Looking for the best USB-C mouse? You’re not alone, and for good reasons. Firstly, USB-C is the standard on new laptops. And secondly, the connections are smaller than the older USB-A, which means you can plug in either way up. So whether you want to go wired or wireless, USB-C is the way to go.
In our guide, we’ve chosen the best USB-C mouse options for different needs and budgets. We’ve evaluated each for pressure sensitivity (DPI), productivity-enhancing features like programmable buttons, and ergonomics. We’ve also taken account of value and portability.
For more options, see our choices of the best mouse overall. We also have a guide to the best mouse for MacBook. And for more USB-C devices, see our roundups of the best USB-C monitors and the best power banks.
Why you can trust Creative Bloq
Our expert reviewers spend hours testing and comparing products and services so you can choose the best for you. Find out more about how we test.
01. Logitech MX Master 3
The best USB-C mouse overall
Interface: Bluetooth and 2.4GHz wireless
DPI: 4,000
This mouse is packed with useful features, it performs brilliantly and its DPI goes up to 4,000. That means it’ll track perfectly on pretty much any surface, including glass. It also has programmable buttons and a thumb wheel. For more, see our Logitech MX Master 3S for Mac review.
02. Logitech MX Anywhere
Portable alternative to the MX Master 3
Interface: Bluetooth and 2.4GHz wireless
DPI: 4,000
If you’d prefer something a bit cheaper and less chunky than the number one pick on our list, try this compact alternative. It loses the thumbwheel but is otherwise functionally identical, and it’s perfect for slinging in a bag to take out and about.
03. Seenda Wireless Mouse
The best cheap USB-C mouse
Interface: BT5.0/BT3.0/2.4G wireless
DPI: Up to 2,400
Despite being cheap, this mouse benefits from a noise-reduction design, while its ergonomic design makes it comfortable to use all day. It also has an adjustable DPI up to 2,400, a good range through three modes (BT5.0, BT3.0 and 2.4G wireless), and charges via USB-C.
04. AURTEC Type C Wireless
Affordable, solid performer
Interface: Bluetooth and 2.4GHz wireless
DPI: 800/1200/1600 (adjustable)
This mouse, which takes AAA batteries, comes at a low price and performs well. The 2.4GHz wireless connection works within a 10-metre range, as well as three handy DPI settings that you can cycle between, simply by holding the left button and scrolling the wheel.
05. Macally USB C Mouse for Mac
The best USB mouse for Mac
DPI: 800/1200/1600/2400 (adjustable)
Battery: None
Here’s a wired mouse made with Macs in mind, although it’s also Windows-compatible and it’ll also work with pretty much anything with USB-C port. It comes with a generous 5ft cable and adjustable DPI all the way up to 2,400, which should be more than enough for most people.
06. Logictech MX Vertical Mouse
The best vertical USB-C mouse
Interface: USB-C, wireless and Bluetooth
DPI: 400-4,000
Vertical mouses orient your hand and wrist in a more natural ‘handshake’ position, which makes them better to avoid putting RSI. This mouse takes a bit of getting used to but offer great relief for your wrists. It has six functional buttons and is compatible with Windows and Mac.
07. Redragon M686 Vampire Elite Gaming
The best USB-C mouse for gaming
Interface: USB-C, wireless
DPI: 1,000-16,000
This mouse with a backlit design is purpose-built for gaming. It boasts DPI up to 16,000, eight customisable buttons and wireless 2.4Ghz nano for low latency. The ergonomics make it easy for gamers to use this mouse, and battery life can be extended with an eco-mode.
08. Jelly Comb rechargeable wireless mouse
Basic but nice and cheap
Interface: USB-C, wireless
DPI: USB-C and USB-A 2.4 GHz wireless
This budget USB-C mouse is very cheap indeed. And while it’s a little basic, it does the job, with an adjustable DPI up to 1,600 and a 2.4GHZ connection with a range of up to 15 metres. You get both a USB-C and USB-A port, which makes it a flexible option for using with different devices.
09. Verbatim Go Mini optical USB-C mouse
The best mini optical USB-C mouse for travel
Interface: USB-C, wired
DPI: Not given
The mouse is very small and we found it jittery at times, with the mouse sometimes sticking. But, that disclaimer aside, if you’re looking for a mouse that’s super light, takes up barely any space and could help you out in an emergency, this should do the job.
How should I choose the best USB-C mouse?
The first thing to consider when choosing the best USB-C mouse for you is whether you want a wireless or wired mouse. Wireless mice are now the norm, and most of our picks for the best USB-C mouse are wireless. They have the advantage of being, well, wireless, so you don’t have a cable dragging across your desk. The downside however is that they require batteries, which will need charging or replacing at some point.
A lot of the negatives that wireless mice used to suffer from have now been resolved: they’re no longer so bulky as they used to be, and the batteries can now usually last for months. That said, we have also included the best wired USB-C mice because with a wireless USB-C mouse. Wired USB-C mice are still usually lighter, and they never need to be charged.
The other thing to consider when choosing the best USB-C mouse is DPI, which here refers to a mouse’s sensitivity. The higher the DPI, the further your pointer travels in response to each movement. Some gaming mice offer a DPI of up to 25,000, which seems impressive but is actually unusable; for everyday use, a DPI of around 1,000 should be more than adequate. Most of the best USB-mouse options have adjustable DPI so you can modify the level of sensitivity.
What USB-C mouse is most comfortable to use?
Finally, you need to consider size and shape. Our pick as the best USB-C mouse overall is a little bulky and might not be the best option if you want something you can slip into a bag to use on the go. That’s why we’ve also included some smaller mice. Many people find these less precise and less comfortable to use during long sessions, but they’re handy if you need a mouse that you can throw in a bag to carry with you.
Even the best cheap USB-C mouse won’t be the best when it comes to ergonomics. A larger mouse that’s designed to fit the hand will be more comfortable. To take things further, some people swear by vertical mice, which are designed to put less pressure on the wrist.
