Logitech MX ANYWHERE 2S
1. MX Anywhere 2
2. Microsoft Arc Mouse
I got this mouse because it's pretty much identical to the MX Anywhere 2, but white (light grey, whatever). There's this other feature that you can use to transfer files between different computers by just dragging and dropping between the computer screens (I have not, and will not try that, because I have a very fast SSD for transferring, and I would rather use that over whatever speeds this thing has. Trust me, this will not be nearly as fast as 2.5GBs read/write).
So I mainly got it out of design. Any cons? The price. $80 is excessive for a mouse like this. I have big hands, but this isn't uncomfortable (unlike the Microsoft Arc Mouse which was uncomfortable immediately).
Ergonomically, this mouse is great. Size-wise for travel, it's great. Battery life, great (charges up with INCLUDED micro-usb cable, so even if it dies, you can use it plugged in).
You can use the mouse with bluetooth (what I do), or the included USB dongle. Overall, if the color isn't important to you, or you don't care about the dragging files between computers feature, just get the old one (MX Anywhere 2). Or if anything, get the $50 MX Anywhere 2S (graphite color). Otherwise, choose the color that you'll enjoy the most.
I've noticed that some of the reviewers have commented about this mouse feeling like it is cheaply made. I'm holding my old Anywhere MX mouse and my new MX Anywhere 2S in each hand. The only difference I notice is the new mouse is lighter - since it doesn't have 2 AA batteries in it. The new 2S version has its own built-in battery. The clicks and button all feel about the same to me. As far as performance goes between the two mice, the 2S feels slightly more exact. I also prefer the new lower profile wireless dongle. It stays in my computer 24/7. The lower profile helps to keep me from bumping it on something or breaking it off.
This is now my 3rd Anywhere mouse. I keep them for a number of years until the buttons wear out. When that happens, I upgrade. While I have no thoughts on the new Flow control and will likely never use it, this mouse seems every bit as good or better than my other two older versions - and no more carrying around a spare set of AA batteries!. Hope this helps...
