How did we make our choice?

The choice of a mouse can have a big influence on your performance and your office comfort. It must be as ergonomic as possible for your eyes, have as many buttons as you want, while having an efficient sensor.

 

The amount of models on the market makes this decision difficult. Therefore, we have established a list of criteria to help you:

 

Design and ergonomics : it will influence your handling. Large models should be avoided for small hands and vice versa. With this in mind, it is also necessary to check whether the mouse is a right-handed, left-handed or ambidextrous model. This selection is general, but we invite left-handers to consult our specifically dedicated article .

The weight : if your mouse is too heavy, in intensive use, your wrist will tire quickly. Note that some models have weights, which you can remove or add to maximize your comfort depending on your use (office, gaming ...).

The number of buttons : the average user can sometimes be surprised at the number of buttons available on mid-range mice. The way to change the shortcuts varies significantly from model to model, so be careful at this point if this criterion is important to you. Finally, mice dedicated to gamers generally have more keys.

Connectivity : wired mice work via USB connection. Their advantage is that they allow you to not worry about the battery level. The seconds generally work by Bluetooth and / or Wi-Fi. Their advantage is that they avoid getting caught in the wire during your frenzied games. Gamers often prefer wired mice because they have less latency and are generally lighter.

The type of sensor : the optical mouse works with an LED and analyzes the roughness of the surface to calculate the trajectory and retransmit it to the screen. With the laser mouse, the movement of the cursor much more precise. The sensor offers a certain resolution, generally expressed in DPI ( Dot Per Inch , or dots per inch). The higher the resolution, the faster and more precise the mouse will be.

After going through numerous tests carried out on the Internet, analyzing the technical data sheet of each product, consulting the opinions of French and English speaking users and ensuring the legitimacy of these comments, we were able to determine which are the best mice of the moment.

Microsoft Classic Intellimouse

This mouse is the simplest in our comparison. And despite a low price, it offers a comfortable design. It has the best sensor of our selection, which supports a lot of surfaces.

 

33.34 € at Amazon

The Microsoft Classic IntelliMouse offers an ergonomic shape and, as the name suggests, very simple. The red light of previous generations has given way to white light.

 

It therefore focuses on the essential: its form. It is easy to move thanks to its PTFE pads and its weight of 103 g.

 

It has two customizable buttons on its edge and a dial. These three buttons can be personalized. They thus make it possible to gain in productivity and can be an aid in speed video games.

 

If the mouse is quickly recognized by a PC, however, it is necessary to download additional software to configure this device. A common task in the field, but which we thought we could do without since this mouse is signed Microsoft.

 

For gamers however, its accuracy leaves much to be desired. It can go up to 3,200 DPI, and you have to go through the software to adjust it. The steps are wide: 200 dpi, compared to 50 dpi for better range mice.

 

It is however largely sufficient for office automation, even to navigate between several screens. Video game enthusiasts can therefore turn to better-range models or to adapted mice .

 

Finally, the mouse is equipped with the BlueTrack sensor. This one, the best in our review, allows the mouse to be used on a wide variety of surfaces, including glass.

 

In conclusion, this mouse offers an ergonomic grip, an excellent sensor and a light weight for an affordable price.

 

 

 

Razer Deathadder V2

It is the only mouse in our review to offer main buttons with optical switches. With its ergonomic design and customizable buttons, it is intended for those who play occasionally.

 

49.99 € on Amazon

The Razer DeathAdder V2 is a lightweight mouse (81.6g) with excellent construction and improved feet compared to the previous generation. No matter the size of your hand, it is very pleasant to handle, especially thanks to the many rubber parts.

 

We find the logo of the brand on the bottom of the mouse. It is possible to modify its color via a dedicated software, Synapse. The left and right click buttons use optical switches for super fast response.

 

Seven buttons, as well as the dial, can be software programmable. A key is also used to change the profile to be able to quickly modify the mouse shortcuts.

 

One of the strengths of the Razer DeathAdder V2 is its sheathed cable designed not to interfere with your movements. Mouse precision starts at 100 CPI to 20,000 CPI, in steps of 50 CPI. It is therefore intended primarily for video game players, or people demanding in terms of customizing the speed of the mouse.

 

The sensor of this mouse is optical. It is precise, but does not support as many surfaces as our best entry level.

 

The Razer DeathAdder V2 is fun to use for long periods of time. If you use multiple applications, the programmable buttons and the ability to easily switch profiles make this model ideal.

 

It is suitable for video games, although we advise people who consume frequently to switch to gaming mice .

 

Logitech MX Vertical

This model is the only one that must be held vertically. This helps reduce fatigue in the wrist and forearm joints. It is also the only one in our comparison to be wireless.

 

95.29 € at Amazon

The Logitech MX Vertical mouse is the only wireless mouse in our review. Its main uniqueness lies in the fact that it is, as its name suggests, a vertical model. Vertical mice reduce contact between the wrist and the desktop.

 

This helps prevent carpal tunnel syndrome, which is pain in the wrist as a result of excessive bending. So if you use your mouse for long sessions, this model is ideal.

 

Its construction is made of plastic, but gives a solid rendering. It is comfortable to use, but its fairly heavy weight (130g) and its shape make it a bit difficult to move. A problem that is corrected, however, by setting the precision of the mouse.

 

It has four programmable buttons. It is possible to change profiles to modify their shortcuts depending on the applications you use, but you have to go through the dedicated software. Our mid-range, on the other hand, has a button to quickly change profiles.

 

The Logitech MX Vertical is a wireless mouse that can be used over Bluetooth. If you use it on a stationary PC without this function, it is possible to use a small USB key (a dongle ) to connect the mouse.

 

Its precision ranges from 400 to 4000 DPI. It is adjusted in steps of 50 DPI. This precision is sufficient for office use, but remains low compared to our mid-range.

 

This mouse is suitable for long sessions in front of a PC. The fact that it is wireless, vertical and ergonomic offers great user comfort. However, players can turn to more precise wired models. For more wireless mice, you can see our dedicated comparison .
