If you press down on the mouse wheel it alters the scrolling mode between free/normal) More criticism! The Logitech MX Anywhere 2 is a rechargeable wireless mouse for Macs and Windows PCs that offers smooth, precise operation, lots of customization options and decent ergonomics for a mobile mouse, and works on almost any surface. It is usable for recharging the mouse but not ideal for charging and using the mouse at the same time. You can continue using the mouse while charging with a Micro-USB cable, and just 1 minute of charging gives you 2 hours of usage. It has an integrated rechargeable battery that's supposed to last up to 60 days on a single charge, which is almost double the battery life of the MX Master.

The left side has forward and back buttons just above the thumb rest, while the scroll wheel itself can also be pushed left or right for a variety of uses. There’s a lot more to the mouse than just by general despair that resulted in the poor choice of colour. These mice, and several other Logitech products, use a tiny USB Pico Unifying Receiver dongle that plugs into your Mac (or PC).Just keep in mind: This ‘acting up’ could of course be related to Windows 10 rather than the mouse itself (Or the Zenbook for that matter) – but for the time being as I have no way of knowing which it is, I’ll just have to mention it and let you decide. And it is not clear whether it is a problem with the switches or with the mouse mechanics failing to operate the switches as the issues can usually be resolved by gluing a thin plastic film on the notches which press the switches. I bought an MX Anywhere a couple of years ago to pair with another PC and this past year it started exhibiting the same problems you described. Last year, Logitech came up with upgrades for both, the MX Master as the replacement for M950, and MX Anywhere 2 replacing the M905. The scroll wheel is ridged rubber in the center and metal on the sides, and can be pressed in to change its function.

Compatibility Details - USB Port or Bluetooth Smart Ready Device | USB Port Windows 7, Windows 8 or higher Mac OS X 10. This works just like when you have multiple displays, which is pretty novel technology, and genuinely handy if you hop locations around the office, switch between a laptop and desktop to do your work, or need multiple devices to work out of a hotel room. Logitech has moved from a AA battery powering the first generation to a rechargeable 500 mAh 5 V battery, and it is charged from a micro USB cable. The removal of the sliding door on the bottom as both a protective cover and an on/off switch is also too bad, especially with the pouch also being missed.

Mac users, meanwhile, enjoy the extra luxury of gesture support -- most of the multifinger trackpad gestures can be duplicated on the MX Anywhere 2 when holding down an extra key. WHAT'S COVERED: Immediate protection against accidental damage, along with cover for breakdowns and faults not covered by the seller/manufacturer warranty.

Pair MX Anywhere 2 with up to 3 devices and easily switch between them at the touch of a button thanks to Easy-Switch technology. Perhaps, the M905 is just so, so good, that there’s nothing left for Logitech to do, or doing more than what they did with the MX Anywhere 2 might have negative consequences or ruin the end product.Once you pair with a computer or tablet (the Anywhere 2S works with either Windows or Mac), you can press this button to switch between them on the fly, and three indicator lights above the button tell you which link is currently active. It’s (probably) more comfortable to my hands, has more functions, and arguably an overall better mouse than the MX Anywhere 2. Movement detection technology: Laser, Device interface: RF Wireless+Bluetooth, Movement resolution: 1000 DPI, Buttons type: Pressed buttons, Buttons quantity: 7, Scroll type: Wheel. This removes one of the biggest issues with the original mouse which was the lack of Bluetooth support.

The overall shape remains relatively unchanged from the original M905, and that’s a good thing, since for me, the M905 has one of the best shape for small, travel mouse. But as far as mobile mice go, it's a worthy successor to the original MX Anywhere, which was powered by two AA batteries and didn't look or feel quite as swanky as this mouse, but had similar features. The reduce in weight kind of throw me off a little bit, but I’m sure it’s just a matter of getting used to. I'm not giving up on Logitech, but I'm giving up on anything they might brand as 'Stone Coloured' from now on. com and PC Magazine are among the federally registered trademarks of Ziff Davis and may not be used by third parties without explicit permission.The Darkfield sensor is still as excellent as ever, providing very accurate tracking even on a problematic surface such as a transparent glass table.
