Logitech MX Master 2S

A mouse that’s mighty on features

$100 From Logitech, logitech.com Features Bluetooth 4.0, Logitech Options and Flow software

This button-laden mouse’s appeal lies in its customization options, and the Flow feature that enables you to move the pointer across a screen edge to control another computer. Add a Flow-capable keyboard and its input follows, too.

Logitech lists its Options software as an optional install, but really you need it to unlock the mouse’s full potential. It provides ways to tailor button assignments, even to be different in each app. And though the software looks more Windows than Mac, there’s good consideration for the Mac with the ability to assign extra actions for when a modifier key is held. Additionally, multiple system features, such as Mission Control, App Exposé, and Notification Center, can be assigned to a single button: hold the gesture button on the side, then move the mouse up, down, left, or right.

Though bulky, the mouse is comfortable in the hand, and its elevated buttons discouraged our habit of resting a wrist on a desk. The drawback is the right-handed design; button customization won’t make up for that if you’re left-handed.

the bottom line. Highly customizable, and a great choice if you like button-based input that you can tailor to each of your apps.
