THE SHORT ANSWER

Our take

Shortlist the MX Anywhere 3S when you want a small rechargeable mouse that can switch between three devices and travel easily. Logitech documents a right-handed shape, USB-C charging, and MagSpeed scrolling; the separate thumb-wheel question needs a different answer.

Consider it for

Portable work across up to three devices.

Look elsewhere if

Left-handed use, a large palm-first shape, or a workflow where a dedicated horizontal thumb wheel is essential.

Pros & cons

What could work for you, and what to consider before buying.

What works in its favor

  • USB-C rechargeable power avoids carrying disposable mouse batteries.
  • Easy-Switch supports up to three paired Bluetooth devices.
  • The compact body and MagSpeed wheel suit a mobile desk.

What to weigh up

  • The standard model is documented as right-handed rather than left-handed.
  • Logitech lists no separate thumb wheel for horizontal navigation.
  • A Logi Bolt receiver is compatible but is not included with the consumer mouse.

What the features mean for you

Start with the shape and the way you carry it

The MX Anywhere 3S is aimed at work that moves between desks, bags, and computers. Logitech’s business datasheet identifies a right-handed design and lists a 99 g body measuring 100.5 mm long, 65 mm wide, and 34.4 mm high. Those dimensions make it a plausible compact option, but they do not predict comfort for every hand. If you prefer a broad palm rest or use a left hand, treat the shape as a decisive check rather than assuming that a familiar brand name settles it.

MagSpeed helps scrolling, while horizontal movement is different

Logitech describes the wheel as MagSpeed, with a precision and free-spinning mode. That addresses vertical scrolling through documents and pages. Its consumer feature table lists no thumb wheel, so this review does not count it as a separate horizontal-navigation control. Logitech’s support instructions describe horizontal scrolling through a side-button and wheel gesture instead. That may be enough for occasional wide sheets, but someone who uses horizontal timelines or spreadsheets all day should compare a model with a dedicated thumb control.

Three-device pairing is useful only with a little setup

The mouse can pair with up to three Bluetooth devices through Easy-Switch. Logitech also documents Logi Bolt compatibility, although the consumer package does not include the receiver. The practical choice is therefore Bluetooth when the computer supports it, or a separately purchased Bolt receiver when you want that receiver ecosystem. Pair each computer before relying on the switch. The three-channel claim describes stored connections; it does not promise an automatic cross-computer workflow or transfer of every setting without Logitech software.

Rechargeable power changes the packing routine

Logitech rates the internal battery for up to 70 days and provides USB-C charging. That removes AA cells from the regular packing list, but an advertised maximum is not a measured promise for your use. Keep a charging cable where you work and check the battery before a trip. The model’s value is the combination of a small body, rechargeable power, and multi-device switching. If you mainly use one desktop and want a larger ergonomic shell, those portable advantages may matter less than hand support.

What else to compare

The Signature M650 is a simpler AA-powered Logitech option with one pairing channel and a contoured body. The MX Master 3S adds a thumb wheel and more controls if horizontal navigation and a larger right-handed shape matter more than compactness. Compare exact hand orientation and receiver inclusion.

Before you buy

Does the MX Anywhere 3S include a Logi Bolt receiver?

Logitech documents Bolt compatibility, but the consumer product page says the receiver is not included. Check the exact package if you need Bolt on a desktop.

Can it switch between three computers?

Yes, Logitech documents Easy-Switch for up to three paired Bluetooth devices. Pair them first and check each computer’s Bluetooth or receiver support.

Does it have a dedicated horizontal thumb wheel?

No. Logitech lists no thumb wheel for this model. Its support guide describes a side-button and main-wheel gesture for horizontal scrolling.

The decision

Choose the MX Anywhere 3S for compact rechargeable multi-device work when its right-handed shape suits you. Choose another model when left-handed use, a large palm rest, or a separate thumb wheel is a must-have.
