Verdict

The Logitech MX Anywhere 2S is a compact, 106g wireless travel mouse featuring a 4,000 DPI Darkfield laser sensor that tracks on virtually any surface, including glass. Its core characteristics include dual connectivity via Bluetooth or the 2.4GHz Unifying receiver, a 500mAh rechargeable battery providing up to 70 days of use, and 7 programmable buttons. Main pros include the hyper-fast scrolling wheel, the ability to pair and switch between three devices using Logitech Flow, and its highly portable, ergonomic low-profile design. However, notable cons include its reliance on an outdated Micro-USB charging port, lack of internal storage for the USB receiver, and a size that may feel too small for users with larger hands.
