Our Verdict

Logitech M720 Triathlon

Logitech MX Anywhere 3S

The Logitech M720 Triathlon and the Logitech MX Anywhere 3S are productivity-focused wireless mice. The M720 Triathlon is larger, somewhat sturdier feeling, and has a more ergonomic right-handed shape. It also has an integrated gesture button on the thumb rest, and its scroll wheel has left and right tilt inputs. It connects wirelessly via Bluetooth or Logitech's Unified Receiver. On the other hand, the MX Anywhere 3S is somewhat smaller and lighter. It has a symmetrical shape and is designed more with portability in mind. Its sensor has a higher maximum CPI, and it has quieter mouse clicks.
