A wireless mouse is preferable to a wired mouse when using a laptop computer. Even with a desktop computer, a mouse wire is cumbersome and restricting. You want a wireless mouse that is comfortable to hold, has decent battery life and one that meets your needs. Gamers need a mouse that has extra buttons while most of us do well with a simple mouse with two buttons and a wheel. Look for a wireless mouse that has an on/off switch to save the battery life during travel. A small USB key is preferable to a large one so that it doesn’t need to be removed when putting the laptop in a briefcase or backpack. A storage place inside the mouse for the USB key is another handy feature. Review the pros and cons of the products listed below to find the right wireless mouse for your needs.

This list has several options for people who use a wireless mouse for gaming. They come in typical gaming styles that light up and look almost robotic. They are also available in a sleeker design so that you can disguise your gaming mouse while working.
The long battery life that is standard in many of the products listed above is ideal for everyone who uses a mouse. Most of the products only require one battery for use. All of the above products have either a small USB key or require no key at all.
It is nice to have a choice in colour for your wireless mouse but not a deal breaker for most of us. Unless you are using the mouse on a large television, a huge range isn’t necessary for use either, although you don’t want a very short range either.
Overall, every wireless mouse on this list has far more pros than cons. They are all good choices for someone, you just need to choose the one that is right for you.
