The Logitech MX Anywhere 3S is a compact wireless mouse designed as a portable option for productivity and everyday browsing. This mouse continues Logitech's MX Anywhere lineup and makes some improvements over the previous generation Logitech MX Anywhere 3. This new version's mouse buttons are noticeably quieter, and its sensor has a higher maximum sensitivity, which is helpful if you use a high-resolution display. Logitech also advertises that this model incorporates post-consumer recycled plastic in its construction.
This mouse connects wirelessly via Bluetooth. It's also compatible with Logitech's BOLT receiver but doesn't include one in the box. However, since the BOLT receiver uses a modified Bluetooth connection, most people won't notice a difference or necessarily benefit from purchasing it separately. For more information about this receiver, see the Wireless Versatility box later in this review.
Our Verdict
The Logitech MX Anywhere 3S is a good mouse for work use. It has impressive build quality and a comfortable compact shape making it very portable and easy to slide into bags or laptop cases. You can pair this mouse wirelessly with up to three devices simultaneously, and using the software, you can reprogram most of the buttons, create macros, and assign a button to allow simple gesture controls. The scroll wheel also has a line-by-line notched scrolling mode and a faster free-scrolling mode, although it doesn't support tilt inputs.
- Impressive build quality.
- Comfortable, compact design.
- Quiet clicks compared to the last-generation model.
- Scroll wheel has both a notched and free-scrolling mode.
- Scroll wheel lacks L/R tilt inputs.
The Logitech MX Anywhere 3S is good enough for casual FPS gaming but isn't designed specifically for this use. It has impressive build quality, and the sensor is very accurate. However, the click latency and sensor latency is too high for playing fast-paced, competitive titles. Additionally, the polling rate is only 125Hz, so the cursor movements are noticeably less smooth compared to dedicated FPS gaming mice that typically have a polling rate of 1000Hz.
- Impressive build quality.
- Comfortable, compact design.
- Latency is decent but too high for fast-paced or competitive gaming.
The Logitech MX Anywhere 3S is decent for MMO gaming but isn't designed for this use and has fewer side buttons than a dedicated MMO gaming mouse. Additionally, the click latency is only decent, and the maximum polling rate is only 125Hz, so your on-screen cursor movements feel less smooth compared to most dedicated gaming mice that typically have a polling rate of 1000Hz. That said, this mouse has impressive build quality, the sensor is very accurate, and you can reprogram most buttons using the configuration software.
- Impressive build quality.
- Comfortable, compact design.
- Not nearly as many side buttons as a dedicated MMO gaming mouse.
- Latency is decent but too high for fast-paced or competitive gaming.
The Logitech MX Anywhere 3S has adequate raw performance that's very well-suited for productivity, everyday browsing, and casual gaming. However, the click latency and sensor latency is too high for more demanding, fast-paced gaming. Additionally, the maximum polling rate is 125Hz. While this helps prolong the mouse's battery life, cursor movements feel less smooth compared to a dedicated gaming mouse that typically has a polling rate of 1000Hz.
- Decent sensor latency.
- Outstanding sensor accuracy.
- Fixed maximum polling rate of 125Hz.
- Latency is decent but too high for fast-paced or competitive gaming.

Popular Mouse Comparisons
The Logitech MX Anywhere 3S is a wireless mouse that continues Logitech's MX Anywhere lineup of compact, productivity-focused mice. This new version introduces several changes, including quieter click buttons, software support for macros, and a minor sensor upgrade with higher sensitivity levels, which is a useful addition if you have a high-resolution display since pixel-dense displays require higher mouse sensitivity levels to produce cursor movements at a comfortable speed. This mouse offers many of the same productivity features as Logitech's mainstay work mouse, the Logitech MX Master 3S, but in a more portable package. This mouse competes directly with similar compact models from other manufacturers, like the Razer Pro Click Mini.
Unlike the previous generation Logitech MX Anywhere 3, which connects via Bluetooth or the Logitech Unifying Receiver, this mouse connects wirelessly via Bluetooth or Logitech's BOLT receiver that's advertises to provide improved security and wireless stability. This mouse doesn't include a BOLT receiver, but you can buy it separately.
