Our Verdict

Logitech M720 Triathlon

Logitech MX Anywhere 2S

The Logitech M720 Triathlon is better for office use than the Logitech MX Anywhere 2S, although the MX Anywhere 2S is still a very good option. The M720 feels better built, and its high back makes it suitable for people with small or medium hands if you like using a claw or palm grip. Also, it has a third side button, making switching between paired devices easier. On the other hand, the Anywhere 2S is significantly lighter and smaller, so it should fit in laptop bags and cases much easier.
