Better Than Magic Mouse: MX Master 3S
Apple Magic Mouse's flat shape is uncomfortable for long sessions. Logitech MX Master 3S is ergonomic, has multi-device pairing (one button switches between iPhone/iPad/Mac), and has customizable side buttons.
Even Better: Magic Trackpad on iPad
iPadOS supports trackpad gestures natively. 3-finger swipe = app switcher. 4-finger pinch = home. For iPad-as-laptop, trackpad > mouse.
