What to look for

  • Fit comes first: match the mouse size to your hand length and grip style.
  • Office users benefit from extra buttons and a fast scroll wheel; gamers benefit from low weight.
  • Bluetooth frees a USB port, while a receiver is more reliable in crowded wireless environments.
  • Rechargeable mice are convenient, but check whether you can use them while charging.

How much to spend

Typical prices run from £11 to £149. Budget models cover the basics; spending more usually buys magSpeed scroll wheel and quiet clicks. Only pay for features you will use.

Who should skip what

  • Skip the Logitech MX Master 3S if you have small hands or play competitive shooters
  • Skip the Logitech G PRO X if you want extra buttons for productivity or MMO games
  • Skip the Logitech Lift Vertical Ergonomic Mouse if you have large hands; it can feel cramped
  • Skip the Logitech M185 Wireless Mouse if you use a mouse for hours daily; a better-shaped model is worth the extra money

Buying tips

Logitech mice are among the most frequently discounted items during Prime Day, Black Friday and back-to-school sales. Logitech’s limited hardware warranty runs one to two years depending on the model, so register your mouse and keep the receipt.

Frequently asked questions

Are vertical mice better for your wrist?

They put your forearm in a handshake position, which many people find more comfortable. Give yourself a week to adjust.

Is the MX Master 3S good for gaming?

For casual games, yes. For competitive shooters, it is heavy; a light gaming mouse aims faster.

Why do people dislike the Magic Mouse?

Its flat, low shape is uncomfortable for long sessions, and the charging port is on the bottom, so you cannot use it while it charges.
