Wireless mouse recommendations

[MonkeysUncle]

I use this

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Microsoft-S...14&sr=8-4&th=1

Its decent from MS. Battery life is great, once you get used to the swipe gestures it makes things easier. Also no dongle needed which is a plus.

Also the blue track really does work great on any surface (other than transparent glass).

Mouse? Why not a trackball?

It's just not the same. I personally like my trackpad but even that took a little getting used to.

I like the MS ones but since we're on this topic, it seems these often still require you to plug in a little dongle thingie - keyboards too. I was looking at trying to get a nice wireless setup recently and was surprised to see it's not all BlueTooth now. USB ports are precious.

Bluetooth is slow and other bluetooth devices can interfere with the signal so it can be preferable for support, gaming and usability reasons to keep the mouse connection separate.

Logitech MX Master 3 Advanced Ratón Inalámbrico, Receptor USB, Bluetooth, 2.4GHz, Desplazamiento Rápido, Seguimiento 4K DPI en Cualquier Superficie, 7 Botones, Recarcable, PC, Mac, iPadOS, Negro : Logitech: Amazon.es: Informática because it's stupidly cheap compared to the UK price of £92.

+1

I have the MX Master 3 for Mac, not portable if that is one of your requirements but bullet proof for everyday use

In reality I have two - one for when I'm working in my office and one for client sites.
The one I take on client sites is a cheap one I picked up on eBay. It's like a gaming mouse, has multiple buttons that probable do things and lights up when charging. Very poor taste, but it works. And better than that, it is different to the standard issue mouse that most contractors and clients use. So if you're in a room with multiple laptops, no one accidentally grabs yours.

Not quite as hideous as this, but not far off it: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/144238333522

Bar a slightly different pattern that's exactly what I had that's just expired. I had a similar one before and it was just awful hence me looking for advice but at 5 quid a pop I shouldn't be worrying. Just thought I might try something a bit more understated that was reliable.

For 60 quid I want it to make me coffee as well.

No contractor specific options like...

As a contractor I buy the best job for the task at hand (so that Logitech mouse)...

I'm not on Apple but I people do rave about them. Plenty of replicas around. Any of them any cop or just cheap rip offs? Or am I being thick here and they are just bluetooth and no bound to apples?

I like the Logitech MX mice. Never had an issue with them, and they're rechargeable (single AA battery).

Had a number of wireless mice in the family over time and it's been very hit and miss. Even some of the bigger brands weren't really all that cop and the best one I've had one a two quid cheapie from Aliexpress but they don't make it anymore. I'm in the market for new general use one for work.

Anyone got something solid they like so I don't end up with another duffer? I like a full size mouse so nothing dinky. Looking cool/sophisticated a positive, expensive not a positive but either of those can be flexible for the right item.

P.S. Accountant still writes stuff down so doesn't know about wireless mice so that option is out.
P.P.S Not doing a bean of your own research or googling anything appears to be de rigueur so I'm getting down with the cool kids
