Who wins on what

Ranked by what users actually praise

Overall Impression

Build quality and everyday feel impress most users. Multiple commenters call it upscale, precise, and comfortable, praising the Darkfield sensor's accuracy on glass and glossy tables and the smooth, weighted metal scroll wheel. Some prefer it over the bulkier MX Master line for ergonomics, and Logitech Flow lets it switch seamlessly across up to three connected devices, which several people highlight as a standout convenience feature for multi-computer setups.

Button switch failures are the most serious recurring problem. Several long-time users report the middle click or scroll wheel button failing after months or years, causing unwanted double-clicks and drag issues; some threw away multiple units before finding DIY fixes using contact cleaner or replacement switches. One user notes the warranty was shortened to one year, suggesting the manufacturer is aware of the defect, making durability a real concern for buyers.

Opinions are split on noise level and missing features versus predecessors. Some testers found in-store units extremely loud while other owners say their unit is nearly silent, pointing to inconsistent quality control. Several longtime MX Anywhere 2S users are disappointed the 3 dropped scroll-wheel side buttons and tilt-click functionality they relied on for volume, brightness, and custom shortcuts, and some feel the free-spinning scroll wheel lacks enough friction or control compared to the older model.
