The Logitech MX Master 2S is an impressive mouse for everyday use. It's made out of high-quality plastic and has a premium and extremely well-built feel. The ergonomics are great and should be comfortable enough to not cause soreness or fatigue during long work sessions. It's compatible with both Windows and macOS and can be paired to up to three devices at a time, meaning you can easily use it with your work and home computer, or with various machines in your house. Unfortunately, it may not be great to take around with you as it's on the larger side and is fairly heavy, though this gives it a good sturdy feel on your desk. This also means it may not be suitable for those with small hands, as they may have a hard time reaching all the buttons.
Our Verdict
The Logitech MX Master 2S is very good for mixed usage. It has impressive ergonomics, making it comfortable to use for long periods of time, great for use in the office. Depending how you hold the mouse, however, you may have a hard time hitting all the buttons if you have smaller hands. While it may not have all the features hardcore gamers may be looking for, its decent click latency should be alright for more casual gaming sessions.
See our Mixed Usage recommendationsThe Logitech MX Master 2S is an excellent mouse for the office. It feels remarkably well-built and should be comfortable enough to last a full work day without causing soreness. Its plethora of programmable button options will likely please multimedia creators as well, though those with smaller hands may have a hard time reaching all the buttons.
The Logitech MX Master 2S is okay for travel. It's a versatile mouse thanks to its Bluetooth or USB dongle connectivity options and ability to connect to three different devices at a time. While it feels durable enough to be tossed around in a bag, the mouse itself is quite large and likely won't fit into many smaller laptop cases. Its large size also means that those with smaller hands may have a hard time reaching all the buttons, depending how they hold the mouse.
The Logitech MX Master 2S is decent for FPS games. While its click latency should be responsive enough for most people, it's very heavy which may not be ideal for FPS games. Unfortunately, its larger size means those with smaller hands may have a hard time reaching all the buttons.

Test Results
Unlike flashy gamer-centric mice, the Logitech MX Master 2S has a clean and professional look that shouldn't stand out in any computer setup.
The Logitech MX Master 2S is quite heavy and, unlike some other mice, the weight can't be customized.
Disappointing portability. The Logitech MX Master 2S is quite large and heavy and likely won't fit into most laptop cases.
The Logitech MX Master 2S has outstanding build quality. The main body of the mouse is made of high-quality, rigid plastic, which feels extremely well-built. The mouse wheel is slightly loose, but other than that, we didn't notice any issues.
The Logitech MX Master 2S has excellent ergonomics. The mouse is curved to match the shape of your hand, making it a great choice for a palm grip or claw grip. Unfortunately, the two side buttons are small and rather high, which may be hard for some to reach, especially those with small hands.
This mouse may not be suitable for small hands using palm grip, as it may be difficult to reach the side buttons.
This mouse may not be suitable for small hands using claw grip, as it may be difficult to reach all the buttons.
The Logitech MX Master 2S's shape is designed more for palm or claw grip, and may not be ideal for those who use the fingertip grip, unless you have very large hands.
Although it can be plugged in to your PC for charging purposes, the Logitech MX Master 2S can only pair to your computer via a wireless connection. It's one of the few mice on the market that comes with a proprietary receiver, but can also be used over Bluetooth. Through a button on the bottom of the mouse, you're able to switch between three paired devices.
The included Micro USB cable is decent, but it's a bit rigid. The Logitech MX Master 2S can be used while charging, but it still requires a wireless connection to your PC.
The sensor is in the center of the mouse, and works on almost any surface, even a glass desk or patio table.
This mouse has decent click latency. While it's not as low as dedicated gaming mice, it should still feel responsive enough for most people. Although this mouse can be plugged in, it still relies on its wireless connection so doesn't benefit from a lower wired click latency.
The performance of this mouse is great. It has a wide CPI range with 50 adjustment steps, meaning you can easily fine-tune how quickly the cursor moves around your screen to suit your personal preferences. Unfortunately, the polling rate isn't very good, meaning the cursor may not feel too fluid when moving around.
There's a customizable button under where your thumb rests that allows you to program different gesture-based commands, such as minimizing a window when you press it and swipe the mouse downwards. There's no dedicated button for switching profiles, though these can be assigned to individual apps on your computer via Logitech's software. There's a button on the bottom of the mouse to switch between three paired devices.
There's a scroll unlock button below the scroll wheel to toggle between incremented or infinite scroll.
This mouse has no on-board memory; instead, you create an account via the Logitech Options software and save your settings to your account. The software also allows you to create profiles for specific programs that are loaded when that software is opened.
Compared to other mice
The MX Master 2S is a great versatile mouse with a very professional look and comfortable design. It can be wirelessly connected to three devices simultaneously and has fairly low wireless click latency, which is great. Its performance will satisfy most office users, but it won't be ideal for more competitive gamers. Although it's an excellent office option thanks to its programmable buttons and gesture-enabled commands, people with smaller hands might have trouble reaching all the buttons.

The Logitech MX Master 3 is a slight improvement over the Logitech MX Master 2S when it comes to ergonomics. The side buttons and side scroll wheel are now easier to reach and use. However, the MX Master 3 has more latency than its predecessor, which is unfortunate, although most people won't notice it. The polling rate of the 2S is also slightly higher, which can result in a more fluid cursor movement.
The Logitech MX Master 2S is a better mouse than the Apple Magic Mouse 2. It has more buttons and a much more comfortable, ergonomic design. It can also be used in both palm and grip type, though people with small hands may have a difficult time getting a comfortable grasp, while the Magic Mouse is designed to only be used with fingertip grip. However, if you're an Apple user, you may appreciate the touch-sensitive surface of the Magic Mouse which is compatible with all the swipe-based gestures in macOS.
The Logitech MX Master 2S is a better office mouse than the Logitech G602, while gamers may prefer the layout of the G602 more. The MX Master 2S feels better-built and has better ergonomics. However, it's a larger mouse and people will smaller hands will likely have a hard time getting a comfortable grip. The G602, on the other hand, can be used in palm grip with small hands. The MX Master 2S is also rechargeable, while the G602 requires 2 AA batteries. That said, gamers will likely appreciate the six side buttons on the G602.
The Logitech MX Master 2S and the Logitech G903 are both great mice but designed for different uses. The MX Master 2S is designed more with productivity in mind and has a comfortable, ergonomic fit with a thumb rest on the left side. It also has a horizontal scroll wheel and a slightly better-built quality, but unfortunately may be too large for smaller hands. On the other hand, the G903 is more gamer-centric with RGB lighting, two programmable side buttons, a much higher max CPI, and a smaller body that can be used by almost every hand size in any grip type.
The Logitech MX Master 2S and the Logitech G305 are designed with different uses in mind. The MX Master 2S is more of an office mouse, with a thumb rest for comfort and a side horizontal scroll wheel to help navigate through big documents and spreadsheets. The G305, on the other hand, is more designed for gaming, with only two side buttons and a wider CPI range. The MX Master 2S is a bit large, however, and may not be comfortable for small hands. The G305 is suitable for most hand sizes for all grip types, though those with large hands may not find it comfortable for palm grip.
The Logitech MX Master 2S and the Logitech MX Vertical are both great office mice. The MX Master 2S feels better built, has more programmable buttons, and features a side horizontal wheel, which is great for scrolling sideways through Excel spreadsheets. On the other hand, The MX Vertical's more unique shape is great if you find your wrist gets sore after long days of using your mouse. The MX Master 2S is also fairly large, and may not be comfortable for people with small hands.
The Logitech MX Master 2S is a better mouse than the Logitech M510. Its performance is better and the MX Master 2S' shape is more ergonomic for long periods of use. It also has a side scroll wheel and is noticeably better-built than the cheaply made M510.
The Logitech MX Master 2S is a better overall mouse than the Anker Wireless Vertical Mouse, but it doesn't offer an as ergonomic design as the Anker. The overall performance of the MX Master 2S is better, but its design doesn't put your wrist in a neutral position like the Anker's vertical design.
The Logitech MX Master 2S is drastically better than the J-Tech Digital V628X. The Logitech feels much better built, is much lighter, is much more comfortable, is wireless, has a much more accurate and consistent sensor, has a much better mouse wheel, and has better software that's compatible with both Windows and macOS. On the other hand, the J-Tech Digital V628X has more programmable buttons and a lower click latency. Both mice are recommended for palm or claw grip with medium or larger hands.
