GAMIAC PA50

GAMIAC PA50

5.6/10verdict: good, not the best

The GAMIAC PA50 is for right-handed users who want a wired optical mouse with programmable buttons and a high-DPI sensor. It suits desk setups where a cable is no problem and batteries are unwelcome. It is a poor fit for anyone who needs wireless, Bluetooth or a left-handed shape.

Logitech MX Anywhere 3S

6.1/10verdict: good, not the best

The MX Anywhere 3S is a compact wireless mouse for people who carry a laptop and switch between devices. It suits right-handed users with small to medium hands who want a praised scroll wheel and wide surface support.
