the Master 3 is lighter with better scroll wheels, a more comfortable shape, and an upgrade to USB-C.

DPI: 400-4,000 dpi Connectivity: 2.4 GHz or Bluetooth Dimensions: 3.09 x 3.11 x 4.72 in. Weight: 4.76 oz. Battery: Rechargeable, up to 4 months claimed

If you suffer from muscle strain, the Logitech MX Vertical is for you. Its unique form factor is designed to keep your hand at a comfortable 57-degree angle, like you’re going in for a handshake, so that you don’t contort your muscles as much throughout the day. In addition to the regular two buttons and scroll wheel, four customizable buttons can map to shortcuts or even macros.

The accuracy of its laser sensor is incredible. Logitech claims that a full charge lasts four months, and the USB-C port charges it quickly. You need to install the Logitech Options software to fully configure the mouse and get the most from it.

Logitech Flow drives the standout feature: the ability to pair with up to three computers simultaneously and switch between them with a button press. You can even copy/paste between computers.

The Razer Basilisk Ultimate is a stunning gaming mouse with its own charging dock. The mouse’s durable, right-handed design offers clever ergonomic features. Textured side panels add grip, and a thumb rest ensures comfort and control, especially for larger hands.

The wireless connection eliminates lag completely, and the powerfully accurate sensor tracks across any surface.

Razer’s Synapse software lets you remap 11 programmable buttons, set up macros, and save up to five profiles in the onboard memory. You’ll also find a host of lighting effects for the mouse’s lighting zones, or you can use Chroma studio to create your own effects and apply them to the mouse or its charging dock.

Battery life is good enough to see you through gaming marathons, and it rests in the charging cradle when you’re done. You can also plug the cable directly to the Micro USB port if you prefer. This wonderful wireless gaming mouse is a joy to use.

DPI: 100-25,600 dpi Connectivity: 2.4 GHz or wired Dimensions: 5.20 x 2.95 x 1.57 in. Weight: 4.02 oz. Battery: up to 48 hours (default lighting), up to 60 hours (no lighting)

The Logitech G502 Lightspeed has everything. Logitech has shaved a few grams off the classic angular design, and packed in new technology. The 25,600-DPI sensor ensures silky-smooth performance, excellent responsiveness, and laser accuracy. The wireless receiver offers a reliable connection with no discernible lag.

What sets this mouse apart is the sheer range of customization options. The 11 programmable buttons enable macro and shortcut commands for different games with Logitech’s G hub software.

The rich RGB lighting comes with preset effects, or you can also create your own. It can also sync with the gameplay on screen. This mouse even comes with a set of weights, so you can finetune the balance.

The Battery life isn’t great, especially when using the lighting effects, but can use it as a wired mouse while it charges, or even try the compatible Powerplay wireless charging mouse pad.

DPI: up to 19,000 dpi Connectivity: 2.4 GHz or Bluetooth Dimensions: 4.8 x 2.72 x 1.54 in. Weight: 2.08 oz. Battery: 72 hours wireless/190 hours Bluetooth

The Cooler Master MM731 continues Cooler Master’s reputation for great value at an appealing price. Its lightweight, compact design improves on its predecessor, the MM711, in every way. Its classic ergonomic shape effortlessly conforms to your hands.

The Cooler Master MM731 was designed for right-handed users, but our left-handed tester had no problem using it. Button combinations on the mouse let you customize RGB options, or you can use the MasterPlus+ software and a USB connection/adapter to get set up. Either way, you’re good to go right out of the box.

The Cooler Master MM731 offers superior battery life to its gaming mouse competition. While the Razer Viper Ultimate boasts battery life upwards of 72.5 hours, the Cooler Master MM731 offers up 72 hours via its wireless USB adapter and an astounding 190 hours via Bluetooth connection. Its lightweight design, PTFE mouse feet, and 19,000 DPI Pixart optical sensor provide a powerhouse combo unmatched at its price point.

The MM731 excels in form and function, and value, beating out the competition without even trying.

The Microsoft Ocean Plastic Mouse is simple but covers the basics well. The stiff scroll wheel, snappy click buttons, and freckled plastic glide easily across any surface. We didn’t have any problems with the Bluetooth connection, but beware that this mouse only works with Windows machines.

Microsoft claims that a single AA battery can last this mouse up to a year with regular use. The rugged plastic feels especially durable, making it easy to toss into your bag and go. At under four inches long, it’s best for users with smaller hands and a light grip; others may find its size to be a challenge.

Ultimately, this is a budget mouse that chooses to nail the basics rather than stretch itself too thin. While it doesn’t have extra programmable buttons or a crazy-high sensitivity, it’s easy to connect to a Windows PC, durable enough to take the tumbles of commuting, and cozy enough to use for a couple of hours at a time. If you’re just looking for a basic, reliable mouse to take everywhere you go, the Ocean Plastic Mouse is a great choice.

This mouse offers the bare minimum features and options, and it's also the lowest-priced option we tested.

The X3000 was also the smallest mouse we tested—it was even too small for our smaller-handed testers, but it might work for kids. There are no customization features or extra buttons on this, either, and you're stuck with only a click scroll wheel. Forget about tracking on glass—it won't work.

Apple's latest mouse is a great option for use with newer Apple computers (OS X v. 10.11 or higher). It will work with older systems (and Windows if you really want to). But you’ll need newer versions of OS X to get the mouse's greatest feature—the ability to use your finger to scroll directly on the surface of the mouse.

This unique scroll makes navigating long web pages feel nice, and it changed how we handled the mouse. We wound up using only a thumb and ring finger to control the mouse's movement, saving the middle and index fingers for scrolling and clicking.

The Magic Mouse 2’s battery recharges with an included Lightning cable. It automatically pairs with Apple computers when plugged in, saving you from fiddly Bluetooth settings. Like many Apple products, the price tag is high considering the number of high-end features and customization that are missing. If you're looking for an all-purpose mouse, this isn’t it, but Apple diehards will enjoy this mouse. Even our larger-handed brethren appreciated its feel and comfort.
