The Best Wireless Mouse of 2025

Our Picks of Wireless Mouse

Best Overall Wireless Mouse

Logitech MX Master 3S

Connection Options	Wireless and Bluetooth
Scroll Wheel	4D Infinite scroll toggle
Measured Weight i	141 grams
Available Software	Logi Options+
Adjustable Sensitivity Button	No

For people who want a powerful wireless mouse with premium features and plenty of customizable buttons, the Logitech MX Master 3S is a true stand-out. Not only is its ergonomic design and grip comfortable for just about all hand sizes, but it scored incredibly well across metrics like precision, click latency, and surfaces. Our team was impressed that it worked well on a polished white table with no mousepad and could even perform on clear glass, in a pinch. The MX Master 3S also supports fun features, like infinite scrolling and programmable buttons, via the brand's Logi Options+ software.

We were a little surprised that a more expensive and feature-rich mouse like this didn't come with dongle storage for its wireless connector, but this shouldn't be a dealbreaker for most users, especially those intending to connect the mouse via Bluetooth. It's also worth noting that the dedicated horizontal scroller has significantly more resistance than its vertical cousin on top. All in all, this is an amazingly capable and precise mouse with quiet clicks that'll impress heavy computer users and those seeking a comfortable, ergonomic design.

Best Bang for the Buck

Logitech M720 Triathlon

Connection Options	Wireless and Bluetooth
Scroll Wheel	4D Infinite scroll toggle
Measured Weight i	130 grams
Available Software	Logi Options+
Adjustable Sensitivity Button	No

If you like some of the top-notch features of our overall winner but prefer to stick to a stricter budget, the Logitech M720 Triathlon is a solid option at a great, wallet-friendly price. It comes with both Bluetooth and wireless connections (via a dongle that can be stored inside the mouse) and has a fun infinite scroll wheel that can be toggled on and off with a button on top. For those who really like to customize their workflow by programming each button to perform a specific task, this mouse is also supported by the great Logi Options+ software.

Our lead tester noted that this mouse's feet required a slightly stronger startup force than some mice we tested, but once it gets going, the M720 Triathlon glides incredibly easily on both mousepads and desk surfaces. Another con that stood out was that this mouse's top scroll wheel is a smidge more wiggly than some of its competitors. Still, it's a fantastic pick for people who want all of the primo features and included software that a top-tier Logitech mouse can provide.

Best Buy on a Tight Budget

TeckNet 2.4G Wireless Mouse

Connection Options	Wireless
Scroll Wheel	Standard
Measured Weight i	98 grams
Available Software	No
Adjustable Sensitivity Button	No

We get it. Not everyone needs a wireless mouse that comes with loads of bells and whistles. The TeckNet 2.4G Wireless Mouse is great for the active computer user who wants a comfortable, reliable mouse with decent grip and great, smooth gliding across a wide variety of different surfaces. For a budget-oriented mouse, our team was also impressed that the TeckNet offered fairly precise tracking that should be adequate for most users who aren't doing hardcore design or drawing work with it.

The plastic on this mouse does feel a bit cheaper than many more premium models we tested, and some of our team members mentioned that it has a harsher clicking sound when pressing its top two buttons. While this mouse does provide a comfortable scroll wheel, infinite scroll is not supported. For people who just want a simple, affordable wireless mouse for web browsing and word processing, the TeckNet 2.4G Wireless Mouse is a solid budget pick.

Best for Gaming and Browsing

Logitech G305 Lightspeed

Connection Options	Wireless
Scroll Wheel	Standard
Measured Weight i	95 grams
Available Software	Logitech G Hub
Adjustable Sensitivity Button	Yes

The Logitech G305 Lightspeed is a powerful, gaming-oriented computer mouse designed with the heavy user in mind. It boasts a powerful HERO sensor that's highly precise when performing detail-oriented tasks, like writing or drawing, and it has next-to-zero click latency. For those who like to fully build out their own custom workflow, this mouse comes equipped with the brand's proprietary G HUB software, which allows users to create a duplicate set of commands for each of their mouse buttons.

Unfortunately, this mouse does not sport the most ergonomic shape, and some testers noted that its design is a bit flat. It's also not a silent-click mouse, so this model might not be for computer users who are easily annoyed by lots of clicking noises. That being said, the Logitech G305 Lightspeed is a phenomenal, performance-oriented wireless mouse, built with precision and speed in mind.

Best for Ergonomic Diversity

Logitech Lift

Connection Options	Wireless and Bluetooth
Scroll Wheel	Standard
Measured Weight i	130 grams
Available Software	Logi Options+
Adjustable Sensitivity Button	Yes

Many daily computer users these days are looking for a wireless mouse that'll help them avoid repetitive strain injuries, and the Logitech Lift is an excellent, full-featured option for comfort-seeking readers. Not only did it perform incredibly well in our wider, tracking-oriented tests, but it was also great at precise, tiny movements. The Lift also offers users the ability to program up to 8 different button tasks, which is ideal for those who love an efficient, customized workflow.

Some of our testers wished that the Lift had a dedicated thumb rest area, like the MX Vertical does. Many also noted that the back and forward buttons on this mouse design are a bit on the stiffer side, when compared to others in this lineup. Still, the Logitech Lift is an excellent ergonomic mouse that helps heavy computer users to avoid strain by putting the active hand into a more natural “handshake-style” shape.

What's the Best Value?

Our testers were huge fans of the Logitech M720 Triathlon, because it provided many premium features, like customizable buttons, good grip, and amazing precision, at a wallet-friendly price. The TeckNet 2.4G Wireless Mouse is a solid runner-up in the budget category, especially for those who mostly use a mouse for simple tasks, like email and word processing. The most budget-friendly Logitech model we tested was the Logitech M185, which offered solid tracking at an affordable cost.

Comfort

To assess the comfort of each and every mouse in our lineup, we recruited a team of four different testers, each with different hand sizes. We assessed each mouse with a small-, medium-, large-, and extra-large-handed person so that they could give honest feedback about what worked and what didn't.

Comfort Survey

Product	Small Hand	Medium Hand	Large Hand	XL Hand
Logitech MX Master 3S	8.5	9	8	9
Logitech Lift	6	8	6	9
Logitech M720 Triathlon	7.5	6	7	8
Logitech G305	7	5	7	6
TeckNet 2.4G	6	6	6	6
HP X3000 G3	4	7	6	4
Razer Pro Click Mini	5	6	5	5
Logitech M185	5.5	6	3	4
Amazon Basics	4	3	5	5
Apple Magic Mouse	3	5	4	4

For all hand sizes, the Logitech MX Master 3S is a winner, even though it is on the bigger side. All of our testers loved the thumb rest and felt that it was supportive enough for a long day of work. Our tester with a small hand noted, “The shape is more ergonomic than others and acts like a rest for my hand,” while our extra-large-handed tester said, “This is my current daily driver and I love it.”

Petite mice, like the Logitech M720 Triathlon and the Logitech G305 worked well for smaller hand sizes, and even our large hand testers appreciated the lack of “pinching” to hold on to the G305. Slimmer, flatter mouse designs, like the Apple Magic Mouse, tended to only work for very small hands, and even our small-hand tester felt it was too low-profile.

The Logitech Lift was more favorable among our testers with larger hands. This is an ergonomic mouse, so it keeps your hand in a vertical position to reduce strain, which all of our testers appreciated.

Tracking and Performance

It is important that your mouse moves exactly where you want it without skipping or drifting. To test this, we took the SRAV% (Speed-Related Accuracy Variation) of each mouse. The closer the SRAV% value is to 0%, the more consistent the tracking will be, no matter how fast you move the mouse. The further away from 0%, the more the mouse is adding or subtracting from your movements. We also assessed click force and click latency for each wireless mouse. Click force measures the pressure it takes to press a button, while click latency measures how quickly the click is registered on your computer.

Many gaming-specific mice, like the Logitech G305 Lightspeed, provided almost zero click latency and had highly precise tracking with almost no SRAV% deviation. While it might be overkill for day-to-day browsing, for anyone who needs excellent precision and tracking, this is the mouse for you.

The Logitech Triathlon is another that did exceptionally well in tracking and precision. During our writing tests, we had no glitching or pulling as we wrote. The same was true for the MX Master 3S, though it didn't have one of the most impressive SRAV% in our testing. It still wowed us with its precision.

The Apple Magic Mouse has built-in acceleration with macOS by default, which seemed to cause problems for smaller movements, like making letters. Too little movement, it ends up a blob; too fast a movement, it ends up with big lines. For browsing, it does just fine. However, we could never find a great balance when using the mouse, especially on non-Apple computers.

The Logitech Lift was another mouse that had great precision and tracking. While its SRAV% isn't perfect, it is good enough for human eyes, and it did exceptionally well in our writing tests. For day-to-day and even more computer-heavy jobs, this mouse is a solid choice.

Scroll Wheel

A solid and easy-gliding scroll wheel is an important quality in a wireless mouse, and as such, we tested each model for both noise and resistance in our two main scroll wheel metrics: scroll wheel scrolling and scroll wheel pressing. Our testers noted that lower resistance merited a higher score, and quieter clicks earned top marks.

The Logitech Lift has our favorite scroll wheel of the bunch. Our team of testers noted barely any resistance and particularly loved the infinite scroll function.

Other considerations were made and noted when a mouse supported infinite or 4D and horizontal scrolling. Our overall winner, the Logitech MX Master 3S, even featured a dedicated horizontal scroll wheel that was separate from its top wheel, both of which were pleasant to use.

Some mice, like the Amazon Basics Wireless Mouse offered a more old-school scroll wheel that is quiet and easy to use.

The Apple Magic Mouse is silent when scrolling. Much like a touchscreen phone, you use your fingers to effortlessly glide around the webpage, as long as your hands aren't sticky.

Programmable Buttons

Many of the mice in our lineup came with additional software that allows users to program and customize different buttons to create a seamless workflow on their virtual desktop.

We first went through and looked to see if each mouse had an associated software. Then, we noted the number of buttons on each mouse and how many of those buttons were actually able to be customized. Wireless mice that supported additional programmable features, like gestures, earned higher scores, while mice that did not offer any custom buttons, like the HP X3000 G3, were scored lower in the list.

The Logitech MX Master 3S and M720 Triathlon are supported by the more than capable Logi Options+ software, which supports gestures and custom button actions. The Logitech G305 Lightspeed, being a gaming mouse, has fully customizable buttons: 5 without g-shift, 9 with g-shift.

In addition, our team liked the ability of the Apple Magic Mouse to perform gestures, even though its surface was slick and flat, compared to other mice.

Surfaces

To see how each mouse worked across a variety of unique surfaces, we tested each one on a normal mouse pad, a sheet of lined paper, a textured fiberglass desk, a fabric couch, a dining room table, a piece of cardboard, a clear glass surface, a polished white table, and an orange translucent table. We noted how well each mouse worked across the different surface types.

The most difficult surfaces for most wireless mice to perform accurately on were the clear glass surface and the polished white table. Only the Logitech MX Master 3S and Apple Magic Mouse worked decently well on these tricky surfaces. However, the MX Master 3S was the only mouse to confidently work on clear glass.

The Logitech Lift and G305 Lightspeed also worked on polished surfaces, but struggled with glass. If you have a glass table or desk, you might opt for a mousepad to counteract this.

Other notable mentions, like the Amazon Basics and HP X3000 G3 worked in normal locations, like a desk or mousepad, but don't cut it on polished surfaces.

Battery

Because many of the wireless mice in our testing rubric boasted battery lives of one or more years, we utilized the manufacturer's expected battery lifespan (on a single charge or single battery change) for this metric. We also made note of whether or not each mouse was rechargeable and if it came with batteries in the box.

There is a lot of value in rechargeable options, like the Apple Magic Mouse, especially with how frequently it needs to be charged. However, the charging port for this mouse is on its underside, making it unusable for the duration of its charge.

Some require new batteries, like the HP X3000 G3. This can be a pro or con depending on your preferences. The manufacturer suggests about a year of life for each round of batteries, so you'll just need to remember to have them on hand.

The Logitech lineup requires batteries to be replaced on occasion. The Logitech Lift claims to last for two years, and there are plenty of user reviews to back this claim. Still, batteries that need to be replaced roughly annually are much of an afterthought, and we think that factors like comfort and performance are much more worthy of your consideration.

Conclusion

Our in-house team of gear experts spent hundreds of hours assessing every mouse on this list via a series of scientific and daily use tests. We proliferated over each wireless mouse's overall comfort across different hand sizes, measured SRAV in our lab facility, and hooked up each device to a custom-made machine to measure click force.
