Today, we’re going to be finding the best gaming mouse for Mac users in 2024. Yes, we hear your confusion, but, there are a considerable number of people who game on Mac platforms. This means that we have some work to do, as we can’t in good conscience, let those people play games with the god-awful mice that come with macs.
Luckily, most gaming mice have native compatibility with macs. Even if the software is incompatible, the base functionality, and therefore the potential performance benefits, will still be available.
So, that means we’ll be avoiding the gaming mice that are so deeply intertwined with software that a lot of their features closed off without it. With the explanations out of the way, here is the best gaming mouse for mac users in 2024.
Best gaming mouse for Mac: Logitech G Pro X Superlight
As luck would have it, our current gaming mouse of the year, the Logitech G Pro X Superlight, is fully compatible with Macs, and, luck even smiles on us a second time, as Logitech G Hub is available for Mac, so you can mess with the setting as much as you like.

Aside from the Mac support, there is a lot to like about the Logitech G Pro X Superlight. The ambidextrous shape makes it suitable for any gamer, the 63-gram weight allows you to flick it across the mat at pace, and the HERO 25K sensor is essentially unbeaten, especially so far as we’ve noticed during our gaming mouse testing process.

Best ergonomic gaming mouse for Mac: Logitech G502 X Plus
As with the G Pro X Superlight, the G502 X Plus is also fully compatible, allowing Mac users to take advantage of its ergonomic shape, identically accurate sensor, and delightfully subtle RGB lighting.

What to consider when looking for the best Gaming mouse for Mac
First up is one we’ve said before but it bears repeating now: Software, or lack thereof. As a lot of gaming mice are supported with software,, we strongly urge you to consider whether you actually need said software, or whether the software in question is available for Mac.
Luckily, unless you’re overly concerned about RGB lighting or polling rates, the software is generally not needed for the base functionality of the gaming mouse in question. Luckily, more and more brands are porting their software to MacOS, for example Logitech’s G Hub software.
Luckily, unlike keyboards, there are no MacOS-specific functions for gaming mice, so you don’t need to think about profiles or design differences.
Will any gaming mouse work on a Mac?
Yes. However, proprietary peripheral software isn’t always developed with MacOS in mind, meaning that you might not have access to all the functionality and customization options.
Are Macs good for gaming?
Yes, you can certainly game on a mac, but given the overwhelming popularity of the windows platform, the Mac gets less support, as such, isn’t as catered for.
