Logitech MX Anywhere 2S Bluetooth Edition Wireless Mouse – Use On Any Surface, Hyper-Fast Scrolling, Rechargeable, Control Up to 3 Apple Mac and Windows Computers and Laptops

Comprei para substituir o meu mouse de notebook, que também era um Logitech sem fio mas dos mais simples. Achei a qualidade muito boa, pegada confortável e desliza muito bem na minha mesa, coisa que o antigo já não fazia.
O recurso multidispositivos tem sido muito útil também, deixei o receptor usb no notebook da empresa (perfil 1) e conectei via bluetooth com o meu computador pessoal (perfil 2), não preciso mais ficar tirando e trocando o receptor de lugar, esperando windows reconhecer, basta apertar o botão embaixo do mouse e ele faz a troca bem rápido, estou até procurando um teclado sem fio com essa funcionalidade para reduzir os fios na mesa. O uso via USB é muito bom e não tem nenhum delay perceptível para uso estilo escritório, mas para jogos, principalmente os mais rápidos, talvez ocorra.
Como estamos em pandemia não precisei carregar ele para lugar nenhum, apenas utilizei em casa, mas vale observar que ele é um pouco maior e mais pesado que outros mouses para notebook.
Infelizmente não consegui utilizar o recurso Flow, que permite deslizar o mouse de um PC para outro e até mesmo copiar e colar arquivos e texto como se fosse um setup multi-monitor, pois o notebook da minha empresa não permitiu a instalação do software.
Único ponto negativo é preço, mesmo em promoção é um produto com preço muito acima dos demais na mesma categoria, mas para quem precisa de um mouse confiável para o dia-a-dia e depende do computador para trabalho e/ou estudos o investimento pode se justificar.

A few months after ordering this mouse, I absolutely love it. I have a Macbook Pro (2016) and use an HP laptop at work, and I hate keeping track of USB dongles and dealing with incompatibilities between MacOS and Windows. The MX Anywhere has eliminated both problems. Pairing was quick and easy out of the box—I had this mouse up and running on both machines in minutes, and being able to swap between them at the press of a button is incredible.

The mouse is responsive, charges quickly, and has excellent battery life. he buttons have good tension and are responsive, but not so “clicky” as to be disturbing in an office setting. Its build quality is also excellent; solid and ergonomic without being too bulky to travel with easily. It also does not suffer from the random disconnects and signal losses that I have experienced with cheaper products. I frequently have 2-3 bluetooth devices connected to my Mac at any given time, so this is important—I don’t want my mouse to stop working when I turn on my headphones. I will say that I have experienced a few temporary disconnects when using the mouse with my HP laptop, but this seems to only happen when the driver gets out of date and it’s a truly miner issue. T

Finally, I wasn’t expecting to be impressed by Logitech Options, the free software that allows you to customize every aspect of the mouse, but I was. You can change all of the normal things you would expect (scroll speed and direction, button actions, left/right hand setups), but there are many more options for button mapping that vary depending on the operating system, and when you switch from one machine to another the mouse remembers your configurations for each. On my mac, the middle button captures a screenshot and saves it to my clipboard; on my HP, it pastes unformatted text. All that said, the most impressive feature to me is that you can make app-specific button maps as well. The mouse detects whether you are working in a “global” state or within a given app and adjusts all of the button assignments seamlessly. If the options you want aren’t there, you can simply program a button to execute any keystroke combination you wish.

Anyone could find a dozen ways to use the flexibility in this product to improve their workflow. Logitech has created an excellent synergy of hardware and software that is easy to setup and uses and provides value straight out of the box at a great price. I’m never going back to cheap mice.

I love this mouse. I had the last generation of this mouse, but it was dying too frequently, maybe lasted two weeks with moderate use. So I bought this one since it has double the battery size and supposedly a 70 day battery life. It came 50% charged so we’ll see how well it does.

Pros:
-Connectivity options to spare. With laptops losing ports it’s nice to have bluetooth as a fall back, and when Windows 10 decides to act up and not accept the bluetooth input then it’s nice to have the unifying receiver to work with. One thing to note, I don’t know if this says it anywhere, but this is a Bluetooth 4.0LE device I know Logitech likes hiding behind some weird name like “Bluetooth Smart”. I have BT 4.0 on my PC, and haven’t tested to see if it works with older radios.
-It plays well with Android. Ever since my NotePro got lollipop (5.0), it stopped accepting mice inputs. Called Samsung and they tried to sell me on their microscopic $50 mouse. At least with this $50 you know you’re getting great quality.
-Love that I can toggle between 3 devices.

Cons:
-Minor one is that the “Middle Click” is gone, that toggles the scroll wheel state from free to ratchet. As a result they added a button below the scroll wheel which by default is a gesture activation button, haven’t tried it out. I just went into the software and changed it to middle click. The other annoying thing is that it’s awkward to hit and not easily doable. I imagine if you have small hands, not an issue, but with my medium male hands, it’s not great.
-The 2S did away with a “connect” button on the underside. The MX 2 has that button. I like that button since it makes setting up pairing easy and means there isn’t an annoying button combo one has to remember when pairing since the power is tied to a toggle switch. Normally with like Bluetooth speakers and headphones, the power is a button and depending how long you press it it determines if it enters pairing mode. This being a switch removes that dual feature of the power button.

It feels the same and operates the same as the MX 2 before it. Haven’t messed with the “Flow” feature, and will have to see if the battery can withstand my testing. I used to be a huge fan of M510 by them, but only having 3 mouse ports made it annoying having to sacrifice one for a mandatory unifying receiver. For me this mouse is the perfect size, for larger hands, can’t say. The back of it juts so high that I think that’s what helps make it fit better in multiple hand sizes. Good mouse, with all the buttons you could want for and okay enough software for extended customisation options. The only issue with Logitech Options is that it has a battery level indicator, but it’s super vague and when you’re charging the mouse it won’t tell you how long until it’s full. Won’t even display charge level percentage. BT 3.0 was built with that option on offer to companies and it has been an option since 3.0, so 4.0 clearly has that feature and the mouse vaguely takes care of it by giving you vague responses and a near useless battery indicator. Percentage at least.

Note: Any future updates, revelations and what not will be listed in the comments since Amazon gets rather fickle when it comes to people updating reviews. Sometimes they don’t accept the changes.

UPDATE: Battery Life Test
Claims: 70 days worth, but if you read the manual that’s 70 days worth at 8hrs per day or 560hrs max total.
My Discover: Around 450hrs
My Setup and Use Case:
– April 6th got it and used it since then
– So about 30 days in, 20% battery life;
-30 days at 12hrs average use per day = 360.
– 20% = 1/5 left so 5-1= 4.
– 360/4 = 90; 90+360= 450 max projected life span
-I’m using a 3M mouse pad that is said to increase the battery life of optical mice by a max of 80%
-Connected via BlueTooth, not bad. Lasted more than a month, but far from the 70days or 560hrs max total. Maybe you can squeeze
more out of it if you use the Unifying receiver, I doubt it. Also this has the same battery size as the last generation mouse (500mA)
