Apple's Classic Mouse: Is Every Little Thing It Does, Indeed, Magic?
The Magic Mouse is perfectly fine, but it's not outstanding. It has some weird quirks other devices simply don't, the biggest one being that you need to flip it over to charge it. (Most wireless mice have charging ports on the front edge, so you can keep using them while they're plugged in. Not the Magic Mouse.) And if you want to go beyond the basics for increased productivity, improved ergonomics, or hard-core gaming, mice from other manufacturers more effectively cater to those needs.
Many elite productivity mice allow you to connect wirelessly to multiple computers and quickly switch between or among them. Also, in the gaming world, customization is very important, and it can be helpful to have extra buttons for hotkeys or custom commands. And if long-term computer use has taken its toll and you feel pain when holding a mouse, a vertical mouse or a wrist-stilling trackball can help reduce strain on your hand and wrist.
Each of these categories is a world unto itself, with its own specific qualities and eccentricities. To find out more about what makes them great (and how to pick the right one), also check out our guides to the best mice, the best gaming mice for Macs, and the best ergonomic mice.
Hi
I'm looking for a mouse for a MacBook Pro M1. I thought I would buy the Logitech Master 3s for Mac because it has a lot of options I'd like, but when researching a lot of people are complaining about lag when moving the cursor. So could you help me with the best options? What I'm looking for:
Work seamless with Apple ecosystem
Wireless through bluetooth
Preferably chargeable with USB-C
Design/color/... doesn't matter, only functions
Price doesn't really matter
Thanks in advance!
