A 2021 study found that nature sounds — particularly water and birdsong — can work to reduce stress, enhance cognitive performance, and improve your mood. Unfortunately, audible mouse clicks and finger scrolls are a far cry from the sound of a babbling brook, and might be distracting both to you and the people around you. To keep things low-key, the best quiet mouse will be engineered with soft dampers that make buttons and scrolling wheels nearly noiseless, creating a more tranquil environment. They come in a range of designs, including flat, ergonomic, and highly sensitive styles for gaming, and they vary in price depending on the features you want.
