The MX Anywhere 3S takes the core of Logitech's MX line and shrinks it to 99 g and about 10 cm long, which is why it is our pick for people who carry a mouse every day. The Darkfield sensor tracks on glass and runs from 200 to 8,000 DPI, so a glass hotel desk or a glossy cafe table is not a problem. The MagSpeed wheel offers both line-by-line and fast free-spin scrolling, and Logitech says the clicks are quieter than on the MX Anywhere 3, which helps on a train or in a shared office. It pairs with up to three devices over Bluetooth and charges over USB-C, with Logitech rating the 500 mAh battery at up to 70 days and 3 hours from a 1-minute charge. The trade-offs: there is no receiver in the box, only six buttons, no thumb wheel, and the small body can feel cramped for large hands during a full workday.
