Rank history
Just missed the top 5
GPT Logitech MX Master 3S — best productivity mouse overall but usually above $80 unless discounted · Keychron M7 8K — excellent performance value but more gaming-focused and less productivity-specialized than the M6
Claude Logitech MX Master 3S — the outright best productivity mouse, but its $99 list price sits over the $80 cap outside of sales · Keychron M3 Mini Metal — superb lightweight build and 8K polling for the price, but its gaming-first design lacks multi-device switching and productivity software depth
Gemini Logitech Signature M650 — missed the top 5 because it lacks multi-device pairing and switching support · Logitech G305 Lightspeed — missed because it is built for gaming and lacks productivity features like Bluetooth or a free-spinning scroll wheel
