Best Wireless Mice 2021

A computer mouse is one of the most standard computer peripherals. Yet there is a broad selection of options that compete on both features and price. One of the key features that many users demand from a mouse is the ability to operate wirelessly. Within the subset of wireless mice, however, there’s still a huge variety and amount of choice. To help you pick a mouse, we’ve drawn up a list of the best wireless mice in 2021.

The Logitech MX Master 3 is the latest iteration of the MX Master series. It packs a huge array of features and configurability making it suitable for almost all scenarios. As with many of Logitech’s mice, it offers a smooth-scrolling mouse wheel. You can choose to toggle between ratcheted and smooth scrolling or have the change be automatic depending on how fast you scroll. As well as the common forward and back thumb buttons, it also offers a thumb scroll wheel.

The thumb rest has a configurable gesture button, which comes with a surprising array of presets for certain applications. The mouse itself can be configured to quickly switch between connections to up to three devices, it also supports “Flow”, which allows you to drag your mouse, and files, between up to three computers on the same network. The mouse sensor works on any surface including glass and reflective surfaces. The battery life is also top-tier, with 70 days on a full charge and up to three hours after just a single minute of fast charging with the included USB Type-C cable.

The Razer Pro Click targets the business and home user market rather than the gaming market with an ergonomic design created in collaboration with Humanscale. It allows you to pair with up to four devices and then switch between them with a button on the bottom. The placement of this button means you can’t accidentally press it, but it also means you need to pick up the mouse to switch devices, which could be inconvenient if you need to switch often or quickly.

The 50 million click lifespan of the mouse means that you don’t really have to worry about it wearing out from use. The 200- or 400-hour battery life should be more than enough for almost any use, but if you ever find yourself out of battery you can still use it while it’s charging via micro-USB. While you can save your preferred mouse settings, into an onboard profile, you only have one, you can’t switch between multiple device profiles.

The Logitech G502 Lightspeed is the wireless version of the well-respected G502 mouse. It comes with all of the same features, plus the ability to work and charge wirelessly, all for seven grams less than the original. While the 48-hour battery life may sound pretty weak in comparison to the other mice on this list, you should consider that with the (sold out) $120 Powerplay wireless charging mouse pad, it can actually run forever, as it can be charged wirelessly while in active use.

The optional weights allow you to adjust the weight and balance of the mouse by up to 16 grams, although you can’t use either of the larger two weights and the wireless charging module at the same time. The mouse can be configured with a sensitivity up to a frankly insane 25600 DPI, by far the highest on this list. The five onboard memory profiles make it easy to transfer your preferred settings to a new or borrowed computer.

The Logitech G Pro Wireless is one of the few mice designed for ambidextrous gamers. It offers four side buttons, two on each side, that can be swapped out and replaced with unobtrusive covers if preferred. The battery life is the same as the G502 Lightspeed, but it only charges via micro-USB.

The single-zone RGB lighting is entirely hidden by the hand when in use and has a noticeable effect on battery life. At $130, the price is very close to the G502 mentioned above, but the G Pro Wireless offers fewer buttons and doesn’t include extra features such as the unlockable scroll wheel, additional weights, and wireless charging. This will likely make it a bit of a hard sell for right-handed gamers, but lefties may appreciate that.

The Razer Naga Pro is the king of configurability with up to 19 mouse buttons that can be configured with two different functions each. While there is another configurable button on the bottom of the mouse, this should not be counted with the other configurable buttons because it is hardly compatible with normal mouse use, after all, who wants to flip the mouse every time you want to press a button. If an array of 12 side buttons is too much for your taste, you can swap out the side panel to one with 6 or 2 side buttons instead.

The optical mouse switches use light to determine when the button has been pressed rather than an electrical contact, they’re also rated for 70 million mouse clicks. The RGB lighting is configurable with Razer Chroma. The Naga Pro can be used while charging with the included micro-USB cable. Alternatively, it can be mounted on a Razer charging dock, sold separately.

This is our list of best wireless mice in 2021. We tried to select something for just about every purpose, let us know which mouse you picked, and if it’s one of the ones on this list.
