Our Verdict
Logitech M525
AmazonBasics 3-Button USB Wired Mouse
The Logitech M525 and the AmazonBasics 3-Button USB Wired Mouse are straightforward office mice with satisfactory build quality. However, the materials both mice are made of feel fairly cheap. The Logitech is a wireless model with customization software and a scroll wheel with left and right inputs. On the other hand, the AmazonBasics is a wired-only model without customization software or scroll wheel tilt inputs.
