MX Anywhere 3S Reddit Verdict: Great Mouse, Fragile Switches

I'm glad it's working for you, but this is an objectively terrible mouse for gaming. 99g, 125hz, additional wireless latency (even at 2.4ghz, no lightspeed tech here), no exact dpi adjustment, laser sensor.

As someone who tried an MX Master 2s for gaming which basically uses the same sensor as the other MX series, it's awful for gaming. The sensor is not accurate, has acceleration issues, only 125hz polling rate and high latency wireless. It's not even comparable to any gaming wireless mouse.

For me it's too heavy. Also I find the cursor quite laggy on macOS despite software. I prefer a light gaming mouse for productivity work.

I had the MX Anywhere 3 and it's one of the best travel productivity mouse I ever had. 1 charge last me about 1 month and I use it for work 5 days a week. Had it for 5 years before i lost it.

I have both of these and each one has its quirks. I have smaller hands so I prefer the anywhere 10/10 but I like the added side scrolling on the master. I did find that you can horizontal scroll on the anywhere and I've just grown used to doing it on the anywhere mouse. I've also found that it's faster on the anywhere than using the side scroll button on the master mouse! (Hold down one of the side buttons & scroll)

I am really torn between the 2. The master 3s has the much quieter click buttons and the side scrolling, but the main scrollwheel is much less premium. On the anywhere 3 I can exactly choose how loud the scrollwheel is on a scale of 0-100 thanks to electromagnets, but on the master 3s there is only the loud setting or quiet setting, nothing in between.

The only difference between 'mac' and 'windows' edition is - windows gets additional usb dongle (still works without it) and mac comes without dongle, only mouse

I have both, and I haven't noticed any difference. Same body, same feel and same weight. The only visible difference was in the text printed under the body of each mouse. The Bolt receiver is entirely optional. Both seem to be able to be configured with Bluetooth for all 3 connectivity options or Bolt or any combination.

Haven't tried a Master but big fan of the Anywhere. I go between Anywhere and Magic Mouse and every time prefer the Anywhere experience over the MM (sadly). Touch gestures are lovely but productivity is so much better on the Anywhere with the right buttons set up.

My go-to travel mouse, and I do not even have small hands.

The mouse itself is very good but the Mx anywhere 3S only lasted me 5 months. Not being able to last even 1 year is kinda sad for a mouse almost worth $100.

I have the MX anywhere 3 connected via Bluetooth to my last gen Air. No lag at all and I love that I can keep it constantly plugged into a power outlet and still be able to use it.

I also have the MX anywhere 3 connected via Bluetooth and LOVE it! All my devices connect flawlessly, with no lag whatsoever (MacBook Air M4, MacBook Pro M3, and my work Windows laptop PC). Previously, I would be grabbing a different mouse, depending on which device I'm using but now, just push the button and BINGO, it works!

I've had the MX 3 anywhere for a couple years and I love it. Bluetooth/no lag

Yes it works like any other mouse or non mac edition 3S. I use it with both my MacBook and corporate Dell. Even the option to control both at the same time and copy/paste files between them works.

I accidentally ran mine through a full cycle in the washing machine. It still works.

I've been a fan of Logitech MX Anywhere mice for years, for the compact size and hyperscroll. But all of my MX Anywheres have suffered from the infamous Logitech "click of death" over time, where the switches start double clicking as they wear out. On top of that, the rubber thumb grip always starts wearing thin with use. On my Anywhere 2S that I'm still using, the thumb grip has completely worn through so there is a hole to the smooth plastic underneath.

A big selling point with mx mice is the darkfield sensor which allows it to track on nearly any surface, including glass. Makes for a great travel mouse so you don't have to bring a mouse pad with you. If that doesn't matter to you, you'll get better value elsewhere. I don't think there is a comparable, modern technology that beats darkfield.

mx anywhere is a very small, nearly fingertip style mouse. at 70$ is wildly overpriced for the hardware. if you have big hands go for the MX Master series - you can find them openbox/used from amazon for a significant discount usually.

I would skip this.... I also have MX Anywhere 3S and I'm having problems with the left mouse button sometimes not registering the press, and also sometimes interrupting the hold while dragging. As I've seen around the forums, this is not an uncommon problem with the switch, as many users report this issue.

If you don't configure it in the Logi-Options+ app, the middle button toggles 'clicky' and 'smooth' scrolling. The Logi+Options app lets you set a scroll-speed threshold where it switches from smooth to clicky scrolling automatically and you can remap the middle button to have another function.

Based on Logitech's EOL notification document, here are the new features with the s version: New: Quiet Click technology, New: 8K DPI sensor, New: Made from certified PCR plastic, New: FSC-certified packaging. Other features are the same.

In terms of size, if you have a large hand, go with the master 3s. If not, the anywhere 3s will be the better option. You should test both of them before buying because the size issue is critical for long-term using.

I have both, it really depends on comfort of the grip and amount of space you work with. I use the Anywhere 3S at home (small desk) and it's fine, more of a finger tip grip. I prefer the Master 3S at work with palm grip with more space.

mx 3s has left click issue and the company is well aware of this, if you can replace the switch, then it is a good one; else this is a severe issue, one of reason to not buy expensive mouse

2.5 years of near daily use before left click started being unreliable.

I have had a MX Anywhere 3 (not 3S), after 3 years the left click started to bug: when I keep it clicked like for drag & drop, it releases itself midway. I have lost in productivity. Very very disappointed for a "premium mouse" that I paid 99€. I contacted the support, the best they could do was to give me a 20% discount for another buy.

The mouse itself is very good but Logitech used those cheap silent switches which are surely going to fail in a matter of months. I have received a few MX anywhere 3s for switch replacement and once good quality switches are installed the mouse can last for years without any problems.

I know im very late but I have been using mine for about almost 4 years at this point, and I dropped it once quite badly in my first month of having it. It still works perfectly even now.

typically around 1 year. another one is starting to go out this week that i bought last year, same month

exact same issue here with the 3s, I have two of these and will never buy again.

I had an MX 3S which died and I replaced with an Anywhere 3S. It's a great mouse but I do find it too small and pretty uncomfortable so I'm either going to switch back or get a Keychron M6

Personally I prefer mx anywhere over mx master due to the weight.

At work, I had a professional examine my set up once. One of things he mentioned to me is that ideally your mouse should be large so that your palm / fingers are spread out. You don't want a mouse that is small to the point where hand / fingers are clamping the mouse. Based on that, I would totally go with the MX master.

I have anywhere for laptop traveling and mx master for desktop

Personally running both. MX Master for main desk setup (PC) and MX Anywhere for, as the name states, anywhere (laptop). Experience-wise, it's been nothing short of great. I don't have any complaints and having that increased portability really counts.

I've been using MX Anywhere 3 for 7+ years with an "Extended Finger Grip", no pain at all, using it daily for development work.

I'm team Anywhere MX 3s. Using it for months with my Macs via Bluetooth, no lag or "skipping" or anything. I'd prefer the 2s because it has the tiltable wheel, and I've been using that excessively over the past decade or so (tilt left: copy, tilt right: paste). With the 3s I can assign macros, so I can hold a button down and nudge the mouse into a direction, and assign the same copy/paste commands to those gestures.

Been using an Anywhere 2S for years. Bluetooth connection. Super long battery life. Charging port in a place you can use it like a wired mouse when charging. Fits my hand well. Never been tempted by the Apple Mouse.

As an owner of both 2s and 3, I can gladly say that 3 is better by miles. Build quality is MUCH better, laggy feeling is gone and clicks have very low click latency (around 9-12ms). Sensor has much higher DPI too. It's great for non competitive gaming, even better when paired with a laptop since it's very portable.

Honestly, I don't get it why MX mice are so disrespected in gaming field. Sure, it's not for professional gaming, but for games like GTA or RDR it's completely fine. On the other hand, working with gaming mouse is a complete disaster.

Bit late on this - have mine over a year and got it purely for 'anywhere'. Its still going great and i take it everywhere.
