Best Logitech Wireless Mice of 2024
Best Logitech wireless gaming mouse
Logitech G502 X Plus
As is typical for a Logitech “S” product update, the compact MX Anywhere 3S wireless “mobile” mouse doesn’t look any different from its predecessor. It offers some performance upgrades, notably quieter operation and an upgraded 8,000 DPI optical sensor that Logitech says tracks on most surfaces including glass and offers faster workflow with high-resolution monitors. While those with larger hands may prefer something a little bigger, the MX Anywhere 3S is an excellent mouse for both at-home and travel use. It comes in three colors.

Like its "S" predecessors, Logitech’s new MX Master 3S mouse ($99, £120, AU$170) isn’t a fully redesigned new model but an incremental upgrade. Ergonomically unchanged, it features quieter operation and an upgraded 8,000 DPI optical sensor that Logitech says tracks on most surfaces including glass and offers faster workflow with high-resolution monitors.
You can zip through thousands of lines in seconds when you switch from ratchet to free-spin mode. This stylish mouse costs just less than $100, and it’s will be a much-welcomed upgrade for the student who wants a break from a stubborn trackpad.

Available in 3 color options, Logitech’s Pebble Mouse 2 M350S is latest version of its ambidextrous, slim, round-shape mouse that also comes in a step-down M340 version for $10 less (the M340 looks similar but comes in more color options). The M350S is the better option for most people. It can connect to 3 different devices simultaneously (it has Logitech’s Easy Switch feature), is Bluetooth-enabled and compatible with Logitech’s Logi Bolt USB receiver (not included), as well as Logi Options Plus software. While the M340 is designed for Windows and ChromeOS computers with a free USB-A port (the M340 come with a nano receiver), this model works with Windows, macOS, Linux, Chrome OS, Android and iPadOS devices.
Those with larger hands may find this mouse a little too small. Also, some people may not like how flat it is. But it makes for a good travel mouse and at least one person in our office uses this as her everyday mouse and has been happy with it. It’s certainly an upgrade over the built-in trackpad on most laptops and not only offers quiet clicks but performs smoothly thanks to its 400-4000 dpi optical sensor. While the MX Anywhere 3S is a superior mouse from an ergonomic, performance and features standpoint (it has more customizable buttons), the Pebble Mouse 2 M350S costs a good deal less.

While the Logitech M750 has a more traditional, legacy design compared to the company’s MX Series mice, it’s a compact mouse with solid ergonomics, a fairly robust feature set and good performance. The Signature AI Edition has a dedicated button that launches Logitech’s AI Prompt Builder and gives you quick access ChatGPT options rephrase, summarize and custom-made prompt recipes you create in the Logi Options Plus app for Windows and MacOS. While this mouse has Bluetooth, it’s really designed to be used with Windows and Mac computers and includes a Logi Bolt USB receiver.
The mouse is powered by a single AA battery, which offers up to 2 years of battery life, and you get a 4000 dpi optical sensor. Like the MX Anywhere 3S, this mouse may be a little small for folks with large hands, but it should fit small to medium sized hands nicely.

<div content="X – LIST ITEM" superlative="Vertical mouse" description="
Logitech makes a lot of mice and they’re all designed to be comfortable to use. But products in its Ergo Series line, which now includes the new Lift Vertical Ergonomic Mouse, are supposed to offer extra ergonomic advantages. In the case of the Lift, Logitech says its 57-degree vertical design "lifts your wrist into a more natural position" and "takes pressure off the wrist, while promoting a more natural forearm posture throughout the day."
One of the key differences between this model and the company’s first vertical mouse, the MX Vertical (released in 2018 for $100), is that the Lift is more compact and designed for people with small- to medium-size hands. Also, instead of using a rechargeable battery, it’s powered by a single AA battery that can last up to two years. Not using a rechargeable battery has allowed Logitech to make the Lift more affordable than its predecessor. It’s available in three colors as well as a left-handed version (available in graphite only).

<div content="X – LIST ITEM" superlative="Best Logitech wireless gaming mouse" description="
In 2022, Logitech updated it much-loved line of G502 gaming mice, modernizing them with optomechanical left and right mouse buttons, lighter weights and more, for better durability and speedier operation. The line includes two wireless models, the top-end G502 X Plus and G502 X Lightspeed, along with the wired-only G502 X.
All the mice have similar redesigns, with a less angular profile, as well as a relocated DPI-shift button that you can reverse or remove if you don’t need it or if it gets in the way of your thumb. A lighter wheel enables it to scroll faster in Hyperfast (infinite spin) mode, and lighter construction shaves off a significant amount of weight (the mouse weight 106 grams).
The left and right mouse buttons incorporate hybrid switches, which Logitech brands as Lightforce, with optical actuation for speed and durability, and physical electrical contacts to provide the tactile feel of a mechanical switch.
Wireless models are updated with a dual-device receiver (still no Bluetooth, if you’re wondering) and USB-C for charging, though they’re still compatible with the company’s PowerPlay wireless charging mats. Along with the lighter weight you get longer battery life: 140 hours for the Lightspeed and 130 hours for the Plus. The latter’s battery life is shorter because of its extensive RGB lighting.
Logitech’s similarly Pro X Superlight 2 is also an excellent gaming mouse. A popular esport mouse, it’s lighter (60 grams) and arguably better for first-person shooters (FPS). But we think the G502 X Plus is a tad more versatile and a slightly better everyday driver.

The line includes two wireless models, the top-end G502 X Plus and G502 X Lightspeed, along with the wired-only G502 X.
All the mice have similar redesigns, with a less angular profile, as well as a relocated DPI-shift button that you can reverse or remove if you don’t need it or if it gets in the way of your thumb. A lighter wheel enables it to scroll faster in Hyperfast (infinite spin) mode, and lighter construction shaves off a significant amount of weight (the mouse weight 106 grams).
The left and right mouse buttons incorporate hybrid switches, which Logitech brands as Lightforce, with optical actuation for speed and durability, and physical electrical contacts to provide the tactile feel of a mechanical switch.
Wireless models are updated with a dual-device receiver (still no Bluetooth, if you’re wondering) and USB-C for charging, though they’re still compatible with the company’s PowerPlay wireless charging mats. Along with the lighter weight you get longer battery life: 140 hours for the Lightspeed and 130 hours for the Plus. The latter’s battery life is shorter because of its extensive RGB lighting.
Logitech’s similarly Pro X Superlight 2 is also an excellent gaming mouse. A popular esport mouse, it’s lighter (60 grams) and arguably better for first-person shooters (FPS). But we think the G502 X Plus is a tad more versatile and a slightly better everyday driver.
