The Logitech MX Anywhere 2S is a low-profile and travel-friendly mouse with an ambidextrous design that has two reprogrammable side buttons on its left side. It feels very well-built and is made out of solid-feeling plastic with two rubber grips on each side. Its click latency and CPI range might not be good enough for competitive gamers, but it's more than low enough for web browsing and office work. Unfortunately, its small size is only designed for a fingertip grip and isn't ideal for people with extra-large hands.
Note: As of 2024, this mouse has a new variant called the Logitech MX Anywhere 2S Bluetooth Edition, which doesn't include a USB Unifying Receiver. For more information, see the Differences Between Variants section.
Our Verdict
The Logitech MX Anywhere 2S is a very good option for the office. Although it's designed for a fingertip grip and it doesn't have the best ergonomics, almost all of its buttons can be remapped for your needs. Also, its scroll wheel has amazing features that make working on long documents easier.
- Small, low profile design.
- Excellent scroll wheel features.
- Bluetooth support.
- Great build quality.
- Few ergonomic features.
- No compartment for USB receiver.

- Small, low profile design.
- Wide and adjustable CPI settings.
- Great build quality.
- Few ergonomic features.
- Non-adjustable polling rate.
- No compartment for USB receiver.

The Logitech MX Anywhere 2S is a decent MMO gaming mouse. The companion software is very good, but it only has two side buttons and its ergonomics might not be the best for long gaming sessions. It also has no RGB lighting.
- Very good companion software.
- Small, low profile design.
- Wide and adjustable CPI settings.
- Great build quality.
- Few ergonomic features.
- Non-adjustable polling rate.
- Only has two side buttons.
- No compartment for USB receiver.
The Logitech MX Anywhere 2S offers adequate raw performance that's well-suited for productivity, everyday browsing, and even casual gaming. However, its click latency and sensor latency are too high for competitive gaming, and the maximum polling rate is 125Hz. While this helps prolong the mouse's battery life, cursor movements may feel somewhat less smooth and will look noticeably less smooth on higher-resolution displays compared to dedicated gaming mice, which typically have polling rates of 1000Hz or more.
- Small, low profile design.
- Great build quality.
- No compartment for USB receiver.

Differences Between Sizes And Variants
The Logitech MX Anywhere 2S is available in Graphite, Midnight Teal, and Light Gray. Although we tested the Graphite variant, we expect the other two variants to perform the same.
As of 2024, you may see a variant listing for this mouse under the name Logitech MX Anywhere 2S Bluetooth Edition. The only difference with this variant appears to be that the 2.4GHz USB Logitech Unifying receiver is no longer included, so the mouse is intended only for use with a Bluetooth connection. However, we can't confirm if it still works with a Unifying Receiver. If you have this version and can confirm if it works with the receiver, we encourage you to let us know in the comments.
Popular Mouse Comparisons
The Logitech MX Anywhere 2S is very good for office use. Its ergonomics aren't as good as other higher-end office mice especially due to its low-profile design, but its ambidextrous design and its scroll wheel's features are great if you often work with long documents. Also, it's easy to travel with thanks to its small size and its excellent wireless connectivity options.

The Logitech M720 Triathlon is better for office use than the Logitech MX Anywhere 2S, although the MX Anywhere 2S is still a very good option. The M720 feels better built, and its high back makes it suitable for people with small or medium hands if you like using a claw or palm grip. Also, it has a third side button, making switching between paired devices easier. On the other hand, the Anywhere 2S is significantly lighter and smaller, so it should fit in laptop bags and cases much easier.
The Logitech MX Master 2S is a better office mouse than the Logitech MX Anywhere 2S. The Master is more ergonomic thanks to its thumb rest, high back, and side scroll wheel for long documents. However, the MX Anywhere 2S is much better for travel because of its small size and lighter weight.
The Logitech G305 LIGHTSPEED is a better wireless gaming mouse than the Logitech MX Anywhere 2S, but the Anywhere 2S is designed for office work and travel. The G305 LIGHTSPEED has a much wider CPI range and a lower click latency. However, the MX Anywhere 2S has Bluetooth support, which the G305 lacks.
The Logitech MX Anywhere 3 is better for the most part than the Logitech MX Anywhere 2S. The 3 feels better-built, it's lighter, and it has lower click latency. However, the 2S has more programmable inputs because the scroll wheel has left/right tilt inputs.
