Logitech MX Anywhere 2S Bluetooth Wireless Mouse

Realmente no te equivocas con este mouse. La calidad es impecable, el funcionamiento perfecto. Si nunca has tenido un Logitech de la gama más alta, esto es lo que te dará de diferencia:

– Láser: altísima precisión en el movimiento del cursor, sobre cualquier superficie. Tal vez usarlo en vidrio sea poco frecuente, pero cualquier superficie muy lisa/brillosa no le resta precisión como a los ópticos.
– Scroll ultra rápido: la rueda tiene dos modos, el clásico y el de giro libre. El giro libre es todo un placer en textos largos y páginas con feeds como fb.
– Personalización: tienes que bajar el software y ahí puedes asignar funciones diferentes a cada uno de los 7 botones. No sólo eso, puedes crear configuraciones específicas para cada programa y automáticamente entran en función cuando estás en ese programa. Puedes asignar una función de la lista o una combinación de teclas a un botón. Esto puede aumentar muchísimo tu eficiencia en el uso de cada programa, no es algo que deba subestimarse. Recuerda, tienes 7 botones.
– Conectividad: Bluetooth y USB. No necesitas bloquear permanentemente un puerto USB de tu laptop, pero puedes usar ese modo cuando quieras. Además funciona en tres computadoras y cambias entre ellas con un botoncito en un segundo.
– Flow: esto es lo mejor. Puede estar funcionando en dos computadoras al mismo tiempo. Cruzas de una pantalla a la otra. Copias algo en una y lo pegas en la otra, texto o archivos. Esto es incomparable.
– Recargable: esto es poco relevante. Incluye un cable micro USB del que usan todavía muchos teléfonos. Es una función de lujo, pero yo preferiría la universalidad de una batería AA.

Lo que no me gustó tanto:

– El tamaño: este mouse es el último sucesor de la línea super compacta del VX nano, que después fue el MX anywhere. En esos tiempos, el VX Revolution era la forma intermedia entre este y el máximo mouse de Logitech (MX Revolution, seguido del Performance MX, MX master, etc.). Esa forma intermedia era mucho más ergonómica que esta, pero Logitech la asignó a modelos de menor categoría que no tienen todas las funciones. A cambio, es muy transportable. Recomiendo que vayas a una tienda donde lo tengan exhibido y lo compares con el MX Master y decidas cuál se siente más cómodo en tu mano.

En conclusión: si estás considerando un buen mouse y te intimida el precio, ten por seguro que las funciones que brinda lo valen, y si lo usas en tu trabajo, puede mejorar tu productivad.

Alternativa: Si te gusta la idea de tener 5 botones personalizables y sensor calidad láser, pero no te parece necesario el Scroll libre y no te interesa toda esa onda geek de computadoras múltiples, el M510 es una mucho mejor opción que un mouse básico, y es de tamaño completo.

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)

Now that the Mx Anywhere 3 is out I thought I would share my opinion.

I bought this mouse 2.5 years ago. In my hands, it has been thousands and thousands of hours of use. I use it for every PC I own. Due to the switching button on the bottom it makes changing device seamless. I have travelled everywhere and always brought it with me. It is durable, and I usually just threw it in my bag without a protective case. The speed is fast, meaning there is no latency. Via bluetooth it works quite far from the computer. Which is handy when I am using my TV monitor to display my laptop. The battery seems to last forever. I have actually never run out of battery. Sometimes after a month I decide I should probably charge it and when I always am surprised when I see how much battery life is still present. For me, its a comfortable mouse, and I big hands (lanky long fingers).

Logitech Options is a fantastic program. Very customizable, and the Flow feature is very useful as well.

I think after seeing the newly released 3rd Gen, I decided I probably will buy another 2S instead down the road. Specifically, getting rid of the left and right scroll is a deal breaker to me. it is one of those features it is easy to take for granted, but it is a feature I find I am always always using.

The anywhere series is great because you can use it literally anywhere. I have used it on the comforter while laying in bed, on the carpet, even outdoors on the grass and it still works well. Once thing is for certain as this that the price for this mouse is worth every penny to me. And at this point, I see myself sticking with the anywhere series in general for decades more.

O mouse é bastante confortável, mesmo sendo menor. É bastante portatil e o fato de ter também bluetooth é excelente para quando não quero ter que carregar tambem o transmissor ou ocupar uma porta usb com ele. A precisão dele tambem é um ponto forte, sem contar que ele realmente funciona ate mesmo sobre o vidro. Fiquei surpreso com a roda do meio dele, que pode ser configurada pra uma rolagem mais rapida ou mais precisa, apenas com um clique. O ponto que mais gostei dele foi a capacidade de customizar todos os botões. Tem como configurar o botao do centro para controlar as midias (play, pause, aumentar/diminuir volume e passar as faixas). Eu vinha querendo comprar o MX Master 3, mas peguei esse na promoção por 199 (1/3 do valor do outro) e estou muito satisfeito.
