Nothing is worse than having your wireless mouse die when you need it most, only to realize you're out of fresh batteries. If you use a rechargeable mouse with a built-in battery, though, you can just plug it in and charge away. Wireless rechargeable mice are also more eco-friendly and convenient. We believe you'll never go back to a mouse that needs external batteries once you find a great rechargeable one. These are our picks for the best available.
Surface style and versatility
The Surface Precision Mouse is not-only rechargeable via micro-USB thanks to its Lithium-ion battery, which lasts up to three months on a single charge, it's packed with valuable features. It connects simultaneously via Bluetooth to up three different devices, its magnetic scrolling feature delivers precision that lives up to the mouse's name, and it has three customizable buttons that let you easily perform your most common tasks.
Portable and powerful
The MX Anywhere is the most compact and lightest mouse in this roundup, making it particularly well suited for travel. It works on just about any surface, and its "hyper-fast scrolling" makes it simple navigate lengthy site or documents. It connects via Bluetooth LE or using the included USB dongle. It pairs with three devices at once, and switching back and forth requires a single touch of a button, and you can cut and paste files between PCs. A full charge can last more than two months, and just three minutes of charging via the included Micro-USB cable delivers a day of use. It is also the most affordable rechargeable mouse on this list.
It's about the trackball, y'all
The MX Ergo's funky trackball is designed to decrease muscle strain by up to 20%, and along with the customizable angle and tilt between 0 and 20 degrees, this is one comfortable mouse. The built-in Lithium polymer battery delivers up to four months of life, and one minute of charging via the included micro-USB cable can yield a day of power. The scroll wheel has a useful tilt feature. A dedicated "precision mode" button lets you quickly change scroll speed and accuracy. And you can connect two devices at once, easily switch between them, and copy files on one PC and paste on another.
Master o' productivity
You can connect to multiple devices at once with the MX Master 2S (up to three at a time), easily switch between them, and copy files on one PC and paste them to another. A "hyper-fast scroll" feature lets you, well, quickly start scrolling fast. The MX Master lasts more than two months on a single charge of its Lithium-ion polymer battery, and it takes just three minutes to power it up for a day of work using the Micro-USB cord that comes with it. It can also connect wirelessly via Bluetooth LE or the included USB dongle. The 4000-DPi precision sensor means the mouse should work well on any surface. And it's available in three colours: black, light grey, and teal, though the latter two are more expensive.
Charge without wires
The G903 mouse can charge wirelessly while you game, using the Powerplay mouse pad (sold separately). It also charges via the included micro USB cable and connects via USB dongle and has customizable RGB lighting. Battery life isn't exceptional, and it gets about a day's worth of life on a charge (more if you don't use RGB lighting), but using the mat can alleviate all battery concerns. It's also quite light at just 110 grams, though an included weight can be added to give it a heavier feel. Tracking is accurate and responsive. The top and side buttons and scroll wheel are all exceptional, and the mouse itself is ambidextrous and ergonomically designed.
If we're making some suggestions
Rechargeable mice have advantages over their non-rechargeable counterparts, including the facts that they're more eco-friendly and don't require that you buy (and then discard batteries) every time you run out. They can save you money on batteries, and as long as you remember to charge them up regularly, they can be more convenient, too.
We appreciate and vouch for every mouse featured in this collection. You won't be disappointed with any of them. But if we had to pick just one to recommend, it would be the Surface Precision Mouse because it's packed with valuable features, the battery lasts a long time, and we're just big fans of the Surface look and feel. However, if you're looking for a wireless rechargeable travel mouse, you'll love the MX Anywhere 2S from Logitech.
