When I showed my wife, a data scientist, she said it was a dream feature for her work.Īlso in the Logitech Options software is Flow, which lets you move your cursor from one computer screen to the next and even copy and paste or send files between computers. I opened up a Google Sheet to test the feature and it worked flawlessly. One last thing about the scroll wheel: horizontal scrolling is achieved by pressing and holding one of the side buttons and moving the wheel up or down. Free-spin mode demonstrates inertia the wheel spins freely when you flick it with virtually no friction or sound. There are two scrolling modes, Ratchet and Free-Spin, which you can cycle through using the oblong button located above the wheel. The MX Anywhere 3 is a simple mouse with advanced features.Īdopted from the MX Master 3, the MagSpeed electromagnetic scroll wheel is made of machined aluminum and capable of traveling up to 1,000 lines per second so you can quickly navigate rows and rows of spreadsheets. There is no integrated USB storage, so be careful not to lose the receiver when you unplug it from your device. If the mouse isn't connecting, you can press the "Easy-switch" button and hold it for three seconds to manually activate pairing.Ĭonnecting to my laptop with the USB receiver was effortless I just wish Logitech found a place to store the dongle in the mouse. All you need to do is pair your first device, then press the button to switch channels (this will enable pairing mode) and connect to the second device. I had no problems switching from a Dell laptop connected to the mouse via the USB dongle to an HP system connected to the mouse via Bluetooth. Some people might prefer this grip I, on the other hand, like to feel the top of the mouse against my palm. In this position, the palm and center of my hand hover just above the top of the mouse while my fingers rest on the clickers and sides. The MX Anywhere 3 is too small for such a grip, so I had to learn to use a fingertip grip. My day-to-day mouse is a Logitech Rival 3, which I use with a palm grip where my entire hand rests on the top panel. Logitech also offers the MX Anywhere 3 in pale gray and rose.Īs thoughtfully designed as it is, the MX Anywhere 3 isn't the most comfortable mouse for my hands because of its small size. The graphite version I reviewed has a dark gray body and grips that contrast subtly against a light gray underside and top panel. What I can't fault is the machined chrome scroll wheel, which adds elegance to the accessory. I wish the same soft-touch material was used on the top of the mouse instead of the smooth plastic, but I'm nitpicking here.
