The Logitech MX Master 3S succeeds the popular MX Master 3, and it's only gotten better. It boasts the same versatility as its predecessors including those seven customizable buttons and three connectivity options, and a battery life that's as long as ever with up to 70 days of charge.

That said, Bluetooth has its advantages. If you want to connect to a device without an open USB port for a 2.4GHz dongle, such as a phone or tablet, you’ll need Bluetooth. Also, in some newer wireless mice, Bluetooth winds up draining less power than 2.4GHz, leading to longer battery life. In the end, choosing 2.4GHz versus Bluetooth comes down to the computer to which you'll connect your mouse. But having the option for both is best, especially for productivity-focused models. The Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro is an incredible gaming mouse that's light as a feather and just as supportive for palm grippers as it is for gamers with a claw grip. It's obvious that Razer has put a lot of painstaking attention to detail when it comes to its form. As a result, you've got a gaming mouse that offers the best and most comfortable experience, whether they're gaming or working. If the mouse is not functioning, see our mouse troubleshooting section. Connecting a Bluetooth mouseOn your Windows 10 PC, select Connect if a notification appears for your mouse, then wait for it to get set up. To get set up, you’ll need a PC that’s running Windows 11 with support for Bluetooth 4.0 or later. This mouse supports Swift Pair in Windows 11 for faster pairing.

There are a few different kinds of wireless charging, which vary by brand, so it’s important to identify how the feature works. Many manufacturers, including Corsair and HyperX, have adopted the Qi wireless charging standard, so the mice can be charged on the same charging pads used for phones and other devices. (All of them, of course, would be happy to sell you a charging pad or mousepad with a built-in charging spot.) At least one company, Logitech, still relies on a proprietary charging technology, which adds unique benefits but makes the feature an expensive add-on, which isn’t ideal. To change how any special buttons work on your mouse, additional software may need to be installed. If the mouse is not functioning, see our mouse troubleshooting section. Connecting a wired USB mouse If the mouse connects via USB, make sure USB is enabled and, if available, also ensure the USB legacy support is enabled. USB legacy support allows the mouse to work in legacy mode, for example, DOS. Mouse troubleshooting To connect a wireless USB mouse to your computer, you must have the USB receiver that comes with it. Without the receiver, there is no way to connect the wireless USB mouse to your computer. With gaming mice, things get more complicated. The number of buttons often corresponds to the type of mouse you’re buying: Esports mice are designed to minimize weight, so most keep it to six. First-person shooter (FPS) mice often add extra dpi-switcher controls, so they tend to hit eight to 10. Specialized MMO mice have a ton of buttons to replicate the function keys on a keyboard, so they often have 15 or more. To be clear, more isn’t always better: Adding buttons adds weight and, if poorly designed, creates uncomfortable movements that are slow to reach and can hurt your hand with overuse. That said, companies are still finding new ways to add inputs without compromising comfort, so it is possible to find mice that defy these categories.

After the mouse is connected, the computer should automatically install the drivers and provide basic functionality. To change how any special buttons work on your mouse, additional software may need to be installed. Press and hold the pair button on the bottom of the mouse until the LED light starts to flash (about 5 seconds). Connectivity, battery life, and software are all important features to consider when looking specifically for a wireless mouse, but they’re ultimately irrelevant if the mouse you’re looking at doesn’t nail the important design features we look for in any mouse.

Depending on the mouse brand, your computer may need to connect to the Internet to install the drivers automatically. Most wireless mice feature built-in lithium-ion batteries, which can be recharged using a micro-USB or, less commonly, a USB Type-C cable. (USB-C is easier to plug in and can supply more power.) If you're using a serial mouse and it's not detected, verify the serial ports or COM ports are enabled and assigned correctly in BIOS.
