2025 Mouse Market
I decided to embrace 2025 and finally go wireless with my mouse game. What a mistake. I just burnt 90 minutes searching high and low, trying (and failing) to make a decision. My stream of consciousness for the last 90 mins went a bit like this:
- How are there so many options?
- Will this work with my mac or not?
- Will it make me install some horrible software?
- Just what is DPI and Hz and why should I care?
- Consensus is Bluetooth mice are still laggy and crap
- Wow mice are really boring
- Why are there girl mice?
- Fuck, these are so expensive!
- Reading mouse reviews how do you make an unreliable mouse?
- Most of these products are the same
- Of course there is a Reddit for mice
- The more money you spend the more buttons you get… unless it’s by Apple… then you get no buttons
- Maybe I should just buy the Apple mouse
From my 90 minutes of experience, I can surmise the market for mice in 2025 is oversaturated with expensive product that has little differentiation and doesn’t know how to sell mice to people who aren’t mice nerds.
