While the MacBook trackpad is great, you may prefer to use an external mouse. Here, we share our best finds. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Look For in a MacBook Mouse<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For the most part, when looking for a mouse to go with your MacBook, you would want the same attributes as in any good mouse. Since you\u2019re pairing a mouse with a thin-and-light laptop, portability might be a key consideration.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many people use their MacBooks on desks or tables, and a full-size mouse isn\u2019t that much harder to transport than a \u201ctravel\u201d mouse. That said, if you\u2019re just rocking a minimalist laptop sleeve for your MacBook, an ultra-slim mouse might be the way to go.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For us, ergonomics is far more important than portability. So, for most of the picks we\u2019ve made here, the focus is mainly on a mice’s comfort.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most mice in this roundup use Bluetooth, and we did not consider proprietary connectivity. After all, modern MacBooks only have two to four USB-C ports, and the last thing you want to do is use a port for a dongle when you have so few already. That said, we included one mouse with a USB dongle because it impressed us on many other fronts.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Battery life is a high priority, and these mice should generally offer weeks of battery power. If you\u2019re only going to use the mouse when you leave the house (as opposed to having it permanently part of your desk setup), having a dedicated off button is a nice feature, too.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If there are any Mac-specific functions, such as an extra button that calls up Mission Control<\/a>, then that\u2019s a bonus, but we think getting a mouse that gets the basics right is much more critical.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that you know our criteria for picking the best mice for a MacBook pairing, let\u2019s look at the final list of winners.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
