I should also mention the other main difference between them is that the 2S can be used with Logitech Flow, which enables you to use it between alternate computers simultaneously. This can come in handy if you have a laptop and a computer you want to connect it with, and it’s great if you work in an office setting. The highlight of this mouse is indeed the software. Through this, you can customize each of the buttons on the mouse to do a different function. The gesture button, for example, can be assigned to perform a change in the pointer speed or even opening a specific app.
Both mice are wireless, and they each come with one of Logitech’s tiny Unifying USB wireless recievers. The dongle isn’t necessary for those with Bluetooth Smart-equipped PCs (better known as Bluetooth 4.0), though: each mouse can connect via Unifying and Bluetooth Smart. The metal scroll wheel is a real bonus. Logitech boasts that the optical sensor will work on any surface and I have to agree. The Anywhere 3 functioned perfectly on a glass table and a desk with a highly reflective white top. If you are out and about and don’t want to carry a mouse mat, this level of surface tolerance is very handy.

When the pairing is complete, the new device configuration window will automatically close. The MX Anywhere 2 will be visible in the Devices list in the Devices and Printers window. Not a major issue, but incredibly annoying and time consuming, as I have to wait several seconds at a time for the cursor to reach the spot that I need. As matters stand, anyone who wants to customize these MX mice on a per-application basis has to go through Options and change each button function one at a time—and they’d have to maintain a list of settings somewhere for each app. That’s impractically clunky. At least profiles could be implemented in software, so Logitech might be able to add support for them in anupdate if it was so inclined. We’ll examine this utility a little more later in the review.
The MX Master’s telepathic auto-switching scroll wheel is something I sorely miss on my G502 daily driver, and the thumb wheel is something I find myself pining for, as well. Though I didn’t have time to fully test either mouse’s battery life, that’s a compliment: owners shouldn’t have to charge either mouse’s battery often. Both mice worked perfectly on a variety of surfaces, and Logitech’s Options software is well-polished and easy to use, even with multiple mice linked to the same computer. You can connect to your computer through Bluetooth or using the included Logitech unifying USB receiver. Through my use overall, I haven’t found anything bad about this mouse. It is comfortable and for those of you who have productivity mice and want nice simple gestures like navigation of your computers, then this is perfect for you. How happy you are with this mouse really depends on how big your hands are and what you’re already used to in terms of mice. So, you’re already using a larger mouse and you’re used to having your hand arch like that in a comfortable position, then MX Anywhere 2 mouse is not going to do a really good job. It’s probably going to make you uncomfortable after a while of use. For shorter travel trips, so if you’re just using this when you’re traveling for a business trip or if you don’t travel too frequently, then it’s going to be probably just enough but for a daily driver for people with large hands who are used to a large mouse, then it’s not going to be ideal. Logitech MX Anywhere 2SThe TR staff is composed of gamers and PC enthusiasts, so most of the mice we review are usually gaming-oriented devices festooned with RGB LEDs and programmable buttons. Gamers obviously aren’t the only people who use mice, though. Logitech’s top-of-the-line mice for regular folks, the MX series, make big waves whenever they’re updated. The MX Master and MX Anywhere 2 represent the most recent round of refinements to the formula. I’ve spent plenty of quality time with these mice over the last few weeks to see how they measure up. With limited DPI adjustments, and no profile or macro support, the MX Master and MX Anywhere 2 don’t seem to have much gaming DNA at first glance. Even so, people will doubtless want to use these mice for play as well as work, so I fired up Counter-Strike: Global Offensive‘s weapons course and ran through its timed challenge a few dozen times to get a feel for these mice’s gaming prowess. I also brought in two dedicated gaming mice—Logitech’s own G502 Proteus Core and EVGA’s Torq X5—for comparison purposes. As with my EVGA Torq review, I turned off any software acceleration settings that I could find, so my results are as much a reflection of the mice’s hardware as I can possibly make it. A bit on the pricier side, but a solid mouse that handles your day to day work excellently. The additional features improves productivity greatly, a good mouse to bring for working in any situations.
