The Best Bluetooth Mouse for Mac
From the M240 to the MX Ergo S: five mice ranked on battery life and button count, with who should skip each one.
By Alex Morgan, PC Hardware Editor
12 min read5 products evaluated
Most Macs have few or no USB-A ports, so a Bluetooth mouse avoids adapters. Every mouse here lists Bluetooth, ordered by listed battery life.
This is a research roundup, not a lab test: battery life, programmable buttons and grip come from each maker's published specs; nothing here was tested in-house, and a missing programmable buttons is flagged, not filled in.

The Unifying receiver can also pair up to six compatible Logitech devices, which saves USB ports. It matches the Signature M650 on battery life (up to 24 months). It was priced above the M240 and below the Signature M650 at the time of writing.

Logitech M240 Silent Bluetooth Mouse
Logitech's M240 is a silent Bluetooth mouse that needs no receiver.
Best for
- Getting silent clicks for the least money.
Skip if
- Look at the others if this bothers you: battery life of up to 18 months, behind the M720 (up to 24 months).
Why we like it
It has 18 months of battery life. It connects over Bluetooth only, so no port is used on a laptop, and its quiet clicks cut about 90% of click noise by Logitech's figure. The 18-month battery rating comes from an auto-sleep mode.
Its up to 18 months battery life ranks third of 5 here, behind the M720 (up to 24 months) and ahead of the MX Ergo S (up to 4 months). A bluetooth connection is unique to it among these picks, while the MX Ergo S uses a bluetooth or Logi Bolt connection. No other pick here cost less at our last price check, and the M720 was closest. If you want a confirmed button count, look to the M720 instead: it offers 6, while this one gives no figure.
Key specs
- Battery life
- up to 18 months
- Grip
- Compact, ambidextrous
- Connection
- Bluetooth
Pros
- Silent clicks
- 10m Bluetooth range
- No USB receiver needed

Vertical mice put your hand in a handshake position; allow a week to adjust, and check the hand size. You also get this: Vertical with base support grip, the only one here. On price it sat fourth of 5, between the cheaper Signature M650 and the pricier MX Ergo S, at the time of writing.

- Battery life
- up to 6 months

Best for

Skip if
- Skip it if battery life matters most to you; the M720 offers up to 24 months.

How We Chose
Alex Morgan compared the manufacturer specifications, connectivity, warranty terms and compatibility of every pick. Figures come from the makers unless a third-party source is named; we did not test these products ourselves.
- The figures behind the order
- We lined up five mice on battery life, button count, grip and connection from manufacturer specifications. We did not test them in-house, and button count is missing for at least one pick.
- The shared baseline
- All 5, from the M720 to the MX Ergo S, state battery life, grip and connection.
- Where the specs have gaps
- The Signature M650, the M240 and the MX Ergo S give no button count.
- Price range
- At our last check the picks ran from the M240 (under $50) to the MX Ergo S ($100 to $150).

Makers often state a hand size range, especially for vertical mice. A mouse that is too small forces a claw grip.
Measure from wrist crease to middle fingertip before buying.
