Amazon Basics Wireless Computer Mouse with USB Nano Receiver – Blue

Product Information

With gaming mice, things get more complicated. The number of buttons often corresponds to the type of mouse you’re buying: Esports mice are designed to minimize weight, so most keep it to six. First-person shooter (FPS) mice often add extra dpi-switcher controls, so they tend to hit eight to 10. Specialized MMO mice have a ton of buttons to replicate the function keys on a keyboard, so they often have 15 or more. To be clear, more isn’t always better: Adding buttons adds weight and, if poorly designed, creates uncomfortable movements that are slow to reach and can hurt your hand with overuse. That said, companies are still finding new ways to add inputs without compromising comfort, so it is possible to find mice that defy these categories.

The Logitech MX Master 3S succeeds the popular MX Master 3, and it's only gotten better. It boasts the same versatility as its predecessors including those seven customizable buttons and three connectivity options, and a battery life that's as long as ever with up to 70 days of charge.

There are a few different kinds of wireless charging, which vary by brand, so it’s important to identify how the feature works. Many manufacturers, including Corsair and HyperX, have adopted the Qi wireless charging standard, so the mice can be charged on the same charging pads used for phones and other devices. (All of them, of course, would be happy to sell you a charging pad or mousepad with a built-in charging spot.) At least one company, Logitech, still relies on a proprietary charging technology, which adds unique benefits but makes the feature an expensive add-on, which isn’t ideal. If you're using a serial mouse and it's not detected, verify the serial ports or COM ports are enabled and assigned correctly in BIOS. Older computers with USB Once the wireless receiver is connected to the computer, Windows or macOS should automatically find and install the appropriate drivers. Depending on the mouse brand, your computer may need to connect to the Internet to install the drivers automatically. To turn on your mouse, press the Bluetooth button on the bottom of your mouse. Press the button again to turn it off.On your Windows 11 PC, select Connect if a notification appears for your mouse, then wait for it to get set up. If you're having problems connecting a serial mouse because the computer has no serial port or the port is not working, consider using a serial to USB adapter. BIOS setup The Logitech G502 X Plus may have abandoned the one feature most gamers loved about the Logitech G502 Lightspeed Wireless: weight customization. But, it makes up for that with even more impressive features and new tech that will benefit most gamers. Among them are a more lightweight body, a brand-new hybrid optical-mechanical switch, a faster Lightspeed wireless protocol, and double the predecessor's battery life.

To change how any special buttons work on your mouse, additional software may need to be installed. If the mouse is not functioning, see our mouse troubleshooting section. Connecting a wired USB mouse On your Windows 10 PC, select Connect if a notification appears for your mouse, then wait for it to get set up. Once your mouse is paired, the LED light will stop flashing. The light will stay on until you turn off your mouse. Battery info

Connectivity, battery life, and software are all important features to consider when looking specifically for a wireless mouse, but they’re ultimately irrelevant if the mouse you’re looking at doesn’t nail the important design features we look for in any mouse.

After the mouse is connected, the computer should automatically install the drivers and provide basic functionality. To change how any special buttons work on your mouse, additional software may need to be installed.If the mouse connects via USB, make sure USB is enabled and, if available, also ensure the USB legacy support is enabled. USB legacy support allows the mouse to work in legacy mode, for example, DOS. Mouse troubleshooting I’m an Analyst and ISF-certified TV calibrator focused on reviewing computer accessories, laptops, gaming monitors, and video games. I’ve been writing, playing, and complaining about games for as long as I remember, but it wasn’t until recently that I’ve been able to shout my opinions directly at a larger audience. My work has appeared on iMore, Windows Central, Android Central, and TWICE, and I have a diverse portfolio of editing work under my belt from my time spent at Scholastic and Oxford University Press. I also have a few book-author credits under my belt—I’ve contributed to the sci-fi anthology Under New Suns, and I’ve even written a Peppa Pig book. Press and hold the pair button on the bottom of the mouse until the LED light starts to flash (about 5 seconds). Most wireless mice feature built-in lithium-ion batteries, which can be recharged using a micro-USB or, less commonly, a USB Type-C cable. (USB-C is easier to plug in and can supply more power.) A Bluetooth mouse connects to a computer wirelessly using a Bluetooth signal. The computer must have built-in Bluetooth or have a Bluetooth adapter connected to it.

If using an older computer (2005 or earlier) with a serial or USB mouse, it may be necessary to configure the ports in the BIOS setup. If you have a newer computer, this section can be skipped. To get set up, you’ll need a PC that’s running Windows 11 with support for Bluetooth 4.0 or later. This mouse supports Swift Pair in Windows 11 for faster pairing. That said, Bluetooth has its advantages. If you want to connect to a device without an open USB port for a 2.4GHz dongle, such as a phone or tablet, you’ll need Bluetooth. Also, in some newer wireless mice, Bluetooth winds up draining less power than 2.4GHz, leading to longer battery life. In the end, choosing 2.4GHz versus Bluetooth comes down to the computer to which you'll connect your mouse. But having the option for both is best, especially for productivity-focused models. Wireless mice have come a long way in the past few years. New and improved versions of the technologies that mouse makers use to connect devices over the air have made a stable, nearly lag-free connection the norm for high-quality wireless gear. Likewise, better batteries and more efficient hardware have made charging a once-in-a-while concern, rather than a frequent one. Though the bar for making a usable wireless mouse is higher than a wireless keyboard, where it's easier to tolerate a little input lag, plenty of companies out there now make products that feel indistinguishable from their cable-bound counterparts.

The Microsoft Bluetooth Mouse is designed to be your go-to mouse for precise scrolling and navigation. The compact design makes it easy to be productive on the go. Roccat’s Kone line gives its popular and great-performing gaming mice an ergonomic twist. The sleek Roccat Kone Pro Air, Kone Pro’s wireless counterpart, offers users hours of comfortable use with its wide contoured body, a supportive hump, a lightweight frame, and a cable-free connection. The Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro is an incredible gaming mouse that's light as a feather and just as supportive for palm grippers as it is for gamers with a claw grip. It's obvious that Razer has put a lot of painstaking attention to detail when it comes to its form. As a result, you've got a gaming mouse that offers the best and most comfortable experience, whether they're gaming or working.
