After researching 42 wireless mice and testing 14, we found that the Logitech M720 Triathlon Multi-Device Wireless Mouse is the best wireless mouse for most people because it is more comfortable to use than nearly every other mouse we tested, connects easily via a USB dongle or Bluetooth, and tracks well on most surfaces. Because of its tall, arched back, the Logitech Triathlon fit into our testers' hands nicely. It was more comfortable than similarly priced options. We never experienced any issues connecting it to both Mac and Windows laptops via USB dongle or Bluetooth, and it can pair with—and quickly switch between—three Bluetooth-compatible devices. Logitech claims that the Triathlon's battery can last for two years; we've been using the same mouse for about 15 months, and it has yet to die. It also has six programmable buttons you can customize using Logitech's Options software and a scroll wheel that toggles between ratcheted and freewheel scrolling. If the Logitech M720 Triathlon is unavailable, we recommend the Logitech M585 Multi-Device Wireless Mouse or the Logitech M590 Silent Wireless Mouse. Both mice have tall 1.6-inch-high backs, and our testers generally found they fit their hands as comfortably as the Triathlon even though they're a little smaller. They can connect through a USB dongle or pair with up to two devices via Bluetooth, unlike the Triathlon's three. Logitech claims that the battery will last for two years. The M585 and M590 have one fewer button than our top pick, and you can customize any of their five buttons with Options. While our panel preferred the Logitech M590's silent buttons, which still provide feedback without a loud, physical click, the mouse is not as widely available or as affordable as the M585. If you spend all day using a mouse, we recommend the Logitech MX Master 2S Wireless Mouse for its comfortable design, its buttons, and its secondary thumb scroll wheel. Since it's nearly a half-inch wider and longer than the Triathlon, our panel found it comfortable for all grips and hand sizes, especially those with bigger hands. It's more than twice as expensive, but it did track even more precisely than the Triathlon in our testing. Like the Triathlon, it can connect to and switch between up to three devices via Bluetooth or dongle. The MX Master 2S has a rechargeable battery that can last for about two months on a single charge. It has six programmable buttons—as many as the Triathlon—that can be customized with Logitech Options software, and it offers a second scroll wheel for your thumb. The Logitech MX Master 3S Wireless Mouse has improved button placement below the thumb scroll wheel, and it's a tad more comfortable to use, but at the time of this writing it's too expensive to recommend over the 2S. If the price drops below $85, it's the best mouse for people who spend all day using one. Our portable pick is the Logitech Anywhere 2S Wireless Mouse. The Anywhere 2S is smaller than most mice we tested—and its back arch was about a half-inch shorter than the Triathlon's—but we found that it was still really comfortable to use over long periods of time. Like all of our picks, it can connect via USB dongle or Bluetooth; it can wirelessly connect with up to three devices. Like the MX Master 2S, the Anywhere 2S has a rechargeable battery that can last for around two months before you'll need to recharge it. It has five programmable buttons (one is hiding behind its scroll wheel), and it offers Options software for you to customize each button to your liking.
