Is the Surface Precision Mouse worth it?

It is worth it if you regularly move between two or three computers and want programmable thumb buttons in one mouse. If you only use one PC, a cheaper Bluetooth mouse does the same basic job.

How do I switch it between computers?

Pair it over Bluetooth with up to three machines, then press the button on the underside to move between them. Switching takes a second or two and does not need re-pairing.

How long does the battery last and how do I charge it?

Microsoft rates the rechargeable battery at up to three months per charge. Plug in the included USB cable to charge and keep using it wired.

Does it work with a Mac?

Basic pointing and scrolling usually work over Bluetooth, but the listed compatibility is Windows 8.1 and Windows 10, and the button customization software is Windows-only.

You get the mouse and a USB charging cable. There is no USB receiver, so your computer needs Bluetooth.

It tends to drop during Microsoft Store and major retailer sales events, and around new Surface hardware launches. Check the price history chart before buying.

Our take on the Microsoft Surface Precision Mouse

The Surface Precision Mouse is Microsoft's premium wireless mouse for Windows work, with Bluetooth pairing to up to three computers and a rechargeable battery rated for up to three months. It has three programmable thumb buttons, a metal scroll wheel with horizontal swipe scrolling, and optical tracking that works on wood, glass and plastic. At 135 g it is heavier than most office mice, which suits steady cursor control more than fast gaming. No current price was provided, so check the live comparison before buying.
