Combined ranking
- 1
Logitech MX Anywhere 3S—7 pts
GPT #4Claude #1Gemini —At ~$80 it's the most refined sub-$80 pick — silent clicks, the near-frictionless MagSpeed electromagnetic scroll wheel, 8K-DPI tracking that works on glass, multi-device Easy-Switch, USB-C fast charging, and Bolt/Bluetooth. Compact but premium build.
To stay #1 Lose the small, cramped shape for larger hands — a slightly bigger body (or a full-size sibling under $80) would make it a no-compromise all-rounder.

Logitech G305 Lightspeed—6 pts
GPT —Claude #2Gemini #4Best performance-per-dollar at ~$40 — HERO sensor, true low-latency Lightspeed wireless that rivals far pricier gaming mice, ~250hr on a single AA, and feather-light at 99g. Doubles as a reliable everyday mouse.
To rank higher Add a rechargeable battery and Bluetooth so it isn't AA-only and dongle-only — that single change would make it viable beyond gaming.

GPT —Claude #3Gemini #5The standout ergonomic option under $80 (~$60) — 57° vertical angle that eases wrist strain, quiet clicks, multi-device switching, Bolt/Bluetooth, and sizes for small/medium hands.

GPT —Claude #4Gemini —~$60 gets dual HyperSpeed + Bluetooth, 6 programmable buttons, a comfortable right-handed shape, and absurd ~450hr battery life. Strong sensor for both work and casual gaming.
