Full product research

The Logitech MX Anywhere 3S is recorded as a compact wireless mouse intended for travel, weighing 99 g, with Bluetooth Low Energy and Logi Bolt connectivity, a stated battery life of up to 70 days on a full charge, and recorded surface support that states it works on glass and most surfaces. No recorded features are listed for it. Two other mice in our catalogue are the products a buyer weighs against it.

The recorded reasons to look elsewhere

Palm support. The MX Anywhere 3S is recorded as compact. A mouse recorded as sculpted for medium to large hands is a different object, and one buyer will find the shape restful where the other finds it small.

Grip. There is no recorded grip angle for the MX Anywhere 3S. A mouse recorded at a 57 degree vertical angle is a different approach to forearm position rather than a variation on the same shape.

The feature list. No features are recorded for the MX Anywhere 3S, while both alternatives record multi device switching. That is a difference in what our records hold as much as in the products themselves.

The Logitech MX Master 3S, for a sculpted shape and more controls

The MX Master 3S is recorded as an ergonomic wireless mouse with an 8000 DPI sensor, a weight of 141 g, Bluetooth Low Energy and Logi Bolt connectivity, a stated battery life of up to 70 days on a full charge, and 7 buttons. Its recorded features are multi device switching and quiet switches.

The two mice share the same recorded connectivity and the same stated battery figure. What separates them is size and purpose. The MX Master 3S is 42 g heavier on the recorded weights and is recorded for medium to large hands, with a sculpted shape and a thumb rest, while the MX Anywhere 3S is recorded as compact and built for travel. The MX Master 3S also records a button count and a sensor resolution, and neither is recorded for the MX Anywhere 3S.

The Logitech Lift, for a vertical grip and smaller hands

The Logitech Lift is recorded as a vertical ergonomic wireless mouse at a 57 degree grip angle, weighing 125 g, with Bluetooth Low Energy and Logi Bolt connectivity, and it is recorded for small to medium hands. Its recorded features are multi device switching and a vertical grip.

Here the trade runs the other way. The Lift is 26 g heavier than the MX Anywhere 3S on the recorded figures, and it gives up the recorded surface support that says the MX Anywhere 3S works on glass. What it adds is a recorded grip angle and a recorded intended hand size, neither of which is recorded for the MX Anywhere 3S.

What the records do not settle

No features are recorded for the MX Anywhere 3S, so a comparison of build characteristics against the alternatives cannot be completed from the data we hold. Neither mouse records a price, and the Lift records up to 24 months on one AA battery, so the 70 day statement applies only to the mice that record it.

Every value here carries the state it was recorded in: read from the manufacturer's own documentation and not yet checked against a specific product page.

Differences

What actually differs

  • The Logitech Lift, a recorded vertical grip

    The Lift records a 57 degree vertical grip angle, a weight of 125 g and an intended hand size of small to medium. It gives up the recorded glass and most surfaces support and weighs 26 g more than the subject.
