MY FAVORITE MOUSE is Logitech’s Performance Mouse MX ($100 MSRP go.macworld.com/mousemx; $59 on Amazon go.macworld. com/mousemxamz).
I’ve been using it for years, and it’s still going strong. Logitech has another mouse that’s just as good: the MX Master ($100 MSRP go.macworld.com/mxmaster; $70 on Amazon go.macworld.com/mastermxamz). The MX Master is a lot like the Performance Mouse MX, but it has features that make it stand out.
BUTTONS
The MX Master is a mouse with five buttons for righties. There are the left and right buttons, as usual. Along the left side of the mouse are back and forward buttons that are set by default to be used as the back and forward functions in your browser. The fifth button is located on the thumb cradle, and by default, it’s set as a “gesture button,” where you hold the button down and then move the mouse up, down, left, or right to perform the same three-finger gestures you can perform on Apple’s Multi-Touch touchpad (go.macworld.com/multitouch pad). All the button functions can be customized from their defaults using the Logitech Options software, which is accessible through System Preferences after installation.
