Bluetooth mouse gaming review

The battery will last for up to 70 days on a full charge, and a quick three-minute charge of the battery can get you through a workday. It's also comfortable to use the buttons despite its small size and, perhaps most importantly, it can be used on just about any surface, including glass -- so don't worry about a mouse pad.

The MX Anywhere 3 comes in a couple of versions. Shipping soon, both mice are available in pale gray and the MX Anywhere 3 with the USB port dongle is also offered in rose and graphite. Like a lot of ergonomic office products, companies that make ergonomic mice aim for the largest group of potential vertical mouse users. But by doing that, they're inevitably leaving out a number of people whose hands are too small or too large for the mouse, they're only made for right-handed users or both.

The Unimouse is the rare option that'll really work for just about anyone. The wireless mouse is available for left and right hands it's available in a wired version, too and has a crazy amount of adjustability to create a custom fit for your hand.

The top part of the body starts at a degree angle, but its friction hinge lets you lift it up to a degree angle -- or anywhere in between -- that puts it into more of a handshake position. Its ball-mounted thumb support cradles your thumb and can be rotated and tilted to whatever position is most comfortable for you. Also, it's on a telescoping post so you can use a wider or narrower grip. The post can also be moved forward and backward. There are six programmable buttons: left, middle, right, scroll click, forward and back.

I appreciated having the additional button on top once my muscle memory adjusted to it , but the forward and back button placement was just a little too far back on the body for me to use comfortably.

The included app is basic but gets the job done letting you reprogram buttons and adjust cursor scroll speeds. DPI can be set from to in increments of with the software or a button on the mouse. You can also set up application-specific profiles with the app. If you're ready to give an ergonomic mouse a try, the Unimouse's customizable design is tough to beat.

The MX Master 3 combines the customization of a gaming mouse in a comfortable fingertip grip, wireless design made for getting work done. Logitech's software makes it easy to set the five programmable buttons that's a lot of buttons, but there's a button on the bottom and more on the thumb rest and thumb scroll wheel of the MX Master to handle a variety of tasks, from taking screenshots to controlling media.

Compared to the older MX Master 2S, the new model is more comfortable with better button placement. It has smoother, faster and more precise scrolling -- great for long spreadsheets -- as well as faster USB-C charging. It can be used with a cord, or wireless via Bluetooth or the included Unifying USB adapter, and it supports connections to up to three computers; the button on the bottom lets you quickly switch between connections. The mouse also supports the Logitech Flow feature, letting you move your cursor between computers on the same network.

This mouse provides superb battery life for long gaming sessions. It's expensive but worth it. The MX Master 2S is almost as good and available for less. Trackballs seem to get overlooked but, going by the comments on this story, that's a big mistake. Logitech options like the Logitech MX Ergo and the Kensington Orbit offer more comfort but the same control you'd get with a regular mouse.

Plus, since it stays stationary, you don't need extra desk space for movement and it can be used on any surface. Logitech's latest Ergo Trackball won us over with its new sculpted shape that fits a wider variety of hand sizes and a lower price than the MX Ergo.

That said, the MX Ergo has a sturdier, more solid feel and can be paired to two devices simultaneously. Lunar Artefacts designed this wireless mouse to essentially be the last mouse you'll ever need. The body of the mouse is made from hand-polished brass or aluminum I tested the latter , offering you two weight options. The removable cover is cut from full-grain calf leather finished with equestrian-inspired stitching. Both are designed to wear and patina over time and get more attractive as opposed to the average plastic mouse which eventually just gets gross.

It has a more consistent sensor and a higher maximum CPI, but it has fewer programmable inputs, higher click latency, lower-quality feet, and it's somewhat heavier than the Razer.

However, the Viper Ultimate has a lower lift-off distance, a more consistent sensor, and is lighter than the DeathAdder. Its scroll wheel unlocks to a free scroll mode, and it has more programmable inputs than the Viper Ultimate. It's much heavier and bulkier, and the feet don't provide as smooth of a gliding experience as the Viper Ultimate. See our review Razer Atheris: The Razer Atheris is a very small mouse that's travel-oriented and has Bluetooth support.

Its sensor is more consistent, and it has a lower lift-off distance; however, the Razer Naga Pro has more programmable inputs, much higher quality feet, and is lighter and less bulky. However, its click latency isn't as low as the Razer Viper Ultimate.

However, its CPI is only adjustable by steps of , and its lift-off distance is high compared to the G It has a more consistent sensor, and it's a good fit if you prefer a wider and bulkier mouse, but it's much heavier, and it doesn't have as many buttons. See our review Finalmouse Starlight Small: The Finalmouse Starlight Small is the lightest mouse we've tested, and it performs very well overall.

Unfortunately, it doesn't have customization software, and it's currently only available through third-party resellers, making it difficult to find at a reasonable price. It also has Bluetooth support, which the Logitech lacks, and it has a thumb rest, which is a rare feature for such a lightweight mouse. Having said that, the Tsmine offers better ergonomic comfort than the Fenifox though it's not as slim, which is why the Fenifox took the best in the category for travel.

Choose the Tsmine if you like a slim, affordable travel mouse but want a bit more comfort than the smallest travel options. Given that a more Apple-specific product made it to the award list, we wanted to make sure we gave some focus to PC-specific mice as well. Microsoft did an excellent job creating a mouse that offers simplicity yet functionality with four-way scrolling, and their windows button doubles as a touchpad for forward-back paging and as a programmable button.

Additionally, the connectivity is reliable and consistent with other award-winning mice; this mouse is very easy to connect via Bluetooth and maintains a connection. Additionally, the Windows button didn't respond consistently when used as a touchpad. We loved the idea of a button that doubles as a touchpad but found it to be a setback in our features metric, given its variable functionality.

You'll be happiest with the Arc if you are a PC-user wanting four-way scrolling and a thumb touchpad. The Logitech M wins our award for the most versatile mouse. It connects simply and easily to any device and has a shape that is friendly enough to use at home or on the road, which we found to be somewhat of a rare size. It offers a reliable connection, and we didn't experience any latency issues.

The M is travel-friendly, which also doesn't make it the most ergonomic mouse. Having said that, this offers far more comfort than the Fenifox, which put all of its eggs in the travel basket rather than diversifying with more ergonomics. The M is best for those seeking a true all-around mouse from a reputable manufacturer. The Microsoft Arc is the only mouse in this review that is a true folding option.

When not in use, this mouse can be completely flattened, fitting almost anywhere your heart desires, though it's still not as compact as the Fenifox Slim Mini.

The touchpad style design is an excellent feature, boasting the ability to scroll in four directions with the swipe of a finger — similar to the Apple Magic Mouse. The touchpad also gives the mouse a clean and sleek look. The Arc Mouse is one of the most expensive mice in the review and unfortunately lacks the value that other pricey mice like the Apple Magic Mouse offers. The sensor occasionally lagged when testing the mouse on a plastic kitchen table, and we found the touchpad to be a bit lethargic when side-scrolling.

For smaller hands, the unfolded position caused a relatively acute angle in the wrist and encouraged fatigue even in shorter sessions. The Arc has its quirks, but large-handed shoppers seeking a foldable mouse with a ton of features will be happy with it. This gives users the most options available in the wireless mouse market. This connectivity also allows one to switch between three different computers, and while that might constitute specialized use, this capability is quite rare among Bluetooth mice.

While this mouse has a slimmer design, it still offers ergonomic support and is encased in a rubber coating that reduces sweating, at least relative to mice with a glossy finish. The Vssoplor is a decently built mouse, but turning the mouse upside down to switch connections on the bottom of the mouse takes away from some of its functionality. For many, switching back and forth between different computers may not be a dealbreaker, but a slight design switch in the future is something we hope to see from Vssoplor.

This mouse is for you if you're wanting the option of connecting with Bluetooth or a dongle on one single device. Spearheading the testing and research of this review is Zach Joseph. Zach has spent the better part of a decade in administrative roles for a variety of different companies in the outdoors industry when not working in the field. These administrative roles have involved heavy mouse use in content management, graphic design, and extensive photo editing. Zach has a great deal of experience in the mouse world and brings a wealth of knowledge.

We tested each mouse by running them through the paces of four types of computer uses from a computer game to audio engineering, to photo editing, to general use of sending emails and navigating through work calendars. We've included a series of metrics by which we've tested each contender and report on our findings. To determine the best mice, we created five metrics to weigh each mouse against one another.
