Why we picked it: The Logitech MX Master 3S continues its reign as the undisputed king of productivity mice. In our testing, its ergonomic contours provided unmatched support during exhaustive eight-hour workdays, earning a perfect 10 in our Ergonomics & Comfort dimension. The 8,000 DPI Darkfield sensor is a game-changer for those who work across varying environments, effortlessly tracking on high-gloss surfaces and thick glass tables where traditional optical sensors fail.

The integration of Logitech Flow software enables seamless crossover control between multiple computers, including cross-platform text and file copy-pasting.
