Solid feeling mouse for home or travel use
I got this to replace a Logitech M535 on which the left-click button had failed after two years of daily use. The size and shape are nearly identical between the MX3 Anywhere and M535, however, the MX3 feels more substantial and "luxe". The additional weight on the MX3 isn't that all that great and shouldn't be a deal-breaker unless a few grams make a huge difference to you.I have a large hand and this mouse fits underneath my fingers. I can move the mouse easily with fingertip control and the heel of my hand resting on my mouse pad. My thumb and little finger do touch the mouse pad, but it is the same as with my old M535. I believe some people call this the "claw grip". The mouse slides smoothly and doesn't seem to catch, skip or grind. I found the side grips to work just fine and they feel good (smooth but not slippery, secure but not sticky).Tracking is smooth and accurate, the button click is positive and tactile. YES, there is a soft click when pressing the left or right button, so it isn't "silent". But honestly, I like the auditory feedback and I wouldn't call it loud at all.The metal scroll wheel is silent (even though you feel a gentle tactile feedback) smooth and the ridges give you positive control. I like the "superfast" response when you spin the scroll wheel quickly. I didn't find myself flying all over a webpage unless I consciously spun the scroll when quickly to get back to the top or bottom of the page.The Logitech software seems to work fine with Mac OS Monterrey for customizing mouse buttons and settings not covered in the Mac OS.I can't comment about battery life yet as I haven't had to recharge it yet after two weeks of daily use. I do like that it is rechargeable. The included charging cord seems to be well made. I did top off the mouse's charge overnight upon receiving it (regulations don't permit electronics to ship with a full charge for safety reasons) and it seemed to charge in a reasonable amount of time. I also like that the charge port is on the front of the mouse so you can continue to use it while it is charging.I've had no issues with connectivity.All in all, I am pleased with this purchase and feel it is worth the money.

Great portable mouse. Reliable, robust, and tough.
This is the best compact, portable mouse I've ever had. Well weighted, good battery life, tough, and works on every surface I've tried it on. Just bought a replacement because my girlfriend's dog thought it looked tasty. I can't confirm the flavor, but can confirm that I use the 'right-click' far more often that I thought.

Perfect alternative to Magic Mouse
I normally use a Magic Trackpad, but sometimes I need a mouse. I tried Magic Mouse and strangely it didn't work well for me at all. This Logitech mouse is just right. The wheel is a bit odd the way it notches and then releases when you scroll quickly but you get used to it easily enough. It holds a charge for a long time and connects quickly every time.

Good mouse for home office.
Used it every day for the last 3 years. Good small footprint mouse for home office.

A Step Backward from the 2S
UPDATE: I was able to configure the mouse to act the way I wanted it to (and resolved the horizontol scroll issue I mention below) using the Logtech Options software. BUT, it won't save through a reboot. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling/deleting and reinstalling drivers, saving profiles online, and even creating my own startup task to run Logitech Options on startup. None of this works. I found online that tons of people have had this problem with the Logitech software for years accross different versions and devices, and Logitech hasn't fixed it. I've decided to get rid of this mouse.The MX Anywhere series is my favorite line of mice. I have owned the original, the 2, and the 2S. They all have great battery life, are compact, are generally nice looking and convenient to use. But, the 3 is a step backward in my opinion.First, the changes are mostly cosmetic (and arguably not in a good way). Sure, they changed the scroll wheel to the magentic one found in the Master (I have a Master as well), but other than that, I don't see any sort of actual upgrades. In fairness, I accidentally ordered the Mac version, thinking I was just getting the white/grey option, but as I note below, that hasn't really affected the functionality (that I can tell).About the Mac version -- Although not advertised, It DOES pair with the USB unifying receiver. This was important to me because I have a dual boot system, and I didn't want to waste two of my device spots for the same laptop. So, Yay! Although not advertised, the USB functionality is there. Please note, though, that the mouse didn't want to switch between smooth and notched scrolling until I updated my Logitech Options app in Windows. No big deal.Ok, the downgrades -- the scroll wheel no longer clicks left and right. You supposedly can left/right scroll by holding either of the thumb buttons and scrolling with the wheel, but it doesn't work for me. :( Not sure if this is related to connecting via the Unifying Receiver or if it's a problem with the Mac version or something else. Anyway, the left and right clicks on the scroll wheel are gone. Boooooooo! It feels like my mouse just lost two buttons and got weaker.The mouse feels a tiny touch lighter (could be my imagination), which is probably a bonus in a travel mouse, but it feels a little cheaper. Conversely, my 2S has a slight rattle to it when I shake it, whereas this one makes no noise whatsoever.The sides of the 2S have a sort of a gem pattern finish to give it grip, whereas on the 3 they've used a series of ridges. The finish on the older mouse gives it a premium look and is more comfortable. The new finish is slicker and doesn't look as good.Now, the improvements -- ??? I guess, the magnetic scroll thing. I don't find it any better than the previous scroll technology they were using on the Anywhere series. There IS one definite improvement: USB-C connection. Another thing, which I find both positive and negative, is that the scroll wheel click now works like other mice. If you click it, you can then use the mouse to scroll in 360 degrees. That said, you could assign that functionality elsewhere on the 2S (like the button under the scroll wheel, which now just switches between smooth scroll and notched scroll; BUT, I preferred to use that button to switch between desktops).All of that said, both of these mice (the 2S and the 3) are customizable via the Logitech app, so you can mostly make them behave however you wish. But, for my money, the 3 is simply a step in the wrong direction.What Logitech could do to improve this mouse: revert to the old grip pattern (it's better); move the device selector somewhere else on the mouse (front right corner seems like a good place for three small recessed buttons OR left side towards the bottom front for thumb operation); bring back left/right clicks on the wheel; and add a second button to the top for desktop switching. Another device pairing or two would be great, but that's wishful thinking. That's a mouse I'd pay over $100 for.Conclusion: I'll probably give the 3 away and keep using my 2S. I'll probably buy a few more of the 2S just in case Logitech keep going down this route (Please don't ruin my favorite mouse, Logitech!).Disclaimer: I do not take advantage of the Flow software. It seems kind of gimmicky to me, to be honest, although I'm sure some people have a good use for it. Also, I have only used this mouse on Windows so far. If I run into other problems on Linux or Android I'll update the review.
