This is the best review I have seen for this mouse. Being that it’s 2022 and I’m incredibly lazy and just want to order from Amazon I’m thankful that there are people who review these items so I can make an informed decision. I liked and subscribed based on this video. Keep up the great work!
Ah that’s so kind! Thank you and enjoy your new mouse.
Thanks helped me clearly settle on the MX Anywhere 3. Good for small hands, portability, mag wheel, and what sold me was the horizontal scrolling ability.
Thank you for this review. Appreciate it. Really clear and helpful for a potential buyer.
The MX Master 3 is not for everyone. If you do not use a palm grip, it is extremely uncomfortable due to the huge size, forcing you to hold it in that way, no matter the size of your hand. So the MX Anywhere 3 is much more suitable for me hopefully, since I use the fingertip grip.
true. i got the mx master 3 then i had to buy a palm grip to use comfortable
I think that the MX Anywhere 3 is good for most people. People who use palm grip need to stop using it and start using smaller mice. It leads to more RSI problems. It requires you to use more muscle and to use your entire arm to move it around. Using it all day puts a lot more stress on your muscles. On top of that the mice used with the palm grip are bigger and heavier, meaning it will cost more strength to move them... also leading to an increased risk of developing RSI problems. And well, then there's the fact that this grip is just less accurate and slower.
I'd say the number 1 kind of people who develop RSI problems from computer usage are professional gamers. They used the claw or fingertip grip for most part, but they use it so much and so intensively that it can lead to problems. The number 2 people would be office workers. Folks who aren't too familiar with using a PC properly and stick to early, nasty habits they developed. Not like they played much in terms of PC games, they never had the need to adapt to a more efficient grip.
That being said, the MX Anywhere 3 is called lightweight in quite a few reviews... but I think it's actually relatively heavy for such a small mouse. It's a very comfy one, but if I had to think of 1 improvement for the next iteration it's to significantly reduce the weight. In the recent year we've had some mice being 60 or so grams... the expensive Finalmouse Starfall-12 mice even go as low as 43 or so (but also insanely beautiful). This one is like 99 grams... so it would be very nice if they could half the weight or something in the next iteration. Sure, 60 grams would be nice... but less than 50 would be amazing. It seems pro gamers are starting to move towards light mice for gaming as well. It's not just good for your hand/arm health, but it allows for increased accuracy, speed and precision as well.
This perfectly sums up my experience. I have the MX Master 2S and Anywhere 2S and prefer the Anywhere because I do not use a palm grip with either one. A finger grip works beautifully with the Anywhere, but quickly becomes uncomfortable with the larger mouse.
Thank you for the review! I've been debating between the two and you helped me feel 100% confident in making a final decision!
Wich one is it gonna be?
Tell us Kat. Which one was it?
Great review. I’ve been using the MX 2S for a while now as a travel and sometimes desktop mouse. When I heard there was a new MX 3 I got excited, but was quickly tuned down by the apparent lack of the way I was used to scroll left or right on it (by tilting the scroll wheel left or right). I thought “why would Logitech remove this feature on the newer MX 3”. So, I kept the old one. But now, after seeing your review, I learned this function’s execution is now done differently, not removed. Like you said, it might require some new memory muscle.
Thanks so much!
I might actually start reconsidering.
You are the only one so far I found showing the sound of the clicks😊
Great video! I’d love to see a comparison of the MX Anywhere with the new Logi Signature M650
Really a great and comprehensive review! Well done!
Thank you so much for this detailed video. Loved it. I was on the payment section for MX master 3 when it hits on my head to look for MX Anywhere as a comparison. And see, now I am going to but Anywhere... 👍
Glad I could help. Enjoy your mouse!
Thanks for the comparison. I have an MX Master 3 and, after taking my Anywhere 2s out of the drawer, forgot how much I loved the Anywhere size profile. So I bought the MX Anywhere 3. To be certain, the MX Master 3 is a great (and large) mouse but I tend to use apps where I'm navigating back and forth between the keyboard and mouse. I found that it took me those annoying little extra fractions of a second to properly get a good/correct grip on the Master 3. With the Anywhere 3, the switch between keyboard-mouse-keyboard is so much quicker. Both great mice - just prefer the Anywhere series.
Great recap! Enjoy your Anywhere 3 and thanks for watching.
Great video, thanks for the comparison!
This was an excellent review , thank you . I have arthritis and IYO , what you be the most ' pain free ' of the 2 ? I really like the idea of the anywhere 3 side scrolling feature , have not known about this watching other videos , so thanks again . Take care , D.
That extra button looks pretty useful for opening exposè on a Mac. I find Max a nightmare to navigate without that feature
Yes, it's so convenient to flip the mouse over and press the DOWN button every time just to switch the device
Nice video! Helped a lot, thanks!
Very detailed and informative review. Can you make a comparison of MX Anywhere 3 and Razer Pro click please?😊
Thanks for the horizontal scroll tip on the Anywhere. I always wondered if there was a way to do it.
Subbed because I loved your review
Any mouse with a scroll wheel should be able to horizontally scroll when you hold down on the shift key while scrolling. 🤔
WTF 😳. You're a saviour man. Thanks a ton 🙌🏻🤩
* flies away *
Now days people are becoming lazy thanks to these tech co.
Great review! Thanks and keep it up!
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed. 🙂
Thank you for the helpful review.
You're correct, the Anywhere 3 is ever so slightly biased for right-handers but it works fine in the left too. I'm naturally right-handed but I like to switch the mouse between hands on different days and it's honestly mostly not noticeable.
Glad I’m not crazy. Thanks for sharing!
do you notice any difference in precision between their scroll wheels?
outside of the custom functions of having the side scroll wheels on the master, side scrolling itself
should not be a factor in deciding between the 2. By default, if you hold one of the side buttons on the mini while you use the scroll wheel you’re able to side scroll left and right all the same.
Wow, I didn't know that. You're a life-saver.
Great video dude!
thank you, i am looking to get the mouse with the horizontal scrolling that is not too big as I have small hands I think I will pick this one up :)
I wonder why the Logitech MX Anywhere 3 uses a Unifying Receiver and the Logitech MX Anywhere 3 For Business uses a Bolt receiver. It's also really stupid that these aren't cross-compatible.
How about just holding shift and scroll with the normal wheel? I've been using that for years and I think you have the best control with it.
everyone talks about the MS Master ergonomics, but no one review its ergonomics!!!!
Really useful. Had a £10 wireless Microsoft mouse for years but it's always bugged me having to use up a USB slot with the dongle. Then recently work bought me an Apple Magic Mouse 2. Thought it would be amazing... it isn't. Apart from it being Bluetooth (and thus having no dongle), the only thing I like about it is being able to scroll horizontally with a gesture. But it doesn't have a middle click! Meaning you can't open stuff in new tabs quickly along with a few other things. Didn't know how much I took that for granted until I didn't have it. However, not having a dongle is lush, so I'm on the hunt for a Bluetooth mouse. It was between a cheap £15 Technet one and a more expensive Logitech MX Anywhere 3 (personally I don't like ergonomic designs so I've not considered the Master). This video has persuaded me to get the Logitech I think. Thanks for the help!
logitech m590 works really well for me, and the price is not expensive either...
Great video! Thanks
great review thank you so much
You can program the buttons to do macros and all the stuff you want
Can you map the device switch button that’s on the bottom to one of the top buttons? Seems like a very odd place to put a button as you can’t use it? It’s like the apple charger on the bottom 😂
is Alt + scroll not a thing for horizontal scroll?
I suspect that using the anywhere mouse in the left hand will be awkward as the side controls will not be as easy to use with fingers as compared to your thumb for right handed use.
Good point.
According to Logitech’s website you can horizontally scroll by clicking the side button and then scrolling FYI.
Do u have big hands?
Yes I have both of them.
Do these switch devices along with the MX Keys or do you have to swap on the mouse as well?
I believe that if you have the MX Anywhere then the keys will auto switch when the mouse switches.
Needed this
I can get them for pretty much the same price. TBH I was surprised by the price of the MX Anywhere.
It looks nice and I mainly want it to match the colour of my MX Keys Mini (currently have a Microsoft Surface Precision Mouse as my multi device mouse)
The MX master feels a bit fussy with all its buttons? Also the MX master does t use the new volt adapter
The MX master 3 is unifying. The MX Master 3S is bolt.
@@Ikouy thank you that’s good to know
I have Master 3. I love its buttons, especially horizontal scroll, but it's bulky for travel, and I wish they made it in two sizes because for most women or people with smaller hands it's awkward to use and my hand gets cramped trying to reach some buttons or hanging across the mouse.
So I've been considering switching to Anywhere.
I'm left handed, too, but I'm used to using a house in my right hand.
waiting for the anywhere 3S with silent buttons, waiting and waiting :)
nice video, funny you mention about not being for left handed.... I cant imagine using a mouse in my left hand even tho I am left handed... strange I only noticed that today.
can i use it for gaming also?
The difference I think is the MX Master 3 feels more like a full size Battleship from Star Wars whereas the MX Anywhere feels more like a Starfighter.
In computer market if you talk about mice, Logitech MX Mice will definitely be the best one in the market & I personally love the MX Master 3 because of its shape, comfort & ergonomics.
MX master or any MX Mice will provide the best features across all operating systems.
Also This MX mice goes way better than the apple magic mouse & gives you unlimited feature access via Logitech software & you can also use it while charging 😁
You can side-scroll with shift + vertical-scroll with regular mice.
4:32 Like some Apple products, chargers on the bottom, stupidly! - We love it!!!
Hi,
My MX Master 3 has gotten sticky because the rubber coating has worn down even though I haven’t used it that much.
Does the MX Anywhere 3 have the same rubber coating?
I’m looking to get a more compact mouse, and it seems like a good option, but I’d like to avoid the same problem with the coating.
Cleaning it doesn’t do the trick, rubbing alcohol supposedly wears down the rubber even more.
Thanks for any input!
I am using anywhere 3 for the last 3 years and Yes the rubber grips on both the sides have just come off from the mouse. I thought master 3 would be better in this aspect.
Want to buy this mouse but saw some comments that the side rubber where the thumb rests becomes saggy/worn out after some while. Anyone had this experience?
Yes, this is the problem with the MX Master as well, eventually the rubber panel on the thumb rest will degrade, exposing the internals. Not a great design.
@@j.p.9522 i just bought orochi v2 instead, all plastic
8:02 Limited what? 😅
"Limited fuck . . err . . flexibility" 😅
got the anywhere 3 for $40 .. can't beat it.
The 3s model is apparently a quiet click version?
Correct. I love the quiet clicks so if I were buying today I’d definitely go 3S.
Thanks for confirming that, I have the Logitech M650 mouse and it's silent, still pretty new, love it so much and was considering an upgrade to the mx 3@@CameronDoughertyTech
There’s actually another button missing on the MX Anywhere. The gesture button on the wing of the mouse. So the scroll wheel ain’t the only difference. Not sure if many people will miss it though, this fella didn’t even know it existed haha.
You’re absolutely correct, but if you press and hold the scroll wheel, you can use the mouse for gestures just as you would the MX Master 3. The scroll wheel is basically the new gestures button.
"Anywhere" doesn't really make sense^^ On the train, in the Starbucks and in the library people go crazy with this version. The MX Master 3 is even more portable :D
For 20 dollars less, you lose out on ergonomics, hand feel and side scrolling. While the space the smaller mouse gives for a tiny bag might be worth it to what I feel is a very small minority of people, especially since the MX Master only has that bit sticking out the side which I consider to be a small sacrifice in terms of space when you consider how much better that bit makes the mouse. I can only see the smaller mouse being good for left-handed people and people with small hands and everyone else should get the MX or get something cheaper
I have tiny hands the mx 3 hurt my wrist after a while
Also you can side scroll with tbe anywhere 3, just have to hold one of the side buttons, that being said yh its nowhere near as ergonomic as the side scroll of the mx 3
mouse test without clicking a mouse button 😱
MX Master 3s is more ergonomic, meaning less pain and strain. MX Anywhere 3 would be easier to use with your fingertips, meaning more precision.
Just ordered new on eBay $60
It lags like hell on M1 macs and it’s too small for comfortable use.
". . . . and it’s too small for comfortable use". For you. Not for others. That's not a product fault. You need to end your comment with "for me"".
@@Ken_James_SV what about lagging? It lags on m1 but doesn’t on windows laptop
@@hizakikun1562 - You may be correct about the lag. You are stating a deficiency in the product. But the 'size' of the product is not a deficiency, it's a choice by the buyer. Simple solution: if it's too small, don't buy it. But the Lag is a real problem.
@@Ken_James_SV agree but the lag is what bothers me most that’s why I started with it. Even if it was as big and as comfortable as Mx3 the lag would ruin your experience
All mx master series are working only for an year
Really man?

You dont need small hands to use small things. you should know that ;)
Too much talk, very little content. How much does one want to hear about a mouse? How to change the battery? Troubleshooting? Nada
how you doing?,my dear. so fantasticv ideo.
dont buy logitech! customers "support"- a catastrofe! mouse is the worlds best- but software sucks...
