Our Verdict

Logitech MX Anywhere 3

Logitech MX Anywhere 3S

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.
