Our Verdict

Logitech MX Master 3

Logitech M720 Triathlon

While the Logitech M720 Triathlon is an excellent office or multimedia mouse, the Logitech MX Master 3 may be a better choice for most people, thanks to its more ergonomic and comfortable design. The MX Master 3 has a better build quality, it has a thumbwheel, and its larger size may be a better choice if you have larger hands. However, the Triathlon is smaller, so it may be more suitable if you have smaller hands.
