Perfect size and weight for all day comfort

In the world of digital freelancing, our computers serve as the epicenter of our daily operations, and demanding the best wireless mouse for precision and comfort to work effortlessly is only natural and very important. The Logitech MX Anywhere 3S, tailored for medium and small hands, and the MX Master 3S, designed with a larger, ergonomic shape for the right hand, offer a seamless fit for every size hands. Both mice are perfectly sized and weighted, Like a finely tuned pen. The mice strike the right balance with a comfortable heft, ensuring user-friendliness and prevents it from zipping across the desk, providing a better feel and precise user experience.

Connectivity

While initially hesitant about relying solely on Bluetooth for connectivity, I grew weary of managing lost dongles and occupying precious ports on my computer. To my delight, the transition to Bluetooth only was as smooth as silk, leaving no room for mouse performance hiccups. For years, my old Logitech MX Anywhere 2S has never encountered any connectivity issues, hence why I can say in all confidence that the best wireless mouse is found at Logitech. While the upfront investment may be a bit higher, I believe it’s a small price to pay for a frustration-free experience. What’s more, the Logitech MX Master 3S and the Logitech MX Anywhere 3S effortlessly synced with my Mac, iPad, and even my clients’ PCs when the need arises. The mice graciously accommodates connections with three devices of your choosing, and swapping between them is super easy.

If you’re into fortressing your wireless connection, the Logitech MX Anywhere 3S happily teams up with Logitech’s BOLT receiver for enhanced security and stability. Just remember, the BOLT receiver is a separate purchase if you decide the need for it. The Logitech MX Master 3S comes with a dongle which is not a BOLT receiver. In all honesty, you do not need either receivers.

Customize extra functions

A decade and a half ago, mice were stuck with mere right and left clicks. It wasn’t until I embraced the MX Anywhere 3S and MX Master 3S that I discovered the remarkable addition of customisable buttons. Thanks to Logitech’s nifty app, I can tailor buttons on my mouse to handle functions that I use often to save me time. Now, with a quick click on my mouse, I can seamlessly tweak my screen’s brightness while typing away articles for my beloved blog. This automatic feature enhances efficiency as I don’t have to look down on my keyboard and find the right keys. Silly? Perhaps. But it actually makes a huge difference.

Battery life and USB-C charging

As our reliance on USB-C devices continues to grow, it’s a breath of fresh air to witness both mice embracing this digital evolution with its USB-C cable. (Fingers crossed for that mythical time when we can use USB-C cable for every device, right?) The clever positioning of the charging port at the front ensures you can charge your mouse while working, sparing you the anxiety of sudden low-battery emergencies during crucial deadlines. Because let’s face it, who really checks their mouse’s power every day?

The best wireless mouse works anywhere

My desk, crafted from pine wood, replaced a melamine desktop I used to have. Logitech claims the mouse can effortlessly glide on glass and various other surfaces. I can vouch to its smoothness on wood and melamine. While the allure of a mousepad definitely enhances certain desk setups, my minimalistic perspective guides me to avoid purchasing items I don’t genuinely need. The Logitech MX Anywhere 3S, featuring an 8K DPI optical sensor, performs flawlessly even without a mousepad, catering to users like me who prefer a minimalist setup.

Other noteworthy advantages:

• Logi Options+ software for mouse customisation
• Quiet clicks which are soothing for the ears
• Constructed from post-consumer recycled material

Tip: Don’t choose the Mac version

There are various variants of the Logitech MX serie mice: both include a “standard” and a “Mac” version. Opting for the “Mac” version imposes limitations, preventing you from using the mouse on Windows, Chrome, Linux, and Surface, a feature that is offered by the standard version. Both versions share identical specifications as well as price consistency. Here’s a breakdown of the differences:

MX Anywhere 3S
Logi BOLT dongle option
(to buy separately)
Bluetooth connection
USB-C to USB-A cable

MX Anywhere 3 for Mac
No dongle option
Bluetooth ONLY connection
USB-C to USB-C cable

MX Master 3S
Logi BOLT dongle included
Bluetooth connection
USB-C to USB-A cable

MX Master 3S for Mac
No dongle option
Bluetooth ONLY connection
USB-C to USB-C cable

I recommend choosing the standard version for both mice, as you likely have a USB-C to USB-C cable in your tech drawer. If needed, you can purchase the Logi BOLT dongle separately to connect your computer to the Logitech Anywhere 3S. This flexibility is not available with the Mac version.

One last tip!

I’ve come across discussions on different platforms, including Reddit, where users have shared images indicating that the white version of the mouse may develop stains with use. If you’re a perfectionist like me and prefer not to take any chances, I would suggest opting for the darker version instead.
