Now as I receive a new mouse for review, I have to put my oldie aside. The mouse I&#8217;m reviewing today is\u00a0Logitech Wireless Anywhere Mouse MX, let&#8217;s see if it could stay on my desk.<\/p>\n<h2>Unboxing and Testing Video<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iWzRIWL8TRs\" width=\"680\" height=\"383\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>Design<\/h2>\n<p>The Anywhere MX has a clean, yet strong design. This is a mouse with compact design. I think it is more suitable for laptop users because it is easier to carry around, a travel pouch is also included in the box. It is quite small compared to my current M570, so I don&#8217;t feel really comfortable using this mouse. Moreover, it is quite heavy, especially when you insert\u00a02 batteries inside.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6361\" src=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/logitech-wireless-anywhere-mx-2.jpg\" alt=\"logitech-wireless-anywhere-mx-2\" width=\"700\" height=\"472\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/logitech-wireless-anywhere-mx-2.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/logitech-wireless-anywhere-mx-2-300x202.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There is a programmable button and scroll wheel on top, dual-thumb buttons on left side and the\u00a0Darkfield Laser Tracking with on\/off switch on the bottom.<\/p>\n<p>You can slide off the battery cover on the bottom to insert batteries, there are two battery slots inside. The tiny\u00a0Logitech Unifying receiver can also be found here. As I&#8217;ve already got the receiver on\u00a0the M570, I don&#8217;t need to take it out because 1 receiver can be used for up to 6 compatible devices.<\/p>\n<h2>Features and Performance<\/h2>\n<p>There are a lot of features to like on the Anywhere MX. I really love its scroll wheel with dual-mode and 4-direction scrolling features. You can scroll horizontally as well as vertically with this wheel. And with just 1 click on the wheel, you can change between smooth (hyper-fast) and ratcheted (click-to-click) scrolling. The hyper-fast scrolling is very helpful for me because it could help me scroll faster when\u00a0reading books and long documents.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6374\" src=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/logitech-anywhere-mouse-mx.jpg\" alt=\"logitech-anywhere-mouse-mx\" width=\"700\" height=\"485\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/logitech-anywhere-mouse-mx.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/logitech-anywhere-mouse-mx-300x208.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/logitech-wireless-anywhere-mx-1.jpg\" alt=\"logitech-wireless-anywhere-mx-1\" width=\"700\" height=\"502\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/logitech-wireless-anywhere-mx-1.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/logitech-wireless-anywhere-mx-1-300x215.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Another impressive feature of the mouse is the\u00a0Darkfield Laser Tracking technology. This technology is said to give us freedom to work anywhere without a\u00a0mouse pad. I tried using the mouse on wood and glass tables and it worked really well. There is no difference in cursor accuracy when I used it on different surfaces.<\/p>\n<p>I haven&#8217;t had enough time to test battery life of the mouse yet, Logitech said that it could last for about 3 months with 2 AA batteries. As the mouse is quite heavy, I am using just 1 battery and I hope it could last for around 6 weeks. I will update this post by then.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Update<\/strong>: The battery is dead after 3 weeks, so the battery life is shorter than I expected.<\/p>\n<p>I have no complaint about the connection as I never lose it during the first week.<\/p>\n<p>However, I had some problems setting up the mouse on my Macbook running Mac OS X 10.9.2. My Mac didn&#8217;t detect the mouse\u00a0automatically and I had to install the Logitech Unifying software to pair it with the receiver.<\/p>\n<p><del>I also tried to install the Logitech Control Center\u00a0for Mac so that I could try some features such as assigning buttons or checking battery life, but it didn&#8217;t work at all. I received this message when opening the app:<\/del><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><del>\u00a0<em>&#8220;Please connect your Logitech cordless mouse Mini Receiver in a USB port and restart this program.&#8221;<\/em><\/del><\/p>\n<p><del>Another issue is that the dual-thumb buttons are working as left mouse button and as I couldn&#8217;t run the LCC software, I have no way to reassign those buttons. Hopefully Logitech will fix the bug soon.<\/del><\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<h3>Pros<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Portable design.<\/li>\n<li>Useful scroll wheel modes.<\/li>\n<li>Works on any surface.<\/li>\n<li>Reasonable price.<\/li>\n<li>Good connection.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Cons<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Heavy with 2 AA batteries.<\/li>\n<li>Its software is not working on Mac OS X.<\/li>\n<li>Uncomfortable due to small size.<\/li>\n<li>Battery life is short.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This could have been a great mouse if it didn&#8217;t have some problems on my Macbook. I tested it on Windows and it worked perfectly, so if you are using Windows, I totally recommend this mouse.
