Buying guide
Which one is right for you
MousesThe full mouse range - most of it wireless, which is why this page is small.
Wireless MiceThe same sensors without a cable, if drag is the thing you want to be rid of.
Gaming MiceCompetitive shapes, wired and wireless, grouped by use rather than cable.
Setup accessoriesParacord cables, skates and the small upgrades a wired mouse actually uses.
Mouse padsA consistent surface matters more once a cable is no longer the variable.
Key terms, explained
- Cable drag
- The tug a stiff cable applies to the mouse as it catches on the desk. It is the main disadvantage of playing wired, and it is mostly solved with a softer cable or a bungee.
- Paracord
- A lightweight, very flexible braided cable. It is the usual aftermarket upgrade on a wired mouse, and it removes most of the drag of a stock rubber cable.
- Mouse bungee
- A weighted arm that holds the cable above the desk so it cannot snag mid-flick. The accessory that makes a wired mouse feel closest to wireless.
- USB polling
- How often a wired mouse reports over the cable. With no radio involved, wired polling is the most stable of the three connection types and usually the highest the hardware allows.
- Hot-plug
- The ability to plug the mouse in and have it work immediately, with no dongle pairing and no battery. The unglamorous daily advantage of a cable.
- Cable noise
- The sound and vibration of a cable sliding across the desk or rubbing the mouse itself. A bungee reduces both by taking the slack off the surface.
- Split-second power-off
- What a wireless mouse does when the battery dies. A wired mouse cannot do this. For some people that single fact is the whole argument.
