Hello!

I was unsure where to post this question, but I figure that this community is as good of a place as any.


I am looking for wireless mouse suggestions. I currently use a Lenovo ThinkPad Bluetooth mouse “MOBTC9LA”. It is fine and serves its purpose, but it is horribly small and uncomfortable as well as wasteful in regards of using AA batteries.

My basic requirements are wireless and preferably rechargeable via USB C, but micro USB is okay if USB C isn’t available. I would also prefer if it were Bluetooth. I see a few listed online, but I was hoping for a real human suggestion as opposed to sifting through paid off and fake reviews.

Thanks in advance for any guidance!

Mods if this is the wrong community let me know and I will move on.

    I used a Logitech Master MX for years, and when that finally broke I got a Master MX 3S. I don’t know anything about gaming mice, but I know this isn’t one. I only use it for office work, and for that I think it’s good. It’s comfortable for me. It charges by USB C, and the battery lasts a long time - I’d guess at least a month of daily use. It can use a USB radio transmitter or Bluetooth. I avoid Bluetooth whenever possible, so I don’t use that mode, but I assume it works as well as an other Bluetooth device. I like the continuous scrolling mode on the wheel, but you can change it to click.

    I’ve been happy with my Razer gear.

    I have a old Razer Mamba, they probably have a newer model by now. I’m starting to have some issues with the mouse wheel but I think just needs cleaned.

    Do you have a preferred grip, shape or size? Any button layout or functionality requirments (side scroll, browser front back, infinite scroll wheel, thumb button etc)? I don’t use one myself but I’ve heard some nice things about the roccat kone pro air.

    I personally use a gently modded Logitech g903.

      Just a standard mouse. I have bigger hands, so a larger one would be nice. No extra features are required but a DPI button, forward/back buttons, et cetera are fine.

      Thank you for your response.

      Edit: just checked out your suggestion. Looks like it ticks all the major marks, just is a bit expensive new. Going to see what the used ones go for.

        I see, good to know.

        I have a friend who picked one up on sale. They’re not too happy with the overall shape as it’s a bit too big for them.

        As for its performance as a gaming mouse, he tends to carry in apex 😅

        Hope you can find one at a reasonable price, though I’m sure there’s decent alternatives on the market.

    Really depends on your use case beyond basic requirements. I like the logitech 502 or razer basilisk for gaming, but for daily work I use the logitech mx vertical.

    I use a Logitech G502 Lightspeed, the original one. And I love it like crazy. Especially because it comes with a bunch of weights to make it heavier.

    People might shop around for the lightest mouse imaginable. Me, I want a brick. And the 502 can be both. Sorta.
