Our Verdict

Logitech M535

Logitech MX Anywhere 3

The Logitech MX Anywhere 3 is a better mouse overall, but some may find the Logitech M535 a better travel mouse. The Anywhere 3 connects wirelessly with a USB receiver or via Bluetooth and has a rechargeable battery. It has two side buttons, a lower click latency, and you can unlock the wheel for free scrolling. It's suitable for most hand sizes using a fingertip grip. Comparatively, the M535 is more portable but connects via Bluetooth and uses one AA battery. It has gesture controls and a wheel with L/R tilt. It's suitable for smaller hands using a claw or fingertip grip.
