Logitech Mice: Two Tested, One Watched

By June Ramli

Lately my desk has become a revolving door for computer mice. Logitech in particular keeps sending review units, and I have been putting them through their paces during long days of writing, editing and studying. Here is an honest look at three of them, spanning different budgets and needs.

The comfort pick

The first is the Signature Comfort Plus M850 L, a $99.95 wireless Bluetooth mouse that leans hard into comfort. It is Logitech’s first mouse to feature a palm cushion, a soft pad designed to give your hand somewhere cosy to rest during long work sessions.
On paper, the M850 L ticks plenty of boxes. It has cosy side grips, quiet clicks, SmartWheel scrolling and Easy-Switch, which lets you jump between up to three devices.

Logitech says 93 per cent of surveyed users felt comfortable using it even after a full workday, based on a 2025 US study of 105 participants over a five-day trial.
My experience was more complicated. The mouse is big — too big for my hand — and I found it hard to use comfortably. The “L” in the name is a clue. If you have large hands, this could be the ideal fit, and the palm cushion is a genuinely nice touch. For smaller hands like mine, though, it felt like too much mouse.

The one that won me over

The mouse that won me over was the Logitech MX Anywhere 3S. It arrived one morning and was tested immediately with my iMac, replacing an Apple Magic Mouse that had started to feel uncomfortable on the fingers during longer sessions.
Setup was fast and straightforward. The mouse connected within seconds and was ready to use almost immediately. My first impression was that it was smaller than expected, but that compact size quickly became a strength, making it easy to handle and comfortable to use for hours at a time.
The standout feature is the silver scroll wheel. It feels smooth and responsive when moving through documents, websites and editing screens. For anyone who spends their day writing, browsing, editing or studying, that small detail makes daily computer use feel noticeably easier.

Under the hood, the MX Anywhere 3S offers quiet clicks, 8K DPI tracking and Logitech’s MagSpeed scroll wheel, which is built to fly through long pages and documents at speed.
It was not flawless. During the initial setup, I could not seamlessly cross-use the mouse across different devices, despite the MX series being marketed around multi-device workflows. It is a minor frustration, but worth flagging if switching between machines is central to how you work.
Even so, the MX Anywhere 3S would suit editors, students, gamers and anyone who spends long hours at a computer and wants something compact and comfortable. My review unit came in graphite with a charging cable included. Logitech also highlights its use of recycled plastic and lists the carbon footprint at 3.44kg CO2e. At $139.95, it is the priciest of the three, but if you have the budget, it is the one I would choose.

The newcomer to watch

The newest arrival on my radar — though not yet on my desk — is the Mobi Fold, which Logitech unveiled in Sydney on 10 June. Billed as the company’s first foldable mouse, it is aimed squarely at people who work everywhere but a desk.
Logitech points to what it calls an “on-the-go productivity gap”: while 72 per cent of professionals own a mouse, only 26 per cent actually use one in public. The company says the bulk and friction of traditional tools are to blame. “For a long time, people have left their mice behind simply because they were a hassle to carry around, not because they didn’t want to use one,” said Joseph Mingori, VP and General Manager at Logitech.

The pitch is clever. A folding mechanism collapses the mouse to nearly half its size, powering on automatically when opened and off when closed. Logitech claims it reduces muscle strain by 22 per cent compared with a laptop trackpad. It offers Adaptive Touch Scrolling, two customisable buttons, quiet clicks, and connects to up to three devices across Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, Android, iPadOS and Linux.
It also sounds built for travel. The exterior is drop-tested and dust-resistant, the hinge is rated for 15 years of daily use, and a one-minute charge promises 22 hours of use, or up to 30 days on a full charge. An on-device AI model is designed to prevent accidental clicks as you fold it away. It comes in Graphite, Lilac and Off-White, uses recycled materials, and is priced at $129.95, with a business version at $149.95.
So which mouse wins? It depends on your hands, your habits and your budget. The M850 L is a comfortable, affordable pick if your hands are on the larger side. The Mobi Fold looks like the one to watch for frequent travellers, and I will report back once I have tested it. But for daily desk work, the MX Anywhere 3S is the one that earned a permanent spot next to my keyboard provided you can stretch to the price.
