None to be honest, the only reason this mouse is worth its money is the productivity boost you have using it, ditching the left/right side scroll on the wheel is not good at all productivity wise, I had the anywhere 2 and using now the 2s. Definitely will not go for the 3 without this critical function. Hope this will be back somehow...
Valentin Mantoiu this version 3 can scroll horizontally by holding either side button and scroll. I’m curious what do you use those 2 left/right button for?
@@TT-ud5gf why does anyone use them? in a mouse like this you need to have them for productivity, holding them to use this function will automatically create unwanted back/forward actions. 4 direction wheel eliminates this unwanted action. Cause, otherwise why would you spend the money asked on this unless for work/productivity?! Certainly not for gaming. I have the Corsair Glaive RGB, G603, couple Microsoft ones, Anywhere 2 and the 2S, MX Master 2, sooo having quite a bunch of mice I believe I know what I'm talking about when it comes to functionality purposes. But that's just my thought, wouldn't you agree?
Valentin Mantoiu I bought Anywhere 3 yesterday and I found that holding the side button while scrolling the wheel is not ergo. The moment I use my thumb to hold, my pointing finger becomes weaker. I’m new to productivity mouse. Using Anywhere 3 in spreadsheets, whenever I intended to horizontal scrolling, I pressed the side button and kept forgetting to scroll and hence unwanted undo|redo happened. Do you recommend MX Master 2/3 or Anywhere 2s? I use it for reading code and reading log files in which I have to scroll vertical/horizontal and increase/decrease font size.
3 feels like a step backwards. 2s is better. i use scrollwheel left and right for volume up and down. Also the free wheeler doesn't roll as far as 2s. i guess they wanted to make the wheel more stable.
I have used both and I still prefer the anywhere 2s. Mainly due to anywhere 3 scroll wheel doesn't have enough friction when scrolling even hyper-scroll is turned off, it feels like always a free scroll. Anywhere 3 lost 2 macro buttons, that is the side scroll - which is very useful on the 2s (you can set it up to volume up/down, brightness up/down, etc). Lastly, aesthetically side grips on 2s looks and feel better.
Looks like they also went back to the standard nano receiver rather than the super slim nano receiver the 2S came with. I feel like there is no real upgrade here but just a lazy "refresh" to keep the model current. I'm in the market for one but I think I'll buy the 2S over the 3. Disappointing.
Have you played with the sensitivity in the software? I use the MX Master 1 and 2s and found it takes a bit of back and forth to get just right, once you find the pivit point I find it hards to switch to a normal mouse. also you could re program what was used as a middle mouse button as a media button which would then do volume up/down skip forward/back and play/pause. (My wife has the mx anywhere 1 just for context and I keep saying it needs the scroll wheel from the master series)
Finally the two things I wanted - middle-click on the scroll wheel and USB-C! Will be picking up the black one to replace my Anywhere 2 as soon as there is a decent sale.
@@TT-ud5gf Most common is probably using it to open links in a new tab in Chrome. I naturally have my finger on the scroll wheel when browsing sites and it is easy just to click with it to open a link in a new tab (rather than the current) so I can continue reading the current page and get to the new page later.
@@TT-ud5gf You can also middle click on a tab to close it, middle click and drag on a website for fast scrolling and lots of other programs have implemented a behavior for it as well .. 3D software like Blender, code editors like IntelliJ Idea or even just the Google Earth website. I use it everywhere.
@@gkiss2030 Neat! Though for me reconfiguring the middle-click for every program and OS I use is not an option. The fact that Logitech made that design choice for the otherwise perfect Anywhere 2s still drives me up the wall sometimes haha
The tilt wheel option is indispensable non-negotiable. Returned the Anywhere 3 and bought the 2S instead after my speed and productivity was impacted by -40% LEFT tilt: ESC button RIGHT tilt: Switch apps
Thanks for the review! Lack of a tilt wheel is a deal breaker for me. Also, for everyone that was complaining about the lack of a scroll button, I assumed that was what the button below the wheel was for? That's what I used it for anyway. 🤷♂️
The tilt wheel is definitely something I like in contrast to the side wheel of the larger MX Masters. I like the side wheel for Premier but it's a pain to use in Adobe Audition. Might get the Anywhere 2S since it's costing less and less now. Something of use when being mobile. And I hardly use the middle click because of the free scrolling.
Not having the side scrolling is a dealbreaker for me. They are so customizable. Specially if you work on tabbed environments. One push and you're to the next tab.
You hold one of the side buttons and use the normal scroll wheel. It does scroll horizontally. Also, any mouse can scroll horizontally by holding shift and scrolling
He said horizontal button on 2s can assign to other shortcuts (volume up/down, screen brightness up/down, copy/paste), not just horizontal scroll function on the 3.
100% agree. Complete dealbreaker, literally decreases the functionality of the mouse. I would've happily traded the magnetic scrollwheel to keep that functionality.
for those using the 2s on a Mac, I recommend using the left and right feature on the scroll wheel to change between desktops, that alone makes me not want to upgrade to the 3.
Just as info, if you have a large hand or your are palm type user then try to look for other bigger mouse. I returned the mouse same day as purchased day because it is so small for my grip style. I got myself G604 as exchange and I'm really happy with the purchase
I've used the 2s for 3 years and the lack of middle click was definitely the worst part. i just started using the 3 and having the middle click back is great though the click is a little too subtle for me, i'd prefer a heavier click. it feels like i'm re-learning how to use a mouse now that i have the middle click back lmao. i also didn't use the side scroll very often so i'm not missing it too much
Hi, My MX Master 3 has gotten sticky because the rubber coating has worn down even though I haven’t used it that much. Does the MX Anywhere 3 have the same rubber coating? I’m looking to get a more compact mouse, and it seems like a good option, but I’d like to avoid the same problem with the coating. Cleaning it doesn’t do the trick, rubbing alcohol supposedly wears down the rubber even more. Thanks for any input!
This is a downgrade...lol I have left side of the scroll wheel set up as "middle click" and the right side to open windows settings. If i "upgrade" (i won't) i'll lose one customizable button.
same for me, without left right on wheel mouse is useless for me, i have middle click on side buttons its faster and more natural to use it than "traditional" middle click on wheel.
I'm really not really impressed with Logitech's latest offering. There's no place to store the USB dongle and horizontal scrolling is, to put it mildly, not ergonomic if you need to hold the side buttons while scrolling. Maybe the MX Anywhere 4 will fix these problems. Sadly, the Original MX Anywhere looks like the best one so far. At least v3 has a USB-C socket.
I have the original (v1) and just got the 3s vor my shop PC. I prefer tge original version. Not just because of the functions, it feels better, the new one feels much cheaper.
I have an Mx Anywehre 2s... thinking about getting an MX MEchanical keyboard which uses Bolt instead of the Unifying reciever. Will I have to run both bluetooth dongles or are they cross compatible with one another?
Can you use the middle button as a gesture button, as with anywhere 2? Is the clicking sound and feel any different from anywhere 2? Are there any improvements in the bluetooth quality?
Thanks for a great review! Apparently there are two different editions the "MX Anywhere 3" and the "MX Anywhere 3 for Business" do you know what the difference is?
I don't understand why Logitech removed the tilt wheel function. The tilt wheel offered more than just horizontal scrolling; it could also be used to quickly switch between desktops and tabs.

Every time they make one of these I just lament that I can't get another MX Anywhere 1 anymore. Need that tilt wheel, don't need bluetooth and I loved that integrated sensor cover more than anything. The most satisfying mouse to turn on and off ever made.
How's the clicking sound comparing both models? Does anywhere 3 quieter than 2s? I'm considering whether to wait for 3 or just grab the 2s. Now clicking sound concern me.
no left right scroll for me is a no go, I prefer central button separeted from the scroll wheel since I use it also for FPS gaming. Anywhere 3 is the reason why abandon the mx series.
man why did they remove the side-middle-clicks . i have gotten so used to using them that i dont know if i can ever go back to a mouse that doesent have them
I've been using the mx Master 1 at work and 2s at home for a over a year now whilst my wife uses the anywhere 1 and I cannot stand using the scroll wheel on hers as I've got so used to the manget design, she's been thinking of upgrading and needless to say I welcome this with open arms, she was concidrering the mx anywhere 2s due to logitech flow due this will be perfect ( she doesn't like the mx master due to hand size)
Mine keeps scrolling every now and then. Is anyone else having this bug? I use Ubuntu daily and I get it everyday. Say the pointer will be over a browser tab, suddenly, it will do a cycle through the tabs which happens when you use the scroll. Also, when working on pages, suddenly, I get it zoomed out because I tend to use CTRL a lot. Mouse keeps doing scroll on its own whenever it wants.
@@Bleudejade Silent mice aren't actually completely silent. They still make a clicking down, it's just greatly reduced. I think all mice should be quiet.
I am a bit hesitated getting the anywhere 3 or mx master 3, i do like the size of the anywhere 3 and the fact that it has the same scroll features and speed and usb c which all in the mx master 3. Is there any recommendations which one i should pick ? Considering that i needed mainly for work (not gaming)
I would personally go for the MX Master 3, but that's my preference. You can always try it out and replace it if it doesn't fit you, some stores have return policies for situations like that, especially if it's bought online.
I have used MX Master 3 and it is too big and heavy for daily use. I'm now using MX Anywhere 2s and it feel more premium and it feels more solid the Master 3. Anywhere 3 is a downgrade from 2s.
I'm hesitant about changing my 2s to this one when it becomes available in my country... my only gripe with the 2s is that the side grips started to come off not long after I bought it. I don't know if it's just me and the fact I use it too much or if it's a common problem. The side rubber seems to start expanding and coming off after a while?
I have this issue as well, peeled off after 1 year+ of occasional use, its annoying that i have to remove the side grip and it can't be replace. The mouse itself is still functioning like a champ, but the side grip peeled off which makes it quite uncomfortable to use, what a waste.
@@gkiss2030 It doesn't hurt, but it is very uncomfortable to hold the mouse. By the way, I saw there is MX Anywhere 2S outer shell for sale at about $10 on Aliexpress, going to try and replace them.
I'm getting one to be my main mouse and replace even my gaming mice. Can you give me more inputs when it comes around gaming? Does it handle FPS well (non-competitive)?
@@shophkcom yeah, but...razer. Every Razer mouse I ever had broke easily. At this very moment my Razer Basilisk Hyperspeed is going through RMA process.
Here’s some advice while I’m not a gamer I’m a graphic design student and I use the mx2s as my second mouse when I’m at school or not at home and for longer projects I’ve had my hand get strained because of me using the mouse a little more aggressively and for a longer period of time. It’s because the mouse is so small that for me to grip it and have my finger tips on the buttons I have to close my hand a bit more and due to that there’s a space in the palm of my hand and that’s where I would feel the strain. It’s hard to explain but if I were to use this mouse like a regular one my finger tips would pass the buttons so I have to retract my fingers a bit. I will say though this has only happened twice and I’ve had it for probably almost 2 years but I imagine since you’re going to be gaming you’d probably be using the mouse a little more aggressively. I actually use the Logitech g602 as my main mouse at home and it’s worked great for me and it’s a gaming mouse only problem I have with it is that it’s not truly wireless it uses a usb stick so I have to make sure it’s close to the mouse if not it’ll start to lose signal.
@@Itsvicu I had two G602s amazing mice, still holds the record as the mouse I enjoy to use the most (for gaming). I even went as far as to buy the new g604 thinking it would be as good as g602, unfortunentely it isn't. Even though its almost the same weight the g604 doesnt have the same curves and rubber feel as the g602, so its too slippery for me. I also had an Anywhere MX 1, also loved that mouse, unfortunentely I lost it during travel. I had no cramps or problems with it, even using it 8+ hours per day. I don't consider myself a serious gamer of any sort, I don't play competitive. For example I use a Logitech MX Keys as a keyboard and I see no difference gaming with it or using my old mechanical wired keyboard. I just find it sad now a days we spend $150 on gaming mices that even have RGB but it doesnt have a simple bluetooth connectivity. I think I had pretty much every G-series mouse from Logitech (aside from G-pro), including some flagships like Master MX 2s. Right now I'm using a G603 because I like the shape, the battery life and it has bluetooth so I can switch between work laptop and my desktop. My desk is small so I share the same keyboard and mice for work and personal computers, and I just wish I could have Logitech's version of Razer Pro Click. Since I never had good experience with Razer.
I personally wouldn't recommend to buy this mouses. Buttons and scrolling is very loud, people around you will hate you working beside them. Even for yourself it is not comfortable.
You can easily lithgten the Mx anywhere 2s since to provide more weight and premium feel the mouse have a pretty beefy metal weight in it that can be removed easily with no functional loss if you prefer a lighterpuse. So that's where the weight probably went, Logitech just thought they maybe exaggerated with the weight addiction in the 2s
@@_MPP_ no nothing more just remove the bottom rubber feets and you'll see the screws, remove those and then it's just question of opening the enclosure and removing the weight.
@@TeoMande I just removed the weight and it made a massive difference! It was hard to keep the mouse feet intact but I already got me some Corepadz feet. This thing is an awesome mouse now! Perfect shape for me. Really wish it had a sensor with 500hz polling rate, but that would apparently lower the battery life significantly. Oh well, by far the best mouse I have tried and I have tried many :) Shape is so important to me.
Dla mnie też to dałngrejd. Brak lewo prawo na kółku dyskwalifikuje tą mysz. Środkowy przycisk na kółku to żadna rewelacja, trudniej się go używa, nienaturalnie, ja mam ustawiony środkowy przycisk na obydwu bocznych. Kupiłem sobie parę sztuk 2S na zapas. Mam też 2.0 i chodzi już 6 lat bez żadnych problemów.
Logitech should get their act together. This is more like a downgrade as G604 is to G602. Is it so hard to ask for quality materials in a mouse, that has hyperscroll and the MX 2S form factor, with some extra buttons on the side? Of course, the high entry price is constant, while the quality is going down.
To be honest I only used the middle click for gaming, but I could just remap it to one of the other buttons. The side scroll is amazing for web browsing and scrolling through Netflix shows. So the 2s in my opinion is a great mouse and definitely not worse than the 3. Just a bit different.
I would like to be able to switch between other devices with a button on the top of the mouse. So it would be a good addition to my Filco Bluetooth keyboard. Well I think it is some obscure requirement I have here :)
Can you map the side buttons to scroll left/right, to replace the loss of the tilt scroll wheel function? can you map the side buttons to cycle left/right through internet browser tabs?
@@Tokomak_5 Ahh I see, have you tried out gaming mice like the Razer naga? It definitely has a gamer aesthetic but has 12 extra buttons and the left and right mouse button option. The mouse is the size of the mx master so that might be a deal breaker. There are alternatives with similar features that look more professional
Ahhh..why did they remove the left and right scroll..such a deal breaker. I have been using the Anywhere 2S for 4 years now and using the scroll button for copy/paste. Just saw the Anywhere 3 and really like the white version (would go nicely with my computer setup). I guess, I'm glad that I decided to check on the reviews before buying one..
I'm on my 3rd MX Anywhere (1x MX Anywhere, 1x MX Anywhere 2, 1x MX Anywhere 2S) and the removal of the left/right scroll button is indeed a total deal breaker. I used those two buttons for years and years to blazingly fast navigate in the file explorer and browser (back/forward).
@@kalekalekale At least my Anywhere 2S's button have been rock solid for 2 years. Could not said that for the original Anywhere MX (left button started to double-click by itself after a few months).
@@MattsPaddock Did you buy the mouse? With your money? Or is it a gift from ... Logitech? It's not the same thing. The mouse is sold commercially on September 25 in Europe and October 5 in the USA. How did you get it? As a simple consumer, I cannot buy it before.
Got it from Logitech and returning it back as well as 99% of the things I receive from them (Logitech) because where I live they don't have any official PR activities, only sales. I also tend to borrow products from them from time to time when I need it for comparison.
@@MattsPaddock Like I said, this is a sponsored video. If you say bad things about the product, you will never have another product from that brand again. Sorry for being a little pissed off, but this is not an honest test. It is an exchange between the company and you. Logitech is gaining sales, and you are gaining likes. But in the end, it is the consumer who is the big loser in this business.
I'm not pissed at all, I love to have constructive talks. I always try to lay out facts plain and simple so people can decide for themselves, especially in a comparison like this one, within the same generation, which is pretty straightforward. Some things are more obvious, some not, a lot of them have to do with personal preferences too. The biggest issue for me, when trying to find "something bad", is that I can't have the product long-term so I can really go for those nitty and gritty problems that users notice or get over time.

I've been using the mx Master 1 at work and 2s at home for a over a year now whilst my wife uses the anywhere 1 and I cannot stand using the scroll wheel on hers as I've got so used to the manget design, she's been thinking of upgrading and needless to say I welcome this with open arms, she was concidrering the mx anywhere 2s due to logitech flow due this will be perfect ( she doesn't like the mx master due to hand size)
aa, the palm grip scene - awesome touch 🫠
is it louder than the m590? annoyingly louder?
Mine keeps scrolling every now and then. Is anyone else having this bug? I use Ubuntu daily and I get it everyday. Say the pointer will be over a browser tab, suddenly, it will do a cycle through the tabs which happens when you use the scroll.
Also, when working on pages, suddenly, I get it zoomed out because I tend to use CTRL a lot. Mouse keeps doing scroll on its own whenever it wants.
Can you connect this mouse to the Logitech G-hub software ??
Nope!
seems like a downgrade from the 2/2s
yes, no left right on wheel is weird "upgrade"
I don't understand why mouse clicks have to be so loud.
So people know that you're there! 😂
Ikr, and Logitech only do two silent mice
@@user-jt5vm3mi1w Silent mice are specialized accessories. What we want instead is all mice to be kind of quiet.
@@Bleudejade Silent mice aren't actually completely silent. They still make a clicking down, it's just greatly reduced. I think all mice should be quiet.
thank you for the review :D
Thanks for watching!
I am a bit hesitated getting the anywhere 3 or mx master 3, i do like the size of the anywhere 3 and the fact that it has the same scroll features and speed and usb c which all in the mx master 3.
Is there any recommendations which one i should pick ? Considering that i needed mainly for work (not gaming)
I would personally go for the MX Master 3, but that's my preference. You can always try it out and replace it if it doesn't fit you, some stores have return policies for situations like that, especially if it's bought online.
I have used MX Master 3 and it is too big and heavy for daily use. I'm now using MX Anywhere 2s and it feel more premium and it feels more solid the Master 3. Anywhere 3 is a downgrade from 2s.
Does usb received required for operating this mouse?
If you use Bluetooth, then not!
How would I do without left and right on a Mac!
I'm hesitant about changing my 2s to this one when it becomes available in my country... my only gripe with the 2s is that the side grips started to come off not long after I bought it. I don't know if it's just me and the fact I use it too much or if it's a common problem. The side rubber seems to start expanding and coming off after a while?
Mine came off after a year and I'm using it that way.
Far less convenient than originally, pretty annoying at work.
@@gkiss2030 I had to remove the right side grip and I'm so mad cuz it's such a good looking mouse otherwise
I have this issue as well, peeled off after 1 year+ of occasional use, its annoying that i have to remove the side grip and it can't be replace. The mouse itself is still functioning like a champ, but the side grip peeled off which makes it quite uncomfortable to use, what a waste.
@@DenieceNg Do your hands hurt when you are using it that way?
I feel I need to exact more force on the mouse to keep it precise.
@@gkiss2030 It doesn't hurt, but it is very uncomfortable to hold the mouse.
By the way, I saw there is MX Anywhere 2S outer shell for sale at about $10 on Aliexpress, going to try and replace them.
I actually bought the 2s like a year ago and immediately returned it because it lacked the middle click. Will consider getting this newer one.
but it has the dedicated button for middle click?
I'm getting one to be my main mouse and replace even my gaming mice. Can you give me more inputs when it comes around gaming? Does it handle FPS well (non-competitive)?
Razer Click Pro has 5G sensor and better for gaming
@@shophkcom yeah, but...razer. Every Razer mouse I ever had broke easily. At this very moment my Razer Basilisk Hyperspeed is going through RMA process.
Here’s some advice while I’m not a gamer I’m a graphic design student and I use the mx2s as my second mouse when I’m at school or not at home and for longer projects I’ve had my hand get strained because of me using the mouse a little more aggressively and for a longer period of time. It’s because the mouse is so small that for me to grip it and have my finger tips on the buttons I have to close my hand a bit more and due to that there’s a space in the palm of my hand and that’s where I would feel the strain. It’s hard to explain but if I were to use this mouse like a regular one my finger tips would pass the buttons so I have to retract my fingers a bit. I will say though this has only happened twice and I’ve had it for probably almost 2 years but I imagine since you’re going to be gaming you’d probably be using the mouse a little more aggressively. I actually use the Logitech g602 as my main mouse at home and it’s worked great for me and it’s a gaming mouse only problem I have with it is that it’s not truly wireless it uses a usb stick so I have to make sure it’s close to the mouse if not it’ll start to lose signal.
@@Itsvicu I had two G602s amazing mice, still holds the record as the mouse I enjoy to use the most (for gaming). I even went as far as to buy the new g604 thinking it would be as good as g602, unfortunentely it isn't. Even though its almost the same weight the g604 doesnt have the same curves and rubber feel as the g602, so its too slippery for me.
I also had an Anywhere MX 1, also loved that mouse, unfortunentely I lost it during travel. I had no cramps or problems with it, even using it 8+ hours per day.
I don't consider myself a serious gamer of any sort, I don't play competitive. For example I use a Logitech MX Keys as a keyboard and I see no difference gaming with it or using my old mechanical wired keyboard. I just find it sad now a days we spend $150 on gaming mices that even have RGB but it doesnt have a simple bluetooth connectivity.
I think I had pretty much every G-series mouse from Logitech (aside from G-pro), including some flagships like Master MX 2s. Right now I'm using a G603 because I like the shape, the battery life and it has bluetooth so I can switch between work laptop and my desktop. My desk is small so I share the same keyboard and mice for work and personal computers, and I just wish I could have Logitech's version of Razer Pro Click. Since I never had good experience with Razer.
I personally wouldn't recommend to buy this mouses. Buttons and scrolling is very loud, people around you will hate you working beside them. Even for yourself it is not comfortable.

You can easily lithgten the Mx anywhere 2s since to provide more weight and premium feel the mouse have a pretty beefy metal weight in it that can be removed easily with no functional loss if you prefer a lighterpuse. So that's where the weight probably went, Logitech just thought they maybe exaggerated with the weight addiction in the 2s
Hi, I'm very interested in this. What do you need to remove the weight? Do I need anything other than a small screwdriver?
@@_MPP_ no nothing more just remove the bottom rubber feets and you'll see the screws, remove those and then it's just question of opening the enclosure and removing the weight.
@@TeoMande awesome, thank you! I really love the shape of 2s but it always felt a bit heavy. Going to try to remove the weight soon :)
@@TeoMande I just removed the weight and it made a massive difference! It was hard to keep the mouse feet intact but I already got me some Corepadz feet. This thing is an awesome mouse now! Perfect shape for me. Really wish it had a sensor with 500hz polling rate, but that would apparently lower the battery life significantly. Oh well, by far the best mouse I have tried and I have tried many :) Shape is so important to me.
@@_MPP_ happy to help :) and thanks for the feedback, it's nice that my never ending tinkering and disassembling stuff helped someone !!
What software was that? It’s not Logitech G Hub right?
It's Logitech Options. Basically the "productivity" version of G Hub.
I use horizontal scroll for volume control on my pc and u can customize it like u want. Mx3 is not worth an upgrade, feels like a downgrade for me.
Dla mnie też to dałngrejd. Brak lewo prawo na kółku dyskwalifikuje tą mysz. Środkowy przycisk na kółku to żadna rewelacja, trudniej się go używa, nienaturalnie, ja mam ustawiony środkowy przycisk na obydwu bocznych. Kupiłem sobie parę sztuk 2S na zapas. Mam też 2.0 i chodzi już 6 lat bez żadnych problemów.
Thanks, stopped watching after side scroll... couldn't find it on website.
Can this mouse connects to Dell XPS 15 USB-C port ?
If you have correct cable, yes!
It's two loudest mouse i ever had, the clicks are extremely loud.
I have the mx anywhere 3 white and it’s cool for a portable pc
Logitech should get their act together. This is more like a downgrade as G604 is to G602.
Is it so hard to ask for quality materials in a mouse, that has hyperscroll and the MX 2S form factor, with some extra buttons on the side?
Of course, the high entry price is constant, while the quality is going down.
This is an amazing mouse and very premium feeling.
To be honest I only used the middle click for gaming, but I could just remap it to one of the other buttons. The side scroll is amazing for web browsing and scrolling through Netflix shows. So the 2s in my opinion is a great mouse and definitely not worse than the 3. Just a bit different.
Which button did you set it with?
@@yoonjaelee4123 the forward button
Thank you
I would like to be able to switch between other devices with a button on the top of the mouse. So it would be a good addition to my Filco Bluetooth keyboard.
Well I think it is some obscure requirement I have here :)
So can the 3 scroll horizontally or no?
Yeah if you hold one of the side buttons while you scroll it will side scroll
Still prefer my MX Anywhere 2s, this looks cheaper
same thought, and have left right wheel
@@shophkcom and have the scroll click. its important for me. looks like a downgrade.
Definitely, overall design is better on the Anywhere 2s.
i don know but the white color makes it look cheap and that left right scroll is so useful for me :(. well not considering this product.
If you hold either of the side buttons while scrolling it scrolls horizontally
They basically downgraded the mouse, infinite scrolling is removed
MX master 3 in this form factor would be a real upgrade.
$80 for a downgrade. No thanks, bought another MX anywhere 2s for a backup.
I didn't know Logitech mice had no middle click.
Tele2? Are you from Latvija?
Nope, there are other few countries that also have Tele2 as a provider :)
I hate 3, doesn't have wheel tilt left or right
Can you map the side buttons to scroll left/right, to replace the loss of the tilt scroll wheel function? can you map the side buttons to cycle left/right through internet browser tabs?
If you hold either of the side buttons while scrolling it scrolls horizontally, no need to change the front/back buttons
Same battery life? Wtf... basically upgraded nothing, no point in upgrading
perfect review thanks for it!
Glad it was helpful!
I do want back the Left-Right buttons from the mouse wheel! They are so useful.
You can hold one of the side buttons and then scroll to scroll vertically. Personally i prefer it tbh
@@TimvonzumHoff Yes, but I use an MX Anywhere for CAD design, and even six buttons aren't enough!
@@Tokomak_5 Ahh I see, have you tried out gaming mice like the Razer naga? It definitely has a gamer aesthetic but has 12 extra buttons and the left and right mouse button option. The mouse is the size of the mx master so that might be a deal breaker. There are alternatives with similar features that look more professional
Amazing 👏
Ahhh..why did they remove the left and right scroll..such a deal breaker. I have been using the Anywhere 2S for 4 years now and using the scroll button for copy/paste. Just saw the Anywhere 3 and really like the white version (would go nicely with my computer setup). I guess, I'm glad that I decided to check on the reviews before buying one..
I'm on my 3rd MX Anywhere (1x MX Anywhere, 1x MX Anywhere 2, 1x MX Anywhere 2S) and the removal of the left/right scroll button is indeed a total deal breaker. I used those two buttons for years and years to blazingly fast navigate in the file explorer and browser (back/forward).
Oh man I literally just bought a MX anywhere 3..
My left click button now double clicks. Its less than a year old
Where is wireless charger? Where is USB-C unifying receiver?
Besides USB-C, everything about this mouse looks like a downgrade :/
Thanks 👍 let's be overly nice on here to compensate for the bs in the world.
Pale grey
if only they move the middle button on mx anywhere 2s near the front edge, the button will feel more natural to use.
How silent is it?
Edit: just woke up the wife around timestamp 2:10 YIKES. Instant pass.
It's that thing opposite of silent 😂
As a mouse that's expected to be taken "anywhere", Logitech definitely should have silenced the clicks.
how white do u have to be to say some shit like that?
@@kalekalekale At least my Anywhere 2S's button have been rock solid for 2 years. Could not said that for the original Anywhere MX (left button started to double-click by itself after a few months).
The 3's side looks cheap and dated.
The 2S' side looks better.
2s better than 3!
i have that mouse
he speaks like russian with accent
Your face 😆
Sponsored video by Logitech.
Nope, but I wish it was! 😂
@@MattsPaddock Did you buy the mouse? With your money? Or is it a gift from ... Logitech? It's not the same thing. The mouse is sold commercially on September 25 in Europe and October 5 in the USA. How did you get it? As a simple consumer, I cannot buy it before.
Got it from Logitech and returning it back as well as 99% of the things I receive from them (Logitech) because where I live they don't have any official PR activities, only sales. I also tend to borrow products from them from time to time when I need it for comparison.
@@MattsPaddock Like I said, this is a sponsored video. If you say bad things about the product, you will never have another product from that brand again. Sorry for being a little pissed off, but this is not an honest test. It is an exchange between the company and you. Logitech is gaining sales, and you are gaining likes. But in the end, it is the consumer who is the big loser in this business.
I'm not pissed at all, I love to have constructive talks. I always try to lay out facts plain and simple so people can decide for themselves, especially in a comparison like this one, within the same generation, which is pretty straightforward. Some things are more obvious, some not, a lot of them have to do with personal preferences too. The biggest issue for me, when trying to find "something bad", is that I can't have the product long-term so I can really go for those nitty and gritty problems that users notice or get over time.
