The Logitech MX Master 2S is an impressive everyday mouse. It's made 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 with 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 fairly heavy, giving 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 difficulty reaching all the buttons.
Note: As of 2023, this mouse seems to be available primarily as a variant called the Bluetooth Edition, which doesn't include the unifying receiver. For more information, see the Differences Between Variants section.

Differences Between Sizes And Variants
The Logitech MX Master 2S is only available in a Graphite colorway. As of 2023, there's a variant of this mouse called the Bluetooth Edition, which seems to be the more commonly available model. The only difference appears to be that the 2.4 GHz USB Unifying receiver is no longer included, so the mouse is intended to only be used 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, let us know in the discussions.
Popular Mouse Comparisons
The Logitech 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 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 and the Logitech MX Master 2S are remarkable office mice from the same lineup. The Master 2S is an updated version with an improved sensor. It has both a lower minimum CPI, a much higher maximum CPI, and a set CPI that's more adjustable with steps of 50 compared to 200 with the original. Unfortunately, it still has a very low, fixed polling rate of 125Hz. The 2S also claims a much longer battery life, but this isn't something we test.
While the Logitech M720 Triathlon is an excellent mouse for office or multimedia use, the Logitech MX Master 2S is likely a better option for most people, thanks partly to its more ergonomic and comfortable design. The MX Master 2S feels better built, has a thumbwheel, and its larger size may be a better choice if you have larger hands. However, the Triathlon may be the ideal option if you have smaller hands.
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 MX Master 3S and the Logitech MX Master 2S are productivity mice from the same lineup. They look very similar and share many features in common, but the MX Master 3S is newer and has several upgrades under the hood. It has quieter clicks, a better sensor, and updated ergonomics with buttons that are easier to reach. It also recharges with a USB-C cable, while the older MX Master 2S uses a micro-USB cable. You can wirelessly connect either mouse via Bluetooth or their included USB receivers, but the MX Master 3S uses Logitech's newer USB BOLT receiver, while the MX Master 2S uses an older Unifying Receiver.
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 higher click latency than its predecessor, which is unfortunate, although most people won't notice it.
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 large and may not be comfortable for people with small hands.
The Logitech MX Master 2S and the Logitech G305 LIGHTSPEED are designed with different uses in mind. The MX Master 2S is an office mouse, with a thumb rest and a side horizontal scroll wheel to help navigate big documents and spreadsheets. The G305 is designed for gaming, with two side buttons, a higher maximum polling rate, and much lower click latency. The MX Master 2S is a bit larger and may not be comfortable for small hands. The G305 is suitable for most hand sizes in any grip type, though those with larger hands may not find it comfortable with a palm grip.
The Logitech MX Master 2S and the Logitech G604 LIGHTSPEED are different. The 2S is an outstanding office mouse that's very comfortable and well-suited for a palm or a claw grip, except if you have smaller hands. It features two scroll wheels, supports gesture commands, and can pair with up to three devices at once. On the other hand, the G604 is an excellent choice for MMO gaming. It has a lot more buttons, including six on the side, and offers more customization options. It also has a much lower click latency when used with its USB receiver.
The Logitech MX Master 2S and the Logitech MX Anywhere 3 are in the same family. The 2S is designed for the office, while the Anywhere is for traveling. The Master is twice as big and quite heavy. It has an ergonomic shape with a slight curve and a thumb rest for more comfort. It’s a great choice for a palm or a claw grip, though people with smaller hands may have difficulty using it with any grip style. On the contrary, the Anywhere is fairly small and lightweight, and it’s well-suited for a fingertip grip.
The Logitech MX ERGO is slightly better than the Logitech MX Master 2S. The ERGO is a trackball mouse with an extra programmable button, lower click latency, and a more comfortable design. On the other side, the Master 2S is a traditional mouse with a wider CPI range, lower increment steps, infinite vertical scrolling, and a horizontal scroll wheel.
The Logitech MX Master 2S and the Apple Magic Mouse 2 are designed for different uses. The Logitech is an ergonomic and comfortable mouse for office use. It has a high back and a thumb rest which makes it most suitable for a palm or claw grip, and it has a freewheel feature and a thumbwheel for easier scrolling. While its ergonomic features make it larger and bulkier than the Apple, it isn't intended to be travel-friendly. On the other hand, the Apple is much more portable thanks to its slimmer shape, so it can easily slide into your laptop bag, which is great if you're often on the go. Unlike the Logitech, the Apple is intended for a fingertip grip only.

The Logitech feels much better built, is much lighter, is much more comfortable, is wireless, has a much more 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 has more programmable buttons and a lower click latency. Both mice are recommended for palm or claw grip with medium or large hands.
The Logitech MX Master 2S is a better office mouse than the Logitech Precision Pro. The MX Master 2S feels better built and more comfortable, and it has a thumbwheel. However, the Precision Pro has an L/R scroll tilt, and its smaller size may be more ideal for people with smaller hands, and it may present better value for some people.
The Logitech MX Master 2S and the Logitech G903 LIGHTSPEED 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. The G903 is more gamer-centric with RGB lighting, two programmable side buttons, a much higher max CPI, and a smaller body that almost every hand size in any grip type can use.
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 with smaller hands will likely struggle to get 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 is better than the Microsoft Arc Mouse. You can use the Logitech with its proprietary receiver or through Bluetooth, has more customization options, and has a scroll wheel. However, the Microsoft is lighter, making it easier to carry around.
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 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 is quite heavy and, unlike some other mice, the weight can't be customized. If you like the ergonomic shape but prefer a lighter mouse, check out the Logitech Precision Pro.

Although it can be plugged into 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 with a proprietary receiver, but it can also be used over Bluetooth. You can switch between three paired devices through a button on the bottom of the mouse.
Note: As of 2023, there's a variant of this mouse called the Bluetooth Edition, which doesn't include the 2.4 GHz USB Unifying Receiver. While we tested the original model, we expect the performance to be the same. Since the Bluetooth Edition is designed to be used over Bluetooth, we're unsure if it would still work with a Unifying Receiver; if you have this variant and can confirm, let us know in the comments.
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.

There's a scroll unlock button behind the scroll wheel that toggles from incremented scrolling to free-scrolling, but this also automatically unlocks whenever you scroll very quickly.
Mouse clicks are loud, but they shouldn't bother those around you unless you're in a noise-sensitive environment.
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.
