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.
