LogitechMX Anywhere 2S (old version)

Whilst I didn't get the product off Amazon in the end, I thought i'd do a quick review for this mouse. I owned the old MX anywhere 1 mouse and it was stellar. It was comfortable and compact and lived off AA batteries. When I knew Logitech made a second generation, i knew I had to bite.Darkfield technology was what made the first generation so good - you could track the mouse on clear glass and it would still work (not like the oldschool mice of the past generation). These things, stand out.The MX Anywhere recharges using its own in built battery, and as such if you ran out of juice, you'd have to plug it in. fortunately you can find a cable and you can charge it whilst in use so there is no issue with break in usage. I have found the battery life to be above average for a mouse of its size. It connects well using the unifying receiver and you have to make sure you connect the two before use.The scroll wheel can be switched from smooth to notched, a great feature of the mouse to help with speedy or accurate scrolling. I use this with both my mac (connected via bluetooth) and my work laptop (connected via unifying receiver). Both work just as well. It has a button on the bottom that allows you to switch between the two laptops, which is super handy.I have also been able to customise what all the side and top buttons do. This is very handy when you want to change it to and from mac commands like launchpad and also being able to scroll back on a website to a prior page.A super mouse that will last for years, i'd give it more stars if i could. Fantastic product.

A great product. I really do not understand folks that mark this down because it is apparently too small or light ... it's a TRAVEL MOUSE and advertised as such.Great ergonomics, build quality and software/functionality.I use both the Master 2S and this for business 4k Video editing. The Master is substantially larger and better if you spend the whole day on a station. Click action is slightly firmer and the scroll wheel/raster action a tad more precise but only in direct comparison plus it is too large for travel. This portable version is good for a few hours a time, no problems and I have large hands. The Master also has the middle click so many seem to miss on the Anywhere but it took me all of a minute to get used to the button above it, it really is no hardship.The Anywhere has most of the functionality of the Master but lacks the programmable thumb rest/button and physical side scroller. However, it also has the side scroll function through the main scroll wheel and thus is superb for editing time lines and similar productivity tasks.Some have commented on the scroll wheel feeling loose on the Anywhere ... it isn't. What you have to remember is the scroll wheel works in four directions. On the Master it works in two. It feels smooth and precise in use on both mice.I use Windows 10 Pro on a Dell XPS 2019 and I had no issues with bluetooth connectivity or latency. - I can't vouch for Mac.Both were nearly £100 when launched. Whilst I would not call a £60 mouse cheap , if you use the functions available for design and editing work, these versatile, programmable mice are creators dreams and I have not seen anything better.Highly Recommended

I have been using this for a couple of weeks now for both my work laptop via bluetooth and my home PC via the provided USB adapter. Both connects quickly and without issues, no dropouts so far. A simple click on a tiny button on the base of the mouse switches between 3 registered computers. Incidentally it works on Android too.The mouse is rechargeable, and one charge lasts for a very long time. It's been over a week since the last charge and it's still showing as "good" on the Logitech windows app. That's after using it for 9+ hours a day every day.Ironically the one feature that attracted me to the mouse isn't really working so well. That is the ability to free-spin on the scroll wheel. One press of the wheel, it releases the notch mechanism, and you can scroll through a long document in a single action. That part works very well. Unfortunately, it's when you stop the wheel when it doesn't work so well. With the notch off, the tiniest movement will cause the wheel to start scrolling, so whenever you stop the wheel after a free spin, you are bound to nudge it a bit and it scrolls the screen a few lines up or down. I found this random scrolling so annoying, I stopped using the free spinning feature altogether.Another unexpected effect of the scrollwheel feature is that the wheel no longer acts as the middle button. You have to use the little button behind it for the middle button, which isn't as well positioned and it's a fiddle to click it. The little button can be set up to understand mouse gestures too, but it's bit of a gimmick than any real use.The size of the mouse fairly small, and it feels ok for my small hands, but I'd imagine would be quite uncomfortable for people with large hands to use for long hours.All in all, it's a very good mouse, but I wish it was a bit bigger, and that the free spinning scroll wheel didn't have the annoying quirk. Well, I liked it enough to be using it as my main mouse for two different computers.
