No matter how smart and sleek your laptop is, you need an equally smart mouse to complement your work. It is just as essential to have a good mouse as it is to have a high-quality laptop. A comfortable mouse can make you work and play more comfortably, provide more precision, and even increase productivity.

There are many wireless mice to choose from, with Microsoft and Logitech offering several different models. The choice you make will depend on your budget, the laptop or PC you use, and the functionality you want.

Some individuals prefer a large, bulky mouse that takes up all of their hand space. In other cases, some prefer an extremely slim and lightweight mouse that allows them to move the mouse with their fingertips, and can easily be tucked away in their laptop case without adding any weight to it.

Whatever your choice is, there are a few things to consider when selecting or purchasing a wireless mouse to pair with your laptop.


What To Consider When Buying A Mouse

Beyond the fancy and stylish look of mice, there are a few things you should keep in mind when purchasing a mouse to pair with your laptop or desktop computer. 


Sensitivity and features

As far as the look, feel, and connectivity are concerned, the main differences between wireless mice are their sensitivity and selection of buttons and wheels. Most wireless mice come with two buttons plus scroll wheels. However, some have a two-axis wheel that shifts left or right to scroll horizontally and vertically, or additional wheels or buttons on top or on the side. Many applications support these buttons directly, but you can usually configure the buttons using the provided software. You might use them to activate specific functions or controls in a design application, for example, or to minimize, maximize and switch between open windows. Once you get used to it, it can be a real time and effort saver.

Although a more sensitive mouse is required if you have a higher-resolution screen, 1,000dpi is sufficient for most users and 1,600dpi is suitable even for graphics specialists. A resolution above 2,000dpi makes a huge difference only in professional gaming, when that extra sensitivity could mean the difference between win and defeat. It’s handy to have, but it’s not required.


Connectivity

Wireless mice are classified into two categories based on their connectivity. On the one hand, there are those that use a wireless transceiver that plugs into a USB port on your PC or laptop. This means you don’t need Bluetooth, which many desktop PCs don’t support, and you’re almost guaranteed a trouble-free connection. The transceiver requires a USB port, which can be scarce on some laptops, and the mouse becomes worthless if it is misplaced.


Grip and style

Generally, most users prefer to hold the device with their fingers, claws, or palms in order to get the most optimal possible experience. When it comes to choosing the right mouse grip style, it is crucial to find the one that is right for you, as this determines the mass and form of the mouse that is most comfortable to use in your hand.


Battery life

The battery life of your mouse is one of the most important aspects to consider. Today’s mice are able to run on only a single AAA or AA battery for months, but their performance and accuracy will begin to deteriorate as the battery drains. In most cases, you won’t have any problems if you keep a supply of batteries or rechargeables on hand. However, some expensive devices now have built-in lithium-ion cells, making this a less problematic option. With these batteries, you can use your device for months on end without having to worry about charging it. They charge using a USB cord, which carries both a signal and electricity, allowing you to continue to use your device while it charges.
