Logitech MX Anywhere 3

Mouse proud

-

The MX Anywhere 3 is expensive for a wireless mouse, but it’s packed with features that go some way to justifying its high price. Take the stainless steel central mouse wheel, for example. This sits on electromag­nets, so you can switch between frictionle­ss smooth scrolling, or add a ratched feel to it depending on your preference. You can even use it to scroll sideways by pressing the shortcut buttons on the side as you scroll.

It connects to devices via an included wireless USB dongle or Bluetooth.

It uses Logitech’s ‘Darkfield’ laser tracking, which is designed to work on highly reflective surfaces – such as glass – as well as it does on desktop surfaces and mouse pads, so you can work pretty much anywhere. We even used it on our trouser leg when working off our lap.

An expensive option that’s still just about worth it, if you want a full-featured device that’s ideal for any kind of work surface
