Logitech MX Anywhere 3S Wireless Mouse: Specs, Dimensions, Release Date & Reviews (2026)

The MX Anywhere 3S is Logitech's compact, premium travel mouse — the small sibling of the MX Master 3S. It came out in May 2023 at $79.99 [3], adding quiet clicks and an 8,000 DPI sensor to the MX Anywhere 3 design. This page is based on Logitech's published specifications and independent reviews; we don't test mice in-house.

Quick verdict

If you work from a laptop in different places — home, office, café, hotel desk — and want a small mouse that tracks on almost any surface, switches between three devices, and lasts weeks per charge, the MX Anywhere 3S is the standard recommendation. PCWorld called it "the best travel mouse around if you're willing to pay up" [2]. Two caveats: it's pricey for a small mouse, and the USB receiver isn't in the box [2].

What changed from the MX Anywhere 3

PCWorld summarises three changes [2]:

1. Quiet clicks — a soft "tap" instead of a loud click, like the MX Master 3S.
2. 8,000 DPI sensor — double the previous 4,000 DPI.
3. Logi Bolt instead of Unifying — but the Bolt receiver is no longer included, even though the price stayed at $80.

If you already own an MX Anywhere 3 and don't mind the click noise, PCWorld's view is that the 3S "doesn't do much more than its predecessor" [2].

What reviewers highlight

• Travel-friendly. PCWorld lists "easy to travel with" and "tracks on anything" as its top pros [2]. Logitech's Darkfield sensor works on glass [1].
• Quiet. "New quiet clicks are, um, quiet" [2] — useful in shared offices and on calls.
• Multi-device. It pairs with up to three devices over Bluetooth and switches between them [1]; MacSources highlights the seamless switching [3].
• Battery. Up to 70 days per charge, and a one-minute charge gives three hours of use [1].

What to know before buying

• No receiver in the box. It connects over Bluetooth out of the box. If your computer lacks Bluetooth, or your workplace requires a USB receiver, you need to buy a Logi Bolt receiver separately [1][2][3]. Older Logitech Unifying receivers won't work [3].
• The scroll wheel feels different. The MagSpeed wheel takes some getting used to if you're coming from an older ratcheting Logitech wheel [3].
• Size. At 100.5 mm long [3], it's a compact mouse built for travel. If it will live at one desk all day, consider Logitech's full-size MX Master 3S as well.
• Price. "A bit pricey" is PCWorld's main con [2].

What are the MX Anywhere 3S dimensions? 100.5 mm tall (long), 65 mm wide, 34.4 mm deep, and 99 g [3].

Bottom line

The MX Anywhere 3S is the go-to premium travel mouse: small, quiet, works on any surface, and switches between your devices. Budget for a Bolt receiver if you need one, and choose the MX Master 3S instead if it will live at one desk.
