Logitech has been in the wireless mouse business for a long time now. Ever since Logitech announced the first generation of the MX Anywhere mouse in 2009, I have been a big fan of the compact mouse. The Logitech MX Anywhere 2 improves the first generation by offering useful features that make it the best compact wireless mouse on the market.
Multi-computer support
Using Logitech Flow, you can pair the mouse with up to three devices at once via Pico Unifying Receiver or Bluetooth. Once connected, you can use the Logitech Easy-SwitchTM button to switch between the connected devices. With multiple devices connected, you can move your mouse cursor across three computers and even copy/paste text, images and files from one computer to another.
Track and Scroll Anywhere
The MX Anywhere 2 has a Darkfield™ Laser Sensor technology that flawlessly tracks on any surface, including glass and high-gloss surfaces. The mouse is also designed to provide fast scrolling when you press the wheel, which allows you to switch between click-to-click scrolling or infinite scrolling.
Fast Charging
With the Logitech MX Anywhere 2S, the rechargeable batteries are built in. This is a change from first generation but you can charge quickly and get enough power for a full day of usage in only 3 minutes (one minute of chage gives you 2hrs of usage). You can also use the mouse while recharging. When you have a full charge, it can last up to two months (70 days).

The Logitech MX Anywhere 2S mouse is highly recommended, not only for the features listed above but for its amazing and reliable build quality. The MX Anywhere mouse provides long wireless range, with operating range of 10 meters (32ft). The mouse also fits your hands very comfortably. The first generation MX Anywhere mouse that I own has experienced many drops and falls but it has lasted for 9 years without any troubles or hiccups.
