Logitech MX Anywhere 3S Review
The computer accessories market isn't changing as dynamically as smartphones or laptops, but there are products that, despite the passage of time, remain a safe choice. One of them is the Logitech MX Anywhere 3S. In 2026, it's still one of the most recommended compact mice for work. Is that right?
I checked whether it was still worth buying several years after its release.
First impressions and build quality
The MX Anywhere 3S is a premium mouse—and you can feel it from the first touch. The casing is solid, well-fitted, and the materials feel durable. This is a device that can easily withstand the daily rigors of being thrown into a backpack or bag.
Its biggest advantage is its compact size. This mouse was designed with mobility in mind—it takes up little space, is lightweight, and is easy to transport. At the same time, it doesn't feel like a "miniature toy" like cheaper travel models.
8K DPI sensor – works even on glass
Logitech has implemented a sensor with sensitivity up to 8000 DPI, which works on virtually any surface—even glass (min. 4 mm thick). This means you don't need a mouse pad.
Accuracy is excellent, both for office work and for more precise tasks (e.g., 2D graphics, video editing, working in Excel). This isn't a gaming mouse, but it's excellent for everyday use.
Silent clicks – a big plus
One of the biggest changes compared to older models is the Silent Click switches. The clicks are noticeably quieter, but still clearly noticeable.
In practice:
- less noise in the office,
- comfortable work in the evening,
- no annoying "clicking" during video conferencing.
It's a small thing, but you quickly start to appreciate it.
MagSpeed – the best skate in its class
The metal MagSpeed scroll wheel is one of this mouse's strongest points. It can operate in two modes:
- precise, gradual scrolling,
- ultra-fast scrolling without resistance.
It makes a huge difference when working with long documents, spreadsheets, or code review. The mechanism is quiet, smooth, and very satisfying to use.
Work on multiple devices
The MX Anywhere 3S allows you to pair up to three devices and switch between them with a single button.
This is a great solution if:
- you work on a laptop and a desktop computer,
- you use a computer and a tablet at the same time,
- you have a work and a private computer.
Works via Bluetooth or Logi Bolt receiver (depending on the version of the kit).
Battery and charging
The claimed operating time is approximately 70 days on a single charge. In practice, with heavy use, this usually lasts several weeks, which is still a very good result.
Charging is via USB-C. A few minutes of charging will provide hours of use, so it's hard to say there's any problem with the battery.
Comfort – is it suitable for all day wear?
This is the biggest compromise of this design.
The MX Anywhere 3S is small—ideal for travel, but not necessarily the best for those with large hands who work 8-10 hours a day. For extended periods of use, the MX Master 3S is more ergonomic.
If you have medium or smaller hands and prefer a fingertip or claw grip, the comfort will be very good.
Defects
This is not a product without drawbacks:
- high price (premium segment),
- the small size may not suit everyone,
- no Logi Bolt receiver in some versions of the set,
- no additional buttons known from the MX Master series.
Is it worth buying in 2026?
Yes – if you're looking for a compact, portable mouse for work.
The MX Anywhere 3S remains one of the best small office mice on the market. Its excellent sensor, quiet clicks, excellent scroll wheel, and multi-device support make it difficult to find a truly better alternative in this size.
However, if you work mainly at a desk and care about maximum ergonomics, a better choice would be the larger model from the MX Master series.
Final grade (2026)
Build quality: 9/10
Mobility: 10/10
Comfort: 7.5/10
Functionality: 9/10
Profitability: 8/10
Verdict: One of the best premium compact mice that still holds up despite the passage of time.
