Trade-offs
Strengths and limitations
Published together so the trade-offs are visible before you decide.
Strengths
- A vertical grip at a recorded 57 degrees: The recorded grip angle is Vertical (57 degrees), and the vertical grip appears in the recorded feature list. The hand is held in a handshake position rather than flat, which is the reason this mouse exists at all.
- Lighter than the sculpted alternative: The recorded weight is 125 g against a recorded 141 g for the Logitech MX Master 3S. On a mouse that stays under the hand all day, 16 g is a difference you feel before you notice it on paper.
- Multi-device switching over standard radios: Multi-device switching is in the recorded feature list, and connectivity is recorded as Bluetooth Low Energy and Logi Bolt, so the mouse moves between a laptop and a desktop without a proprietary receiver.
Limitations
- The recorded hand size excludes larger hands: The recorded intended hand size is small to medium. The Logitech MX Master 3S is recorded for medium to large hands, which is the other half of this decision, and no recorded specification bridges the gap between them.
- No sensor resolution and no switch specification: Neither a sensor resolution nor a switch specification is recorded for this mouse. The MX Master 3S records 8000 DPI and quiet switches, so both of those questions are answerable there and are open here.

Logitech Lift
Both are compact Logitech mice with Bluetooth Low Energy, Logi Bolt and multi-device pairing. The Lift is the vertical option for smaller hands, while the MX Anywhere 3S stays flat and travels at 99 g.
