At heart, a computer mouse is simple hardware—a sensor on the bottom, two buttons and a scroll wheel on top—that lets you interact with programs as though they were extensions of your hand. But while a mouse is simple in concept, the market for them is a scattered field of mouse genres, prices, and designs. We’ve been testing PC mice at PCMag since the first computer pointers. Our analysts have used and reviewed a broad range; they assess each model on design, features, usability, supporting software, and overall value. Our overall current favorite mouse for productivity use is Logitech’s MX Master 3S, and for gaming, Razer’s DeathAdder V3 HyperSpeed. But we’ve gathered the best mice we’ve tested across even more categories, including budget and ergonomic models. See them all below, followed by a discussion of how to buy the right mouse, backed by a handy spec comparison.
