TOP 5 compact laptop mice

Compact computer mouse A4Tech G3-270N has a symmetrical body, which makes it comfortable to grip with any hand. It is designed for use at home and in the office, and this is confirmed by the sensitivity of the sensor at 1000 dpi. This indicator is ideal for working in browsers, text editors and spreadsheets. The sensor ensures that files and data move smoothly and without jerks on almost any surface, whether it be carpet, bedspread, clothes or varnished table, thanks to the use of V-Track technology. The special design of the layout of the components inside ensures high sensitivity and accuracy of the cursor, allowing you to comfortably use the mouse even on the couch or from your knees without special rugs.

A4Tech G3-270N works on the principle of Plug & Play (plug and play). To get started, just insert a battery (1xAA) into the case, and the radio transmitter into the USB A connector of your laptop or PC. It should be noted that the receiver is very compact and does not interfere with the use of other connectors, and also does not require removal before packing the laptop in a bag. The range of the wireless transmitter is 10 meters, which allows you to freely position yourself away from the device, for example, when connecting a laptop to a TV to watch movies.

Taking into account the lack of backlighting and the presence of a power saving system, you will be able to work with a mouse on one battery for many months. The laconic design with a variety of color options and a standard set of controls (2 buttons + scroll wheel) allow you to adapt the mouse to various applications.

Xiaomi Mi Dual Mode Silent Edition is a high-quality and at the same time inexpensive mouse from the Chinese giant Xiaomi, designed primarily for work and study. Despite the democratic price tag, she knows a few tricks that are usually owned by more high-end mice. In particular, she is friends with both wireless connection formats - both with Bluetooth and radio at a frequency of 2.4 GHz. And on the case right under the wheel there is a button for changing the active connection. Thus, it can be simultaneously connected to a laptop and a conditional TV, instantly switching between devices.

The second distinguishing feature is silent operation. The case design uses rubberized pads that dampen noise and vibration when moving the case, while silent mechanical switches are installed in the design of the scroll and buttons. But they saved a little on the mechanics of the side buttons - they click like ordinary buttons and do not allow, with a clear conscience, to write Xiaomi Mi Dual Mode Silent Edition into the ranks of completely silent mice. However, with a price tag below $ 20, it would be strange to demand too much from her.

Otherwise, this is an excellent laptop mouse with a classic sensor (1300 DPI accuracy), symmetrical design, and thoughtful ergonomics. In particular, the body of the mouse is made in such a way that the “stern” rises above the “nose”, the base is unusually high and bevels towards the end. That is, in form it is the exact opposite of flat mice a la Apple Magic Mouse. It feels strange at first, but if you give it a little time, then this form seems really comfortable. Although, in fact, it's all a matter of taste.

A compact Bluetooth mouse that has a fairly simple design and a minimal set of functions necessary for simple daily activities. mouse It is made of plastic with a soft touch coating, which makes it pleasant to the touch and resistant to scratches. It is worth noting that it has a symmetrical body, so it is equally well suited for right-handed and left-handed people.

Body Microsoft Bluetooth Mouse weighs 78 grams, which can be called the golden mean. It is not too heavy and does not burden the hands, and at the same time not too light and does not suffer from accidental breakdowns. In general, the case turned out to be successful, the manipulator fits comfortably in the palm of your hand and does not slip out during sudden movements. To connect to a laptop or other device, a Bluetooth 5.0 receiver is used, which provides a stable signal transmission over a distance of up to 10 meters and consumes less power than previous versions of the Bluetooth protocol. In particular, the mouse requires only one AA battery to power it, which, according to Microsoft, will last for a year.

Otherwise, this is an excellent option for a high-quality, affordable and not overloaded with unnecessary functions mouse from a famous brand. The fundamental difference from most other laptop manipulators under $30 is the design. In addition to the classic black and white colors, Microsoft designers first released variations with trendy salmon, turquoise and coral colors. And then they supplemented them with a pack of manipulators with various camouflage textures.

Ergonomic mice are not to the liking of all laptop owners. For some users, the shape does not fit, for others, excessive bulge interferes with loading into a laptop bag. If you belong to one of these groups, then you may be interested in not quite the usual flat and silent manipulator Logitech Pebble M350.

This model features a symmetrical design with a low center of gravity. Unlike traditional mice that have a convex shape, the design of the M350 turned out to be so thin that the manipulator can be tucked into the back pocket of your trousers and carried around all day without experiencing any discomfort. At the same time, the company's engineers partially retained the classic shape and slightly raised the back of the mouse in relation to the "nose" so that the manipulator fits more comfortably in the hand and creates less stress on the hand. At the same time, the weight of the mouse is 100 grams, so it is not subject to accidental movements and cursor breaks.

The second signature feature of the Logitech Pebble M350 is the silent button switches and scroll wheel. Logitech claims a 90% reduction in click volume compared to conventional office mouses. Alas, we can’t check their words exactly, but it feels like it is, the buttons click barely audibly, and the wheel rustles barely noticeably when scrolling. Otherwise, this is a classic laptop mouse with a combined connection (Bluetooth + radio), a sensor with a sensitivity of 1000 DPI, a rich choice of colors and excellent autonomy. Due to the fact that the mouse quickly goes into sleep mode when idle, the manufacturer claims 18 months of battery life from a single AA battery.

Dell MS3320W is a high-end symmetrical mouse, which, according to the manufacturer, will be an excellent addition to a Dell Vostro laptop or an ultrabook from the Dell XPS fashion series. It has everything you need for productive work and there is nothing to distract from this very work. Namely, a comfortable body, an accurate and sensitive sensor with increased DPI, as well as a convenient scroll wheel with a quiet and reliable mechanism.

With a 1600 DPI sensor, the Dell MS3320W is ideal for handling 2K and 4K monitors. At the same time, the optical sensor provides accurate cursor tracking on most materials, including wood, fabric, pile or varnished table surfaces. As for the battery life, Dell promises nothing less than 3 years of continuous operation from a single AA battery. Against the background of the usual 6-12 months that other Bluetooth mice hold, this figure is impressive. Although, of course, a lot depends on the batteries themselves and the scenario of using the manipulator.

It is also necessary to note the quality of workmanship: in particular, the plastic case lies pleasantly in the hand and does not slip out even in extreme heat, and from the side the mouse looks like it was made of aluminium. Especially if we talk about gray, not black colors. The shape turned out to be quite comfortable, the height does not strain the hand, and the symmetrical design allows you to control it with both left and right hands.
