#1 Logitech Signature Comfort Plus M850 L
3.0

The mouse is fine for occasional or casual games, but its office-focused polling and sensor setup are not suited to competitive play.

Pros: Accuracy and tracking precision, materials quality

Cons: onboard memory, tilt wheel support

#2 Logitech MX Master 4
2.9

Casual and slower-paced games are workable, but reviewers repeatedly warn that the weight and 125 Hz polling rate make this a poor fit for competitive or twitch-heavy gaming.

Pros: software usability, software stability

Cons: double-click reliability, warranty

#3 Logitech MX Anywhere 3S
2.1

The 8,000 DPI sensor is fast enough for casual or temporary gaming, but the mouse is not built for competitive play. Bluetooth latency, limited controls, and productivity-focused ergonomics keep it...

Pros: motion consistency, programmable buttons

Cons: palm grip comfort, hand support

#4 Logitech MX Master 3S
2.0

The MX Master 3S can handle casual games, but reviewers consistently discourage it for competitive play because of its weight, 125Hz polling, and productivity-first design.

Pros: motion consistency, left and right click quality

Cons: switch durability, onboard memory

#5 Apple Magic Mouse
1.3

Gaming suitability is poor: low ergonomics, Bluetooth-only wireless, sparse buttons, and the touch-style click mechanism all work against serious play.

Pros: handedness options, grip texture

Cons: programmable buttons, macro support
