Logitech MX Anywhere 3

Alright, so the Logitech MX Anywhere 3 is one of those gadgets that feels like it was made for folks who are always on the move. It's small and lightweight, which is a big win if you’re hopping around from one cafe to another or just moving from your home office to your couch. The size doesn’t sacrifice comfort, though. It’s got a nice ergonomic design that fits well in your hand, and the buttons are satisfying to click. But if you’ve got larger hands, you might feel like you’re trying to hold a tiny pebble. It’s a bit of a tradeoff for the portability.

The standout feature here is the MagSpeed scroll wheel. It’s smooth, precise, and probably one of the best I’ve used. You can scroll through long documents or web pages faster than usual, and there's this cool feature where you can switch from line-by-line to free-spin scrolling with a gentle flick. It’s a game-changer for productivity junkies. However, if you’re not someone who spends all day scrolling, this feature might not add much value for you.

Now, battery life is another strong suit of this mouse. Logitech claims it can last up to 70 days on a full charge, and honestly, it’s pretty darn close to that. Charging is also convenient since it uses a USB-C port, so no more messing around with those outdated cables. But here’s the kicker — there’s no place to store the receiver inside the mouse, which can be a bit annoying if you tend to lose things easily. You’ll need to be a bit more organized with this one.

Connectivity is versatile with Bluetooth and the USB receiver options, making it easy to switch between devices. This is great if you’re working across multiple platforms. I’ve tested it on both Mac and Windows, and it worked like a charm on both. However, the Bluetooth connection can occasionally be a little finicky, dropping out unexpectedly. It’s not a dealbreaker, but it’s something to keep in mind if you rely heavily on a stable connection.

At the end of the day, the MX Anywhere 3 is a solid option if you prioritize portability and ease of use. It’s not perfect and has its quirks, but the pros outweigh the cons. Whether it’s worth the price tag depends on how much you value those nifty features. If you’re someone who’s always on the go and appreciates smart design, it might just be the mouse you didn’t know you needed. Otherwise, it might feel a bit like overkill for casual use.
