• the tiniest option: Logitech Pebble Mouse 2 M350s ($49 $24)

The Pebble Mouse is not ergonomic at all due to its flat shape, but it is small and easily fits in a laptop sleeve.

If you want a more lightweight mouse, get a gaming mouse. Gaming mice can be decent productivity mice as well.

Another option is the Microsoft’s “Bluetooth Ergonomic Mouse” ($59). Many people also like the shape of Microsoft’s “Sculpt Ergonomic Mouse”, but it is discontinued. However, Incase is bringing it back and it will be coming soon.
