I use the full size logitech M510 for years without any issues.   I never think about it.  It just works.   The tiny receiver fits inside by the battery when traveling.   Replaced my last one just because the rubber started to peel.  About $25.

Have wireless mice really grown up in recent years?

I've used bunches and all of them were absolute garbage except Logitech who's had it pretty well dialed for years.
I keep trying others, cheap, expensive, doesn't matter they all never match up to even the cheap $15 models from Logitech and the only reason for it I can come up with is that none of them do any real testing, they buy the chip and assume it works. Also, do NOT use bluetooth unless it's for casual office type use, even from Logitech, and if you do make sure it's bluetooth low power or it will be even worse.

Get a decent Logitech, use the included receiver, place it close to the mouse (I have mine mounted under my desk just a foot ahead of it) and it will work great. Don't plug it into the back of an EMI blocking case 4 feet away and then wonder why reception stinks ("it said up to 40 feet!)", can't tell you how many customers I see do that, then they wonder why the mouse is always laggy.
