Overview

First released back in late 2020, the Microsoft Bluetooth Ergonomic Mouse is a high-end wireless productivity model that boasts a comfortable molded grip along with a right-handed ergonomic design for office use.

Similar to some of the best-rated computer mouse models available out there in its range, this mouse uses a 2400 DPI optical sensor and features five programmable buttons.

But while the Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center app does allow button customization, you, unfortunately, can’t adjust the DPI settings.

If you like to adjust the DPI settings in accordance with your needs and want a wireless mouse from the same manufacturer, then make sure to take a look at our Microsoft Arc Mouse review.

Sadly, the Microsoft Bluetooth Ergonomic Mouse only works with devices that feature a built-in Bluetooth receiver chip. If you need a mouse that comes with a dongle, visit our Logitech MX Vertical Ergonomic Mouse review.

What Is Not on the Box

What the brand doesn’t always tell you…

our Verdict

The Microsoft Bluetooth Ergonomic Mouse is a great option for those looking for a large-sized but portable wireless office mouse to use with a Windows PC.

It boasts an excellent overall build quality along with an ergonomically comfortable design for right-handed palm gripped users but isn’t well designed for claw gripped or left-handed users.

And it sports an excellent 2400 DPI sensor, but it isn’t adjustable. In addition, it sports an excellent battery life, as it is tested to last up to 15 months on two AAA cells. And measured at just 91 grams, it is extremely lightweight.

If you need better ergonomics, then take a look at our Anker 2.4G Wireless Vertical Ergonomic Optical Mouse review. And for a smaller mouse, check our Microsoft Ocean Plastic Mouse review.

While both are wireless mice, the Microsoft Bluetooth Ergonomic Mouse runs on two AAA batteries with a strong battery life of about 15 months, whereas the Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000 uses a single AA battery with around ten months of run time. However, the Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000 does come with a USB dongle, which means it can connect to every device that has a USB input, unlike the Ergonomic Mouse, which is only compatible with devices that have Bluetooth built-in.

The ASUS ROG Gladius III Wireless AimPoint Gaming Mouse, as the name suggests, is primarily geared toward gamers. In contrast, the Microsoft Bluetooth Ergonomic Mouse is more meant for productivity and office use. And the Gladius III Wireless Mouse features a significantly better 36000 DPI optical sensor than the Ergonomic Mouse’s 2400 DPI optical sensor. Additionally, despite being a wireless product, you can use the Gladius in its wired mode for a lower latency while gaming, unlike the Microsoft mouse.

Even though both have wireless connectivity, the Logitech MX Master 2S Wireless Mouse features a unifying USB receiver that accepts input from up to three devices at the same time along with Bluetooth, unlike the Microsoft Bluetooth Ergonomic Mouse, which only has Bluetooth. And thanks to its multiple modes of wireless connectivity, the Logitech Mouse can also connect to up to three devices at the same time, which Microsoft lacks. The Logitech mouse also has a side scroll wheel for horizontal scrolling.

The Microsoft Surface Precision Mouse is the precursor to the newer Microsoft Bluetooth Ergonomic Mouse. But the older Microsoft Surface Precision Mouse does have a better 3200 DPI optical sensor than the Microsoft Bluetooth Ergonomic Mouse’s 2400 DPI sensor. Moreover, the Microsoft Surface Precision Mouse has an internal rechargeable battery (sealed lithium-ion) that lasts around three months. In comparison, the Microsoft Bluetooth Ergonomic mouse uses two AAA replaceable batteries that last for 15 months.
