Our Verdict
Logitech MX Master 3
Microsoft Pro IntelliMouse
The Logitech MX Master 3 is an excellent wireless office mouse, while the Microsoft Pro IntelliMouse is a good wired gaming mouse. The Logitech connects wired or wirelessly either with its USB receiver or via Bluetooth. It feels much sturdier and has a thumb rest that's also a gesture button. It has more total buttons, a thumb scroll, a primary scroll wheel that unlocks for free scrolling and has L/R tilts buttons, and companion software for Windows and macOS. Comparatively, the Microsoft is a wired mouse that's significantly lighter, has a wider CPI range, a lower lift-off distance, and a higher polling rate.
