One of the struggles of working away from an office or desk is finding a suitable option for a mouse. There are plenty of wireless solutions out there but they often struggle to meet the needs of professionals for a variety of reasons.
Today, Logitech has announced a new portable wireless mouse that takes its design cues from the popular Master MX. Head below for full details on the new Logitech MX Anywhere 2 Wireless Mouse.
From the looks of it, the Logitech MX Anywhere 2 is essentially a scaled down version of the Master MX. It has the same gold and black polygonal stylings as well as an ergonomic shape designed to fit comfortably in your hand. Power users will appreciate the adaptive “hyper-fast” scrolling that adjusts based on the speed of the the wheel.
The MX Anywhere 2 also features Logitech’s Darkfield
It can pair up to three computers at a time and switch between them by pressing the small button on the bottom of the mouse. Logitech states that users can expect two months of use with a full battery charge. An included microUSB cable handles recharging the built-in battery. Although it lacks the multi-touch support that Mac users love about the Magic Mouse, the ergonomic design and customization make this new offering from Logitech worth a look.
Logitech has set the price at $79.99 for the MX Anywhere 2, it is available for pre-order today with an undetermined launch date.
