I think the 3 is a slight improvement over the 2s, but they're both fine mice. I've used the MX Master 2s and MX Master 3. I was lucky enough to find it still in stock at Staples just a month ago. I actually "downgraded" to an original once my 2 got worn out. And if you don't use the multi-device feature, that doesn't matter anyway. Which is worse in every conceivable way, so I don't know why that's considered an improvement.

I'm a very simple guy, I just use three buttons, not even back/forwards, so I don't need additional bloatware.įrom what I can tell, the only "improvement" aside from cosmetics of the 2S over the 2 is that the multi-device switching is done by something you install on your computer now, instead of buttons on the bottom of the mouse. Additionally, it won't try to auto-install the Logitech software the first time you connect it to a new computer, so that's a nice bonus. Doesn't matter for the regular MX Master since its a desktop mouse, but for the Anywhere it does since it's a portable mouse.

The main reason I like it better is the use of AAs instead of a rechargeable, but it also has a garage for the Unifying receiver (as mentioned), and the power switch covers the laser lens to protect it. MX 2 onwards still retain the 2.4GHz receiver, but you can't keep it WITH the mouse which is annoying as heck and since these Unifying receivers are so tiny, they are almost guaranteed to get lost. But with a receiver, you can position away from the interference source by using a USB extension cable on a USB2 port. Bluetooth can also get interference from things like WiFi and USB3, like a 2.4GHz receiver.

That means you still need to keep another mouse around for setting up things. Bluetooth doesn't work in UEFI or anywhere where you haven't paired it first (i.e. I get the appeal for some people, but I prefer something I can plug in. The original was far superior to the 2, especially if you are not using the multiple device feature. I use the Anywhere versions, but other than size and it being ambidextrous, they are very similar in functionality.
