Our Verdict

Microsoft Arc Mouse

Logitech M240

The Microsoft Arc Mouse and the Logitech M240 are basic, compact wireless mice. The Microsoft has an arc shape that collapses flat for better portability. It doesn't have a conventional scroll wheel but rather a tactile surface that registers swiping gestures for scrolling. On the other hand, the Logitech has a more conventional rounded shape and a normal scroll wheel design. Additionally, its left- and right-click buttons are also quieter.
