Computer Mice

A mouse is the one peripheral your hand touches all day — grip and job matter far more than DPI numbers.
The right mouse comes down to two things the spec sheet buries: how you grip it and what you do with it all day. A productivity mouse and a competitive gaming mouse are built on opposite priorities — one adds buttons, weight, and a luxurious scroll wheel, the other strips all of that away to chase speed and lightness — so the DPI number everyone quotes tells you almost nothing about which one your hand will thank you for.
For work, the Logitech MX Master 3S is the default: a free-spinning scroll wheel that flies through a thousand lines a second, quiet clicks, multi-device switching, and a shape built for long days, all for $99. For competitive gaming, the Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 is the opposite philosophy — 60 grams, no holes, the sensor pros trust — and we put the two head-to-head in MX Master 3S vs Superlight 2. If you want one mouse for work and play, the Razer Basilisk V3 Pro packs eleven buttons and a tilt wheel into a comfortable ergonomic shape; see how it trades against the pure-aim Superlight in Superlight 2 vs Basilisk V3 Pro. And if your wrist aches, the Anker Vertical is a $25 way to test whether the handshake grip fixes it.
