The Logitech MX Anywhere 3 is a good office mouse designed to be used on-the-go. Its small and compact design makes it easy to carry around with you, but there's no slot to store its USB receiver, which is quite disappointing. It's well-built and you shouldn't have to worry about breaking it by tossing it into your bag. It connects to any device via Bluetooth or its proprietary receiver, and it works on both Windows and macOS. It's comfortable and works best for those using the fingertip grip, as it may be too small for the claw or palm grip. You can reprogram some of its buttons, and even though it doesn't have a side wheel, it still has a horizontal scrolling feature with its scroll wheel.
Our Verdict
The Logitech MX Anywhere 3 is very good for office use. Despite its small size, it's comfortable and a good choice for those using the fingertip grip. It's well-built, and you can reprogram a few buttons. It connects to your device either through Bluetooth or its proprietary receiver.
- Comfortable for those using the fingertip grip.
- Connects to any device via Bluetooth or its receiver.
- Scroll wheel can be unlocked for infinite scrolling.
- Too small for most hand sizes using palm or claw grips.
- Limited number of programmable buttons.
- No slot to store USB receiver.
The Logitech MX Anywhere 3 is good for FPS video games. Although not designed as a gaming mouse, it's light, and the feet provide a decent gliding experience. However, it's small and only suggested for those using the fingertip grip, and it has a low polling rate. Also, its click latency is too high for reaction-based or fast-paced games.
- Okay gliding experience.
- Light and compact design.
- Fixed 125Hz polling rate.
- Stiff cable.
- No slot to store USB receiver.
The Logitech MX Anywhere 3 is only okay for MMO gaming. It's not designed for it and only has two side buttons, which may not be enough for most MMO gamers. Still, you can adjust the CPI in small steps, and it has a low minimum CPI. Unfortunately, the polling rate is low and can't be changed, and its click latency is too high for anything but casual gaming.
- Comfortable for those using the fingertip grip.
- Okay gliding experience.
- Fixed 125Hz polling rate.
- Only two side buttons.
- No slot to store USB receiver.
- No slot to store USB receiver.

Popular Mouse Comparisons
The Logitech MX Anywhere 3 is a good travel mouse and is similar to the Logitech MX Anywhere 2S. It provides good performance for what it's intended for, but it's on the costly side, and its small size isn't ideal for those using the palm or claw grip. The Razer Atheris is similar in terms of performance and costs much less. Also see our recommendations for the best ergonomic mice, the best wireless mice, and the best Logitech mice.
The Logitech MX Anywhere 3 and the Logitech MX Anywhere 3S are similar compact wireless mice in the same product lineup. The MX Anywhere 3 is the older version and connects via Bluetooth or Logitech's Unifying Receiver. The MX Anywhere 3S is newer and has quieter left- and right-click buttons and an improved sensor with a higher maximum CPI. It connects via Bluetooth or Logitech's BOLT receiver, which is sold separately.
The Logitech MX Anywhere 3 and the Logitech Signature M650 are both wireless mice designed for office use; however, the MX Anywhere 3 performs better overall. The MX Anywhere 3 has a free-scrolling mode you can toggle between using a button behind the scroll wheel, and it connects with multiple devices at once. On the other hand, the Signature M650 is better-suited if you use a palm or claw style grip with small or medium-sized hands. Also, it has a storage compartment for its USB receiver, so you won't lose it while bringing the mouse around.
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.
The Logitech MX Master 3 is a much better office mouse than the Logitech MX Anywhere 3. The Master 3 feels better-built, is much more comfortable, and has more programmable buttons. However, the Anywhere 3 is better for travel because it's smaller, much lighter, and has lower click latency.
