What Brand of non-apple mouse should I get?

[HackerJL]

I am throwing the towel in on getting an apple Magic Mouse to work with either my MBP or my Mac mini at home. Im fine with it.

I had a friend lend me a Logitech MX310 and while it works, I find it really lacking the accuracy. It feels laggy, or off a bit. The biggest issue is the inability to switch spaces/screens like the magic mouse when I two-finger swipe sideways.

Any mouse out there that wont break the bank and be useful? Be interested in everyones thoughts on this.

Thank you all!

What issues are you having "getting an apple Magic Mouse to work with" your computers? I've been using the MM (MM and MM2) for years and love them... don't have any issues with any of them on any of my Macs. That said, I cannot recommend anything else, but would like to understand the issue(s) that you are having.

Magic Mice Problems - replace?

I started having this problem with my new 2019 MacBook Pro 13" and a new magic mouse 2. Before that I was using a 2015 MacBook Pro Retina 13" and a gen one magic mouse. I'd have the usual battery issues with the previous mouse but not the kind of almost daily dropping I'm getting with the MM 2...

I have not seen that behavior... but I can imagine how maddening it must be.

ya, frankly Ive given up. When you love the ecosystem so much, but when your mouse stops working a million times a day, its enough to make you want to leave it.

Did you try fixing in preferences the problems you encountered in the Logitech ?

I would recommend a wired mouse for best response / accuracy and be sure that you get a full sized mouse.

I have used it for a day now, so I think I'm just getting used to it. As for the scroll wheel, I found that using BetterTouchTool to assign it as 'show spaces' - so I think thats working.

Need it be wireless?

I was really impressed with the new Microsoft Ergonomic Mouse at the store the other day.
Super comfortable. Wired though (a major plus for some people - drawback for others)

Buy Microsoft Surface Ergonomic Mouse - Microsoft Store

Enjoy a fast and responsive wired mouse with ergonomic features for ultimate comfort on your desktop.

Ya, Ive never met a wireless Microsoft Mouse that was good. Wired, no problem.

Not sure where you're at, but other than MS stores, they are on display at BestBuy
Very comfy
