To help you choose the best option, CR put eight popular models to the test. The Microsoft Sculpt, for example, is like a small ramp with enough horizontal DNA to feel familiar in your hand, but enough pitch to ease the stress on your forearm. (See the Logitech MX Ergo and Logitech M570, below.) This design can be helpful if moving the mouse causes pain in your wrist. Others use the familiar horizontal design, but remain stationary on the mousepad, using a trackball maneuvered by a thumb to steer the cursor. (See the Adesso iMouse E1 and Logitech MX910 below.) This helps reduce pronation, the twisting of your forearm when your palm faces downward. Some models slope upward, like a joystick, placing your hand in a handshake position. The MX Master 2S is available now for $99.99, while the MX Anywhere 2S sells for $79.99.In response, Adesso, Logitech, Microsoft, and other companies have developed ergonomic mice, designed like ergonomic keyboards to place less stress on your wrists, forearms, and shoulders.

Things like copying and pasting text, images, or even whole files works across the computers - in a hands on demo, I saw a single mouse copy from a TextEdit document on a MacBook Pro and paste it to a Surface sitting next to it.įlow also is compatible with several other Logitech mice, including M585 Multi-Device and M590 Multi-Device Silent, along with several keyboards (the Flow software uses the mouse location to decide which computer the keyboard inputs to.) And if you do use multiple computers like this, then Flow is a pretty slick trick.įlow works by linking two computers connected to the same Wi-Fi network, and is compatible with both Macs and PCs at the same time.

While I don't personally use multiple computers at the same time, according to Logitech, over 39% of adults in the US do, for purposes like programming, video editing, and stock trading. It’s basically a software version of the old keyboard-video-mouse (KVM) hardware switches that have been around for years. So, simply drag your mouse over to the edge of one computer, and the cursor will seamlessly pop up on the other computer automatically. While the previous versions of the MX mice were capable of quickly switching between multiple computers at the press of a button on the bottom, Flow takes it a step further, by seamlessly allowing the mouse to switch between two different computers just like a single computer switching between two monitors. But the biggest addition is a new software feature called Logitech Flow.
