One of the best ways to give you more freedom while using your desktop computer or laptop is to use a wireless mouse instead of a wired one. Since you're free from the usual restrictive cord, a wireless mouse allows you to create any mouse setup that you want without having to worry about measuring physical distance. One of the most well-renowned developers of wireless mice is Logitech, a company that has long been a dominant entity in the PC accessories development market. Out of all of Logitech's mice, we think that the Logitech MX Master 2S (opens in new tab) is the best one because of its excellent balance between comfort, functionality, and price.
Best Overall: Logitech MX Master 2S
The Logitech MX Master 2S is a little bit of everything that you could ever want out of a wireless mouse. Its physical design is incredibly comfortable and will fit your hand well thanks to its ergonomic shape and special thumb rest, making it great to use for long periods of time (even if the thumb rest may feel weird for some used to a more traditional design). The mouse's sensor is accurate and reliable, and the device is capable of up to 4,000 DPI, which will please both gamers and people that struggle to move their cursor around. The scroll wheel also has customizable speeds, which can help you get through extremely long web pages or sift through several menus in a jiffy.
The battery life lasts for about two-and-a-half months, which, while not top of the line, is still a good result compared to many other wireless mice. The Logitech MX Master 2S is also capable of connecting via either Bluetooth or USB receiver, which means that it will work on pretty much any computer. The connection itself is stable and strong, so you won't need to worry about issues there either. Lastly, the price is balanced and fair; you won't feel like you're overpaying in any way.
Best Gaming: Logitech G502 Gaming Mouse
The Logitech G502 Gaming Mouse is Logitech's best premium device when it comes to gaming. It's got an incredible "lightspeed" sensor that is hyper accurate (which is very helpful for every game) and the mouse is capable of reaching a ridiculous 16,000 DPI, which is an incredible result.
The mouse also has 11 customizable buttons and the same adjustable scrolling speed feature that the Logitech MX Master 2S has, and both of these features can help you dominate the competition in-game in various ways. The aesthetic of the mouse itself is strikingly angular too, and features special RGB lighting. It's a pricey device, but you get what you pay for.
Best Vertical: Logitech MX Vertical Mouse
The Logitech MX Vertical Mouse is perfect if you're afflicted with carpal tunnel or a similar condition, or if you simply want to reduce the chances of developing it in the future. Due to its vertical design and soft, velvety materials, this mouse is comfortable to use and doesn't put any strain on your muscles.
Like the Logitech MX Master 2S, it also can be connected with either USB receiver or Bluetooth, giving you plenty of connection options. The sensor on the device isn't perfect, but it's still accurate, and it's capable of 4,000 DPI, which is incredible considering most vertical mice don't break past the 2,000 mark. In addition, its battery lasts for about two weeks on a full charge. Lastly, it simply looks amazing, featuring a sleek, elegant aesthetic.
Best Portable: Logitech MX Anywhere 2S
The Logitech MX Anywhere 2S is essentially a Logitech MX Master 2S with a less ergonomic design, a smaller frame, and a lower price tag. It's got the same scrolling speed adjustments, DPI range, dual connectivity options (USB or Bluetooth) and battery life, but trades the larger and more comfortable shape for something smaller and more compact. This means that, like the "Anywhere" name suggests, this mouse is best for laptop owners that need a mouse they can take with them anywhere without any hassle.
Best Battery Life: Logitech Marathon
The Logitech Marathon mouse trades nearly everything that the other mice on this list have for one thing: extreme battery life. Though this mouse isn't nearly as comfortable to use as other options on this list and also fails to achieve the same amazing sensor accuracy performance as mice like the Logitech MX Master 2S, it's capable of lasting up to three years on a full battery charge. It does come with adjustable scroll speed, though, and it has a rock bottom price.
Ultimately, if you're looking for something that can go the distance and keep on going after that, this is the mouse for you.
Bottom line
Logitech's wireless mice come in all different types of shapes and sizes, and each one will appeal to people differently depending on what they need out of a mouse. At the end of the day, though, we think that the Logitech MX Master 2S (opens in new tab) is Logitech's best wireless mouse due to its incredible balance between comfort, functionality, and pricing. If you're looking for a mouse that can do it all and won't break the bank to boot, the Logitech M Master 2S is right up your alley.
