Reviews of The Best Mouse for Video Editing

We can already sense your excitement! We know, you are too curious to know about your favorite product.

When it comes to video editing, the first thing one should go for is the ergonomics and overall body of the mouse.

Logitech ensured that this model serves the purpose. The thumb wing of the mouse is like a cherry on top.  Its ergonomic body and grippy feel keep the hand at ease – even if you have been editing for long hours. At first, a few people might face challenges in getting comfortable with it, but it won’t take much longer!

This 8-buttoned mouse has a clickable scroll wheel. The buttons can be customized, making it easier for the video editor to enjoy a free hand over the buttons. Editors will be glad to know that the mouse has 2 scroll wheels! One for the vertical scrolling, and the other for the horizontal scrolling. The unlock-free scrolling is another show-stealer.

The maximum DPI adds more to the feature list. It has 4,000 DPI, maximum. It is adjustable though. But during editing, most editors tend not to go this high with the DPI.

However, it is not meant for people with small hands.

Let’s not forget that the mouse can track movements on almost every surface, including glass too! That is a major plus.

According to the brand claims, the mouse can deliver battery life up to 70 days, if you rely on a single charge. And honestly, we have never seen this brand lying.

The list of good features doesn’t end here. You will be happy to know that the mouse features outstanding connectivity, via both – Bluetooth, and receiver.

However, being big in size the mouse doesn’t support portability at all! But that isn’t a big problem because we rarely carry video editing mice along with us. It is always kept safely at the desktop setup.

Magic mouse works like magic for portability! It is a great compact design that lets you slip you the mouse easily into the bag. It is slim and sleek and offers a great video editing experience to the editor. Due to its thin shape, the mouse is functional with fingertip only.

Keep in mind that it requires a little practice to get habitual to its ergonomics. It is made out of acrylic and aluminum, making it a bit tricky to hold comfortably. But once you get habitual to it – there is no other better experience than this. However, premium quality products have been used, which makes this model highly durable.

The mouse has a unique design and shape overall. It cannot be used while being connected to the charger. This is because the charging port resides below the mouse. It doesn’t work with the receiver, but has a strong Bluetooth connection! No hiccups or lags have been noticed with the Bluetooth.

The best part is that the mouse can be turned off if it is not used for several minutes. This helps save battery to a great extent.

The feet have disappointed us a bit! They are made up of plastic and don’t offer an exceptional gliding experience. Of course, we except beyond perfection outcomes from the brand. But, it is good enough for video editing purposes.

When it comes to customization – the product does not offer much!

Having said that, not much customization is necessary for video editing. The DPI is 1,300, which is cool but it cannot be adjusted. Also, it only has one button, which can not be customized either. And neither does it have a physical scroll wheel.

Logitech has been a great example of perfect mice – G604 is another product rolled out by the company.

The thumb rest is a dream come true for video editors! It keeps the thumb at utmost rest, without causing hand aches. The overall ergonomics are also perfect for the mouse, ensuring to retain the hand for long hours without causing them to slip. The slanted design keeps the palm at rest too. In a nutshell – the design is great.

Moving on, G604 has optimized wireless connectivity. It comes with dual connectivity options i.e. Reciever, and Bluetooth. The receiver has a small compartment, which keeps the dongle safe. The battery time might be a little problematic for a few video editors since it has AA batteries only. In case you run out of batteries, you can use Bluetooth.

The gliding experience is great (better than Apple Magic). It can track movements over multiple surfaces. Also, you can use the mouse over the desk directly.

Great leverage for customization is featured in G604. 25,600 CPI is the maximum range, meanwhile, the minimum is 100 CPI. The wide range is quite impressive. And, the jaw-dropping part is that it has 15 buttons, and 6 side buttons too. In total, you can have 29 programmable inputs – YES!

The mouse is somewhat big in size – we agree, but it is decent enough to be carried if required. People who like light-weighted options might not be too much comfortable with the product.

This 5 buttoned mouse is a highly aesthetic mouse, ticking all the boxes for being the best mouse for video editing. It comes in multiple variants. Our personal favorite is white!

Out of 5 buttons, 2 buttons can be customized. The buttons produce crisp and fine clicks, every time they are clicked. It has a scroll wheel too, which is coated in metal paint. Although the wheel is made out of premium quality plastic. The wheel is highly responsive. You just need to tick it a little, and it will track the movement, immediately.

The mouse has a great battery life! It offers two AAAA batteries causing it to function on single pair of batteries for a longer period. This is an additional benefit since you do not need to worry about the battery running out of charge. However, you must not forget that it needs a disposal AAAA battery!

Moreover, the multi-device pairing feature extends the usage of the product. Being pairable with multiple devices catalyzes the process.

The product features a maximum DPI of 2400! Sadly, the DPI isn’t customizable. But it won’t bring much difference because, for the editing purpose, 2400 is fairly high.

We cannot underestimate its look. It is a great look and ergonomics too. It offers a great grip for mouse users. The firm grip makes sure your hand does not slip while using it. The thumb rest keeps the thumb at ease.

I am fairly impressed with the product’s shape. It feels nice to see that companies have been working to resolve the challenges of the audience regarding shape. Although the mouse shape is like a traditional one, it fits perfectly in the hand!

The scroll wheel of the product is efficient enough. It can be pressed to enable a certain option. I find this feature very useful for editing purposes.

The overall portability of the product is another major plus! The shape is quite compact. Although it is not so small, carrying it is not really hard. The compartment at the lower side of the mouse allows the user to carry the dongle easily.

The mouse can operate 20 feet away from the system, without any hiccups. But make sure there are no obstacles in between. This signifies the premium wireless connectivity of the product. However, we are sure – no one is going to sit 20 feet away from their system.

Also, it’s a plug-and-play mouse. This means, one really does not need to set up the entire software and configure the settings. You put in the receiver, and the system will automatically detect the mouse.

As per the brand claims; the product battery life is over 12 months. Logitech is one of the well-known brands, and we are sure – if it is claiming something, it will be true for sure!

The only problem that has been noticed is that the mouse battery cover is a bit loose. It must have been more rigid and sturdy for better battery protection.

Just like its name suggests – contour – it perfectly sits on the contour of the hands! It’s quite comfortable and accommodates the video editing experience fully. Its ergonomic feature retains the hand and doesn’t let it slip from the mouse.

The mouse’s shape is completely innovative. With thumb support and an adjustable angle, it becomes easier for one to receive unparalleled comfort. No matter whether you are a right-hand user or a left-hand user, this mouse is a perfect choice for you.

Along with featuring 2.4Ghz wireless technology, the product features 6 programmable buttons and 10 cursor speed adjustments for an optimized experience. The wireless connectivity is so strong that even if the mouse is placed 25 feet away from the system – it can function smoothly. Being a feature-packed mouse, it enables the user to enjoy video editing without any lags.

We call this mouse a pretty innovative one since it features a hinge mechanism. Via this mechanism, the mouse can be adjusted according to the natural posture of your hand. The high customization it offers minimizes the chances of hand strain or aches.

Another unique feature of the mouse is that it has 3 buttons on the product. And all of the buttons are of equal sizes and have a smart placement. This means, even if you wish to operate the mid button with your left or right finger, you can do it, smoothly, without changing the posture of your hand.

The best part is that the mouse is plug and play device. This means one will not have to spend hours setting up the profile or making the device compatible with the system. The signifies how advanced the product is. 

DPI of the product plays a keen role! The 2,800 DPI of the mouse makes sure that the user has a smooth experience the whole time. The minimum DPI is 800. And yes, needless to mention that the DPI is customizable.

If you look at this mouse, you’ll understand why it is on the list! Its trackball feature consumes minimum space. You really do not need to travel the mouse from one part of the mousepad to another part of the mousepad. The trackball is a metal tilt plate, that is adjusted to function the cursor on the screen.

Even though it might take you some time getting used to the trackball, you will simply love the experience once you do so.

The product has been smartly designed for people who use a palm grip. For the palm rest, it has a rubberized grip too. The tilt plate can be tilted up to 20°, making sure that the hand of the user doesn’t get tired at all.

This high-end mouse features two connectivity options. Either you can connect it via Bluetooth, or may make use of its wireless connectivity feature. No lags have been reported with the connectivity. This means while editing, one can run the system smoothly.

We can confidently claim that the mouse offers a good space for customization. It has 10 buttons and most of them can be reprogrammed. The button placement is effectively done to ensure that the user doesn’t have to struggle for reaching the buttons.

But while reading the pros, do not forget that the mouse isn’t portable at all. Being hefty in size, the mouse loses its potential to be carried in laptop bags. You will have to carry it separately if you wish to take it along.

This mouse offers great value for money. The product has been made out of top-quality products, making it the best option to invest in.

Hey leftie, you might be out of luck this time! It is because this shiny black attractive mouse has been produced for right-hand users only. For a few people, the DPI isn’t a big impressive feature for many people. The maximum DPI is 1,000 making it unsuitable for a lot of people. But honestly, this DPI is good enough for video editing purposes.

The product has a traditional shape. However, the logo is quite prominent. The white logo pops out on the black shiny body. The rubberized part for the grip helps the user to get a firm grip over the product. You can operate the mouse without getting your hand fatigued.

The mouse has 3 buttons in total. Well honestly, it can be a little less for many people. But for video editing purposes, the number of buttons is enough. The buttons have been placed at the right place, which let the users reach them easily.

The clicks of the mouse are pretty silent! They are not muted, totally, but comparatively, they produce less noisy clicks.

24-month battery life is an attribute of the product. The brand claims that a single pair of batteries can do so! And honestly, we do trust the claims of Logitech.
