Comfort is one of the most important factors in choosing any mouse, gaming or otherwise, and the Logitech MX Vertical is best-in-class. It's ergonomic design allows you to comfortably rest your hand in a neutral position, meaning you'll experience virtually no strain, even across marathon sessions.

Its top DPI setting (4,000) doesn't compare with some of the other gaming mice on this list, but it's still extremely precise, with a quality laser sensor that provides all the precision you're ever likely to need. You can also unplug it from your machine and run it wirelessly with virtually no input lag, and it's got a killer battery life—just three minutes of charging time will net around an entire day of use.

If you're not hung up on high DPI setting (and you really don't need to be—just turn up the sensitivity), the MX Vertical is an awesome mouse that feels like a luxury. Its unique form factor is eye-catching and pleasantly curved, without relying on RGB gimmick lighting for its aesthetic appeal.


The original G502 has long been a classic, a favourite in circles that prize durability, accuracy, and high performance from their pointers. This refresh not only honours that legacy but actually improves upon it, with iterative but substantive changes that elevate a beloved classic to dizzying new heights.

Now packing Logitech's reliable 16K Hero sensor, and with a 7 gram reduction in weight over its predecessor, the G502 Lightspeed is also forward-looking by way of it's compatibility with the PowerPlay charging mat. The mat not only charges the mouse on the fly but will actually recognise it and pair it with your PC without requiring the use of a USB dongle.

The G502 is also host to a number of other small quality of life features like modular weights that can be added or removed to find the perfect hand feel, and a scroll wheel that can be locked to toggle through steps or unlocked to spin freely. It's one of the best wireless mice on the market, and priced accordingly, but if you have the cash to spare, the G502 is worth every penny.
