Our Verdict
Apple Magic Mouse 2
Logitech MX Anywhere 3
The Logitech MX Anywhere 3 is better overall than the Apple Magic Mouse 2. The Logitech feels more comfortable overall, has programmable buttons, and the scroll wheel unlocks for infinite scrolling. It also has lower click latency and a customizable CPI range. However, the Apple feels better built and is easier to carry around because it doesn't have a USB receiver.
