With remote work and work from home becoming very popular in recent years, it’s essential to have good tools to do your job. If you use a computer of any kind for your work, your keyboard, mouse, headset, monitor, and computer are your tools. All the mice on this list are wireless for a reason, there are very few reasons not to get a wireless mouse. They are built better, with better connectivity and battery life than the mice of the before time, the long long ago.

Really, really quiet
Horizontal scroll wheel goes brrrrr
Ergonomic – still looks like a mouse

- Silent switches are great for your own sanity (or those around you)
- Ergonomic without being weird about it
- A Super convenient horizontal scroll wheel, really it will change your life if you work with photos, videos, or Excel
- Bluetooth (low energy, no confirmation on version) or Logi Bolt receiver (USB dongle) to keep your area tidy and easy to put away if you are into that sort of thing
- USB-C for charging/wired use, as all things should be
- Flow software to control, copy, and paste between Operating Systems like your laptop and desktop PC
- 8K DPI Sensor to track on most household surfaces so that you can be mobile

Affordable

Simple
- “12-month” battery life from a single AA battery. Set it and forget it! … for a year
- Super compact and light
- Ambidextrous
- I’ve used this mouse before, even with my monster hands it was decently comfortable in a claw grip. If you have smaller hands, this is the mouse for you!

- Really not much else to say about this little buddy of a mouse, it’s minimalistic and a great value
