Best Wireless Mouse 2026: Our top choices

If you’re truly obsessed with getting the best PC gaming experience possible, then it’s fair to say that budgeting shouldn’t factor into it.

Case in point, even though the Razer DeathAdder V4 Pro has a higher-than-average price tag that might make some gamers do a double-take, it is by far one of the best gaming mice available on the market right now, and it is very much worth the expense.

Even just to read the specs for the Razer DeathAdder V4 Pro, you know it means business. This mouse is packed with a 45,000 DPI sensor, an 8000Hz polling rate and is also built using optical switches, so you’re getting a super fast experience that practically eradicates any feeling of input delay, even though it’s using a wireless set-up.

For twitch gameplay that requires you to be locked in at all times, the V4 Pro can help you to match that intensity.

If you’ve got a long night of gaming in mind, then you won’t have to worry about the battery dying out in the middle of gameplay. On a single charge, the V4 Pro can run for up to 150 hours at a time, which more than has you covered. Of course, if you’d rather leave absolutely nothing up to chance, then you can use the USB-C port to establish a connection very quickly.

Given that the aforementioned battery life practically implores you to really kick back and enjoy a long session of gaming, it’s great to see that Razer has paid just as much attention to beefing up the ergonomics of the build at hand. Our tester found the V4 Pro to be very comfortable in hand, ensuring that no moments of irritation appeared whilst gaming.

For anyone who likes to get quite granular with their inputs, you can configure almost anything on the DeathAdder V4 Pro thanks to Razer’s Synapse 4 software. It allows you to tweak the polling rate, DPI and even remap the buttons on the mouse to match your preferred playing style. For the true gamers out there, the Razer DeathAdder V4 Pro isn’t just a luxury; it’s a must-have accessory.

Even though Asus has no shortage of amazing gaming mice in its wares, sometimes they can be a bit cumbersome for those with smaller hands. Luckily, the company is already one step ahead of the issue as the Asus ROG Harpe Ace Mini (as its name implies) has been designed specifically with smaller handed gamers in mind.

Weighing in at just 49g, this wireless mouse is easy to move around for quick turns or for a bit more precision when firing down the scope. Complementing its smaller frame is a contoured shape that allows it to feel comfortable in the hand, even after long periods of play.

What’s arguably most impressive is that, in spite of its stature, the ROG Harpe Ace Mini still brings all of the key tools to the table that you’d expect from an Asus gaming mouse. There’s a 42,000 DPI sensor on board this thing which paves the way for high levels of accuracy when in the middle of a firefight, and the optical switches are much quicker in their response time than more typical mechanisms.

In addition to performance, there’s no setback when it comes to battery life either. You can get up to 139-hours of use from a single charge, which is more than enough to get you through plenty of gaming sessions and then some. There’s also a case to be made that with that battery life in tow, alongside the mouse’s overall portability, that it’s handy for gamers who also like to get a bit of work done down their local cafe.

If you’re feeling ready to show off a bit more flair then the accompanying ROG Armoury Crate software has you covered. Once the mouse is connected, you have access to four-stage adjustable DPI, not to mention customising the RGB lighting and angle snapping. For all that you get here, the Ace Mini is a mighty mouse in a miniature frame.

The Logitech MX Master 3S is, in our view, the best wireless mouse for productivity. It features an 8000 DPI sensor, which is double the sensitivity of the older Master 3, and made for an especially snappy experience for day-to-day working during testing.

In addition, the MX Master 3S also comes with the powers of both Bluetooth and Logi Bolt receiver connectivity, which means you have two ways of connecting the mouse up, and there’s also support for up to three devices, with switching being a doddle during testing thanks to the button on the mouse’s underside.

The battery life here remains unchanged with the last generation, but is still certainly brilliant – it should last for a quoted 70 days on a full charge. And one quick minute of charging via the bundled USB-C cable gives you three hours of playtime.

The design here remains practically identical to the older MX master 3, retaining the tall stature and rubberised coating that offers both modern looks and a mouse that’s especially comfortable to hold over long periods of time. The only real difference when it comes to design is that Logitech has bundled Quiet Click buttons with the Master 3S that offer a dampened sound, which is ideal if you’re someone who doesn’t want to annoy any co-workers.

The MX Master 3S works with Logitech’s rather clever Options+ software, which offers a handy means of remapping buttons and mouse functions, both for general use, as well as with app specific presets, which is clever. With that being said, perhaps the most clever thing here is the return of Logi Flow. Flow is a feature that allows you to drag and drop documents from one operating system to another, as long as the mouse is connected to two different channels, and the devices you’re using are on the same networks. In testing, with a MacBook Pro and Windows 11 PC, it worked without a hitch and offered quite a boost to productivity.

If you want an affordable yet still reliable mouse for both productivity tasks and gaming, then the SteelSeries Rival 3 Wireless Gen 2 is a brilliant choice. Although at 106g, it’s certainly not as lightweight as the Razer DeathAdder V4 Pro, the Rival 3 Wireless Gen 2 feels comfortable and reassuringly durable in hand.

The two main mouse buttons feature mechanical switches underneath for a tactile feel, while below the scroll wheel is a button for changing DPI. There’s also thin navigation buttons on the left hand side of the mouse too, although they can be a little fiddly to press.

Underneath are large PTFE glide pads that allow the Rival 3 Wireless Gen 2 to perform large sweeping movements with ease. There’s also a single button underneath which is for both selecting on/off and Bluetooth/2.4Ghz mode.

With 18,000 DPIs, the Rival 3 Wireless Gen 2 is suitable for fast-paced movements during intensive titles. There’s also a 1000Hz polling rate which is perfectly sufficient for casual play, although more pro-gamers might want to look elsewhere. Sure, it’s not as high as the Razer DeathAdder V4 Pro but remember this mouse is considerably cheaper.

Rather than relying on charging, the Rival 3 Wireless Gen 2 is powered by AAA batteries which SteelSeries promises will provide up to 200 hours over 2.4GHz or up to 400 hours over Bluetooth.

You can also download SteelSeries GG on both Windows and macOS which allows you to remap the mouse’s buttons, record macros and adjust its DPI. There’s also some handy extras including a high-efficiency mode too.

Just note that, perhaps unsurprisingly given its budget price, there isn’t any RGB lighting to speak of.

Otherwise, if you want a reliable, powerful and easy to use mouse that won’t cost a fortune, you’d be hard pressed to find a better option than the SteelSeries Rival 3 Wireless Gen 2.

Logitech makes some great productivity-focused full-size peripherals but, for those with small hands or those on the go, the Logitech MX Anywhere 3S is the one to go for. We reckon it’s the best travel mouse.

Costing £89.99/$79.99 this is a mouse to last you for years, with a sturdy and compact body that can be easily slung in a bag. It weighs just 99 grams and comes in at postiviely miniscule measurements of 65 x 34.4 x 100.5mm. Despite its small size, you get a solid 8000 DPI sensor, which is plenty of accuracy for an productivity mouse. It works great across many surfaces too.

Along with the handy Logitech Options+ software for customising your experience, you get useful dual modes of connectivity through Bluetooth and the Logi Bolt receiver.

The Logitech Lift is an excellent choice if you’re after a wireless mouse that also spares a thought for the true comfort of long working hours.

As the name suggests, and as the chassis demonstrates, this is more of an ergonomic choice given it offers a much more raised, handshake-style position than a standard mouse. During testing, the Lift proved to be more comfortable than other mice we’ve used in the past and did an excellent job of alleviating any wrist strain we would otherwise usually get towards the end of a working day.

Inside, the Logitech Lift comes with up to 4000 DPI’s worth of sensitivity, which is plenty for general office work, and the sensitivity proved to be more than enough to suit its use case during testing. Much like a lot of Logitech’s other products, the Lift comes with the brand’s Easy Switch function that makes switching between up to three connected devices an absolute doddle. Having this within such easy reach is especially handy if you’re someone who often works with multiple devices at once.

There are also two means of connecting the Lift to a device, either through Bluetooth or the bundled USB receiver, giving you even more control. Unlike Logitech’s more premium peripherals, there isn’t a rechargeable battery inside the Lift, as it’s powered by a AA battery which Logitech says can allow the mouse to last for up to 24 months. It works with Logi+ Options which provides customisation for changing the DPI and mapping out button inputs, which is especially useful.

The Asus ROG Keris II Ace weighs just 54g, making it our top recommendation for those in need of a lightweight wireless mouse.

This mouse isn’t just lightweight, its also very comfortable with a tall design that feels natural in the hand. It might not boast the most eye-catching design, but as far as comfort goes, the Keris II Ace is top-tier, with the mouse’s weight making it perfect for dragging around and lifting during long work days and extended gaming sessions. It also comes with grip tape, which you can add if you feel you need it.

The mouse features Asus’ ROG AimPoint Pro optical sensor and a 130-hour battery life over Bluetooth, though this drops to 100 hours when using a 2.4Ghz connection. The latter also supports 4000Hz polling, while the mouse can reach 8000Hz over a wire.

We tested the Keris II Ace alongside a range of titles, including Overwatch 2, Diablo IV and Helldivers 2 and experienced no drop in tracking during or wireless play, with the short travel of the microswitch buttons enabling ultra-fast clicks while providing enough resistance to prevent any accidental shots.

Anyone seeking a comfortable office mouse should seriously consider the Logitech MX Master 4. While its predecessors are still brilliant options, Logitech has fitted the MX Master 4 with thoughtful improvements and tweaks which make it excellent to use in day-to-day work life. 

The MX Master 4 sports a more prominent rubber texturing which we found enabled the mouse to feel the most comfortable of the collection. However, at 150g it’s pretty weighty so gamers should look at the Razer DeathAdder V4 Pro instead. 

Alongside the gesture buttons and navigation buttons, there’s a new addition coined Action Ring which can be customised via the Options+ software. Essentially it’s a shortcut, and allows you to quickly open compatible apps or take a screenshot with just a tap. 

The Options+ software also allows you to customise inputs, changing the DPI levels and much more. 

Speaking of DPI, you’ll get the same 8000 DPI sensor as the MX Master 3S which offers accurate and zipping tracking for productive uses. You can also connect the mouse to three devices at once, making this a true multi-tasking hero.

Annoyingly, there’s nowhere to store the MX Master 4’s receiver on-board, so you’ll have to make sure you find a safe place for it.

The Logitech MX Master 4 is a brilliant office mouse which, thanks to its ergonomic design, zippy sensor and promise of up to 70 days charge, allows for even more comfortable working.
