Logitech Options
The Logitech Options software is not necessarily to use the Logitech MX Anywhere 2 mouse with your Windows or Mac PC. However, it gives you the ability to customise the mouse buttons, scrolling speed and gesture options.
The Logitech MX Anywhere 2 has a default sensitivity of 1,000 dpi. This is lower than what you would expect from a gaming mouse, because this is a mouse designed for mobile users who would have less screen area to work with. However, you can use Logitech Options to change the MX Anywhere 2‘s sensitivity from as low as 400 dpi all the way to 1,600 dpi, in steps of 200 dpi.
Our Verdict
For a relatively small mouse, the Logitech MX Anywhere 2 packs a ton of smart features. It supports both WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity, which includes the ability to pair with up to 3 different computers or devices.
Road warriors who have to put up with all sorts of different table surfaces at cafés and airports will love its Darkfield laser sensor. This dual-laser sensor technology allows the MX Anywhere 2 to work on virtually any surface, including glass and highly glossy surfaces.
[adrotate banner=”4″]The Logitech MX Anywhere 2 also comes with a scroll wheel that not only supports vertical and horizontal scrolling, but also the option to switch between ratcheted and smooth scrolling modes. Just press the scroll wheel to switch modes – it can’t be any faster or simpler than that!We also like the fact that Logitech was smart enough to recharge the MX Anywhere 2 via a micro-USB port in the front. This allows the mouse to be used while it’s charging, essentially converting it into a wired mouse while it’s charging up.
We thoroughly enjoyed our limited time with the Logitech MX Anywhere 2. It worked very well with both our Mac and Windows computers, switching between Bluetooth and its WiFi-based Unifying receiver effortlessly. It is therefore our pleasure to award it with our Reviewer’s Choice Award. Congratulations, Logitech!

Why are you referring to 2.4GHz unifying receiver as wifi? Wifi is the popular name for IEEE 802.11(at least a,b,g,n,ac), which this mouse does not implement.
On another note, I’m dissapointed with Logitech that after showing off this tech with this mouse and it’s bigger brother, MX Masters, they released their 3rd multi-device bluetooth keyboard without including support for unifying receiver. That would make the keyboard usable in emergency PC situations (i.e. your portable NUC/HDMI stick malfunctions and you need pre-boot keyboard, but you are 300km from home).
You are correct, Mathew7. It would be inaccurate to call it WiFi even though it uses a similar 2.4 GHz band radio. It’s been corrected. Thanks for the feedback!
this mouse remind me of Roccat Pyra with it’s recharging “wired “mode.
Although Anywhere Mouse MX2 having plenty of interesting features, like dual wireless mode, gesture button, and convenient pairing up to 3 devices, I actually still prefer the 1st version which I’m using it now. The best feature of V1 is the sensor cover which double as on-off switch. It’s quite important for me as I always put my mouse in a heavily loaded laptop bag. It will help the sensor been damaged by others sharp thing on my bag.
Logitech also retain the same size for V2, as this design is really comfortable to hold.
Oh, that’s why I usually have a small padded bag to keep the mouse safe. Alternatively, I use the Cocoon Grid-It organizer.
