Wireless mice

This category contains wireless mice for laptops and desktop computers: office, travel, ergonomic and gaming models with a 2.4 GHz receiver, Bluetooth or both. Over 900 models from Logitech, Lenovo, HP, ASUS and Dell suit students, office staff and anyone who is tired of a cable across the desk.

How to choose a wireless mouse

Connection type. A mouse with a USB receiver works with any computer that has a free USB port and usually responds quickly. A Bluetooth mouse needs no receiver, which helps on a slim laptop with few ports. Our range includes receiver-only, Bluetooth-only and dual-mode mice, and the dual-mode kind lets you switch quickly between a work PC and a laptop or tablet.

Power source. Most wireless mice in our range run on replaceable AA or AAA batteries. AA cells last longer but make the mouse heavier, while AAA suits lighter designs. Some models have a built-in rechargeable battery that you top up by cable, so there are no spare batteries to buy. A few can also be used plugged in.

Shape and size. Symmetrical mice suit both left and right hands, while right-handed ergonomic shapes put less strain on the wrist over long working days. Left-handed models are rare, so look for them early. Large hands are more comfortable with a full-size mouse, while a small, light one is easier to carry.

Buttons and scroll wheel. Three buttons are enough for everyday browsing. Models with five to seven buttons add back and forward keys or a DPI switch, which helps with spreadsheets and long documents. Nearly all mice have a scroll wheel, and only a few use a trackball or touch surface.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a USB receiver mouse and a Bluetooth mouse?

A receiver mouse uses one USB port but connects at once and works with almost any computer. A Bluetooth mouse needs no receiver, but the computer must support Bluetooth and the mouse has to be paired first. If you switch between devices often, choose a model with both connections.

What batteries do wireless mice use?

Most use AA or AAA batteries, and some models have a built-in rechargeable battery. The exact type is given in each product listing. AA batteries generally last longer, but they make the mouse heavier.

Is a wireless mouse good enough for gaming?

A basic office mouse is fine only for casual games. For fast shooters, a gaming model is the better choice, because sensor accuracy and low response time matter. Our range includes some wireless gaming mice, though most models are office and general-purpose mice.

Which wireless mouse is best for left-handed users?

A symmetrical (ambidextrous) mouse is the best option, because its shape and buttons are not made for the right hand alone. Most models in our range are symmetrical, while mice built specifically for left-handed use are few. Ergonomic right-handed mice are usually uncomfortable in the left hand.
