I spent 1 year searching for a perfect mouse for Mac

The best mouse for Mac. MX Master 3S, the Apple Magic Mouse, a Razer mouse and other gaming mice with my Mac to try and find the best mouse for Mac. It had to be a Bluetooth mouse and have a short wireless dongle (preferably a USB-C dongle). And I think I found one.

[@slob5041]

my doctor agrees!

[@varunchelikani7891]

how is the battery liffffffee

[@JohnSmith-pn2vl]

polling rate has nothing to do with refresh rate of monitor, same goes for disabling acceleration, don't do this on a mac. use the magic mouse, there is nothing out there comparable, this software and hardware is very sophisticated. you just brought a "mind virus" from the pc world over to mac. mac acceleration is supreme and useful, if you use 1 monitor or 6 it's a breeze. what the other mices lack is the whole multitouch world on which the mac is build on. but forget all of this, nobody ever uses a macbook with a mouse, the trackpad is better period the more you use it and the more you learn how to use it the faster you will get, it is absolutely not like a windows laptop where a mouse is basically mandatory because the trackpads, while improved a lot on the hardware side, still suck ass on the software side and will so for another decade is my guess. to test a mouse you have to use it for 3 months at least till your muscles adapt, almost everybody misses right there. don't use pointer modification software or acceleration modification software, they all are terrible and ruin everything by slowing down everything. my tip is to deactivate touch click and enable triple drag. there is a lot to learn and to adapt to, which takes time, for your muscles and your brain.

[@Puggie]

You are able to disable mouse pointer acceleration directly from macOS, this was added in macOS Sonoma. Should be under System Settings > Mouse > Advanced

And i also have a MX Master 3 and MX Anywhere 3 for Mac which both work perfectly fine with no lag. Mouse cursor never stutters or teleports.

I've had it on multiple units, just like my gf, who is also using them. It's been an issue for the Master 2s as well on both intel and M series macs. It is so annoying for a mouse this expensive. (we tried both the bluetooth and dongle version too, still the same)

[@konstidog]

Thought I'd let you know, there's apps like Mos you can use on macOS to get smooth scrolling with a scroll wheel mouse. If memory serves me right, you can even use it to set your mouse to reversed scrolling direction while keeping your trackpad scroll direction natural. Hope that helps you c:

[@bren.r]

Yeah I use Mos mainly for the reversed scrolling feature while keeping trackpad natural.

[@rhylin26]

The fact that you can’t set the track pad and scroll wheel separate is so annoying.

How do you guys not know this? Here are some more common chrome hotkeys: Ctrl W to close current tab, Ctrl Shift T to reopen last closed tab (great if you misclick), Ctrl Tab to go to next tab and Ctrl Shift Tab to go to previous tab. There are variations of this on mac, I guess the command key instead of ctrl.

[@dandemler1638]

I have two MX Master 3S and they’re always connected via Bluetooth to Macs. I’ve never had any connection issues. It could be interference from other devices but I assume that would affect other mice too. I used to use a Razer Basilisk via Bluetooth and that did have lag from time to time, especially when I joined video calls.

[@hypno0784]

Recently got the Logitech M650. Comes with side buttons, silent click, Bluetooth, a magnetic scroll wheel (which is different from and not as crappy as the MX3S), a battery instead of charging, grippy side texture, and gestures while holding the middle button. Snagged it for $18 in a sale and couldn't be more happy. In fact, I like it more than my MX2S due to its size and weight.

[@bogxd]

That sounds really nice, especially for the price. Are you using it with a dongle or via Bluetooth? I'm curious if the bluetooth connection lags or not

[@silentwater79]

Was also looking into the M6, but the Scroll Wheel is subpar compared to the Scroll Wheel of the MX3. And as a Software Dev, I Scroll a lot through masses of Source Code. So the Scroll Wheel of the MX3 is something I don't want to miss anymore. At home I use the MX3. On the go, I use the MX Anywhere 3, which has a similar Scroll Wheel.

I think your Logitech must have been defected. I used it for about a year now and haven't had any issues (apart from the white finish not being completely white anymore). It's really ergonomic, smooth and has no connection problems whatsoever. Disclaimer: I'm using it on a Studio Display not a 120Hz MacBook.

[@shanangls]

I agree with the MX Master mouse! Tried both MX master and MX anywhere, and it was so laggy on my macbook air even when using the dongle. I settled with the g304 and it was the best mouse for me. Downside is it does not have a bluetooth connection.

[@re7qi]

I had an MX Master 3S on Mac at 120hz - with same issues you mention. Now been using a Logitech G603 - got a great sensor (125hz or 1000hz polling) has lightspeed/bluetooth connections and 18 month battery life. Shame it's discontinued.

[@mrBenSan]

YES, the G603 it's near perfect! and you can use one or two batteries if you prefer a lighter or heavier feel and you can also map the side buttons directly for mission control or show the desktop

[@cinefyl]

@re7qi has Logitech come out with a successor to this mouse?

[@lumberfoot_jpg]

I just bought the new M3 macbook pro, and I needed something (1) portable, (2) rechargeable, and (3) USB-C compatible. I initially bought a cheap Logitech bluetooth mouse because I'm very happy with my Logitech gaming mouse at home, however, the bluetooth connection was horrible and made the cursor micro stutter. After some research, I came across the Lenovo Go Mouse. It is absolutely fantastic! As it (1) fits in my small backpack zipper, (2) has a rechargeable battery, and (3) comes equipped with a super minimal USB-C 2.4GHz dongle which alleviated the micro stuttering from the last mouse. Overall, I highly recommend the Lenovo Go Mouse for anyone looking for sleek, simple, "forget about it" solution to using a mouse on the go with a macbook :)

[@mohammedzaid5989]

the teleportation lag is due to interference of wifi and bluetooth signal on 2.4 GHz frequency. I turned of 2.4 GHz on my router and only operate it on 5 GHz and the problem went away just like that!

[@technocatdance]

logitech m720 is actually pretty decent for the price and doesn't stutter that badly at all, I still opted for the MX master 3s because it is more ergonomic and reduces wrist strain for longer use, and I absolutely love the no click, wish all mouse had no stupid click noise, the lagging I do have sometimes but seems to be better by just turning it on and off, sometimes it doesn't lag that badly at all but other days have to restart it like 3 to 4 times

[@satyabhan6548]

Been using the Mx Master 3 (not S) since 3 years now, and I occasionally switch between intel iMac 4k, MB Air M2, and a windows PC. Contrary to your experience, I've never once faced connection problems across any of my machines. It just performs brilliantly. The only 2 things I don't like about the mouse: a) The weight -its just too heavy b) The forward-backward buttons don't work with Safari (or maybe they do, I never cared about installing the Logi software) Also, one thing that no one mentions about the magic mouse is the feet that it uses to slide/ glide on surfaces - they tend to attract dirt and become sticky more frequently than any other mouse that I have ever tried, so much so that the mouse becomes annoying to use unless you wipe it with a damp cloth every other day. Never faced this problem with the MX master.

[@BottyGuy]

I have both the MX Master 3 and the MX Anywhere 3 and also haven't had any issues with either of them, they connect fine, and I can switch easily between two Macs.

[@baconberries8097]

The sad thing about the magic mouse to me is that the good is really good! Using it in school in illustrator and Photoshop, i liked how intuitive it was moving around an image by just scrolling on the top. It's a shame that no one else has made any "touch mice" because i think it's ripe for innovation.

[@skyscall]

Nobody else has made any "touch mice" for Mac, simply because Apple won't _let_ anyone else. No other mouse is allowed to access the same controls as it.

[@sturmx96]

1:17 That was a cool trick. Also I found myself using mac's trackpad rather than mx master 2 mouse. It's absolutely great for my workflow as a designer, the only con is that 3 finger drag is not applied to the layers sometimes so you have to click on the trackpad and drag the layer so the changes are saved.

Great review. I have Logitech G305 which is very similar to Keychron M3 and I feel very similar to you about the design and functions. The only difference is it has usb-a adaptor which is a bummer. But I use my mouse when I connect to my secondary screen at my workstation and I plugged the adaptor into the screen's USB-A. When I plug my Mac into the screen via type-c it automatically recognize the USB connections of the screen which is awesome because my wife also use the workstation. This way, who ever connects to the screen, controls the mouse and the keyboard. I have logitech mx keys and logitech g305 mouse as workstation setup. Also I use LG ergo 4k monitor.

[@SowrenSen]

For me it is the MX Master 3. I've been using it for a year now and works great. I don't use the dongle cause the Bluetooth connection is really smooth. I never noticed any lag.

[@ricardomilos857]

I've been using MX Master 3S for a year, and it's perfect. The cursor is not teleporting, but it's lagging for 10-15 secs after you haven't used it for a long time (1-2 days). And, Master 3S has a lot of features, which are must-haves in Mac

[@regenschein71]

Thanks for the detailed instructions. I got my mouse working again, but it immediately stopped after I put it back together. The I just loosened the two outer screws under the thumb button (the ones that are hidden beneath the wide glide pad) and now it seems to work. So, hint for everyone: try these two first before opening the whole mouse. Might save you some work.

[@charlesc2095]

This is the video that Ive been looking for for the past decade. It always bugged me that every mouse that I bought for my several mac systems that I use all had horrendous bluetooth performance (and yes including the mx master). Latest one that Im using as my daily driver is the mx anywhere mouse and bluetooth mode just feels like crap. Now Im really tempted to try out the keychron one

[@bogxd]

I mean, it will still have that "Bluetooth" feel. Just a little little bit of delay, but you can't really get around it. I only noticed it when switching from the dongle to Bluetooth. But yeah this one is the best Bluetooth experience I've had with any mouse so far.

MX3 wireless with the dongle and USB-C to USB-A + Mos + Logi Options+. I've set the middle button click to switch between desktops depending on which direction I move the mouse to simulate the 3 finger swipe on the touchpad. Very useful for navigating between full screen apps. Yes, the dongle sticks out a bit, but the Bluetooth connection sucks as noted in the video.

[@maxmouse3]

Great video. One thing to note is that you can enable smooth scrolling on any mouse using some third party apps. It's a bit annoying but there are FOSS apps for that :)

[@cvought1]

I purchased the Keychron M3 to replace my MX Master 3 recently as a result of watching this video; just because I wanted to see if there was a significant difference in the feel and my productivity. A few things to report back to you all: 1. The MacOS software for the Keychron M3 is very confusing and of very poor quality; managed to finally get the buttons on the side to control my volume and the top button to lock the computer (the same way I had it on the MX3), but it took a while to figure it out. Unlike the M3's really nice software 😇. 2. The battery life on the Keychron M3 is very poor. I had charged it all the way up prior to use and it died after 1 day's use while I was in a meeting 😑. 3. The various polling options on the bottom of the mouse, while compelling, really turned out to be more of novelty for me; I just want to adjust the sensitivity, set it and forget it, I don't care for so many options. It didn't add a lot of value for me. But #2 (the poor battery life) put the nail in the coffin on this mouse 😖; it's getting returned to Amazon and I'm going back to the MX3.

[@PaulRadaker]

Logitech sells a USB dongle for the MX Master mouse that has a much better polling rate. I use a MX Master 3 with the dongle every day and it’s amazing. Only problem is it’s USB-A, so that might not work for your criteria.

First of all, I have to admit that your video and suggestion have greatly improved my life. I have a MacBook Pro M1 and was dissatisfied with the MX Master 3S. The significant mouse lag, which many consider the best mouse in the world, is unacceptable. Yesterday, after watching your video, I decided to sell the MX Master 3S and buy the KeyChron M3. So far, I am thrilled with its responsiveness on my computer. I've never had such a smooth feeling, not even with the Apple Magic Mouse. This is one of the more useful videos I've watched, and I've become a new follower of your channel.

The MX Master 3 or 3s is an amazing mouse, but only on Windows. My experience on a Mac is exactly the same as yours (and of the video author) and frankly I have a hard time deciphering why on earth would anyone recommend this mouse for Macs. The support for it is terrible and the mouse just feels bad. Do people generally just have poor standards on what is a good mouse experience? My experience on Windows with it is awesome and I swear I will buy it again as soon as this one dies.

[@milosjevic]

@@Mikri90 The last time I utilized Windows was eight years ago when I was using the MX Master 2 mouse, an experience that left me thoroughly impressed. Recently, I've noticed that many KZbinrs are using the MX Master 3S with their MacBook computers without encountering the issue that @bogxd and I are currently facing. It seems quite unusual. As described in this video, I have personally encountered all the issues associated with the MX Master 3S. However, since I purchased the Keychron M3 based on recommendation, I have been using it, and surprisingly, I have not experienced any lag issues at all. I thought it might be helpful to share this information with you, as it could provide some insight into the situation.

@@MihaRekar with a dongle or bluetooth? Performance is OK with a dongle, not as good as on my Windows machine, but not bad either. And btw it isn't lag per se, but input latency. It doesn't stutter or skip frames, it just isn't 1:1 with my hand motion. And btw that applies to my experience with the magic mouse as well, which, on top of having the input latency also has a terrible sensor. I know several people who swear by that mouse, and at this point I am not sure if people who have used Macs for years and decades now just have low standards for mouse performance or is it me who's just too picky. We don't all have the same expectations. No mouse I ever tried on Mac, matches my experience on Windows where the input latency is so small that it's as good as non-existent, and yes I have tried even my fast gaming mouse which is better than the MX Master 3 but not as good as it should be. The trackpad is awesome (the ones on Windows laptops usually suck) but I do need a mouse sometimes. But once again, the dongle performance is fine with me, it's the bluetooth performance that's terrible. Heck, I connected that same mouse over bluetooth to my fairly cheap Android phone and it was smoother and more responsive than on my Macbook. That should't really be happening, but that's how it is.

[@estranged__]

The middle click is indeed life changing. Thanks and subscribed

[@sturmx96]

But you shorten the lifespan of your mousewheel with it. All these mouses are going to have scroll issues after 1-2 years of use that's for sure. The only one that holds is mx master because of its optical encoder wheel which has much better longevity compared to mechanical encoder which is used in all other mice even in high end gaming ones for 100 bucks.

For me my old Microsoft Arc Mouse works great!

I don't really use it when traveling though so it's not a big deal. I also have an M350s that I bought for my iPad. I really like it... except for the scroll wheel, which isn't smooth. After watching this I may get a Keychron M3. Great video btw, I really liked the editing!

Thanks!

[@blurri_10]

Your manim animations are so damn cool and advanced! Keep it up man

[@philangundze1885]

Great Vid. I’d been using the Logitech MX Master 2 since its launch. Eventually it stopped working, currently using the Logitech Lift, underrated mouse.🔥🔥🔥

[@bogxd]

Cheers!

[@RVNmedic]

Thanks for doing the research.

[@polyhedraldesign2107]

The reasons I can’t switch away from the Magic Mouse are because of the swipe gestures and fluid directional scrolling when I’m working in Figma. It’s the hybridization of mouse and trackpad that is so useful for not having to take your fingers off the mouse, a big plus when designing.

[@IzaanFitness]

is it the bluetooth problem also the problem ? i thought if apple product will not have this problem

[@peterpang5759]

I am using a Logitech MX3 mouse on my 2019 16" Macbook Pro. No latency as you mentioned. Polling rate is at 120hz, max art 135hz. Not sure why you are experiencing this. Had one in the office for my M2 Max Mac Studio, not suffering these issues at all. Did you install the Logitech app for the mouse?

[@s8anio]

5 Different Macs (intel, M1, M2)... MX Master 2, 3 and 3S (all black)... Completely different experience! Smooth af! Working all day and night and even gaming (but prefer razor for gaming)! Best mouse I've ever used in over 20 years.

[@operator_dnb]

Yea I suspect bro received a faulty MX MASTER LOL

[@chop8557]

found my perfect mouse setup for mac. magic touchpad on the left, keyboard in the middle and logitech vertical on the right for more precise movements. sometimes ill put the magic touchpad in the middle underneath my keyboard like the laptops.

[@jingpinhuicai]

You should also try Keychron M6. It’s got the performance of the M3 and the design of a MX Master.

[@maettis_]

About the Logi MX mouse: I had the same issues with the teleporting. Just install the Logi Options+ Software of Logi and it will install the right drivers automatically. Now it is the best mouse ever. The mx mouse is simply practical for macbooks. I have the feeling that I don't have to make any compromises when it comes to the functions. For example, the button at the bottom for the thumb is great when it comes to switching desktops. The second scroll wheel is super useful when you are on the web and need to scroll horizontally. The Logitech software is just great. I have entire automations to set up my workspace.

[@sadmansajid5274]

You literally changed my life by telling me what the mouse middle button does. never found a proper use for it in my whole 23 years using a computer.

[@Eventwow]

After razer dropped Mac support I went with the Logi so far it’s been great. With the charging port in the front I can use while it’s charging as if it was a wired mouse.

[@deckhand]

Decided to buy a Keychron M3 because of this review. Thank you!

[@comebackata2]

you might want to look at the M6. just read it here in the comments

[@TrollerSK]

I use Logitech MX Master 3S with the dongle that sticks 3 hamburgers per square toenail and it does not lag, i can even game on it. However, on my windows laptop it always defaulted to 125 Hz polling rate, and on my mac, because Apple, it often got stuck at 90, feeling slow and laggy comapred to the trackpad. However since Sonoma it is always 125Hz and it is actually nice to use, so you might check it out again and use try the dongle :)

[@ebeisaac7700]

Great review! Happy to know there’s a Mac compatible software for Keychron M3. Does it work for the M4 version as well?

[@Kelson01]

Just get G502 hero and if you need to sideways scroll with any mouse hold the shift key when scrolling. Problem solved

[@waltonks8172]

For me any decent bluetooth mouse (except Magic Mouse) with Mac Mouse Fix app is the way to go. USC dongle mouses don't work very well for my MacBook Air because the aluminium body blocks the signal between the dongle and the mouse. I currently use Logitech M650 with my MacBook Air and it's great. I choose this mouse because I often switch between the dongle mode on Windows device and the bluetooth mode for the Mac.

[@aldo6532]

My favourite mouse for my Windows laptop comes with the Surface Bluetooth Desktop set. Enjoy the keyboard but the mouse feels so accurate to me and I’ve tried the best of the best and not enjoyed their feel.

[@kensyootoob]

Nice thorough walkthrough! Enjoyed :) Cheers!

[@sven7432]

Hey, what do you think of the asus rog Harpe aim lab edition? Do you think it will work good with Mac?

[@silentshadow867]

Not sure if there is a huge difference between your mac and my M2 macbook pro, but I have absolutely no issues with my MX Master 3s. The bluetooth works fine, I don't notice latency issues, and I definitely don't have the cursor teleporting.

[@michalrz4667]

very nice vid. I had same challange like around half year ago. Tested several mouses, but it was not pull frequency bud scrolling smoothies that was more important to me, I had great hopes towards Logitech MX house, but it occurred to be a total disaster. Ended up with Magic Mouse 2

[@maxlight9258]

what macbook are you using? i have a macbook m1 and i have problems with bluetooth mouse (low hz). as far as i know this problem almost everyone has this problem.

[@typescriptuser]

I mainly use Logitech MX Anywhere 3. It works great with their Logitech Options utility app, including smooth scroll (it’s not perfect but I like it), mission control gestures. Have you tried it with your MX Master 3S?

[@bogxd]

Ah that's nice, I'm glad you're not hating it like me xd. Yeah, I tried it with both logi options and options + and a bunch of other apps but the Bluetooth lag wouldn't go away.

[@officiallyazzam]

Lots of mixed reviews in the comments. I don't know previously but I have been using the MX Master 3S from 2 months and it checks every box for me. I have no even faced any lags. However when I connected it to a second computer then it got a little slower to connect with my mac. Other than that it's very smooth, no lag, I can switch between desktops with the mouse, I can open the mission control with the mouse too. The apple touch pad is also very nice and I find myself using the touch pad when I am in positions where I can use the mouse without being bothered.

[@Alphyx_]

The mixed reviews are based on the fact that some users do not notice a difference, I myself using a 60 hz display did not notice the lag but using a display greater than 100 hz the difference is noticeable

[@Snayps]

I don't need to see the video (using trackpad only), but I love the thumbnail, you have my like and comment, keep going! ✨

[@pedramghorbani5247]

Keychron M3 was and still is one of the best mice I have ever had for mac. i have used G502 old and new, G903, MX master 3s, and Keychron M3. M3 checks all the boxes for me at least. I am really interested to check out the M6 mouse I think that one has the vertical wheel on it

[@ashxskie]

I think you should also check out their newer version the keychron M6 with horizontal scroll wheel too.

[@Dukefazon]

I use a Logitech MX Master 3S and it works perfectly! Also, I chose the dark/black version so it looks better when not 100% clean.

[@RefractArt]

Been using MX Master for more than 1 year in BT mode, i never had any issue in regard to cursor teleportation, please note that Macbook's bluetooth adapter is really dogshit and once you connect a bit more devices it will lag all of them.

[@nevaknowmanamesame5089]

Rival 3, works fine with bt. Batteries last a month, and it has a dongle. I like it for gaming too

[@lucadanielionescu6653]

Last year, I bought Logitech M650L, but few months ago, I switched to Magic Mouse 3 black version and I have no regrets.

[@XNaos]

Did you bought the MX 3 for Mac or with dongle? Apperently the for Mac version doesnt come with these caviats on Mac.

[@z3us89]

I do use the Master MX 3S - i really love that mouse. But I also got the white one and after 20 months its not really white anymore. But other than that, I like it. and the bluetooth is good enough - my Notebook is attached to the table and the connection is good enough through wood. But as you also mentioned - it only has between 90-125Hz. I currently bought a Razer Pro Click. Man that mouse is so much smoother. I only miss the fast scrollwheel of the MX3s. But if I remember correctly, you have to buy the logitech Mouse in the Mac version to be better.

[@JulianoFagundes]

I'm so happy with my Logi M590. This thing can connect 2 devices via BT and easily switch between then using a button on top of the mouse.

[@userkilled]

I have a bluetooth lag on both Magic Mouse 3 and MX Anywhere 3s on different MacBooks. I never understood what these mice were praised for - the cursor moved jerkily on the new MacBook M3 Pro. Thanks, I'll try Keychron

[@willy7968]

I have the apple Magic Mouse and the MX Master 3. The MX master is the better choice cos I use it while I'm connected to monitor, my monitor supports Usb C link, so I simply connect it via the dongle, no lag.... the ergonomics is far better than the Magic Mouse also with more buttons and customisation

[@keyboardologist]

Great video. Very similar experience I tried all the mice except MX because I'm a lefty, imo it's 1. Magic Mouse 2. Razer Viper.

[@renoleon8298]

Razer Pro Click Mini is so underated. Perfect for macbook and Windows switching and even gaming with dongle.

[@silentwater79]

I have the MX Master 3. And as a Software Dev, I don't want to live without the Scroll Wheel of the MX Master anymore. I have to Scroll a lot through masses of Code and the Scroll Wheel of the MX Master is the best I ever experienced on a mouse so far.

[@_kopiter_]

all good, but how do you set up scrolling? by default there is also acceleration on scrolling, which means, just a small click of the wheel won't do anything.. On the logitech I managed to set it up nicely, though it's still non-linear.

[@ChasedByPenguins]

Kudos for 4:45 😄. But the Magic Mouse is still to me the best Mac Mouse period just because of the touch all-direction scrolling on top.

[@kxmhout359]

I use AttackShark R1 cheap and come with wire/Bluetooth/usb receiver. It is really good and smooth on mac

[@chasemcdude3781]

which Hz did you get I have the option for 4000hz or 1000hz? I have a MacBook Air m1
