The short answer

The Logitech MX Keys S and MX Master 3S are the best keyboard and mouse for most people, and they switch between three computers. The Logitech Pebble 2 Combo is the budget pick. If your mouse lags, move its USB receiver away from your router and USB 3 ports.

Why wireless mice lag

Most wireless mice use the same 2.4 GHz band as your Wi-Fi. A busy router nearby, or a USB 3 port next to the receiver, can cause stutters and dropped clicks.

Pro tip

If you game, use the mouse's USB receiver rather than Bluetooth. The receiver has lower lag; Bluetooth is better for battery life and switching devices.

  • Move the receiver: use a USB extension so it sits a few inches from the computer and near the mouse
  • Use the front ports: keep the receiver away from USB 3 drives and hubs
  • Try Bluetooth: or move your devices to the router's 5 GHz Wi-Fi band

How we picked

We compared published lab tests, owner reports and maker specs, and ranked on:

  • Comfort and key feel
  • Multi-device switching
  • Battery life and charging
  • Price

More on our process is in how we research.

Others we considered

  • Logitech MX Master 4: The newer model; worth it on sale, but the 3S does the same job for most people.
  • Logitech MX Anywhere 3S: A smaller travel mouse.
  • Microsoft Bluetooth Ergonomic Mouse: A cheap, comfortable option.

Questions

Is Bluetooth or a USB receiver better?

A receiver is steadier and faster. Bluetooth frees a port and switches devices more easily.

Can a wireless mouse slow my Wi-Fi?

Not noticeably. The interference usually runs the other way.

How long do the batteries last?

Weeks to months for rechargeable keyboards with the backlight off, and up to two years for AA-powered mice.
